Hi, thanks for your reply. None of the LEDs were switching on Tried different network cables, routers, and network ports - no luck at all. I've also set up the DVR with an IP, subnet and gateway - still no luck. I've send the DVR back to the seller for a replacement.

I've just bought a new DVR - zmodo ZMD-KDA4-NARBZ4ZP. The cameras work fine - at least two of them so far because I haven't tried the other ones. However, the DVR's networking module seems to be broken - the dvr connects to the network at random times and then disconnects once again. I've tried different routers and different cables - the DVR just stops connecting. Not even the network LED indicators light up when a network cable is plugged in. I've set up a static IP as well as DHCP. Both worked fine but at random times - then after a few minutes the DVR disconnects and I just cannot connect it again. The settings on the DVR change to 'Static IP', 0.0.0.0 and I just can't change them! Any changes are discarded even if I hit 'Save and Exit'. Sometimes, at random times - the DVR connects again automatically. I've also tried to restore factory settings - no luck! Still no connection! Apparently after a day or so the DVR never connected again and at this point I really think the network module is broken. It's also worth mentioning that 2 days ago I've factory reset the DVR and it connected fine for just a few hours. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
