GEOvision NVR wont detect IP cameras off of network switch

I think we've been assuming that the 'other location' is still internal to your organisation.
But I'm wondering if it isn't.
Can you clarify?

I was also trying to determine that in my post #15.

Are you aware that the camera you've used for your screenshot is accessible by the entire internet?
This configuration presents a serious risk of the device being compromised and therefore potentially exposing the other devices and their data that is on your organisation's LAN.

Suggestion :
Check for any unintended exposure to the internet by testing with the ShieldsUp! service, use the 'All Ports' scan here :

I need video playback from a separate location. Simple as that. The PC and NVR are less than 50 ft apart. The PC is in a closed office that hosts all the cameras to begin with. I would like to add a separate location so playback can be accessed by the employees at all times. That's where I decided to add the NVR. If you have further questions feel free to ask. I still haven't found a solution

A 2nd NVR is not needed for that and in fact won't do it because it would only playback what is on the HDD of that NVR not another NVR.

As I stated previously, the solution is to simply go to a web browser and type in the IP address of the NVR and the login screen will pop up and you provide them with a username and password and then they are in the system to playback.

Or at less than 50 feet apart, run an HDMI to a monitor with a wireless mouse.

"would only playback what is on the HDD of that NVR not another NVR." This wouldn't be an issue at all. I understand what you're getting it by putting the PCs IP to view system playback but that would make no sense in this situation. I don't have a separate PC. I need a monitor that has a constant live feed and also is able to look back at old footage. Im sorry if this is super confusing. I appreciate all the help. Also sorry if I'm not understanding.

Then at less than 50 feet, run an HDMI from the NVR to a monitor along with a wireless mouse so that they can view livestream and use the mouse for playback.

Or KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) over CAT-5e ("dry" cable, not networked) for up to 325 ft. ==>> HD-Link 1080p HD KVM HDMI, USB, Audio, and IR Extender 100m over Cat5e/Cat6.

VGA versions available as well.
