So I am very new to IP cameras, but frankly I am not even sure if what I want to do is possible...
I bought a RCA HSDB1 doorbell camera with the understanding this was a rebranded Hikvision. I see plenty of people who got it working with Blue Iris.
To add to my confusion, even after factory reset my Hikvision NVR show 4 cameras as if they are hard set. If I try to use auto-add it tells me I have no channels available. If I try to delete one of the 4 existing ones, it will not let me. Now I have ZERO other cameras connected, the doorbell will be the first one.
Could someone give me some rough instructions on how I can get this done? Or is this NVR basically locked to 4 channels only coming directly into its 4 ethernet ports?
