Please help me pick the best choice:

Okay, I had done the following:

 

Camera - connected via Ethernet Cat5 to the POE Switch

POE Switch: connected via Ethernet Cat5 to the DVR

DVR: connected via VGA to a monitor

 

I turn on the system, but on the monitor nothing shows up. Maybe I am connecting something improperly?

yes, if the NVR does not have poe and you are using a switch you need to enter the ip address of the camera into the NVR....dahua generally comes static from the factory at 192.168.1.108....if your router is not on the same subnet you will first need to change the ip address of the camera.

 

Okay, I am slightly confused if I have done everything correctly.

 

Does the NVR need to be connected to a router connected to the internet?

Do you connect the Camera via ethernet cable through a POE Switch into a the same router?

Does the NVR require a hard drive to be installed for it to work?

 

Maybe you could give me a basic idea of the layout of what needs to be connected to what?

 

Now I understand: the camera goes through a poe switch into a router. The NVR goes into a router as well. Then I can open the camera through the software through any other computer connected to the ethernet?

You can do this several ways...easiest is to connect the camera nvr and router to the poe switch....

The NVR should not need a drive..it may beep if no drive is inserted.

What is the ip address of your router? if its not 192.168.1.xxx then you will first need to configure the camera to match the routers subnet. To do this you should be able to use dahuas config tool...or this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJe7facsxxE

Okay, I have connected the NVR to the poe switch, and connected the poe switch to my rounter ( apple airport extreme ).I understand that when I connect an NVR to a monitor it should show up something - but it doesnt show anything. As well, the NVR turns on then reboots in a couple of minutes.

try putting a drive inside...some will reboot if no drive is present. The camera will never show unless you properly configure the NVR and camera...your first objective is to access the camera via your pc's web interface.

Go get the analog system for Plug & Play. It has been there all the way. The IP systems do not understand Plug & Play.

Yes they do. Stop intentionally lying, you know that is NOT true. For IP to be plug and play, you simply need an NVR with built in POE ports...otherwise if you use your own switch you need minimal network knowledge...

If you really wanted to help, you would say get a dahua NVR with POE built in...but you dont. You intentionally mislead. Stop it. You know very well that IP with the POE on the NVR is plug and play if you get the same brand NVR and camera.

Analog is crap...stop recommending low resolution analog JUNK in 2015. The fact that your company manufactures it does not make it the right choice.

He will be able to figure this out with the help of users on this forum. I will offer to login via teamviewer and help him just to get you to shut-up and stop lying. He already has the gear, why are you giving him poor advice? Its really upsetting to see you do this because I know that you know that ip with matching NVR is plug and play.

The only folks still installing low resolution analog on NEW home and small business installs are ripoff artists selling low end junk to end users.

No matter what. Cheap and Simple that drives Analog over IP.

You are not helping the poster. CRT monitors are cheap and simple...no one users them. Tape recorders are cheap and simple...typewriters are cheap and simple...why are we even using pc's......

[SunnyKim 2]

Be Simple & Smart, Boogieman. I never recommended CRT which is hard to find and more expensive. Tape recorders are the same. Please do not get me wrong.

Low resolution analog is not smart, its stupid, very stupid.

Again. IP is plug and play also, what part of that dont you understand? All you need is a POE NVR..match NVR to cameras. Easy peasy....maybe its too difficult for you...I know..

The video clip can not justify U$1000 vs U$100. Try to be smart, please.

Where are you getting 1000 vs 100..now you are just making stuff up and is PROOF that you are a liar and scammer......and even at those prices it justifies it...a recording is useless if it cannot ID.

4 cameras system with 1tb drive and NVR...399....1080p with 2tb drive, 799...where are you getting your numbers from...100 dollars will barely get you a hard drive....And no one needs your companies junk DVR cards or Junk DVR's. Please show me a kit with 4 cameras hard drive and DVR in the US with warranty for 100...if you do, i will paypal you 100.

[SunnyKim 2]

How about U$500 vs U$150?

[Boogieman 1]

How about U$500 vs U$150?

Wow, how did your prices drop so fast?

bad example anyway...its more like 300 vs 400...because you need to compare the quality of the cameras and DVR.

Also dont forget about the benefits of IP, cheaper to install because you dont have to homrun wires....easy to setup dual storage locations in case the NVR is stolen...and more importantly MUCH better image quality. Again, enough of your junk analog D1 cameras, you can sell those in china or third world countries..not here in the USA, we know better.

If you want to simply look for the cheapest price I can find you an IP 720 kit for 170...you just need to add the drive...sold in the US on amazon...

[SunnyKim 2]

I dropped the price gap, say to U$500 vs U$150, fast enough. Because I did not want you to go Mad. Please do not name and bash those countries, in any sense. I know you are also earning breads on promoting those products from those countries.

First, I am in america, we can bash anyone we want...you see, we are not censored here...I know its hard to understand for you.

I earn no money selling cameras, NVR/dvr's..you are making stuff up.

I make no money promoting them...are you suggesting that costco, qsee, amazon, swann and hikvision are all paying me?

Please tell me why someone should buy your low resolution junk D1 kit over this

Same price....again, please stop promoting your low end garbage...enough is enough. I dont know how you sleep at night.

Sunny seriously

do you really believe that people in North America want to buy Analog camera ?

Plz stop !

Okay, I had went ahead and purchased a harddrive for the nvr, but after connecting the harddrive to the nvr and connecting the nvr to the monitor - it still doesnt show anything ( i dont mean the camera, just some sort of user panel). As well, the nvr still powers on and restarts.

if the NVR is restating it may be defective...you also may have to log in an initiallze the drive...

Before you do anything else, the first step is to be able to access the camera via your network. Nothing will magically show up on the NVR...

What is your routers ip address?

Thanks for all of your help Boogieman! The camera has very good video quality, and thank you once again for the help over Teamviewer and you setting everything up!

[SunnyKim 2]

Don't mention it. It's his job to help you out as far as IP cameras in North America are concerned.

No its my job to protect folks from scammers like you lying about how great D1 resolution cameras are...then lying about how the same sensors are used in 4mp cameras and implying that the image is the same. Mission accomplished.

We can see the difference between D1 and 4mp..if you cant, its time for glasses.
