Installing 2 Different Netviewer Programs
It turns out that you have 2 different models of DVR, which have different hardware and therefore require the use of 2 different Softwares.
You therefore need to install both software on your computer in order to be able to operate both DVRs with your computer .
That is where it becomes a tad complicated. When you install the softwares, they both come to appear in the program list as Netviewer and installing one of the software after the other make the previously installed software installed disappear from the program list unless you work around it as explained a bit below.

What matters is that you customize the name of the programs during their respective installation:
When installing the Netviewer program for the DVR2550 ( or 2600 ), add _2600 in its name as shown below.
When installing the Netviewer program for the DVR2500, add _2500 in its name as shown below
At the next step, you go in ‘ computer ‘ ( also known as ‘ my computer ‘ ) and you browse for the ‘ program files ‘ folder, which will contain both Netviewer programs
Netviewer_2500 and Netviewer_2600
The last program that you have installed will show up in your actual program list , under the folder Netviewer.
So basically, what you want to do it to copy the netviewer program that isn’t displayed in that folder and paste it into it so that the folder shows up both.
So first thing first, copy the missing program . Then go on your Destop, right click and then select paste shortcut. Then copy the shortcut from the desktop and…
…then open the folder that has the missing program by right clicking on the folder name and then left clicking on open.
Finally, just ‘ paste ‘ what you copied before ( the missing program ) and next time you open the folder, you will have both netviewers in there.
The last thing you might want to do is to rename both Netviewer‘s inside the folder for esthetic and utility purpose.
Then you end up with both programs in your program list :
