This is not connected to my router - didn’t want to do that until it is working.
I’ve tried hunting through the menus and detecting the cameras, but I can’t get any to show anything. I don’t know what model the cameras are - but I think all of this is approx 2013 vintage.
I have verified power supply to the DNR is good for the PoE.
I may have bad software, DNR or cameras (all 4, really?). How do I test and isolate (my only electronic tool is a multimeter)?
I called Digimark and they were of as little help as they possibly could be.
Thanks!

You are probably better off just hanging new cameras; since they are PoE, they will be plug n play. I'd recommend a good 4MP or higher camera, which can be had for just around $100 per camera.
