Good day,
Im pretty new to CCTV universe and im looking for assistance.

I have currently installed 8 cameras with cat5 cable on a dhi-hcvr4108hs-s2 dvr.
So far 6 cameras are showing and i have trouble shot multiple ways why the other to are not.

Is it possible that only 6 cams can only be shown via cat5 cable?

Any suggestions will humble be needed.

Thanks

I'm runnning 12 HDCVI cameras over Cat5 on a beefier 7000 series DVR.

On the 'Lite" series DVR/XVR's there are limitations on incoming bandwidth and FPS. What FPS are you running?

The DVR takes into consideration all streams, so if you are running 25FPS on the main stream and 25 on the MD recording, it looks at that as 50FPS. Add that up over 6 cams and you're at 300FPS which may be over the Max capability of the DVR..

Try lowering the FPS and then the bitrate if necessary
