    Ports not lighting up for 2 Hikvision cameras

    Good news! I got one of the two cameras working after inspecting the ends of the cables. There was a small crumb or speck stuck in one of the tiny metal tabs. I scraped it off with a knife, and it's working now. :D One more to go..... I will try hitting the reset button on the remaining...

    Ports not lighting up for 2 Hikvision cameras

    I just plugged the working camera into port #3, and port #3 started blinking. The #3 camera that wasn't functioning did not light up in port #1. Sounds like the POE ports are working correctly, so it must be an issue with the cameras or cables. Is there anything else to try in the settings or...

    Has anyone used a Hikvision NVR and cheap cameras?

    Has anyone used a Hikvision NVR with cheap POE cameras? I ordered a Hikvision NVR with (2) DS-2CD2332-I cameras, and I'd like to add two cheaper cameras (maybe 1 MP, around $40-50) to add some coverage to areas of lesser importance... just because I'll have the POE ports available. Can anyone...
