@wtimothyholman thank you! I will. Are HDDs better than SSDs for this? I have an old 2 TB LaCie drive that’s HDD.

Thanks for all for your help here. I went around the house and unmounted all the cameras to bring inside. This will be so much easier to get them all working then mount them back after. Im also trying out SecureSpy because I have an extra Mac laying around I could use. I need to buy a PoE...

Ok, this is very helpful. Thank you all for the help on this! I'll continue to think and dig on the NVR piece, but for now I'm still trying to just the camera to work, haha. I took down one of the Hikvision cameras from outside and brought it in. For the life of me, I can't get it to appear on...

Thank you everyone for the help so far! I will give these solutions a try. Big first question, will the Loryta work ok with the Hikvision NVR? I can confirm the previous owner did have Blue Iris on a PC. @wtimothyholman i had no idea on that IP, very helpful. My network has a different subnet...

I recently bought a house that has 6 IP cameras installed with Ethernet ran into a single location. They are a mix of brands and types of camera. Some a Hikvision and some are Loryta. I bought a Hikvision DS-7608 NVR and hooked them up to it. Of course, the didn't work. 3 had an error about...
