Got it installed today, after so many trouble with the NVR. So far I can't get Email to work with my Gmail account,
Great suggestion!You can also enable two-factor authentication on your gmail account and then CREATE application passwords (I believe this is ONLY an option after you enable two-factor), and those passwords BYPASS your regular password and two-factor.
Exactly. I think I need to read how to reset the password and ip.Everything pretty much goes through the NVR, so really re-read the manual. As for myself, I plug it straight to my PoE Cisco switch to test if PoE works on my switch, then I use SADP tool from HIKVISION to look up the camera and manage it Tools - Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co. Ltd. . I did plugs all my cameras let it run for a day and play around with it first before actually pulling wires and install them if I end up with a bad unit it will be a PITA to pull the system out and exchange. I'm pretty sure I didn't plug all the camera back in the same port. I do see the NVR reserves the IP when the camera gets plug into the NVR.
I pick these up at HF for $10, makes installation a breeze! I re-ran my three other Foscam too.

I use 1" drill bit, I did a drone video of my camera install around my house and maybe a review of the setup later on.
I might need to runs new Cat6 solid copper wire for my 2MP cams, both of it seems to have some interference and shorten all the wire and use that twist on the weatherproof seal that it came with.
..
How would I add a mic/audio to one or two of the cameras? Would I need this, or how would it work?
