NVR8-7200 Adding IP Cams to non POE port

[bsheepdog 0]

Hi,

On my street we decided to setup a surveillance system, where we could monitor what is happening outside. (about 1/4 mile)

I have set up a wireless network for the Cams on my street.

2 Geovision and 6 Swann Cams. Only one on the POE port. The rest are all powered externally (not POE).

This setup seems to be stable and acceptable.

 

Now I need to add 1 additional cam. And don't want to spend much more money. Is it possible?

I still have enough bandwidth available (only using 40 MB of the 64 MB available)

The software of the NVR seems to support it but is set to a maximum of 8 Cams.

 

Can it somehow be tweeked? Or hacked?

 

Also, has anyone setup cameras remotely using wireless?

 

Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Sadly, you're likely going to have to buy another unit. That extra bandwidth is for 8 cameras running at 3MP @ highest bitrate. If you could easily flash the 8 channel to a 16 channel, I think everyone would be doing it.

NVR16-7200 = 16 channel.
