Perhaps there is a newer firmware available for the NVR to cope with this issue? Either way, if it worked before you upgraded the firmware on the camera, are you able to roll-back to a previous known-working version?

Is the video just blue or is there a blue hue to the monitor?

Unfortunately GV-NVR and GV-VMS licenses are two spearate products and cannot be converted to use with either or. That's odd because when I requested a feature enhancement for GV-NVR, I was told that GV-NVR was at end of life and no future enhancements were coming and everyone on GV-NVR will eventually have to upgrade to GV-VMS. So, GV-VMS is the upgrade to GV-NVR but there is no pricing available for how much the upgrade costs to go from NVR to VMS? Can you elaborate? I tried to find a link for pricing but even Geo support did not know where one was. I wish they would send something out or post a link. I found all the links for how to upgrade GV-NVR to VMS, but nothing on how much that will cost. thanks VMS is free up to 32 channels of GeoVision Cameras with an option to increase the free license to VMS Pro for 64 channels of Geo. If you're using 3rd Party cameras, you'll need a license for each camera as well as a VMS license if you wish to go over 64 channels. GV-VMS001 1ch 3rd Party MSRP $ 170.00 GV-VMS002 2ch 3rd Party MSRP $ 280.00 GV-VMS004 4ch 3rd Party MSRP $ 470.00 GV-VMS006 6ch 3rd Party MSRP $ 700.00 GV-VMS016 16ch 3rd Party MSRP $ 1,688 To get to the max of 32 ch on VMS Free you can use up to a max of 4 license keys or dongles. i.e 8+8+8+8=32, 28+4=32

According to the attached T13.org document it seems that the command set is as old as 2004. I'm not 100% when this was ratified, however, this does give you an idea of how old this actually is. If you really want to know if that mobo supports it, I'd suggest checking the host controller to see what ATA spec it adheres too. http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2007/D1532v1r4b-AT_Attachment_with_Packet_Interface_-_7_Volume_1.pdf

Perhaps a firmware update or factory reset may solve this issue.

Are you willing to run cable for this system?

Just checking if you determined which host controllers take advantage of the WD Purple firmware or not? Looking at these drives myself as well as the newer WD Purple NV which came out a couple months ago. I can't find a list of compatible controllers that will utilize the firmware yet. Still looking. After a little research it seems that any controller that supports the ATA Streaming Feature Set, specifically from section 4.23 of the ATA specs : Along with: All WD did was create a clever way to utilize cache along with this feature set and coined the term "Allframe".
