    In case anyone is having the same problem, emailed support, they sent me a link to updated firmware on dropbox. No clue why it isnt on their normal page to just download, but the version they sent was V3.4.93 build 170821 and it fixed the problem.

    So I feel like some things are starting to come together. I am starting to learn more. It appears people prefer continuous recording with 'marking' of motion events in the timeline. I was trying to set this up with no such luck. Maybe someone can tell me if I am missing a setting for this...

    I might have found part of the problem. Setting the max bitrate to 4096 seemed to help. I think it was like 1700 something. Avg bitrate is now like 2048 I believe. Are there any recommended settings for these things? And thanks for the help. There is a lot of investment getting these things up...

    It just seems like you can see each pixel rendering on screen. Maybe there are some other settings that I have wrong like the fps etc. Let me grab some of those.

    Yeah for whatever reason, when you click that drop down box it doesnt give you any options but manual. I got 4 camera, and i only tried the two, one 4k and one 1080p. Im going to maybe plug in the other ones to see if maybe there is something wrong with these ones, but so far it is weird. It is...

    Thanks for the tips! I don't have any option for Auto under exposure settings. Maybe need a fw update?

    I didnt have WDR turned on. I basically plugged everything in and left as is. If there are suggestions or comments on what setting to change please let me know. I tried to grab all of them into one single image. I did turn on WDR at the time of capturing all the settings.

    Man I got a camera installed and I still think the picture is terrible during the day. At night it looks ok. I'll try and attach the picture here. I did get into the cameras page directly and the exposure doesn't appear to have solved anything

    Great thanks! I was able to get 5 lines routed into the garage and into a junction box. All lines in the garage terminate to a female cat6 snap in. The other end are all bundled and strapped to the rafters and ready to be plugged into the nvr once mounted. All I need to do for the first...

    Thanks for the tip. Stupid question, if the nvr is providing the information addresses how do you go about connecting directly to the camera.

    So today was the first time i tried the cameras outside. I mounted to a 2x4 and put in the spot by the front door where i thought i would use the camera. When looking at the results on my tv or phone, the picture seems to be very over exposed? It is almost like giving a 'not real' look. When...

    Remotely arm / disarmed nvr

    Is there an easy way to arm or disarm motion detection or event on your nvr remotely? I have a LV-N9808C8E nvr I am working through setup on.
