    NVR Hanging during boot up

    My router is from TalkTalk in the UK. My laptop and mobile phone are connected to the router, as is the NVR. The iVMS-4500 app can see the cameras because I only had to scan a QR code from the NVR for it to connect. This is the same from the PC. BUT, I have not managed to view the cameras from...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    I am not sure either but they are about 4 or 5 years old now and I am not sure what standard they are. With regard to the POE Injector, I bought the following one and used a 12V adapter to connect to it...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    I got a POE injector and plugged it into the adapter and into the first POE port on the PDVR and nothing... the LEDs on the port do not come on. I then plugged it into the router (say LAN4 on the router) and when I logged into the router, LAN4 was listed as disconnected. I even tried plugging it...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    OK guys... One last thing before I give up. The WAPA guy cannot get the POE ports working. When I plug in the ethernet cables, the LEDs do not switch on which means no power through POE hence no cameras detected. Can I buy a POE Switch and use that with the PDVR LAN port to detect the cameras...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    OK... that has settled it... Do you think I can use the existing cameras? They are WAPA IP POE 1080p Cameras. If so, would it be better to got a an NVR and a seperate POE Switch or should I go for an NVR with POE built-in? Suggestions for models would be useful... I have only looked at the...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    Latest Update I installed a new image on the PDVR and found that the cameras are not detected (as before) BUT now, none of the LEDs on the POE ports are flashing.... Does this mean the motherboard is now dead? If so, it's time to bury this and buy a new kit :miserable:

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    The image installed on the PDVR is Linux based. The bootable USB drive used to bootup the PDVR the first time is not readbable in Windows. As mentioned, the cameras are not detected by the PDVR so the the supplier also gave me a copy of the windows based software (which installs WinCap) for the...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    Hi Corey Actually we tried a few different versions of the software and gradually worked our way back from newer versions to the older versions. The one which is running now looks like the original version I had with the only problem being that it cannot detect any of the IP POE Cameras. When...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    Latest Update: I have spent the past few days in email communication with the WAPA PDVR guys and eventually managed to get to someone who was technical. He gave me an image of the software that I need to install on the PDVR. After going back and forth many times, I managed to get to create a...

    Latest update... I managed to get Windows XP installed onto the WD Purple and then installed this into the PDVR. It starts up fine and the Windows XP logo flashes on screen for a fraction of a second but then it restarts immediately. Next time it says that Windows did not start successfully...

    Does anyone have a Windows ISO image I could use? I wanted to create a bootable USB disk and then change the boot sequence to boot off the USB disk and see if that revives the PDVR. Thanks :)
