You should have checked before buying. I really doubt they advertise it as HD.

An analog DVR (960H) will never be high definition. You have analog cameras, if you want high definition, you will have to change DVR and cameras. That said, with an analog DVR and analog camera, you should be able to read a license plate at 15 feet, with the right camera, the right angle, the right config and installation, etc.

If the system is very old, it might need to be formatted in FAT32, not NTFS. If that is the case, I think the maximum capacity you can have is 2Gb. You could format it at 2Gb, or dine an old FAT32 pendrive, export the files there, and just copy them to the 16Gb pendrive on your computer.

That's the correct place, the yellow connector labeled VIDEO. And then on your TV you have to choose the input AV1. It will work without the white/red cables connected (those are for audio).

1 - It should work if the cable is done properly, and is conencted to the right TV input. 2 - Your DVR does not have wifi, you will need a network cable from the DVR to your network (or an external access point).

And that's how it has to be. You have to download it from the camera.

Next obvious step, install the plugin Downlaod it, close all browsers, install it, and connect to the camera again.

Check the specification s on the camera you are planning to use, it should give you the temperature range it can work at. Like, Hikvision's pinhole camera -> "-30 °C ~ 60 °C"

Cameras do it.

That is what you are looking for, enable virtual host. I think the latest right now is v3.3.1.

It will, but you have to use the RTSP port, not the web port.

The latest firmwares allow you to access the cameras on the POE ports without having to do any hacking.

2 and 3 seem fine. Most DVRs advertised as P2P should work. Not sure about those you say that "claim" to be cloud devices, but I would say you should be fine with any modern Dahua or Hikvision unit.

Open the unit and see for yourself. But I think you should buy a better HD. You are recording 4 channels 24/7, and trying to playback at the same time. Makes sense that a cheap HD might not like that.

What HDD are you using? If you have a slow HDD, that might indeed be the problem since you are trying to record all cameras 24/7.

You need the device connected...

Do you hear audio when you playbak on the camera's web interface? But do not have any audio when you download the recording? It should play fine with VLC if you do have Hikvision's codecs installed. Also, try it with Hikvision's player. Make sure you are actually recording the audio, the fact that you hear live audio does not mean it is being recorded. Also make sure you do have audio enabled on all streams. You have main stream, main stream (event) and substream. And you can have them be just "Video", or "Video+audio".

RTSP port and SDK/data port. By default, 80/554/8000. Only with the web port you won't do anytning with IP Cam Viewer...

Possible? It should be. Worth the effort? Probably not, unless you were looking at installing/selling hundreds or thousands of that unit, in which case you would talk with the manufacturer so they would integrate whatever drivers you wanted on the unit.

Is there a way to do it? Yes. Is it worth it? No. It would be easier, cheaper, and way better to install a DVR in building 1.

Can't help there, I have never used PCNVR.

If you already have the system up and running, why not give it a try? You just need a wire to close the contact on the camera alarm input, and some time on your computer. I know it would be doable without any problems on a Hikvision NVR, and I trhink it should be doable too on a computer (I guess you are running iVMS-4200 PCNVR?)
