is there an easy way to switch the upper left and upper right? I know changing ports won’t do anything.

Crisis Averted. I took the 2 problem cams down to hook up via short cord. Just thought I would try them again. Man, like I said in an earlier post these rj45 connections are extremely unreliable and not very secure. Combine that with the new camera boxes I just got which are smaller and...

So you proved that my hardware should play nice. At my last house I had 11 cameras on that NVR. I often switched or upgraded cameras. They were always plug and play. I’ve never had issues like this. Frustrated and thank you.

I have a lot going on with life and work so I am chipping away at this when time allows. My next step will be to take the 2 non working cameras down. I will hook them up alone like you guys suggest with a 4’ pre made and tested cable. Then report back. As I said, I do test my cables...

I am working afternoons next week so it wouldn’t work but no way I would take you up on that if you didn’t let me sent you some $.

Firmware is 2017-06-12 Version 3.203.0000.0.R I have a feeling I need to go out and buy a new NVR.

5442 upper right. Old and cheap 2mp camera lower left.

Found reset button on 5231. No hatch but took 3 screws out of open camera. Held in for 30. Tried on 5442 as well. They are not coming up in the nvr. Idk. Back to my original post. I need professional help. I just want this to work.

And I dont think the new one was configured. It never showed up. It wasn’t searchable. But I will hold the button in. L

No big deal. I can reset the one with the hatch. How do I reset the other one?

The 5442 is brand new. The 5231 doesn’t have a hatch.

I had a cheaper 2mp camera that I plugged into port 4 and boom. It’s up. Working. Idk.

Ok. So it’s been factory reset and all my passwords and stuff set. One of the T5442T’s showed up. I switched the setting to H.264 and lowered the bit rate. That solved the overdecode ability issue. The other T5442T and the 5231 is not showing at all. Not searchable. I’ve...

It’s the old 4216 without 4K.

Thanks!!! Yes. Hooked all 3 up at the same time. This is what I did in the last. Using a 4K tv as the monitor. Did a factory reset, now I don’t know what is happening because the “hdmi 1” port on my tv is no longer discoverable. I don’t know if the NVR doesn’t put out a video...
