Crazy suggestion. Reset your system and connect cams 1 at a time. Walk through all configuration to make sure it works as you want then move to next cam. It's tough to troubleshoot when A might be causing problems with B. Easiest way to trace problem.

Just a penny thought, many routers will reserve LAN IP if you set a device as static. I do it with my Motorola router all the time. Very easy for home configuration. Set my NVR static and on the dhcp list in the router shows as reserved with no further headaches.

I already have a system that works great and this came up at auction. A toy more or less. The tops for signal is less than 20' and would be sub from my router. It's fun learning. I know that wireless drops a lot even at short distance. Just curious about software to access.

Is there a way to remote view/an application REVO units or just the cloud thing they have? Since it has an hdd would think so. And not having to use IE. Bidding on an 8 cam wireless.

Also have a chance to get an ADT system new at really dirt cheap. For a hobby it's fun.

Actually with my setup realized I can subnet the whole REV system since it would be area specific. Just need to sort the IP addresses. As for remote access, port assignment is all it takes.

That's cool. I thought so but wasn't sure. Thanks.

I have an 8 channel nvr with 2 spots open. I have a chance to get a REV wireless setup with 8 cameras super cheap. Can I piggy back the nvr on the REV nvr into an open port on existing system to add 8 cams theoretically ? Just playing, but the REV system is less than $100. Down side, the REV...

Lot of work over time, but must thank all as I cruise through posts and learn more.

Finally got everything going for our needs. Very impressed for short range on the cams. Still have one to re position trying to help a neighbor. On the relative cheap cams, am amazed with the width of field. Got my whole garden in at 20 ft.

I have a new system in and see the same at night. Unfortunately, don't think there is a way to resolve it. The rain you see is what is close to the camera and is a pita while raining. I have spiders around and even get web flyers on some cams. Maybe a top shield of some type to keep the rain...

That also. Worked in the praries of KS for a couple years and came across that all the time. Slight not feeling well, but then all was good.

Schmutz is an expression used in the NY area. It means all messed up. Screwed around in a not pleasant way.

Reality is this. If you got a smallpox vaccine years ago, you are protected somewhat. Now if you live by farms that have cattle as I do, can go get schmutz from a cow with cowpox and be protected. George Washington mandated it during the Revolution and I think it was cowpox he used. And if...

I opted to change location of cameras for now. ROI is close enough for each that it's working good. Down the line will be upgrading 2 locations. One with a 5442 and the other with a PTZ that can track automatically. I know, big $$$ for that one, but it's for front street.
