No video on NVR for new camera just black screen

My Dahua NVR is only showing a black video feed when I add camera to NVR. Is this a common problem you can point me in the right direction? These are new cameras I just ordered from Andy being added to a existing system. Search only yielded one similar problem I could find but no solution was posted. Typically I only use actual branded Dahua cameras instead of the generic unbranded ones and never had this problem in the past. Is there a different process for adding the generic cameras?

NVR: DH-NVR608-64-4KS2
Camera: IPC-5442TM-AS-3.6MM

Doesn't look like you checked the audio/video box with the main stream. You just have the video checked on the sub stream. Maybe?
Or maybe try something other than h.265.
 
I found a YT video that said change Encode Mode to H264 instead of H265 and video now shows. I guess new question is doesn't this NVR support H265?

It likely does but it must match what the cam's webGUI says the cam is set for, which is likely H264.
