    I think I Bricked it?

    That's an RS-485 adaptor. For the serial console, you'll need a TTL serial adaptor, such as a PL2303TA-based one.

    I think I Bricked it?

    Did you buy a 'USB to TTL serial' adaptor? The 4-pin connector that you tried is most likely the serial UART.

    Hikvision NVR resets IP-camera login credentials

    I'd speculate - without any evidence to back it up - that the Reolink doorbell itself is implicated in changing the password the NVR is configured to use for it. Hikvision have not used admin/12345 for many years, they moved away from default credentials quite a while back. The ONVIF standard...

    How Do I configure Nikvision NVR to add several remote cameras using a POE switch?

    I don't follow why you'd need 2 cables to connect the PoE switch to the other building.

    HIKVISION experience help needed please

    Generally, the 'smart events' would be generated in the cameras, with the events being notified to the NVR to do what it's configured to do with them such as start recording. Using the NVR to create 'smart events' is for when dumb cameras (such as motion detection only) are connected. That's...

    How Do I configure Nikvision NVR to add several remote cameras using a POE switch?

    As you've discovered, a Hikvision NVR with PoE ports will only see one camera per PoE channel, even if multiple cameras cameras are on a PoE switch that is connected to one of the NVR PoE ports. The switch with the multiple cameras connected should be connected to the same LAN that the NVR LAN...
