Can someone post a copy (screenshot) of their log?

It's frustrating, believe me but you can get it to work. First, you have to download an old version of IE. I use 11. You have to clear all the settings. Also, I'm pretty sure the plugin looks at specific IP/urls so it will ask you for each occurrence of a unique IP/url. As I said, it's frustrating b...

The NVR is in essence another router. What you're trying to do isn't possible. You can still run a camera through the NVR without connecting it to the NVR directly.

First, assign the NVR a static IP outside the DHCP range. There are different ports to pay attention to: TCP, UDP, and HTTP. Leave the TCP and UDP ports alone. I think they are set to 37777 and 37778. Set your HTTP port to something like 1500. Next, in your router you have to set up Port Forwarding ...

Actually, for the cable sets in both of our posts, you use the existing AC adapter and the cables (from Amazon) so the power part plugs into the power port where you normally plug the AC adapter. You're basically extending the power from the AC adapter via CAT5. Sorry about the confusion.

When you use wifi, you're using your primary router so chances arevthe wired and wireless cameras are on different subnets because...

I use tinycam with static IPs and port forwarding.

You'll need to look in your camera. The diagram is from a Dahua camera. Also, POE uses 2 wires per + and -. Pins 4&5 are + and pins 7&8 are -.
