Review on 🎥 Amcrest NV4108E-HS 4K 8CH POE NVR: High Resolution 8-Channel Network Video Recorder with 8MP/4K IP Camera Support and 6TB HDD Compatibility by Marty Drury

The instructions for the NVR are not the most intuitive and the NVR will ask for Preferred DNS and Alternate DNS during setup. I stopped here until I found out by searching that I had to enter 8.8.8.8 for the preferred DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the alternate DNS. I've already connected Amcrest WiFi cameras to the app and they work fine, but I couldn't connect them to the NVR. I contacted support and Jared helped me very patiently. The first problem was that my NVR password contained special characters it doesn't like, so avoid them. After a few steps we were able to reset the password and then I had to do the same with each camera and reset those passwords. It was able to connect to my laptop and set up the camera through a web app, much easier than a dashcam screen. I'm still working on adding more cameras so will see how it goes but for now I'm giving it 4 stars because the support was helpful during our 45 minute call which gives me confidence should other issues arise . Amcrest will be there to help me with the issues. This is my first NVR so I can't really compare it to others but overall it's not too bad if you follow my advice on passwords.
