PC power supplies don't have the 48-52 vdc POE voltage so a pc power supply would never work.

Yes I have. Fan does not turn on and 0VDC at both connectors both 12V & 52V are both showing 0. And yes, I am using a different power cord and right now the NVR is in my kitchen and for the past 18 months, it had been in my basement. So different 120V power source and different power cord. Still...

Well, it had worked VERY WELL over the past 24 months but last night was the coldest night of the year and I figure that all my outdoor POE dome PTZ cameras that have internal heaters probably had their heaters running full blast all night long causing the internal power supply in my NVR to...

You are both a gentleman and a scholar. With my limited experience, you are completely correct. When viewed from the NVR, all my IP cameras are 10.?.?.? when looking at their new IP DHCP address from the NVR!!

Chicken or egg?? Is the camera the chicken or the egg? In other words, I was successful when I reversed the order. but regardless, passwords and user name must match or the camera will not stream data to the NVR?? is that correct? When I buy a Lorex, Q-see, Amcrest or Dahua camera, is it...

When a IP camera is initially 'added' to a POE based NVR, such as my 16 channel LOREX, is the user name and password of the camera 'polled' by the NVR before the camera is added to the NVR? Reason I am asking is I have been having an issue adding a generic IP based ONVIF camera. I became...

It's also not possible to get into the settings through the Rj45/cell phone interface.

I have tried a VGA get get an error message from the monitor that this resolution isn't supported. I did open the unit and looked for a push button switch to reset to initial factory settings. No luck there either. I will take it home tonight and set it to 1080P and then bring it back. Thanks...

I moved (temporarily my Q-see QCK-81 NVR from a location that had a 4K monitor on HDMI. Everything worked fine when it was hooked up to a 4K monitor. When I moved to a new location, the monitor that I have now is a 1080P. Since I forgot to set the resolution back to 1080 before I moved it, I can...

The video output from my 16 channel LOREX NVR outputs a 4k HDMI signal that I feed into a 1 in 2 out 4K splitter. One output out of the splitter feeds a dedicated 50" monitor in my main living room. This 50" TV constantly is used 100% off to view the output of the NVR. The other HDMI 4K output...

I too have wondered if a SSD would be a good choice to upgrade a NVR. When I bought my 16 channel Lorex NVR, it came with a 3tb drive. Before I implemented the NVR, I replaced the drive with a 6tb drive of the same specification. It took me all of 10 minutes. At the time (4 months ago) a 6TB...

Can someone send me a link to purchase a pair of these ASUS routers? Amazon?? or EBAY?? --Greg--

Unfortunately, I'm more confused than ever. I have very fast cable modem (1GBPS) that outputs one port to my 24 port unmanaged switch at my home where my NVR is. Now do I need to get a new router? How exactly do I hook it up? Apparently I need to purchase two VPN capable routers? One for home...

Not sure I understand your question. I did not purchase a separate ip address for any of my cameras. And I haven't purchased the camera that I plan to use. Probably a Lorex 4mp ptz come type outdoor camera. If I decide to go the VPN route, I need specific help on how to do that. I unfortunately...

OK, at my home (where the HVR is), I have a gigabit download speed and 50Meg upload speed or often better. This is NOT fiber but cable modem. I expect to have the same at the remote site. It IS fiber based. Should be even better. Comcast internet at both locations. --Greg--
