      I thought I read in one of the user manuals on the site that you can have more than 8 cameras and be able to remote view all of those cameras but only record a maximum of 8. is that true?

      Example: I can have 12 cameras added to the NVR, but I can only record 8. I can view remotely all 12 though.

        Be nice to know if this is true or not.

          It is true. I have 9 Reolink cameras. I can view all nine on my app on my phone, but the 8 Channel NVR only records 8 of them.

            Thank You, I'll buy a few more.

            (other people reading, you will need a separate poe hub)

              That because there only 8 channels can be assigned. If you want to connect more than 8 cameras to the NVR, you need to purchase 16-channel NVR on our website. Sorry for any inconvenience caused to you. Thank you for your understanding.

                Is there a software upgrade key available? other than the actual POE ports required, its all just software, correct?

                  Hi, sorry that since the NVR only has 8 ports, it can support at most 8 cameras. This couldn't be achieved by software upgrading.
                  Thanks for your kind patience and understanding.

                    I must admit, I am a little confused after reading this thread...

                    I already have 8 x PoE cameras connected to my 8Ch NVR

                    How would I connect an additional PoE camera without disconnecting one of my existing cameras?

                    I would be happy for the additional camera to be 'view only'

                    Wireless wouldn't be any good for the intended location - too unreliable 😞

                      with a POE+ switch...I am able to see all my 4K/5MP cams, I can also see all 13 of my wireless cams on my computer using the Windows reolink client. Will be disconnecting the wireless one's soon, the 4K/5MP are awesome!

                        I understand that there are only 8 ports. If I wanted more than 8, I'd just use a poe+ switch. Seems like a missed business opportunity for you all. I'd be willing to pay more than the 80$ you charge between the 8 and 16 port product. Charge 100$ or so to allow all 16 channels to be recorded.
