Did you disable UPNP on the camera? Just never use UPNP it's insecure and not necessary when you have admin rights on the router.

Are you sure it's mode A ? that's quite unusual, most of the stuff in the market is Mode B (mid span) which technically means the injector is between the switch and the device. Afcourse the switch can support both A and B if it is smart enough, maybe that is where the 802.3f comes in? Right, Mode B is mainly used if you are not powering a device through the switches POE but rather through a Midspan or Injector. The 802.3f is used in an injector. Found this great article: http://www.l-com.com/multimedia/whitepapers/wp_Power-over-Ethernet.pdf So just to sum this up: I can use a mid-span mode B injector, or a mode A switch to power a hikvision camera as long as it is 802.3f ?

The camera's are on different building, the buildings have 10gbit fibre in between.

Hi! Can somebody explain which POE mode they use, Mode-A or Mode-B? They are both supported according to the 802.3af standard. I am going to buy POE injectors for the Hikvision DS-2CD3132-I. Thanks!

Storage is no problem, have several harddisks and such. On another note, what type of POE does Hikvision have? I know it's 802.3af, but do they use Mode-A (endspan) or Mode-B (midspan) ? I cannot find any information about this anywhere.

Hi! I am new to the forum and new to the NVR area. I am looking for a brand spanking new NVR to record from my 4x 1080 full hd hikvision camera's. Want a 8ch one because i may want to expand in the future. There are a lott of them on the market, i looked at the Xvision mini nvr, but i cannot find any pictures on how the web interface looks? I am not going to look at the video from the monitor connected to the NVR, but remotely via Web, what would be my best solution? The NVR will be in an dedicated serverroom. A little under $100 is my price range. Any help is appriciated!
