    NVR5208-8P-4KS2E

    That is what I thought. I have the NVR sand boxed on its own VLAN. I can throw in a VM just to configure it. The only other option would be to configure it directly? Thanks for the info, at least now I understand why I was having issues.

    NVR5208-8P-4KS2E

    I purchased this DVR but I am having issues configuring some things. It seems that unless you install browser add-on you are not able to configure the cameras. Does anyone has a fresh link that explains how to configure things?

    Help with Positioning of Cameras

    Yes indeed, as far as the right side of the house, Any suggestions? Should I go to the entrance area and avoid the far right corner of the house? The only issue is that the right corner gives me the best angle to capture license plates.

    Nice pictures, thank you both for sharing. That gives me some ideas and def like how you both crossed the cameras to view from both angles. I like that 12 in angle, I might have to do at least 12 inches to make sure they clear my truck. That would put me around the firs brick above the...

    Help with Positioning of Cameras

    Thanks Area651, I have only installed one so far, so it will be no big deal lowering. I will have to figure out how to search the two little holes in the Brick lol If they are much lower they will be above the driveway lights. Do you think that will be a problem?

    Help with Positioning of Cameras

    I am a little uncertain about how to position my cameras and could use some help. On the first picture I already installed a camera it is almost 9 feet from the ground, is that ok or too high?
