Just plug it into the LAN port. The only thing that should go into the POE ports are cameras. The NVR has a DHCP server specifically to assign an internal IP address to the POE ports.
I have a few cameras connected to the Hikvision DS7716NI-I4/16P NVR and I wanted to turn the IR lights built into the cameras off. Can this be done somewhere within the NVR? I've looked around and for the life of me I can't find it anywhere! If anyone has any idea please do share! Thanks!

I have 4 - 1k ft rolls of cable. I think that should be enough for 10 cameras.

I wouldn't mind someone doing it for me as well but I spent all the money on the camera system so now I have to do it myself.

That's quite a bit of money but it looks like they did a great job!
Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone
What did they have to do? Did they open up the walls to run cables?
I bought 5 of these cameras. It seems that every time I buy something like a few days later the prices go down or a new replacement model take its place. That's the story of my life!
Off topic, but has Monoprice ever offered cat5e or 6 bulk cables during black friday?
Here is a link to both the one without POE ports and with POE ports. Also if you're going to get this, use the aliexpress app which makes the NVR a bit cheaper! I wish I had waited for the lower price which is about $40 less than what I paid...

I'm thinking you should invest in some flexible conduits so if you need to change the cable later, you can just use a fish tape to pull the wire(s).
The empty space is for another 2 hard drives. This thing can take 4 - 6tb hard drives for a total of 24TB!! The light is inside the button. But you do give me an idea that I could do a cut out in the shape of the white dots and just stick over it with electrical tape.
So I just received my Hikvision DS-7716NI-I4 and this thing is a monster in terms of size. When this thing is powered on, the white dots are super bright. Does anyone know how to turn the lights off?
Ordered 2 and then decided to get 3 more. Maybe it's a bad idea to do that because of the import duties and DHL making extra money because they paid my duties tax. It was like $27 and change for the first 2 cameras. I have not received the bill for the 3 cameras but I'm not looking forward to it.
There is no fan in there. You may ask how I know? There was a piece of dust on the sensor and Monica told me to take it apart and wipe it with a piece of cloth. So lets put this debate to rest.
Thanks for the info. I don't think I have all the tools I need to bend aluminum sheets to conform to that shape.
I actually did a search for those and as mentioned in post above those were meant for the bigger cameras. I think this bracket will look out of place with these smaller bullet...
I actually ordered 2 of those PTZ cameras and from the short amount of testing they seemed pretty good. There's a thread here about the camera and people are very positive about it https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/5456-Mini-PTZ-camera-impressions!-2015-PTZ-camera-of-the-year. I...
Ended up purchasing 5 of the PTZ 10x optical zoom bullet cameras from Monica Wen. A Hikvision DS-7716NI-I4/16P, 3 x DS-2CD2742FWD-IS from Joanna. I couldn't find the NVR with any seller except in aliexpress.
