I only ran 2 ethernet cables to the garage when the trench was open (one for backup). So if a home run to the NVR is needed from each camera, then I would need a separate NVR for the garage. Perhaps my terminology is wrong. I probably should have said "human" detection and not "motion". I was looking at various PTZ's on youtube that showed human detection while in cruise mode. I got the itch for this as the neighbor behind my new garage had a break-in to his work truck two nights ago and about $4,000 in hand tool was stolen. Previously, I was contemplating PTZ's on the outside of the garage but was worried they would think I was spying on them. The cops came to my house yesterday to review the recordings on my DVR but non of my cameras were pointed towards his property. Now, I don't think he would mind.

I'm considering replacing my old DVR system in the main house with something with cameras that can connect to the NVR over the LAN or wifi so I can add cameras to my new unattached garage. The garage has power and ethernet. It is also well within reach of a powerful wifi access point. Looking on line, I see NVR's with a single ethernet connection and others with a separate connector for each camera. On the garage, I'm thinking 2 PTZ dome cameras on the exterior on opposing corners so I can cover 4 sides of the garage with 2 cameras. Cruise. motion and auto track a must. Inside the garage, 2-3 stationary cameras. On the main house, I will be replacing 6 analog video cameras with network POE and running new ethernet cables to each location. It would be nice if all the cameras could be plugged into a POE compatible switch and one run back to the router. Not sure if what I'm considering is doable. Looking for suggestions.

A thought. Something in Windows 10 blocking the incoming video stream?

I have a older DVR (An-Tone 4 ch) that was on my house that was replaced with a 8 ch. I want to put it in my new unattached garage. It's working fine from a local monitor but I can't seem to get a image over the LAN. I have tried a few different viewing software's with the same result. They indicate that they are connected to the DVR but I get no image. I tried the default port of 80 and also tried 8080. I made sure those ports have been forwarded in my router. Also have tried cnanyouseemee.org and those ports are open. Am I doing something stupid wrong???
