Can I remove/replace cameras from the web interface?

[mattdm_579588790694198]

I'd planned for my NVR to live in the basement on a shelf and manage it remotely -- it didn't occur to me that this might not be possible. But the web interface (and phone app) even when logged in as administrator do not seem to offer the same functionality. Am I missing something, or do I need to actually plug in a monitor and mouse to remove cameras?

(The context: for some reason, one of my cameras is showing up on both channel 2 AND channel 4, and I just want to delete everything and start over. But ... I don't seem able to?)

@mattdm_579588790694198 If you want to start afresh you need to delete them from all entities where you have defined them, namely, Windows Client, Android/IoS client and NVR (you need a mouse and an monitor). If you don't know how to delete them (fairly easy) go to Reolink site and in the search field enter 'How to delete camera from POE NVR', etc. Still I cannot understand why you want to delete them. For instance you can easily delete the other channel.

Ok, so it can't really just be headless in the basement. Weird.

I wanted to delete them because they were clearly confused -- in the NVR, not the client apps. They were appearing in the web interface wrong, and in the android app too even after deleting everything and re-adding. Going down to the basement with a monitor, unplugging everything, deleting everything from the config there, and then plugging back in in the desired order worked. I don't expect to need to do that often, but it was kind of strange.

@mattdm_579588790694198 You can re-order them to whatever order you want them on Android without deleting anything.

It's not an issue of order. One camera was literally showing up twice, once on channel 2 and once on channel 4. I could reorder those channels, but there would still be two of them.

I know this sounds weird, but that was the behavior. Plugging in a monitor and deleting them all and putting them back has resolved the problem.
