Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my new DS-7732NXI-K4 NVR and some HQ-MP2040T-IR cameras. Hoping someone here can help figure out what's going on.
My old recorder (an older DS-7732NI with modified firmware from HQ) failed, so we replaced it with this new DS-7732NXI-K4. Everything seems to connect fine, but the new NVR is only pulling in camera names for about half of the cameras. It's random – for example, with these two identical HQ-MP2040T-IR cameras (same model, same firmware version, same settings), it pulls the name from one but not the other.
The camera names are set in the Image -> OSD settings tab on the cameras themselves. For the ones it doesn't pull, the NVR just labels them as "IPCameraX" (where X is a number like 01-99).
Has anyone seen this before? What could be causing it? All cameras are configured identically, so it's puzzling why it's selective.


Thanks in advance for any advice!
