NVR P2P Guide - Adding an NVR to LILINPro using P2P

LILIN NVRs (3 Series and later) support P2P connectivity as a standard feature, allowing users to access their system remotely through the LILINPro mobile application.

Although the P2P licence is pre-installed on the NVR, the feature may need to be enabled before it can be used for remote access.

Once enabled, P2P provides a simple method of connecting to the NVR without requiring complex network configuration, such as port forwarding, making remote access quicker and easier to set up.

Click Apply

Once enabled, the NVR will show a QR code, displayed below the licence status box. The QR code will reflect the correct information based on the active licence key.

6. Ensure that the Status Box shows Registration done! before proceeding. If registration done! is not shown, it is unlikely the next steps will work correctly. It is recommended to follow the P2P Registration Failed guide here.
 

The P2P QR Code will also be displayed at the bottom of the NVR's main menu, as shown below.
