Hi,
I purchased the mentioned NVR from Ebay and it seems like it is well supported. I have a couple issues with the following though and wondering if anyone else has encountered similar. NVR Firmware was shipped with V3.0.13 build 150503, encoding V5.0 build 150413.
1) 3TB Seagate drive, Initialization/format only reaches about 55% then fails. However you can write to the drive.
2) "MiSecu Sony IMX222 1080P POE" from Aliexpress - This seems to work very well on its own, using its own webui.
After fiddling around, I have set the Camera's to the address range of 192.168.254.x and now the the NVR can pick up the camera's with the plug and play "Adding Method" of the NVR's webui. NVR detects the camera's as OVIF with port 8899(strange as the management port should be 8000) - So long as it works.
I don't have any Hikvision camera's to test, but with these thirdparty camera's above - Most functions in the NVR Camera setting seems to error with "The camera does not support the function". If the Camera's were of Hikvision make, would all these options be available??
I can get away with the features by configuration each of the camera's settings manually one at a time on each of the camera's webui - though cumbersome. Other than that, the picture quality seems to be superb. Only purchased 3 of these camera's and was intending to purchase more to complete the set, but might go Hikvision instead if it is well supported.
PS. What is the use of Mainstream and Substreams? Is ALL recording done on Mainstream? and Live view off Substream settings?
Thank you.
