try taking the nvr off from the network and see if that allows the cameras to be assigned IP addresses generated by the nvr. also check the cameras to see if they are set to dhcp or static.

you would have to change the IP on either the camera or your pc to match for instance camera is 192.168.254.2 to view directly without going to the NVR you would have to change to and unused address with 192.168.254.66 for example I am guessing the 255.255.255.0 is the same for both. I also think you may have to have the camera and pc on the same switch as the nvr may block direct access to the individual cameras.

are your cameras and NVRon the same ip addressing scheme. We usualy setup the cameras on their own subnet and have the nvr on the common one. For instance cameras are 10.0.0.55-75 nvr is 192.168.1.67. anywy check that as you may have to have the addressses match up to access the camera directly.

google pinhole cameras I think geovision and axis have units that would work. They would be IP but do not think they have a 8 meg camera.

I would reccommend a powered vga etender. Many of them will push the signal 100 feet or more either using a long vga cable or cat5

you might need to go the other way make sure the camera has a vent of some kind to prevent moisture from building up. Some cameras have a silica Gel package to help absorb moisture.

not familiar with that system but check and see if their is a spot monitor option another thing to check is setting up another user with limited camera access.You would have to view either on a smart phone or pc

do you have the proper ports open on your router.

This is a long shot at best. Make sure the dvr IP is outside of the routers range of dhcp addresses. It is possible that the router does not see the address assigned to the dvr due to power out or something, qnd their may be something wrong with how the dvr sets a static IP.

Do you have the same level of software on your phone as his?

what ports do you have open on your router? the mobile app for phones may be different than the one used for a pc. look on you mfgs info for port settings and software levels required for mobile devices

usually you would have to port forward the internal IP address so that the device can be seen from the outside world. You are seeing in your faciity because you are on the same addressing scheme and subnet

look on ubiquity website

does your microphone require panthom power? I would also try different mic. and check cable I would run pre made audio cable to eliminate any powe interferance

what are you doing for power?

did you setup the Hikvision cam as a DMZ on your router. also check for dup ip addresses. check for devices with the same port.

axis has a pinhole camera as do some other brands

i have a need to send a remote view to a monitor from a geovision system. i have messed about with the decoder box and mobile server and it is not working so I am planning on just having a small mini pc feeding a big screen tv via HDMI. The pc does not need to do anything else other than show the multiview on the TV no apps or other programs. I wonder if anyone has used any of the various brands. KVM extender will not work . I do have wired ethernet at the TV so getting the PC on the network is not a problem.

https://www.avycon.com/ Wondering if anyone has experience with them or knows anything about them.

you can convert the coax and fiber to ethernet and use your existing wiring. Axis, geovision, and several others combine cams and access control.

Look at AVE they do individual tills but I think they have a network solution as well. Not sure but worth checking out.

b pattern is the most common. If you keep having problems with plugs try using a jack on your cable and connect your camera with a patch cord.

It most likley has a torx fastener you should be able to find the bits at an automotive store or hardware. only a few bucks and you will need them anyway to mount camera check setting etc.

can you go to 2 dvrs it might make the cpu loads more reasonable.

you could have the power wires terminated properely and the other paris mismatched. Your cable tester should show all 4 pairs connected directly to each other brown to brown etc. if not reterminate and try again.
