Hi Guys, I switched ISPs. I also needed to switch the IPs of the Wireless cameras that get their IPs from the router. The POE cameras were OK since they get their IPs from the NVR. To change the IP of the wireless cameras, I needed to do a complete reset and start over (as per recommendation) of Amc...

I only get 2 weeks on my 4TB. I have all 8 channels recording 24/7.

I used to have a similar problem where I'd lose cameras periodically. Come to find out, the IP addresses would change. I fixed that by using static IPs. Then I switched over to the private network of the NVR (10.1.1.x). I haven't had any drops since.

longedge, got it.

Why use a NAS for this? Why not a regular Hard Drive? Are you trying to retain weeks/months of footage? I use a 4TB internal Hard Drive. It allows me to record 8 cameras at HD quality for some and Ultra HD for other cameras. It records 24x7. It takes 2 weeks for the footage to rollover. If you only ...

We have the same model (NV4108E-HS).
I can hear audio when using IE.
I have an indoor camera (IP2M-841B). It records audio fine. I can hear audio during Playback in IE.
