tom i just do not know how to make you understand. i have a zmodo dvr all analog cameras i see them on my app and my pc i have that test dvr with the same kind of cams i took off the zmodo dvr bnc connectors and that is a dvr type dvr connection both dvrs have the same connections. this nvr we are talking has one cat5 plug in. that is a lan connection. i is plugged into my network. and when i did an automatic setup it connected to the test dvr. i do not know how else to explain it to you at this moment i have a ip cam that is either wifi or lan connection. if you want it to connect to your network you plug it into the lan port and then search for it. that camera i reset so it is no now connected to the wifi. when i plug i into my network i see it on that camera app and i can set up tinycam and ip cam apps to see it. i did what you told me the pictures show that. i took that damn camera and plugged it into this nvr and i get nothing. i have reset this nvr unit now about 100 times and then went back thru the setups both with the wizard and manually. i sent pictures to prove it. Listen I think we have come to a end .....if you believe analog camera are viewed over your lan network..... your wrong ...... the one camera showing from your dvr on the nvr is seeing the dvr as a camera ......but it will only ever allow you to see 1 camera that camera i sent a picture of is a ip digital camera and it was on my network i was showing you that my network will show it. also i sent a picture of the camera on the nvr and it was not showing so the nvr is not working with it. i can't connect the analog cameras to this wrong connections. you are not understanding what i even send you in pictures. the ip cameras you are using are not onvif comparable .....in fact they work more as a webcam than a ip camera. 2 of them are onvif period and i see them on the apps they are digital onvif cameras the one in the picture say in the book it came with onvif You would be better buying a 4mp ip camera and just use the nvr .....then you will see how easy it is so the onvif i have connected to it as you require and i sent proof to you your now telling me is not a onvif camera and it says it is on the box. i agree that you have come to the end of you knowledge on this so let agree to disagree. you call it what you want even though in all your suggestions that i did are not working and all you have left is to say the very thing i do that is not working is not correct. and i sent proof. so please just stop trying to help me someone else will chime in with different ideas. thanks for the help let's just end this one here. thanks

tom here are pictures of this connected to another network switch the nvr is connected to the switch the ip cam is connected to the same switch and the switch is connected to the network lan switch. si this is a switch to a switch and the phone can see the ip cam this way on my network but not on the nvr. so what else this completes all the testing you asked me to do so the nvr still says offline even though i can see the ip cam on my phone thru the network not wifi the wfi is turned off on this ip cam all the nvr settings are still the same. this unit is suppose to see digital ip cameras and also analog cam that are on my network. like i said i watched a bunch of youtubes and they all showed how to set these up about the same way. again thanks

tom her are pictures to prove i did what your saying 1st picture nvr connected automatically to the test dvr analog cameras on this dvr 2nd is one ip cam just like the ones i'm trying to connect up to this nvr 3rd is the same ip cam connected to my network lan with a picture on the phone 4th show i'm trying now to connect it by searching for it on my network 5th is showing my holding it at the tv so you get the idea i'm not just flapping my gums 6th is the ip address of this ip cam 7th is after i manually entered the information into the nvr ip channel page and applied and also a search and nothing show in the upper window like you see in the 1st picture. and the ip cam is plugged onto the nvr and it still will not find it. on this unit in the netserver section i have enabled upnp and it does not allow me to assign any http tcp or mobile ports like the other dvr's i have will allow. i have ftp enabled at port 20 and entered the same information as my dns server and the test failed but i do not have that enable on the other units i tired it both way in all the netserve page setting even ran the test in anonymous mode. rtsp at 554 probing dns to the cloud mobile reported. so what else is there. the i can see all my cameras on my apps and on my pc. so i do not know what i'm not doing that your telling me to do!! what am i missing still? i can fill this with hundreds of pictures but what will it do ihave spent hours running every possible setting on this and i did it also next the the test dvr page for page. want me to send it to you to set up? being you don't think i'm doing it correctly! i mean side by side setting with a known working unit? maybe it needs a reflash? i have no clue. this is why i got a cheaper unit just for this kind of issues. thanks

