    New to NVR request direction

    I can only answer your questions with generalities because almost everything will be relative to your specific situation. Could you buy a non-POE NVR and a POE switch? Absolutely, however, your happiness will depend heavily on the quality of NVR, POE switch, cables, and quality of cable...

    New to NVR request direction

    I realized as soon as I clicked post that I didn't like my use of the term repeater. It is not repeating anything, but it is a good way to supply power on an extended camera run.

    New to NVR request direction

    The only times you would need a POE switch if the NVR has POE built in is: 1 - If the distance of your cable run exceeds the maximum distance POE would travel from your NVR, you would need to use a POE switch as a repeater to power your camera 2 - Redundancy in case the POE in the NVR port goes bad

    How to Add SWNHD-887MSFB Camera to Swann NVR-8580?

    One thing that I forgot in my last response is to make sure that if you connect your computer to the back of your NVR to connect to the camera(s) make sure you only have one of the x.x.x.153 cameras connected;)

    How to Add SWNHD-887MSFB Camera to Swann NVR-8580?

    From the information you have provided, it seems that DHCP is likely to have been disabled on any or all of the 3 devices (either of the x.x.x.153 cameras and/or the NVR) which is why I chose to explain the method of setting a static ip that I did. Using the method described in my original...

    How to Add SWNHD-887MSFB Camera to Swann NVR-8580?

    To answer the question of "is this normal?", the short answer is for ip cameras = yes. All ip cams will come with a default ip assigned. This means that every new ip camera from the same manufacturer will/should have the same ip and create the conflict you are experiencing. That being said...

    How to Add SWNHD-887MSFB Camera to Swann NVR-8580?

    Try powering the camera from a wall socket, then connect the camera ethernet port to a computer. Wait for the camera to start up (you will likely hear it click as it goes through the boot sequence). Open internet explorer, then type the ip address of the camera in the url. This will bring you...

    First Set up/activation questions

    I would suggest not connecting any cameras though until you complete the setup of the NVR

    First Set up/activation questions

    Hikvision has a very good setup wizard. I suggest just starting up the NVR and following the instructions. It will go through all of your networking/recording/etc. settings and will probably answer any questions you may have right now (including remote access). If you go through the setup...

    Piggie back?

    How do you want to view the feeds? Since you are already using an NVR, you can easily have multiple NVR's feeding to the same monitor through the use of a KVM switch.

    Trendnet TV-IP672PI Stream Type Not Supported with Hikvision NVR?

    The camera in the link you provided was discontinued by TrendNet on 9/8/2015. It is possible that the protocols on an NVR you just purchased (new?) are no longer compatible. I think you may be on the right track on either accepting the frequent connection drops or upgrading the camera.

    Warehouse Racking Coverage

    I will tell you what I use, however, you will likely need to experiment to get your system to fit your application. The Amcrest in the photo is #IP5M-T1179EW-28MM. Its a nice camera, but the audio can be a bit sketchy in a warehouse (pallets banging, etc). I also use a lot of SV3C #...

    Warehouse Racking Coverage

    Another suggestion is if the ceiling I beams are so thick you need to tap the holes but the cross beams are so thin that you can't thread them to mount your cameras, a couple of years ago I started doing this because I got sick of drilling holes in the ceiling when the company decides to...

    Warehouse Racking Coverage

    I work in a very similar scenario with some of my locations having single items picked from the locations, not just entire skids of product. The general approach for random product is a setup like this: The racking aisle in this picture is 300' long with a 10' wide aisle and I can see people...

    DVR/NVR with multiple single camera/monitor output

    Its probably a simultaneous HDMI/VGA output feature enabled, but without seeing the setup its difficult to tell.
