found the camera on 10.1.1.65, logged in, factory reset the !@#$% and now it's at 192.168.1.108, unplugging it and going to do the other cameras and then try your method again, FYI when you plug a camera into the nvr it does not pop up like magic and automatically transfer itself to the bottom row. i can't believe there's not a manual on this nvr or any detailed troubleshooting information. does blue iris have better info? this is unbelievable. maybe now people can understand why i have no hair.

You MUST plug only one camera into the NVR at a time. Once it is moved to the bottom pane, shows a port 1, and the pencil dialog box looks like mine, let me know.

Or you could try BI.

Note Ive done a lot of these and not had anywhere close to this much trouble, It all starts with following the instructions for a non PoE NVR

so i take it as turn on nvr, let it boot up, THEN plug in camera and wait to see if it appears AND moves to the bottom, if not then reboot NVR while leaving the single camera plugged into the back port.

take butter out of fridge, place on counter and leave for 20 mins, then take bread out , apply slightly melted butter to bread, bread will make its way to plate of spaghetti, if it disappears or lands on floor then click link for dog training LOL.

ok , turned on nvr, waited for it to boot, then plugged in a factory default camera. i waited about 2 minutes and didnt see anything so i hit device search, it immediately popped up and the port changed from 80 to 37777. i waited another 5 mins and it never moved to the bottom. so i scrolled to the bottom and clicked refresh and it moved to the bottom and now shows port1. making progress.