tom i have some experience setting these up this one is not setting up it makes no difference how many time you try to tell me what you think i'm doing wrong. i said in the other post what i did, because your hung up on the monitor and me sending it back. get past that will you. it will not even see the zmodo dvr i have running now. also on the app it will not see any cameras that the listing said it was supposed to see. it does get on the internet or at least is says it does. it finds by itself one dvr that i use for testing cameras with. i got that dvr setup and the zmodo set up and 2 apps set up to see my cameras so i have some experience here. i ran this nvr in auto mode and it didn't find anything but the test dvr, i also ran it in manual mode and it didn't find anything i enter into it. and still in manual mode it found the test dvr. i turned off all the network settings and then tried them one at a time and nothing i tried every possible setting on the cameras and nothing. also it configures the ip cameras i try to connect to it. i can't have that period. so what your telling me is not good. if you checked out the link the the ebay item you would have seen that it is supposed to see any camera on my network. i asked the seller a number of questions before i got it and she said it would not only see my dvr the zmodo but would see all my ip cameras. i sent her all the camera information i have and she told me it would connect to them. so will you forget about the montiors and the return of this item. the nvr according to just about all the youtubes i watched is hooked up correctly. i even tried as you said to input into my modem the ip address and it didn't even find that but most of the youtube people do not say to input the modem ip address but to input the cameras. i can be at a restaurant and input my cameras into my phone and my phone will find them. also my apps sees them from away as well as at home. so i should be able to enter the camera ip address into the nvr settings and have it find my cameras. but when i do that this nvr changes the cameras settings so my app will not see them. so i change the settings in the app and i still can't see them so i restore the nvr and then reboot the cameras after i re enter the correct info and then i can see them again on the app. so what your telling me is not correct. this is not going to work. like i said in the beginning. now it may be that i have the ports way out in left field and that no nvr will ever be able to see them with anything. and before you tell me you can, the app designer could not find my cameras even when i gave him all the info he asked for. but i figure the nvr could still see them on my side of the internet. thanks.

ok lets start over with this is got side tracked. i have this unit an nvr. i got it to view and record my wifi ip cameras. no cameras connect to this unit directly. this unit only has the port for the network. my cameras are on the network i can type in the camera ip address and port and it comes up on pm pc. i'm again at the restored main page on this nvr at the setup screen. i have 8 ip address slots on this one. when i go to the network test it says it is connected to the network i go to the main menu and the network page i get the ip address and all that stuff for the network. the media port is 34567 the http port is 80 i have forwarded these on my modem. when i test the network it says gateway ok. test network ok. test dns ok. network tested successfully. this is as far as i know how to go. in system config i go to general and i have machine name as local host and dvr no. 0 language video storage logout and startup wizard i check that for now. no rs232 no rs485. channel status unknown for all 8 now.digital channels only lit up for channel 1 and not enabled now ipc failed to get configuration. no alarm set. tha is about all for this it has more but for now they are not going to help me set up and camera. they are just extra types of settings once i have cameras installed. so this is suppose to find cameras on my network. i turned off the dvr that had 3 cams on it because it found that one by itself and i need to be able to get past that. it is not going to be in the system i only want 5 ip hard wired wifi cameras on this unit. those cameras are on my network and like i said i can type in there ip address and ports and i see them even form a restaurant. so it seems if i'm on my side of my network i should be able to type in that ip address on this nvr and find a camera. thanks if you want screen shots of different page on the nvr let me know.

no the picture was a different monitor. lets wind this up. this nvr is not going to work. i'm going to just forget it. so if you want to delete it or close it do whatever i'm not going to waste any more time on it. thanks for the time

ok this is the manual page on this nvr. it will not see my network the xxx.xxx.xxx.42 is my modem and it will not go past it. so i have no idea how to get into my modem. both dvrs do it and my ip cameras do it. i do not have to enter my modem ip to get to them. and i'm on my side of my modem so i do not have to see them for the mall. i tired different ip channels different port my modem has no port and i have no clue how to enable the connection. when i go ito the network page and do a test is says i'm connect to my network.

the monitor said it was a frequency problem so i changed monitors and i can see the nvr we will not worry about sending it back here lets see if i can get 1 zmodo camera to work and then i will get the rest and let's see if i can get 1 ip camera to work then i can get the rest? the nvr came with instruction to get ip cameras to work just like mine but those instruction do not work as it is for an app and the app sees a dvr that has 3 cameras on it for testing. i'm trying to set up an nvr and yes it is seeing the 3 dvr cameras on my network but only 1 dvr it will not see the other dvr and all those cameras are the same cameras. but what i want it to do is see the ip wifi cameras that i have and they are hard wired to my network. and it was advertised to be able to see them and i asked the seller and she said it will but no it is not. i did manual and automatic and all it finds is the dvr with 3 cameras on it and show 1 cam.

