so. I have been looking into this again. It's very important that the product be non-poe. All my cameras are patched into a rack with a gigabit router. I put the NVR in a separate hidden location. I do not want the cameras running directly to the nvr. I had trouble finding a hikvision product without Poe. You all know of any off the top of your head??

Thank you all. I am not sure of the cameras manufacturer. The cameras work fine. I'll look into the ones that you mentioned. Has anyone used an ION NVR?

Hello everyone, I have been driving myself mad trying to keep my eBay special super mini NVR working. I have most of it working but can't seem to make it record reliably. I have read all 70 some odd pages in this forum regarding troubleshooting that troublesome product and I have decided that I am done with it and want to buy a new NVR that actually works. I don't want to spend a lot and don't need a whole lot of features other than it being a standalone device that can record 8 onvif channels. Any advice?

Thank you! That did the trick.

Hello All, I appreciate all the reply on this thread, I would not have been able to get as far as I did without it. I hate to add more to this thread but I have searched most of it and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I can access the video flawlessly when at home. I can login remotely via a browser but I cannot get any live or recorded video to play (same computer, i doubt plugins are the issue.) Below are the ports that I have forwarded and a screenshot of the network configuration. I have seen some post that seem to allude to a remote port 35499 or something. I cannot find that anywhere in V4.0. Additionally I changed my ports around to make it harder to sniff out. Is that my issue? Must I use the default settings? Derek L.
