Import cameras directly or as as sub channels under the NVR?

When I first set up my NVR and Cams, it was a case of plug everything in, check a few UI boxes and hope for the best, I now respect that this definitely isn't the correct approach! On the up-side, the general system does actually work....

However, as expected, some aspects don't. In particular, in GDMSS plus I dont have a menu option to set alerts for IVS eg intrusion, and that got me thinking. I've imported cameras as sub channels, not directly as indivual cameras. So my menu looks like this:

Default Group >
NVR >
Cam 1
Cam 2 and so on

I've looked through the NVR manual, but I cant find any reference to default groups/ sub-groups and dont have enough (any) understanding of the significance.

So my questions are:

1. Have I messed up'?
2. Should I have imported the cams directly or doesnt it matter?
3. If the corect method is import directly (not the way I've done it) can it be changed & how?

Hopefully one day I'll be able to add some value to this forum, until then my friends its a case of asking questions I'm afraid!

Thanks in adavnce.