ok i t tried to set any camera up manually and it sill not do it. i changed to another monitor and that one works as well so it will work on the vga port so i do not need the hdmi port. i again tried to set one up manually and it will not let me. it will find the downstairs dvr all by itself. but will not find the zmodo dvr that is on the same network and they both are analog camera dvr units running the same cameras. so do you have some more ideas? we will not worry about returning it as i know i can ebay will let me so lets work on maybe getting this to find 1 zmodo camera and one ip wifi camera that is now hard wired to my network. thanks

i changed monitors and it finally did show., using the vga port so for some reason that particular monitor did not like the frequency the nvr was sending out. i looked that up online and found some youtube help. and i did all the things you said and the only cameras that showed up were the 3 cameras on the dvr i have down stairs. and for some reason it changed all the setting to what it wanted on this nvr. i set them up manually and i set them up automatically. both ways this unit changed the ip address if the wifi cameras and the ports. i had to go into the camera settings and reset them back to what i had them set for originally. plus it gave me 8 something i guess those are suppose to be channels for 8 different cameras. so i picked 1 camera that i was looking at with tinycam and also ip cam apps and after i started to set it up on this nvr unit the unit changed the ip address and the port of that ip wifi cameras that i have set to network only. so for some reason it does not like the ip cams i have that were wifi and now i use the cat5 cable to the network. this unit could not find the other dvr i have either. i used all the settings and nothing did show up. and i port forwarded all the port number this unit gave me plus the ones i wanted and nothing worked. the 7 days are for after i get the unit. they will take it back or get neg feedback and low stars. thoes seller do not want this type of feedback. and yes it is a cheap unit but i picked a cheap one just in case this happened and i had to be stuck with it i would not be out a ton of money. if i get it to go then i can get a much better one and know i can make it work. thanks

ok i managed to get the dvr downstairs on this one but when i tried to setup my ip cams this nvr somehow changes the cameras setting and took them off the tiny cam app i was using to monitor the progress of the setup on this nvr unit. now i have no clue why this nvr would change the ip camera setting. i tried 2 ip cameras and both change so i could not see them anymore on tinycam. so i believe there just is not going to bayway to get any dvr nvr or ovr to see the wifi ip cameras and still be able to see them on tinycam. impossible to do. i got this becasue it was a network unit and by connecting it to my network i figured it would see the cameras on my network. but it is impossible to do so don't waste your time. and i'm going to tell the seller i want a refund and send it back. this thing show ip cameras in the add and it came with a book that only showed how to set up ip cameras on the app i got the app to run and the cameras are not there either so it is just a bunch of bs. thanks if anyone got this to run prove it otherwise i say it can't be done.

i have a dvr that i'm trying to get 3 cams to work on the tinycam app. it is an h.264 network dvr the box says model 1:dvr-v1416d i can't find this model in the tinycam camera models. but maybe someone has a way to fool tinycam into showing it. i used the ipcam app on it and it gave me zmodo for the brand and dvr-8104uv mobile port for the model and when i enter that into tinycam it will show the cameras but they drop out in a few seconds. i can only get one to stay on in the app. so what i have to find out is what dvr might work with the tinycam app alex the owner of the app told me yale and hd720 but that does the same thing show only one cam the rest just drop out. i have a zmodo dvr an h.264 with 8 cams on it and tinycam sees them perfect all day long without any issues. they never drop out. i have been looking for another one like this zmodo on ebay but it is an older one and i have yet to find one like it. i'm afraid to just get another zmodo dvr because of the problems i'm having with this h.264 network dvr. spend the money and if it fails to work i'm out the money. i do not need that aggravation unless other here are using one with tinycam without any issues. i guess about any dvr will work for me as long as tinycam will run the cameras all day everyday with no issues. thanks

i have the lite and basic app i guess i can spend the 5.00 to test it but was hoping someone has that app and can tell me so i just don't waste my money. i did send email to robert chou and now i will see if he returns it and says yes or no. he sent me off to a hitmoboby forum but i browsed for a bit and did not see anything saying how many cams per page max. i tried to register and ask but for some reason it did not let me register. thanks for the help i did finally get registered on the hit.mob forum thanks. robert helped me

i did install 3 zmodo apps and they all were the same all they wanted to look at was my funlux camera. so do they have one that works with any other camera yet? thanks

i agree but the problem is i will have 2 dvr units and the zmodo i have runs great on the tinycam app i would like to now have to use 2 different apps if at all possible. the zmodo unit i have does not work on the zmodo apps it must be before the apps and in reading some of the zmodo threads on there site i see they also have tons of issues with there apps. i did use there app on a few zmodo ip cams i had and i did not like that app. thanks i'm hoping someone here has figured out how to get the 16 channel dvr i now have on the table to run in tinycam or maybe tell me if the ipcam app from robert chou will show 16 cameras and i iwll get that ap and figure that one out. thanks for the help.

