What to Do If P2P Status Shows Offline?

Introduction:

To remotely access the NVR system on the phone APP or computer software, the cloud network status of the NVR system must be ‘Online’.

For the new version, right-click the mouse on the monitor and go to ‘Fast Network’ to check the cloud network status.

If the system is ‘Offline‘, please refer to this article to make it ‘Online’.

Steps:

1. Make sure the NVR system is connected to the router directly by network cable.

2. Go to ‘Network Setup‘ and make sure ‘DHCP‘ is enabled.

Tip: Reboot the NVR system after checking the above network settings.

If the system is still offline, go to ‘Network Setup‘ to disable ‘DHCP’. Then enter ‘8.8.8.8‘ on ‘Preferred DNS‘. After that, reboot the system and check if the system is ‘online’.

If the system is offline even after the DNS server is changed, please try the instructions below.

1. Change another network cable for the system.

2. Go to ‘System Setup→System Admin→Factory Settings‘ to reset the system.

3. Connect the system to another router if you have one.

Purpose: If you want to remotely access the Annke system via phone app or computer software, the system’s network status must be Online. Below is the method to make the Annke New Series system online.

Here are the steps:

1. Make sure the receiver is connected to a router via ethernet cable. You can try to change another ethernet cable and another router port to check.
   
2. Go to Setting- Network- General, tick on ‘DHCP‘ and “Obtain DNS automatically“, then click ‘Apply’.
   
3. Go to ANNKE Vision, tick on ‘Enable‘.  Please make sure the Verification Code must be set up, and we suggest don’t check the Stream encryption.
   

4. If you find the above setting still cannot make your system online, please go back to Setting- Network- General to disable ‘DHCP‘ and “Obtain DNS automatically“, input ‘8.8.8.8‘ in Preferred DNS server, then click on Apply to save the settings.  After that, you can Reboot the system to see if the system becomes online.
   
5. Restore the system to the factory default settings and activate it again from the beginning.
