Thanks everyone for the good advice. I am going to read the Wiki and everything else and figure out how to get started. I don't want to have to learn networking and would like to keep it as simple as possible. That said, cost is not really a concern, I just want to do it right and keep my...

That is amazing! That will allow me to do this project without running multiple lines from the main building. A single ethernet line to each switch, and then the cameras come off the switch, rather than the cameras each running individually to the main. I wish I knew this a few years ago for sure.

I had stopped short of trying to change the ip and port of the new generic camera to match the previous IP series from the cams that came with the NVR. This morning I logged in to the camera directly with an app that came with the camera and changed the IP and port, and it locked me out of the...

Good afternoon folks! I am hoping this is the right section of the forum. 3 years ago I purchased an Qcam NVR system with 8 ip cameras (huge mistake because they discontinued it shortly after and no longer offer updates). I ran ethernet cables underground and set up the system nicely on my...