ok i have a dvr and the only info it has is h.264 on it for any information. in the tiny cam app i use yale for camera brand and hd720 for camera model and doing that with regular plug in cameras i have 3 working. what i need is to get the wifi ip cameras that tiny cam sees to work on this dvr. so i set the cam up for lan connection and then cut a cat5 cable and got the orange/white and orange wires and connected them to the baulin adapter and plugged it into the dvr and i get no video. what is wrong. do i have to tell the dvr it is seeing a lan connected ip camera? is there any instructions from the very beginning to the end for doing this? anyone can you help me out here. thanks

i got this h.264 network dvr and set it up and i figured all was well it had the cameras on the monitor and i was happy, then the other day i wanted to go back and look at something and i found out i had not recordings saved. i set it up to save but then i went to hardware and found the dive shows error. i rebooted it and the drive said good and i have video to see. then a day later i tried again and the same thing error. so can anyone help me figure this out. also it will not let me save a password it says default is NULL but even if i do it wrong and click on go more than once it will go past the log on and to the settings. so can i just put a different operating program on this unit or am i stuck and need to get another one? thanks bp.

ok i took off the cover and i don't actually have a separate board for the power supply. i did manage to make a new account for me but the admin and a second one are still there is it ok to delete these accounts and if i do will i still have total access to all features? when i added my name for the 3rd asccount i checked the top box and then all the boxes below that checked as well, i figured that gave me total control but when i went to do something i have the admin come up and aske for a password. also i just ordered a 1tb surveillance hard drive and i'm hoping it will plug in and the unit will either accept it or ask to format it and then run if not i may be back asking for help with that. and it came with numbers in the WiFi section but it never let me see it on the WiFi i don't even see it in the network. that is not going to be a big issue with me but may be some of the things that are not allowing the hard drives to be accepted? with the 16gb ssd i get 8 hours on 8 camera running 24 hour i guess i can configure them for motion but i did that once and the next power failure it went to default and i just did not feel like re-tuning it. i had plenty of disk space. tell me the usb slot in front of the unit is that for grabbing a section of recording for the cops if i ever needed to do that? if so i will practice doing that. thanks

you say psu which i figure is the power supply unit but that is not a separate board on my dvr and it powers the one hard drive for a short time and the drive is spinning. the other drives spin also but will not initialize so that part then i don't understand. if it has power to spin but not record. on the old drive i hear the heads moving to position but not the new drives to the unit. i have tried the procedure you say to change my pass word but it never lets me change it. and my unit is not on the wyfy. my wyfy does not even see it. but i guess some other wyfy may be able to see it. so i will try once more to change that one. but don't know how to go about changing out the power supply being it is not a separate board.

best i can do is this 16CH Channel CCTV 2CHD1 HDMI Network Realtime Security 3G WIFI video DVR system i found this number on the box there is nothing on the machine. model 1:dvr-v1416d h.264 compression einvov . the seller said a computer hard drive would work but i have discovered the dvr drives are designed for 24-7 run time. computer drives are not made for that abuse i guess. but none of the hard drives will work in the dvr. the drive i had in it did come out of my desktop and the dvr formatted it the first time i booted it up. it would not do that for the other drives but the ssd i put in from a chrome book reformatted first time and is now running in it. it is a 16gb drive and it gives me 6 hours with 8 camera on it. i don't need months of storage so i'm thinking of a 250 gb ssd drive. if there is a way to get the drives i have now running in it i can use them unitl i get a new ssd. thanks.

i have tried 4 different hard drives and none of them would work. so i installed a small 16gb solid state drive and it took off and formatted it and has been working. so it looks like the dvr may be find just the hard drives are not working in the unit. i don't understand why they will not work. in my destop they work fine. i formatted them in the desktop and took them out and installed in the dvr but the dvr did not take them. thanks
