Just plug it into the LAN port. The only thing that should go into the POE ports are cameras. The NVR has a DHCP server specifically to assign an internal IP address to the POE ports.

Thank you so much for your help!! That did the trick!

I have a few cameras connected to the Hikvision DS7716NI-I4/16P NVR and I wanted to turn the IR lights built into the cameras off. Can this be done somewhere within the NVR? I've looked around and for the life of me I can't find it anywhere! If anyone has any idea please do share! Thanks!

You buy 2 you will get hit with duty fees. Monica and her associates declares the full cost for the cameras so it's better to buy one at a time!

Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone I have 4 - 1k ft rolls of cable. I think that should be enough for 10 cameras.

Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone I wouldn't mind someone doing it for me as well but I spent all the money on the camera system so now I have to do it myself.

Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone That's quite a bit of money but it looks like they did a great job!

Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone What did they have to do? Did they open up the walls to run cables?

I've ordered a total of 5 cameras from 2 shipments and both times I had valid DHL tracking numbers from Monica.

I have no clue! This is my first NVR and set of security cameras. So sorry I can't give you a comparison.

Ouch!! Man I hate being an early adopter.

I bought 5 of these cameras. It seems that every time I buy something like a few days later the prices go down or a new replacement model take its place. That's the story of my life! Off topic, but has Monoprice ever offered cat5e or 6 bulk cables during black friday?

Here is a link to both the one without POE ports and with POE ports. Also if you're going to get this, use the aliexpress app which makes the NVR a bit cheaper! I wish I had waited for the lower price which is about $40 less than what I paid...

Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone I'm thinking you should invest in some flexible conduits so if you need to change the cable later, you can just use a fish tape to pull the wire(s).
