NAS options....QNAP or Synology

Can you use Amcrest NVR with wireless cameras or do they have to be plugged in to the NVR?

Padre2,
How did you get the Amcrest cameras to show up with the Qcam NVR? I am trying to do the same thing. Any tips greatly appreciated.

I have had some bumps along the way. I had the reboot loop issue and the issue with connecting using LiveView, and an issue with motion snapshots (it delays the snapshot by 4 seconds so you miss what caused the motion).

It's not perfect, here are my current complaints:
- When I make setting changes I have to reboot the NVR to make sure it syncs correctly with the cameras.
- I have to close out of LiveViewPro after each use to ensure that it will connect the next time I use it.
- Motion detection is finicky and hard to get dialed in. I've turned off snapshot emails and am using LiveViewPro notifications to send a 30 second recording of motion. I get less false alarms and it's much easier to see what caused the motion. Motion is probably 80% reliable.

Once configured it has been stable and I like the image quality. Bottom line for me is now that I understand how to configure it and what the limitations are I sort of like it.

How you resolve the problem of the reboot loop? And the issue of connection?

Best regards
