These are wireless. The NVR has a 10 camera capacity. I have 9. The green light begins sloooowly blinking a few seconds after being plugged in and then just continues. Fade off... one one thousand (or so)... fade back on, one one thousand, and so on.
I bought the original 8 camera setup and then bought a ninth camera which took 5 minutes to get working with the other 8.
Stupidly I didn't notice that the ninth add on one was not IP67 rated and it died from water ingress. I ordered this one which is identical to the other 8 and it just will not be detected by the NVR. I wonder if the old dead one's configuration is stuck in there, but there's no way to delete the channel that I can find and neither is there any way to reset the unit to outta the box. Only a soft refresh that leaves everything except minor customizations intact.
I even opened it up and removed the coin battery for a minute. Also, since it is a 10 camera NVR, you'd think that it would just add the new one on the remaining unused Chanel anyway.
I don't know. It could be just bad from the factory I suppose, but I think the blinking green light is telling me something. Like waiting to be added or something like that.
This is killin me. We live in a bad area and I really need that camera.
Thanks again.
