    Cams / NVR Arrived - Have I Made a Mistake :-/

    Yes, I feel sure it's a compatibility issue. It's been glitchy from the get-go, and painful to use some features, like searching & clipping footage etc. I think it stopped working completely around the time our clocks went forward one hour for British Summer Time. I just tried syncing the NVR...

    Cams / NVR Arrived - Have I Made a Mistake :-/

    Well, it's been some months! I had a pressing 'situation' that required me to install cams. The presence of the cams alone appears to have solved that particular situation, at least for now! @Madflamethrower glad the thread was of some use. It's a steep learning curve when you're stuck on the...

    Cams / NVR Arrived - Have I Made a Mistake :-/

    It's late here - but I've managed to install one of the cams! :) There's no way I could have gotten this far without the help of everyone here. Thank you all so much :) I'll try to read as much as I can tomorrow, and attempt to install the other two cams.

    Cams / NVR Arrived - Have I Made a Mistake :-/

    OK - plugged in each camera, one at a time, waited until each cam was registered & showing on Live. All three registered within a few minutes. Labelled each cam to its respective NVR port. I haven't changed any other settings yet. So I guess the next step is to get the cables made up, and carry...

    The DNS settings on the NVR? These are the current settings:

    OK - changed it to a static IP, clicked on 'Test', which was green-lighted, applied & browsed to the new IP with success. The gateway is set to 192.168.0.1. Do I need to change anything else?

    Cams / NVR Arrived - Have I Made a Mistake :-/

    Nothing - then everything all at once!! A few notes: Turns out it's not possible to change my modem / router's default range from 192.168.0.x, it's fixed by the ISP who provide the (crappy) unit. So - following advice here, and elsewhere, I manually changed my MacBook's IP to 192.168.1.200...

    Cams / NVR Arrived - Have I Made a Mistake :-/

    Yes, when attempting to change the 0 to 1 it's rejected. There's no app for the router that I'm aware of, but I'll check. The TV auto-detects resolution AFAIK, it did that on powering up the NVR to show the resolution. And again I'm wondering, why would it have no issue displaying 'NVR' on the...

    Well, this is pretty hopeless then, I'm certainly out of ideas :rolleyes:

    And if the NVR isn't compatible with my TV, that's another downer. Would have been nice to have had that functionality.

    Cams / NVR Arrived - Have I Made a Mistake :-/

    I just logged into my router, and attempted to change the IP Address, which it wouldn't allow me to do. This is all getting beyond me. I wasn't expecting these kind of issues, just to get the NVR set up :-/

    Just removed the other two ethernet cables from my router (printers), plugged into one of those ports. Tried again, nothing. If there was an incompatibility with my TV, would it be displaying 'NVR' for some time after power-up?

    192.168.0.3 Router is 192.168.0.1

    OK - removed HMDI cable, hooked up to my router using the enclosed Ethernet cable. Power up. Green ethernet port LEDs solid both ends, amber activity LEDs flashing. Go to 192.168.1.108, and this is the result using Safari & Firefox. Wait a few minutes, try again, same result.
