 If you need to re-add it later, simply scan the QR code on the recorder again.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • If you’re sharing the device with others, deleting it will also stop their access.

  • If the device is bound to your account, it must be unbound before someone else can add it on their account.

  • For some older DVRs/NVRs, you may need to log in using a browser or iVMS-4200 to unbind the device if it doesn’t release from the app.
