If you add this doorbell to your Dahua NVR, can you also use an app to view it or get notifications? I have the DMSS app but I do not run it all the time because I have to run OpenVPN when I’m away from the house in order to use the app. Thank you!
I think you’d be crazy not to buy from Andy, especially over $30! The knowledge and time that he has for all of us is easily worth the $30. Sounds like you should hold off on buying a camera or look at Andy’s refurbished list!
@daves52380 I have a Dahua NVR and looking at getting a doorbell. Are you still using it? What model doorbell are you using? Are you using a POE cable between DB and NVR? Are you only viewing the doorbell through the NVR GUI? Thanks!

I have this and it’s compatible with edge, chrome,etc. Really nice NVR. Look on his site for specs.
Here is Empire Tech’s website. I am running the NVR16CH-16P-2AI. It is a great NVR and he also has it in the 8 channel.

I think there needs to be an updated sticky thread that describes the popular cameras specs and what situations you would want that camera for! Seems like this question gets asked every other day :)
This is an old model that is end of life (EOL). I would get the new NVR so you are up to date on the features and technology. Are you using Dahua cameras?
Here’s the 8 channel:

I can almost guarantee you that most people on here recommends starting with the camera in this kit unless you are trying to capture video at a long distance!
I agree with mat200 and would go with a NVR that has the built in POE. It is incredibly simple to use and setup. EmpireTech Kit3 8/16-Camera Capable NVR System with IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 1/
