Hi, hoping someone can help.
I have 4 IP cameras plugged directly into my 8 channel nvr and are working.
I then have another 4 channel NVR in the same property which has one camera plugged into it and that’s working fine.
I want to view 3 of the cameras plugged into the 8 channel on the 4 channel.
Does anyone know how I go about setting this up?

If continuous recording works OK for you, one method is to use the remote NVR's RTSP streams to gain access to the other NVR-PoE-port-connected cameras.

To do this - in the NVR web GUI, Camera Management page, create a Custom protocol using -
Target IP address is the remote NVR
port 554
with Stream Path for channel 2 mainstream for example
/Streaming/Channels/201
Select the channel you want the camera to appear on, and use Modify to change the mode to Manual from Plug&Play.
Choose the Custom protocol that you created, set the password as needed.

To gain direct access to the cameras connnected to the remote NVR PoE ports, you'd need to have Virtual Host enabled, and would need a static route enabled on the LAN router to tell the other NVR how to access the remote NVR PoE ports.
