Hello All, I have been trying to solve this issue on and off for months now, and it is driving me nuts. I have a IP camera system and wanted to integrate older analog cameras into Blue Iris. I bought the gvx3504 to encode the 4 analog cameras. The analog cameras are these: http://www.ezwatch.com/ez-thd3-hd-sdi-bullet-camera-1.html I get the feed when connecting them to the DVR that came with the cameras, however when I plug them into the gvx3504 I get no Video-In LEDs, and cannot see the feed. I was assured by Grandstream support that the video in LED's should illuminate regardless of any network settings. I bought another GVX3504 to see if the unit I had was dysfunctional, but the same problem occurred. The resolution (1080p) is supported by the gvx3504. They are now telling me that the camera may simply be incompatible with the gvx3504. How is this possible? Is it not a standard analog signal? If anyone could offer some advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any help.

Those cameras will not work with the gvx..the gvx supports analog cameras but will not support SDI cameras... You can try using the dvr with blue iris instead. I hope you didnt pay 359 for those cameras...it would have been cheaper to pay someone to run ethernet and use a true ip camera.. I installed 4 hikvision cameras. This ez watch company is such a rip off (I did not buy these). It's disheartening to see how they can be in business at all. Thank you so much for your help.
