Keep in mind you need 1 POE port for each camera, 1 port for the NVR, 1 port for connecting to the rest of the network/internet. So, if you are only going to use 14 POE cameras, yes, you can use a 16 port POE switch. It would be cool to have at least 1Gbps port for the NVR; 100mbps might not be enough in some scenarios. You can also get an NVR with 8 POE ports, and then use an extra 8 port POE switch. For 16ch cameras, I usually use D-Link DES-1210-28P (managed switch, 24 100mbps POE ports 100mbps, 2 1gbps ports that I use for NVR and network). Do not mess "channels" and "ports". An 8 channel NVR will only allow you to use 8 cameras, no matter hoe many network ports you have.

My advice; forget about NVRs with integrated POE ports, and get a POE switch. Or just use the integrated POE ports, and any more cameras you will need an extra switch (I do not like POE switches integrated inside the NVR). Can't help you with a browser under OS X, but you could use iVMS-4200 for OS X. I think you can do everything, or almost everything from there.

If you have not done so, try the latest firmware, 3.0.1 if I remember right. I have used RTSP with this model, but not for a long time, I have never tried for more than a few minutes.

My bad. I pointed you to encoders, instead of decoders...! Decoders should be DS-63xx and DS-64xx series. I think DS-6304DI would be the cheaper option. http://www.hikvision.com/Es/products.asp?cid=41 http://www.hikvision.com/Es/products.asp?cid=283 (the links point to the spanish web site, on the english web site the category says it is under construction)

You won't find NVRs with a BNC output; I have not seen any. You might find one with a BNC output...? Maybe, but surely not with 4 BNC outputs. Oh wait, you don't want an NVR, you want hybrid (3 IP camera, 1ch analog). With Hikvision you could use an hybrid like DS-7604HI-ST, and then a decoder to output 4 streams on 4 BNC outputs, like DS-6704HWI.

Vas a tener que da rmas informacion, pero a saber si podre ayudarte... Se trata de camaras IP? Lo pregunto porque veo ahi en medio una fisheye de 360º. Si es asi, tiene toda la pinta de tratarse de falta de recursos, sea de red, de procesador, etc. Edito: Ah coño, si son analogicas. Pues simplemente verifica las camaras que te den problemas, que la alimentacion llegue bien, que la señal de video llegue bien a la matriz, etc...

I think it should work without a problem.

I only have Android, and in both gDMSS (Nexus 4) and gDMSS HD (Nexus 10) I do get to see all events always. I do not need to have the app open. If the app is closed, I will get the push notification. When I open the app, on the event list I will see all events in there. I think it should be the same on iOS.

I don't see why connecting the cube camera on the PORT port or the NVR, or the IP changing, would make it lose the configuration. Make sure it is on DHCP; on your network it should get an IP assigned by your router, on the NVR it should get an IP assigned by the POE switch. But once configured, I think the configuration should stay.

On the second screenshot. Period -> setup -> make sure it is configured 7 days a week, from 0 to 24h. You have "record channel" ticked. Just on the right you have "Setup", go in there, and make sure it is configured that motion on channel 6 actually triggers recording on channel 6. For tests, mark the check on "Buzzer" on the bottom, so the DVR will "beep" when there is motion on the channel, and you will know it is detecting motion ok.

Never used wowza, but why not just start the free trial to see how it works? I think it should work with most known IP cameras, and you should have no problem to get it working with any camera that at least supports RTSP.

So, you want an analog camera, with wide angle, that can see license plates at 20-30m... sure, good luck on your search.

LOL, you already got a reply, but when I checked the link the first thing I thought was "wtf has he purchased!?" Buy a real POE injector, or a small POE switch.

Not gonna happen. If you want a wide angle, you are not going to see a license plate at 30m. I am sure you will soon be recommended the Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I.

You could also do that on the other end. The balun hub (I do not even know if its called like that) just makes connections easier, and you end up having a smaller cable mess.

The green connector is DC12V, it should have +/- marks. The other two wires must be AC24V. The cable with the video connector; that is for when you are mounting the camera in place, it will have a video connector inside. That way you can connect a small screen to it to adjust the camera positioning, OSD Menus, etc. Edit: No, wait... I guess you had not bothered looking at the manual, neither did I. the green connector is for both DC12V and AC24V. The orange/white wires are for RS485, for controlling the OSD menus remotely.

Yes, you can do it. But no, that is not how POE works.

Check those cameras network config, make sure they have working DNS.

I've been trying push notifications for a while. Now I do get them within seconds. Sometimes when I view the notification I am able to watch the recorded event; most of the times I am unable to do so. It does bother me, but hopefully push will end up working some day...

Us the 3 remaining pairs for power...! Of course that might be the problem. It doesn't even look like the camera is turning on the IR leds. Walk up to the camera at night, you might see that the leds do not even turn on.

Of course it does work! Something like this (8ch on the example, you also have 4ch models).

Will check it out, thanks! I am interested on having something simple to keep all my DVRs, NVRs and IPCs located, and know when there is downtimes with any of them. Edit: Meh, not what I was looking for... NOTE: Nagios Core Student and Professional editions are available exclusively as pre-configured CentOS 6 (32 and 64-bit) virtual machines. Optional email and phone support plans are available for all editions.

Just tried it again. Like with the previous tests, it took forever for the push notifications to arrive; about 75 minutes. So the notifications are quite worthless (I do get them in seconds with gDMSS Plus and Dahua devices). The recordings were right now, and it did show me the events I had triggered. No more watching videos from a month ago... Quite strange, I'd say I haven't changed anything.

Well, it is not required. But for all I care, if you do not even bother trying, I surely won't bother either wasting my time, since I am not the one interested. Good luck, I am out of here.

The software is in english. The guide I linked you to is in spanish
