Add Your NVR to DMSS on Android or Apple
This guide will walk you through adding your Precision Cam NVR to the DMSS app on your Android or Apple device.
Getting the NVR Software Serial Number
You will need the software serial number of your NVR in order to add it to DMSS. It is documented on the datasheet that came with your system. You can access the serial number by going to the Main Menu on your NVR, selecting the Network option at the bottom, then the P2P/Easy4IP option along the left.
Installing the DMSS Application
DMSS is the app we recommend for our systems. You may have an older version on your device, such as iDMSS or gDMSS. Those apps may still work, but are no longer being supported. You can download DMSS through the Play Store or App Store. This tutorial was done on an Android device. The steps will be similar on an Apple device, though it may ask for different permissions at different times.
App Permissions
When first opening the app and when using certain features later, it may request certain permissions. To save video or snapshots from your NVR, the app needs photo and media permissions. To view video while using cellular data, the app needs data permissions.
