Swapping out hard drives
I don’t need the config file from the nvr that had the hard drives in it. I just need to take those two hds and put them in the current nvr I’m using. -

Swapping out hard drives
Not sure I followed that. Do I need to export the config files if they aren’t on the hard drives? -

New Cam on existing cable run
Pretty much the only thing we didn’t try. Will do that next time I mess with them. Thanks -

New Cam on existing cable run
Thanks mat200. Yes, it is extremely frustrating. To think that I may need to pull new cables in the future if I upgrade all the cameras is bothersome. -

New Cam on existing cable run
Thanks for the additional info. We reterminated the old cable a few times. We also tried adding a poe switch in between and then added new camera on old line. No go. We also did consider interference (but didn’t power anything down) since the cable to the driveway camera does run above the fuse... -

Swapping out hard drives
I have two 2tb HD’s in a hikvision 7608 and is like to take them and put them in the current 7608 I’m using which only has one 1 tb drive in it. Physically, it is easy to swap them but I’m wondering what happens to my settings (camera and nvr config) once I do this? My hope is that I can put... -

New Cam on existing cable run
After more troubleshooting today, it must have something to do with the existing cable. Maybe it’s kinked. Maybe it’s cut. I don’t know. We used a box of 200’ cat 6 and terminates each end and the new camera work. I had to stick with the old cams and ran new cable to back of house for the new... -

It would have to be two cables that were damaged since I tried this on two different runs. Cable pic attached. -

I eliminated the patch panel from the equation. Terminated the cat6 plugged it right into the nvr on port 1. The network light on port 1 will not light up with the new camera. I put the old camera back on and the network light lit up and camera came online. When the new cam is connected on... -

Number 6. Looks like B to me. I’ve also connected the new cam to the cable that was connected between the patch panel and the nvr and cam worked. So that eliminates that cable being an issue. That just leaves the blue cat6 connected between the patch panel and the camera outside. About a 15... -

Yes. That's my plan right now, to check the wiring myself. I'll report back. Thanks -

New Cam on existing cable run
I can't seem to find the device he used online but I believe it was more than a simple continuity tester. It seems to have a bunch of readouts and he made it out to be an expensive piece of equipment. The only other thing in between the cams and the nvr is a patch panel. Sounds like the issue... -

New Cam on existing cable run
Thanks for the reply. So the same cable run could work for one camera but not the next? We also tried a second 2335 on a different run by the front door (first one was at the driveway) and had the same issue. Right now the original cams are all back in place and everything working as it did... -

New Cam on existing cable run
I purchased two new ds2335 cams and am trying to swap them out with two existing ds2332 cams. The new 2335 cams work on ports 7 or 8 on back of my 7608 nvr. They work fine connected there with a small cable (5e) directly in the back of the nvr. Also, the new 2335s work when I connect them...
