Yes, I have reset the screen resolution when switching displays. The grid lines up, I can maximize each camera and it will display fine, one at a time. Just in grid layout it will not.
The power supply is external. The box has a small (2"?) fan.

Yes, last week I ordered 4 hik cams, 2 DS-2CD2032F-I and 2 DS-2CD2432F-IW, all "used" but like new in the original boxes with all accessories. They got here yesterday and I have 3 of them working in this NVR. The one that wont connect is due to Chinese firmware so not the NVR's fault.

I quickly got the cams configured via SADP and they showed up in the NVR and all I had to do was click to activate and was good to go.

Now I am learning the fine points of configuring the motion detection and other aspects of running it.

I have to say, these 3MP hik cams ROCK over the junk D-link and foscams I was running.

So if you are wondering if you should buy from this seller and this NVR, I would have to say at this point I can recommend it without reservations.

If you have specific questions or want to see photos let me know.

Thanks
Bob

Thanks Bob. Very helpful. I have a DS-2CD2042WD-I and am looking for a good NVR with POE. I probably only need 8 channels, but 16 would future proof me. Isn't there an NVR that supports 4K and H.265 out there?[h=3][/h]

Hi folks,

Any more updates on this purchase?
I bought one of these after the initial post was made here. Shipping took about a week. I added a 3TB HDD I had in my Eyesurv NVR, formatted and began adding Hik cameras that were automatically located by the NVR on my network. All is well- setup was rather easy. Would buy again...

Comes with software 3.4.0, dang. Im weary of my 2632's not working as theyre chinese running 5.2.5, with original 5.3, which means no region hack?

I read all about these NVR's right now, good price, looks like the seller puts up listings for the DS7616NIE2 starting at $121, 124, then $130, and $150. $150 is good, but 121 is a nice deal.
