Yeah I figured you'd be reading it. Alright, I'm done, I'll figure it out. Thanks again for the vlan tip.

@fenderman You do not know my application, you do not know who I am. You are making assumptions.

@looney2ns @nayr Thank you, I'll look into that camera authentication and see if there is a comparable functionality on my already purchased hikvision cameras. Thanks again.

I'm not worried about hackers coming to my home, I'm worried about any one of the tenants deciding to plug a laptop into one of the many ports in the hallway or on the sides of the building. I would imagine it is just a matter of time until one of their kids decides to mess around. I will look...

@federman Wouldn't having ethernet connections ports/cables on the exterior of your building connected directly to a switch or router be a massive security hole?

Ok. stupid mistake, the stream path was incorrect and setting the 'make' to hikvision set the correct stream path with a var for the camera number setting I highlighted. So now I have all 4 cameras working correctly in Blue Iris. @fenderman Thank you for the help I really appreciate it. What did...

Thank you for the quick reply and helpful tips. Could you take a look at the attached screenshot? I've highlighted what I believe you are talking about, but changing this value still results in the same video feed being displayed?

I'm trialing Blue Iris, and I've got 4 cameras up, but they all show the same video (video from camera 1). Is this a limitation to the trial version or is there some configuration issue? The cameras are all hooked to the back of the nvr, and I have virtual host enabled in the hikvision nvr...

Awesome. You folks have been invaluable. I've got some things to test when I get home, but I'm going to go ahead and call this thread resolved. You folks rock!

@Securame Awesome, thank you. Yes, the HD shows as 'normal' in the panels hd section. If that is a general alarm, then I'd guess it's because I've moved the NVR to my desk for troubleshooting disconnected it from the router.. I can test when I get back home again after work. Last question; If I...

Ok, so in summary of above my question is this: Is the three long, two short beeps (Peeeep peeeep peeeep pip pip) specific to HD error, or is it a general error alarm?

Awesome that was it! Thank you @vincent55, @hiky, @Securame ! I used a hdmi to hdmi and hooked it up to a new, modern monitor and I can see the panel and have walked through the setup wizard! The nvr panel does see the HD at 3.6tb and did allow me to initialize it and it said it did say it...

It is an old computer monitor hooked up via an hdmi to dvi-d cable. I can try a different monitor via hdmi to hdmi cable in 45 min when I go home for lunch. So, @hiky, to be clear you are saying that if I do not have any HD installed in the NVR and I hook it up to a monitor, it should show...

Thank you Vincent55 for the quick reply. I also have a 'HIKVISION DS-7616NI-E2/8P'. I am at work right now and have the HD hooked up to a drive caddy on my windows 7 machine, and in disc management I am seeing the HD, but it is reporting the drive as 1.6tb rather than 4tb.. So, I am thinking...

I've been following this forum for a while, and I finally pulled the trigger on my setup. I picked up a hikvision 7600 series nvr and a 4to western digital purple drive as well as a couple hikvision cameras. The issue I'm having is that on first boot the nvr monitor is blank (no signal...
