What NVR are you guys using for this product? Will a free or reasonably priced home software like XProtect or BlueIris work? What solution do you use?

Hit or miss. I have a few Hikvisions and most support it if you have the latest firmware. Also its part of the ONVIF protocol so you have to have it enabled on the camera with schedule, etc then it will work with the NVR detection and schedule.

Please don't use the NVR with other brands of cameras. Some function will not work such as motion detection.

There are a few free apps for Android phones; IPCamViewer, Foscam also has an app, and some others. I have the paid version of IPCamViewer just for some extra features... It's worth it, it's only a few dollars. If you want some awesome DVR software on the cheap, get BlueIris. I have 3 Foscam cams running and recording on it. Hope that helps.

defective cameras? a setting in the dvr? Have you tried swapping one of the working color cameras? We used this on 6 color cameras with no problem at all.

yes, you need software to do it, that does not cost much. BlueIris is the name of the software I believe, and it works wonderful. Records sound too if you want it to. I think it is 40$ for the software. The foscam site has a link for the software.

Try QVISS security they have a Zesus 4 channel DVR with 500GB for $152.00 and it has a iphone app.You may need to go direct to them as I don't think amazon carries this brand. I have it running now for 2 years and it works great,

Personally, I have disconnected the NVR because it has been more of a hassle trying to get their software up and running as an isolated unit apart from my PC (the reason that I made the purchase). I have decided to Run ISpy freeware on my PC and use my 1TB hard drive to record any activity.

I have NVR installed on my one server and it manages all of the cameras from that. It also records to the server drives. You can install NVR software on any computer to record video.

If you buy the software or get the trial version (http://blueirissoftware.com/download/), you will need to install on a PC (which will become your NVR or DVR). Guess your cameras are IP cameras? Then you can view your cameras locally, serve to mobile devices locally and view remotely. Also recording locally on the PC hard disk.

Try unplug and plug the unit back into your machine , Try using a different USB cable, the OS this supports are windows me/2000/xp/2003/vista, Mac OS 10.4. You may need to install the driver for this DVR.

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

I was able to get my foscam to work after changing the camera port and manually putting in the rstp setting. However I found the keypad un reliable for recording and purchased a dedicated NVR. Search the Internet for a how too.
