Find your recorder guide
Start with the model on your recorder, not just the name on your order.
CVT106N / W / H / S
Blue setup screen · Shared new-interface guide
↓ Download manual · 24.59MWhich recorder is this?
CVT106N has no built-in monitor. W/H/S monitor models use the same guide. All WiFi 6 models have a blue setup screen. Current N-series orders ship with the CVT106N WiFi6 recorder, even when the listing retains an older kit SKU.
CVT808C / 804C / 808A
Match your model and setup screen before choosing a guide.
↓ Browse original manualsBlack screen or blue screen?
CVT808C black: 21.12M or 22.04M.
CVT808C blue: New UI 23.04M.
CVT808A: use the CVT808A manual.
CVT804C and other models need their matching guide. A blue screen alone does not prove WiFi 6. If unsure, send Support the General-screen photo before following setup or firmware steps.
Early Wireless HD NVR systems
Looking for the manual that came with your older system? Use the archived May 2017 guide below. Match the recorder and menus shown in the guide; if they differ, send Support a photo of your model and firmware screen.

Adding or replacing a camera?
Check the match before you buy. Send us the recorder and camera model numbers.
What to check before upgrading
- Send both recorder and camera model numbers to support before buying a replacement. Similar appearance or WiFi generation alone does not establish compatibility.
- Confirm available channels, camera type, pairing method, and power requirements. Older Ethernet-pairing cameras and reset-button cameras use different steps.
- Wireless refers to the video connection. The recorder and each camera still need their specified plug-in power adapters.
- CVT30WB standard AI bullet cameras use infrared night vision and do not include floodlights, panic sirens or two-way audio. These features require a supported camera such as CVT35WB.
- In a two-floodlight/two-standard-bullet kit, lighting, sirens and two-way talk apply to the two floodlight cameras.
Camera features depend on the camera model, even when several models use the same recorder.
Quick answers, when you need them
Choose the issue below. Open only the answer you need.
Cameras work on the NVR but not in EseeCloud
First confirm that all cameras display on the recorder. For the new interface, check System Setup > Network > Connect to Router (Wireless) > Network Status. Once online, find the Cloud ID under System Setup > Account/APP. In EseeCloud, use Add by Cloud ID and your recorder login when prompted. Older interfaces use different menu paths; use the matching guide. Never post passwords or device access codes publicly.
Local recording is separate from optional cloud storage. Buying cloud storage is not a troubleshooting step for local recording.
Pair a compatible camera with the new interface
Test the camera about 3–6 feet from the recorder with the correct power adapter. For reset-button cameras, follow the model-specific reset instructions, select + on the bottom NVR menu, then Continue. Confirm live video before mounting. If the camera uses Ethernet pairing or the menus differ, contact support for the matching steps.
A camera disconnects or the recorder restarts
Check whether one camera, all cameras, or the recorder is affected. Check power connections and ventilation. Test an affected camera near the recorder using its correct adapter. Distance, walls, metal and interference can affect wireless operation. If the recorder itself restarts, contact support to check its power supply and connected storage before replacing the system. Use only the correct voltage, polarity, connector and current rating; a camera adapter may not power the NVR properly.
Live video works but recordings are missing
Check whether the hard drive is detected, the recording schedule, selected channel, and recorder date/time. Record the HDD status or error message and contact support. Do not format a drive if you need its recordings: formatting erases them. Contact support before formatting or opening the recorder.
No sound in a recording
Audio requires an audio-capable camera; it cannot be enabled on CVT30WB. On a supported camera with the matching new interface, open System Setup > Camera, select the channel, then Keep Recording and Sound Recording. If the option is absent, confirm the camera model with support.
Password recovery or firmware help
Open a private support ticket with your recorder model and issue. Do not share passwords or verification codes publicly, and do not install firmware intended for another model.
