    In case anyone is having the same problem, emailed support, they sent me a link to updated firmware on dropbox. No clue why it isnt on their normal page to just download, but the version they sent was V3.4.93 build 170821 and it fixed the problem.

    First time installer in soffit

    So I feel like some things are starting to come together. I am starting to learn more. It appears people prefer continuous recording with 'marking' of motion events in the timeline. I was trying to set this up with no such luck. Maybe someone can tell me if I am missing a setting for this...

    I might have found part of the problem. Setting the max bitrate to 4096 seemed to help. I think it was like 1700 something. Avg bitrate is now like 2048 I believe. Are there any recommended settings for these things? And thanks for the help. There is a lot of investment getting these things up...

    It just seems like you can see each pixel rendering on screen. Maybe there are some other settings that I have wrong like the fps etc. Let me grab some of those.

    Yeah for whatever reason, when you click that drop down box it doesnt give you any options but manual. I got 4 camera, and i only tried the two, one 4k and one 1080p. Im going to maybe plug in the other ones to see if maybe there is something wrong with these ones, but so far it is weird. It is...

    Thanks for the tips! I don't have any option for Auto under exposure settings. Maybe need a fw update?

    First time installer in soffit

    I didnt have WDR turned on. I basically plugged everything in and left as is. If there are suggestions or comments on what setting to change please let me know. I tried to grab all of them into one single image. I did turn on WDR at the time of capturing all the settings.

    Man I got a camera installed and I still think the picture is terrible during the day. At night it looks ok. I'll try and attach the picture here. I did get into the cameras page directly and the exposure doesn't appear to have solved anything

    First time installer in soffit

    Great thanks! I was able to get 5 lines routed into the garage and into a junction box. All lines in the garage terminate to a female cat6 snap in. The other end are all bundled and strapped to the rafters and ready to be plugged into the nvr once mounted. All I need to do for the first...

    Thanks for the tip. Stupid question, if the nvr is providing the information addresses how do you go about connecting directly to the camera.

    So today was the first time i tried the cameras outside. I mounted to a 2x4 and put in the spot by the front door where i thought i would use the camera. When looking at the results on my tv or phone, the picture seems to be very over exposed? It is almost like giving a 'not real' look. When...

    Remotely arm / disarmed nvr

    Is there an easy way to arm or disarm motion detection or event on your nvr remotely? I have a LV-N9808C8E nvr I am working through setup on.

    First time installer in soffit

    So i guess I am a bit unclear on a few things - what apps or tools can you use to view motion detection clips? Do I just setup and alarm to notify the nvr service and people are using the ivms app? Edit: I was able to get the ivms app to work locally. While I'm not in love with it, it does...

    Yes that is correct. That is not vinyl. I was able to put a small hole in ceiling of the garage to get a picture of the inside of the soffit. So if mounting to the soffit is reasonable, i think i should be able to do so. I already picked up the water proof cases you suggested as well.

    First time installer in soffit

    Here are a few pictures. I am debating on just mounting under the soffits or going directly through the brick to the inside of the garage. The inside of the garage is finished and there is no attic access. If you look closely there are 2 blink xt cameras - one just to the upper right of the...

    First time installer in soffit

    What suggestions or app are people using for remote viewing? I was able to get the motion detection to send me an email, but not sure what good that is if I can't see the actual video from my phone while away. The email did include snapshot images and the camera did trigger much better than the...

    thanks for all the feedback. I will post some pictures of the outside of my house to try and get better feedback on the camera locations. That said, before i put these things up, I have been trying to play around with the NVR to get it setup for mobile and internal web browser use. at the...

    First time installer in soffit

    Thanks for the replies. I should mention that my house does have brick walls so it feels like I should just mount to the underside of the soffit. I'll take a look at the junction box mentioned above. I was initially thinking I would just be able to secure directly to the aluminum. I wasn't too...

    My house has aluminum soffits around the garage where I plan I putting up some cameras. I recently bought this deal (LaView NVR PoE 8-Channel Security System w/ 4x Cameras $280 + Free Shipping) and had a few questions. From what I can tell my soffits are empty. I can get access from the finished...
