    Ahhhh that's an interesting take. The display is the one I use on my laptop daily. I wasn't sure if I could login remotely since it is directly out of the box.

    Are you using the HDMI port of the VGA port for your display? I am using the HDMI and wondering if I need to try the VGA. I think I have a VGA connected display in my attic.

    Good to hear about the hard drive. Since I didn't see anything mentioned, I assumed that was the case. It's interesting the difference between your table and the quick start guide.

    I got my NVR in today. It's the model NVR5232-16P-4KS2E. Very little documentation. It looks like just installing the hard drive and hooking a monitor up to get it to boot. Is that correct? I have the HD hooked up and it spins up, I have the monitor plugged in to the HDMI port but nothing comes...

    I downloaded codeProject.ai.2 this morning and it looked like it installed correctly. Just not sure how to get this screen to popup or how to start it. I did do a search and may have looked over it.

    And here we are in Blue Iris, 7 minutes later. Sorry got distracted downloading the CodeProject AI. The reason I am showing this is just to show how easy it is to start with no experience and help from the members here with equipment to start with.

    Heck yeah, about 30 minutes of working with the new camera and it's on my network. I am sure it would take a person who is familiar with the equipment to do it much quicker.

    Ahhh Okay, knew there had to be a reason.

    Hey guys, I already have the camera everyone uses for LPR ordered and should be here today or tomorrow so don't think to yourselves why did he ask in the first place if he wasn't going to follow our advice..... Anyway is there any reason this camera could not be used as well? I do see that it is...

    New to NVR request direction

    Yeah that was sort of my original intent but have moved past that due to the input of others here. Probably going with something like this. I just need to decide if I want the POE switch built in or not. They make this I already have the camera on order as well as a hard drive to get me going...

    New to NVR request direction

    Ahhhh That makes sense. I assume the internal switch of the NVR is an unmanaged switch, where as if you used an external switch, you actually have a choice between managed and unmanaged switches.

    I guess I don't understand really. I mean if using quality equipment (switches and cables as you say) I don't really understand the difference. I guess there is a single point of failure at the interface of the switch to the NVR though. Thanks for the info.

    New to NVR request direction

    Seems to me I could buy a POE switch and a Non POE NVR and actually break up the two functions, is that not correct? Seems to me that an NVR with POE has a better chance of possible problems if the switch dies and you would have to replace the full NVR. Is there any advantage to having the POE...

    Awesome, thanks Tony.

    New to NVR request direction

    Sorry guys, another newbie question. I got my camera ordered and was looking at this diagram and wondering why the POE switch is needed if the NVR has the POE built in. Or maybe the NVR shown does not have POE ports and that's why the POE switch is needed? Am I thinking straight?

    OpenALPR Advice?

    Yes I know this is an old thread but I am thinking of trying to use the source on Github. I am also thinking of purchasing an NVR that is running Linux. Do you happen to know in general if I could run OpenALPR on a NVR running Linux or should I just setup a different machine?

    Hey all, new guy here but getting caught up.... I think. I see this thread has been going on for a year or two, is the camera that you started out with still the best to use in your opinion?

    I bought a copy of Blue Iris, that is a cool program. This puts it all in perspective on how the pieces fit together. Again, thanks everyone.

    Awesome, thanks. I have used TP-Link before and they worked well. Thanks again all.

    I am not going to argue about this but I have a 4 story house that's 45 years old and 6000sq ft. To go from the bottom floor to the top would be a major pain in the rear.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about those. Do you have a specific model you prefer that seem to work well for you?

    New to NVR request direction

    Perfect answer, so the NVR can record (I assume based on IP) the cameras off the network. That makes perfect sense to me. I fully agree with you on the jamming of the signals, thus the reason I have searched high and low for a good POE system. The WiFi cameras will be used more as confirmation...

    New to NVR request direction

    Ahhhh maybe that's the part I am missing. I didn't realize you could record other cameras on the same network, be it WiFi or POE. I just thought you would be limited by the number of channels dedicated to POE and WiFi. The only reason I would like some WiFi is the fact I live in a 50 year old...

    I looked there before I asked the question, and maybe I am overlooking something, but I didn't see any NVRs there that had both POE and WIFI inputs?

    New to NVR request direction

    Hello all, I am new to this NVR equipment and there is so much out there it's difficult to pick and choose what I need. I would like a 16 channel NVR just so I don't run out of channels. I am thinking I would like 8 to be POE and 8 to be WIFI. I would also like to add a License Plate reader and...
