I'm not sure about those 2 extra wires, just some random snapshot i took from product page

Just checked my poe adapter cables and apparently only has 4 wires inside. Guess it's more than enough

Btw, for the hikvision camera you're using with chinese firmware. Are the days displayed also in chinese, or do you just enable display for date? Was your nvr multilanguage or chinese only, forgot already ar

Which models you got for 6 more units?

Btw, how's detection so far for motion detection?
Do you use email notification with pictures/ivms app or both?

Not DIY, but currently doing renovation.
I asked my wireman to setup CCTV cabling in my house, they use conduit for CCTV cables.

Setting it up with motion detection is pretty easy, and it sends alert to ivms app. I just can't seem to get email alerts working properly, might have to do something with DS 7108 firmware.
Also for your DS 7108 POE model, do you still need router to provide IP address? Or just use crossover cable for if you're setting up CCTV without router?

My setup similar to yours
I'm curious to see if your nvr can still detect those ip cameras without a router in the setup
Can't really test it myself since I don't have nvr with poe ports (i have separate poe adapters)

you can diy.Long run cheaper and easy maintenance by yourself.
-for a start get a hikvision 3mp poe for usd70-75 each.(purchase from aliexpress or ebay)
-cat6 lan cable.
-a 2 disk synology nas comes with 2 licences(very good surveillance software,motion detection by email,
DS cam-apps for android and ios-live stream
-maybe a 8 port gigabit switch for future cameras expansion.
I do all my own setup.

I'll be testing that once I get home.
It's just that i read how you need one of those cross cable lan if you wanna use without router (didn't really mention it was POE NVR or not)

Synology that good?
License fee is just too expensive for each camera (rm240)
Have you tried other alternatives like kerbio, motion eye, zoneminder?
You mean normal gigabit switch or poe gigabit switch?

Using that for almost all my camera setup
But i only connect to external poe switch, don't have nvr with poe ports
Btw, can you connect to ezviz cloud on your nvr?
Just tested digi broadband, portforwarding is blocked by default. But if nvr connect to cloud, then no problem to view live stream outside home network

You are asking PoE NVR to Non-PoE IPCam, then you need to buy PoE IEEE 802.3af Splitter, Output must be 12V (Some big or PTZ Cam, use 24V). And check how many Watt also. Must match with your camera Voltage (V) and Power Consumption (W), if camera 4W, so ur Splitter must output at least 4W, or 0.33A.. (4W/12V = 0.33A)

IVMS is HIKVISION App, EZVIZ is P2P Cloud by HIKVISION and IVMS also support EZVIZ, using that, u no need DDNS and Port Forwarding. Suitable for those who use mobile broadband which don't hv public IP. Downside is, a bit slow compare to Public IP DDNS, and app/web playback no fast forward.

Hi bro, I am interested to get Hikvision and install myself. Can you share where you got yours? Thanks!
