    Any BI experts in Boise Idaho area that I could hire to switch my LaView LV-N9508Q8E system over to BI and do some integrating?

    If you have experience with BI and are local please send me a text. 208-286-20 thirteen. I am a technically proficient ME who simply is far too busy to learn more security cam tech, and my experience ends in 2020 when I setup this latest LaView/Hik setup w 6 cams. Want to add 4 more WIFI...

    Need advice. Ready to drop RING and have a LaView LV-N9508Q8E. How do I integrate wireless cameras and doorbell?

    I have a fully redundant system I setup, cause Ring was much easier and cheaper for monitoring and wireless cameras and I can't get CAT5 ran to the other side of my garage. I currently have 6 wired cams hooked up to the LaView/Hikvision. What cameras are the closest to the ring Spotlight...

    B&H photo selling tampered with Hikvision cams?

    It already was "activated" and I had to reset it. But I didn't know at the time and I spent a lot of time learning why it was screwed up. The replacement camera popped up a prompt "enter new password" and then was activated in 2 seconds.

    B&H photo selling tampered with Hikvision cams?

    I purchased a DS-2CDxxx Turret cam from B&H photo (actually a waste of time as I later found Amazon had the same PN for 20% cheaper). What showed up acted really strange in SADP...almost like it already had a PW associated with it. Spent hours getting it to communicate and work. I ordered a...

    WTB: Hikvision (LaView) NVR 4MP or better (no cameras needed)

    I have no idea what used NVRs go for. I've only ever bought kits with 4-6 cams for 300 bucks +/- 100.

    WTB: Hikvision (LaView) NVR 4MP or better (no cameras needed)

    No kidding! I've only used their support once years ago and was not impressed, you guys taught me everything to get me by. Nice - I'll look for a new hikvision one if I can't find a good used deal. Cheers!

    WTB: Hikvision (LaView) NVR 4MP or better (no cameras needed)

    Is it superior to the LaView stuff? Its been adequate for me, I'm not a technophile when it comes to security. Just want a reliable system I don't have to dick with :)

    Mat200, how do I check? All I know is it is a LV-N9508Q8E 8 channel 4MP. Mfg's documentatoin is below but I can't find where it tells me if its a "saturn" or "dahua" or "hikvision" so I'm lost :( https://www.laviewsecurity.com/8-channel-4k-nvr-6-4mp-ip-bullet-2tb-473.html

    Anybody have a Hikvision/LaView NVR they want to upgrade or get rid of? I need a second NVR box (hdd or no, price dependent is fine) but don't need any more cameras.

    Tutorial or video on how to add 3rd party IP camera (Swann) to LaView NVR?

    Figured it out. I was correct, they sent me a used camera. For anybody else running into this, on this model camera you remove the dome glass and there is an UNMARKED button on the circuit board. This is the reset. Disconnect power, reconnect and hold the button for 30 seconds. That is a...

    Tutorial or video on how to add 3rd party IP camera (Swann) to LaView NVR?

    The problem is, I beleive they sent me a camera with a changed password. I can't confirm this but so far 3 tools will not update the camera and provide an error after I input the password to attempt to change the IP. Anybody know a way to hard reset the camera/password, without Swann's support?

    Tutorial or video on how to add 3rd party IP camera (Swann) to LaView NVR?

    Both cameras are Swann NHD-851 Camera #1 showed up with IP address 192.168.x.x. It easily connected to the LaView N9508 Camera #2 (also an NHD-851) showed up with IP address 172.16.1.5. The N9508 can see the camera and the IP but will not show video. I have now tried using (3) IP config...

    Tutorial or video on how to add 3rd party IP camera (Swann) to LaView NVR?

    If anybody knows another method to change the IP address I'm all ears! The "level 1 tech support" person at Swann told me you are supposed to change them thru the NVR. However their own website says you are supposed to change them using their Network Config Tool. So I'm 100% stuck.

    Tutorial or video on how to add 3rd party IP camera (Swann) to LaView NVR?

    POE cameras, +_12VDC adapter being used. I can see the camera on my network - the Swann software will not pick them up and the other software I have (LaView IP finder tool) will not let me change the IP address. Therefore I am certain they are wired correctly and I'm pretty certain I know what...

    Tutorial or video on how to add 3rd party IP camera (Swann) to LaView NVR?

    Just to clear it up, I bought a 2 pack of Swann cameras. One came from the factory with IP "192.xxx" and connected to my NVR first try. The other had IP "172.xxx" and Swann cannot support me on how to change it, their software doesn't work, and frankly they couldn't tell the difference between...

    Tutorial or video on how to add 3rd party IP camera (Swann) to LaView NVR?

    I have now spent 3 hours with Swann tech support. To sum it up, Level 1 tech support doesn't even know what "IP" stands for. They reiterated numerous times that they "cannot support me if I connect the camera to a router". When I show them, clear as day on their website that in order to...

    Tutorial or video on how to add 3rd party IP camera (Swann) to LaView NVR?

    Thanks. It appears to be a Swann issue, just like you I assumed I had to change the camera IP but their crap software won't even find the camera. LaViews IP config tool DID find it (its plugged direct into my network) so now I'm off to swann tech support, which I can already tell is terrible :(

    WIFI over POE? Help! Moved to new house w vaulted ceilings, ditch LaView POE cams for LaView WIFI (gasp)? Opinions?

    Tutorial or video on how to add 3rd party IP camera (Swann) to LaView NVR?

    Hey, better than no replies which is what I had before lol So my setup is very straightforward, no router (I don't see any reason that would be necessary). The LaView NVR identifies the Swann cam and imports it's IP address correctly. I input the password and user name and it thinks everything...

    WIFI over POE? Help! Moved to new house w vaulted ceilings, ditch LaView POE cams for LaView WIFI (gasp)? Opinions?

    Hi, First off I'm not a noob but I also am not super interested in security cameras, so I'd really love some hand holding :). I'd love to hire a pro but I don't have that kind of budget. I am about to switch from POE cameras to WIFI cameras unless somebody can talk me out of it or offer any...
