  1. I was trying to avoid using lan to stream to both nvrs. But probably gonna have to do it that way to get it to Work reliably. Plus I need two more things to accomplish this a switch and an injector. Right now I'm trying a different open channel on the nvr to see if it's stable. 6 to 8 hours before I know if it worked while I wait for a restart. Hopefully it doesn't restart.
  2. An update to my situation, so I got everything installed, main nvr with 5 cameras, camera port 8 goes to second nvr with crossover wire no 4,5,7,8 pins. Second nvr set to gateway of the first nvr and I see the camera and setup is a breeze. Only problem this causes is first nvr reboots every 6 to 8 hours I've narrowed it down to the second nvr because when it's not plugged in first nvr works all day without reboot. I'm gonna try using the lan port on nvr one to nvr two and see if I can get it to work reliably that way.
  3. Daryl733 - I have almost a full understanding of what,i need to do thanks, I'm only unsure of one connection. The switch has only one lan port can I use a rj45 spliter to put both nvrs on the same lan? So now I have this order of hookup, correct me where needed Poe camera connected to line 1 on switch, Poe Switch lan port going to two nvrs lan ports regardless if nvr has camera ports. Main nvr will be set to dhcp, second nvr disable dhcp and set it's ip to an open address. Main nvr will assign the cameras ip, second nvr will set to see ip address of camera. Plug in the rest of the cameras into main nvr. I'm guessing all connections using standard wiring no crossover.
  4. daryl733- if I go the switch route- does the switch have to connected to internet service to send the cameras feed to the NVR's? does it need to be a POE switch? neither nvr will be connected to the internet, why would their internal ip address need to be changed, wouldn't each nvr just be receiving or would the camera provided the link between the nvr's? sorry for the questions I'm just learning. so I would connect the camera to the line in on the switch (poe or non poe switch?) , then two line outs from the switch would go to each poe nvr(the nvr's I plan to use have the poe ports right on the back of the unit instead of a separate switch.) both nvr's have a ethernet port meant for internet service and viewing remotely, these will not be utilized. I'm guessing this will work without to much setup on the nvr's? I'm assuming the camera ip address wont matter because the nvrs are not looking for cameras over the ethernet because they will be plugged directly into each camera port on the back of the nvr? hopefully it is easy as I just outlined. please confim thanks
  5. Flossyrockstar - that's right poe nvr, although this camera in question might need its own power since the router is in between it I don't know if power will get to it.
  6. I forgot to mention, the cameras will not be connected through to the existing network. They will have a closed connnection directly to the nvr. So no streaming via the network bandwith. I'm guess it's address will be 10.1.10.1 or something like that. The router is for networks and uses the 192.168.100.1 address. Will that be a problem, I'm afraid the nvrs won't see the camera because it will be broadcasted by the router with a different style of address. I have not committed to buying anything yet until I understand what I need to make it work this way, the nvr have separate port to connect to Ethernet. Mine will never be connected to it.
  7. hello, First apoligies if i posted this question in the wrong section, my question is to do with router. i want to split the camera feed from one camera to two nvr's i was planning on using a Hikvision DS-7108N-SN/P nvr that has the port switches built in as the main recording unit. another 4 channel nvr DS-7104n will receive the second signal without recording it so that it can be viewed independently on another monitor. I dont fully understand how ip cameras work but my theory was to buy a standard 4 port router, plug the camera feed into the line in on the router, and the line outs can go to the nvr's? would that work? if so does the router have enough power on its own that i dont need an injector thrown in there? the cameras are also hikvision they have the cat5 plug and the power plug seperate. i would be using a poe splitter but does the line in on the router provide power to do that? lastly if someone has a better way to do what i want to do please share your thoughts any help would be appreciated. thank you
