    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    @MaryMorton , I have the same exact problem. Half hour ago had to just unplug it to restart. Brutal, I know. The GUI came back but still the login view flickers around and keys stick. I don't know if I am not remembering the password or it is taking a different character.

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    But at least the NVR may work normally and I could save $500 and lots of time :)

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    By the way, the hardware of my NVR seems quite decent, it has 4 SATA ports, PoE for 16 cameras, and so on. Feels such a waste to throw it out just because LaView firmware is bad. I can't find a way to put a hikvision firmware in it though.

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    I looked at one of my LaView cameras and seems to have ONVIF output listed in specs. Doesn't this make the camera universal for any NVR? LV-PD51208C https://www.newegg.com/laview-lv-pd51208c-dome-camera/p/N82E16881183146 Will EmpireTech be out of the question with these cameras? E.g. this one...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    Ok guys. Thanks for the help. I am back in game trying to resolve this problem. Been reading for a few days and still torn between two options: 1. Go the Blue Iris way, buy an adequate PC, pair it with a PoE switch, and deal with (perhaps) endless configurations. This choice is good because it...

    Thank you @steve1225 . I will check later. I already checked for bad sectors last week and all came up green, no errors on either disk. Will let you know about the SMART status.

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    Just an update. I formatted the two hard drives and the playback problem was resolved. I could finally play back videos. But the system GUI remains very problematic, I cannot even enter the password because the interface flickers and button presses seem to stick. I reset to defaults and nothing...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    Thank you for your replies. To be clear, I am not interested to load my NAS with 16 camera feeds. Wouldn't want even to have that much data flowing through my router or home network. I like that the NVR has its own network and all data stay within that without flowing on the home network. So...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    I have the Laview LV-N9916C6E and currently 14 cameras on it. I inherited it from the previous homeowner. The system is a piece of unimaginable crap. Just entering the admin password is a challenge because keys seem to stick. At this moment I cannot even play back the videos either from the...
