MrMxyzptlk 0 Posted October 30, 2017 On a dark and stormy night... Ok, it wasn't stormy and it wasn't at night. But a Halloween story needs a good spooky opening. I installed a Speco NVR, their NXL series which is supposed to be real smart. We set it up as the tech support people advised and shortly after it started booting cameras. We had six IP cameras hooked up through the network. I know the NXL has a POE but the conditions didn't allow for getting all the lines to the NVR. Those six cameras were four O2VLD6, one O2LPR67 and one O2P12X PTZ camera. We had them set for around 2,400 Kbps for the main feed and 1,200 Kbps for the secondary feed using VBR. The total Kbps should be around 21,600 total. The NVR can run a max of 80 Mbps over all eight channels. The roughly 22 Mbps total of the six cameras should be fine. Since they are all 2 Mp cameras running at a moderate quality they shouldn't ever come near the 80 Mbps limit. However we have at various times lost from 1 camera to 5 cameras. One single O2VLD6 sucking upwards of 80 Mbps is literally insane. So we returned the NVR. Speco ran it through the paces and couldn't find anything wrong. So they sent us a brand new one. We set it up again and low and behold the new one did the same thing as the old one. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did they fix it? So, I'm thinking ghost. It's the only answer I have left. Tech support is baffled. I've called in a networking specialist to check the system out to see if the cable company or we have something set wrong but if that fails I'm wondering if anyone has the number for Ghost Busters... Not the new crew but the original guys. Oh, and what the heck is the "Remote Channel" setting all about? I can't find anything on what that is all about.
