I'm considering replacing my old DVR system in the main house with something with cameras that can connect to the NVR over the LAN or wifi so I can add cameras to my new unattached garage. The garage has power and ethernet. It is also well within reach of a powerful wifi access point. Looking on line, I see NVR's with a single ethernet connection and others with a separate connector for each camera. On the garage, I'm thinking 2 PTZ dome cameras on the exterior on opposing corners so I can cover 4 sides of the garage with 2 cameras. Cruise. motion and auto track a must. Inside the garage, 2-3 stationary cameras. On the main house, I will be replacing 6 analog video cameras with network POE and running new ethernet cables to each location. It would be nice if all the cameras could be plugged into a POE compatible switch and one run back to the router. Not sure if what I'm considering is doable. Looking for suggestions.

I only ran 2 ethernet cables to the garage when the trench was open (one for backup). So if a home run to the NVR is needed from each camera, then I would need a separate NVR for the garage. Perhaps my terminology is wrong. I probably should have said "human" detection and not "motion". I was looking at various PTZ's on youtube that showed human detection while in cruise mode. I got the itch for this as the neighbor behind my new garage had a break-in to his work truck two nights ago and about $4,000 in hand tool was stolen. Previously, I was contemplating PTZ's on the outside of the garage but was worried they would think I was spying on them. The cops came to my house yesterday to review the recordings on my DVR but non of my cameras were pointed towards his property. Now, I don't think he would mind.

I have a older DVR (An-Tone 4 ch) that was on my house that was replaced with a 8 ch. I want to put it in my new unattached garage. It's working fine from a local monitor but I can't seem to get a image over the LAN. I have tried a few different viewing software's with the same result. They indicate that they are connected to the DVR but I get no image. I tried the default port of 80 and also tried 8080. I made sure those ports have been forwarded in my router. Also have tried cnanyouseemee.org and those ports are open. Am I doing something stupid wrong???

A thought. Something in Windows 10 blocking the incoming video stream?
