Question 1

Can I wire the cameras to a PoE switch and then to the NVR?  In other words, does NVR expect only one camera per each of its ports?

Accepted Answer

Actually you can wire the cameras to a PoE switch or injector on the LAN side of the NVR.  I've done this where it was inconvenient to run a continuous cable from NVR to camera but was able to use some HomePlug AV2  adapters and then put a POE switch on the far end.  Also did this with a non-LaView ONVIF camera that was WiFi enabled.  You're still limited to the max number of cameras that the NVR supports.  Just edit (modify) one of the channels under Camera Management, enter the camera IP, user name, password.  This only worked for me after I edited the NVR network NAT tab settings to enable UPnP.  If you enter the user/password incorrectly it won't work but also won't tell you why so it can leave you scratching your head unless you get it right.

Probably would work on the individual camera ports at least for a single camera, unsure about multiple cameras on the switch as I've not tried it, though I think I remember reading some user comment once upon a time that it might work.

Question 3

is the network (LAN) port  gigabit?

Accepted Answer

Specifications say: Communication interface: 1 x RJ45 10 M / 100 M Ethernet interface

Question 4

Does the NVR come with the power and SATA cable?  All of the drives I'm looking at are bare with no cables.

Accepted Answer

The unit has space for two drives.  when you open the unit you will see two SATA cables and two SATA power adapters.  No need to buy cables.

Question 5

Will I be able to view output from the 4MP camera on a 1080P display or television?

Accepted Answer

your output comes from the DVR not from the CAMERA's directly although i suppose you could if you assigned IPs that you could reach on your network.  The normal setup for this system is to have the cameras connect to the DVR which supplies PoE and connectivity via a close IP loop.  The only external IP connection is provided by another port on the DVR so you can then use an external app to access the DVR to see video or playback as well as view video via the mobile app.  The back of the DVR has a VGA output and HDMI output, i haven't yet tested the HDMI but i was able to see amazing clarity on the VGA port hooked up to a 24 inch monitor.  I would assume that you will get 1080p out of the HDMI port if you actually capture the right quality from each 4mp camera.

Question 6

Can cameras be connected to your existing network - not plugged into one of the 8 camera ports on back of unit?

Accepted Answer

They can IF you use a power injector for the PoE capability but, I would recommend using the powered ports on the NVR.

Question 7

whats the largest HDD can i install, can i install a single 8TB or 10TB HDD? and can you install multiple HDDs?

Accepted Answer

One HDD, 6TB is the documented max.  6TB works in my NVR.

Question 8

One of the answers says it does not come with a remote.   One of the pictures shows a remote, 4 Cat5 cables, HDMI and VGA cables, and a mouse.    Which of these items are actually in the package?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

This particular item does not appear to come with a remote.  The product images have since been updated to reflect the contents of this package.

Question 9

Can these be hung under a sofit and turned almost 90 degrees to see straight out?   I see other cameras that have a 90 degree bend in the mount for viewing in such a manner.   If I hang one from the ceiling and next to a wall about 10 feet off the ground will I be able to turn it out enough to see the area 50 feet away at the same height?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I'm looking at one now and it can adjust to 90 degrees.  Actually the stem is long enough that it will go one very small click beyond 90 degrees.

Question 10

Is there any way to wirelessly connect the NVR to my home network?  Once I connect the cameras to the NVR with the Cat5 cable I would like to view them via my PC in another part of the house on a different floor.  Will it connect via my WIFI to my network?
