Username has the answer. If all available screens are used up unplug the last one. Then use the empty space to move a camera out of screen you want to put a camera. It’s drag and drop at this point. Doesn’t matter the order your cameras are connected to the NVR.

I already purchased the Hikvision cameras for this project. We're going to have to install a wifi. The wifi installer also does camera systems and uses Geovision and Axis. He is cool only installing the wifi and letting me install my own cameras. So if I install the Hikvision cameras what...

Im going to need a very user friendly software or program. I'll need to have my key farm people have the app on their phone also.

This is a very low tech system. Basically just notifies you in the event of motion or person recognized. As soon as he walked into the area I was notified on my phone. I called the sheriffs. Our ranch is at the dead end of a five mile road. By the time he saw the headlights it was too late to...

This is a screen shot of the sheriffs searching for the guy.

Don't laugh. It's a Nest outdoor camera driven by a Verizon Jet Pack. It's aimed at our farm tool sheds. We're eight miles from town and are in the process of getting wifi installed so we can have a better setup. Got this guy on a Sunday night before midnight. Sheriffs got there in less than...

We have a farm in a rural area and no internet. We do have power in many locations. Lately there have been a lot of break ins and equipment and tools stolen. I wanted to set up a Wi-Fi router and add some Hikvisions around the premises. I've installed them at my house and vacation home and...

Thanks. You are a great asset for helping me out.

Is there a better cable than that one? In the scheme of things cable is one of the cheaper components in the install. I don't mind spending money on quality cable.

I'm getting ready to wire my house and want to put in a cable that will be upgradeable in the future. What would be the main difference? 350MHz vs 500MHz? And would either be the best to wire up for 2-4-5 mp cameras? Bulk Cat6 23AWG Solid UTP Riser-Rated (CMR) Ethernet Network Cable, 1000ft...

Perfect. Thanks. The WD site was a little vague on the difference. It did say the NV series was designed for NVR's and that's what got me confused.

Yeah he was thinking what the heck is that red light? They'll catch this guy. Too small a town. Plus no one around here wears a hat like he does. Bet he puckered up when he found out there was a camera.
