I have a Mini NVR 8CH upgraded to Xvision firmware and added few iX protocol (i12,i13,i18) for various ip cameras. Master Version: V4.0[20141030]. Hardware Version V4.0 1. New cameras work with i9 and i13 motion detection flawlessly. I managed to get Escam QD300 to accept i12 (file: i12-20140607.update) protocol but no motion detection. System would give me "Save parameter error" if I try to change motion sensitivity or alarm parameter. If you have a correct private i12 protocol update to work with this camera, please reply a link. 2. I also have foscam FI9821W V2, which can be connected as Onvif protocol, so no motion detection or PTZ. Foscam FN3104H NVR is a 4CH similar to other Mini NVR but have Foscam protocol in their firmware. Is there a private foscam protocol to be added to aftermarket mini NVR? Thank You

don't know if you have your answer yet but here is the possible problem and solution. 1. problem: cpu is being overheated. solution: open up the DVR add mini fans to exhaust the heat. there are at least one available fan connector on the main board. 2. problem: hard drive is failing. solution: use newer NAS type hard drive for longer write cycles. 3. The system is old, use a lot of power, and will fail again in short time even if you manage to keep it running. I suggest you invest in the newer IP based camera and lower power usage NVR. 720p is ok, but I would recommend 1080p for clarity. good luck

I saw the same Ebay POE injector from Johnathan Oxer SuperhouseTV. With your advise, I decided to go with the POE switch. Thanks! However, I would like the POE Switch to be mounted on the camera pole next to three IP CAM. Can I use one Ethernet with 48VDC injector/slitter to power the switch from 50-75ft? I also created a new post with same question.

Here is what I plan to setup: Remote Pole with 3x POE ip cameras + 1x 4 ports POE switch. To minimize cabling, can I run 1 Cat5e from the house through conduit, using passive POE injector and splitter to power 48VDC to the POE switch, then from the switch powers 3x POE cameras?

I am looking in purchase IP camera with IEEE 802.3af compliant camera. to get Power, I've got a POE injector like such: http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Quality-4-Port-POE-Power-Over-Ethernet-Injector-For-IP-Camera-EM-01-/380885515958?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58ae8bbeb6 Can IEEE 802.3af compliant camera operate with 12V feed from the POE injector? Or do I have to supply a 24V or 48V to the POE injector?
