    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    It leaves the last moment of feeds displayed - so, if you don't notice that things aren't moving, or it's night vs day - you don't even know it's logged itself out and is no longer actively streaming the camera feeds. Should I try UPDATE on the Device Info pop-up window - or is it already the...

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    Our Empiretech nvr8ch-8p-2ai NVR continues to time-out, making it nearly useless. Hardware Version: V1.0 System Version: V5.005.00000000.2.R Build Date: 2024-08-30 I can't be constantly logging back in - especially remotely. There must be a solution to this ... @EMPIRETECANDY

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    The NVR is ONVIF-compliant. I have everything checked: RTMP, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, ONVIF - might that cause any problems? It's set to AutoDNS by default. I set it to StaticDNS - same settings as the NVR. Does that sound correct? Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: set to the same as to router - but...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Might I need a different firmware to get my Reolink Doorbell cam to play nicely with the Empiretech NVR8CH-8P-2AI NVR? Mine is a wifi model but I have it wired & am using an external power supply. (I interrupted the POE wires to accomplish that.) The NVR recognizes the doorbell cam but no...

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    That's what I think RustDesk will do - it's like AnyDesk and NoMachine. It's supposed to work on pretty much any OS (I need Android and Linux compatability).

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    I'm, apparently, being unclear. I have no problem at all on my two Linux laptops. I have an Android phone from which I want to access the NVR. From what I've read the provided NVR app may create some security flaws & I don't like apps in general. I get that something like RustDesk is an app...

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    I'm trying to access the NVR GUI from my phone - it's no problem to access from Firefox on a computer. Might I need to use something like AnyDesk - so that my phone browser functions as a terminal?

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    On 2 different laptops, both connnected to HDMI external monitors, it's timing out. Both are using the very common Firefox browser (in Linux). It's a real nuisance. @EMPIRETECANDY

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    Sorry, but another question. According to the setup video, setting "Logout Time" to "0" means that the Empiretech NVR GUI never disconnects - but it times-out just the same. Do I need to change something elsewhere, please?

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    While I fuss with the Reolink cameras I have a different question. When I open the Empiretech GUI using the Vanadium browser on my android (actually GrapheneOS - and alternative OS) on my phone - it pops up a message: "Please click here to download and install the plug-in." Does anyone know...

    Britain is Lost

    No genuine 'conservative' has 'been in charge' of the Executive or the Legislative branch of Britain since Maggie Thatcher. Also, the problem has increased by geometric proportions as the flood of anti-West immigrants has continued. Reality 101.

    Who says that X tracks anyone? Also, if they do, how does that differ from any other social media platform ... including this one? You can't communicate much on the Internet without someone tracking you - X is hardly an outlier.

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    To change a Reolink Doorbell cam to the Empiretech NVR from the old NVR (the old NVR was using DHCP) can I change the Network Setup to Static (from DHCP) and the IP address to 10.1.1.xx then save? Also, do I need to change the DNS to Static DNS from Auto DNS - or leave it on Auto? EDIT: That...

    ONVIF Compatible, POE, 2k or 4k Doorbell?

    I have the Reolink wireless - but I have it wired & powered via an adapter. I need to find my notes to recall how and why ... OK ... I bypassed the PS leads because the actual doorbell side required 24v. Since the NVR autodetects POE and the POE lines are disconnected - it should be OK...

    It seems that some labels may have changed over time "Camera Registration Screen" doesn't show up anywhere in the NVR app and "realtime monitoring status" appears to be unknown to the Search feature of the NVR. Is this the correct screenshot? (I'll be working on the other camera problem...

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    Been there. The new camera, that I just connected, behaves fine there. I'm become suspicious of the cable. I ran some tests a little earlier. I'm going to replace the inside connector as pin 8 hints at intermittent.

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    It doesn't appear to be showing anywere. Not in Remote Device, etc. I did just connect my newest EmpireTech camera and it works (see pic of PoE page). Interestingly, adding the second camera caused the wattage to the first to increase.

    EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI - Setup Questions

    Yup. Unmounted the camera, killed the black & white spider, opened the compartment, then leaned on the microswitch for 30 seconds. Tried 2x, in case I didn't have good contact with the micro-switch. Nada. I noticed that it was in "Not Auto Connected" and deleted it there. Tried again ... Nada...

    OK, well, the password I thought I'd set for admin ... isn't. (I've always accessed via a user account I created.) It timed out after I tried a few.

    I have our EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI setup and and working and it does display already-networked cameras OK. We have a Loryta 4mp Starlight about 80' from the NVR (it was powered via a remote POE then data via a remote router in switch mode). It is just now directly connected via a CAT7 cable -...
