Has anyone had any luck with this lately? Just bought the 4 camera system from Costco plus one Hikvision 2CD2132-I 2.8mm. It appears the NVR is handing out IPs even though I've read it doesn't have a DHCP server, and I can't find a way to disable it. The NVR defaults to 172.168.1.1 and gives Lorex cams 172.168.1.x. However, it gives the Hikvision cam a 169.1.1.x IP address. I've changed the admin password on the Hikvision, can access it from my computer when plugged into the NVR, have DHCP enabled, etc. I've also reconfigured the NVR to start at 169.1.1.1 rather than 172 to get them in the same range. I've also tried disabling DHCP and connecting the NVR switch to my router to use its DHCP. And in all of these cases, I've tried setting the cameras both plug and play and manually (in manual, using both the Lorex and ONIF protocols). Nevertheless, I have never managed to get this cam on the NVR/TV. ANY ideas other than starting over with Blue Iris and a PC or returning the Hik and getting more Lorex domes (they don't have 2.?

Looks like a similar deal came back today (not quite as good) - NVR with 4 bullet cams @ $799. http://www.costco.com/Lorex-8-Channel-Stratus-HD-NVR-Security-System-with-2TB-HDD-and-4-1080p-Cameras.product.100087416.html
