Problem: Dahua Switch is not being recognized by Dahua NVR. I have tried plugging the Dahua PFS4226 switch uplink ethernet cord into the second NVR RJ45 uplink receptacle with no success but when plugging the Dahua switch uplink ethernet cord into the Cisco 110 Series switch the NVR connects to...

Thank you for the quick reply Flintstone61. Using the old NVR I was able to get one of the 3 cameras to go back to factory default since none of the 3 cameras allowed me to modify their IP address. The second camera went to factory default but kept its NVR-assigned IP address 10.1.1.x and I...

Thank you Mark M and Flintstone61 for your responses and great suggestions. I was able to get 12 out of 15 cameras batched IP change using the Config Tool. I'm going to connect the old NVR to the 3 that don't show up to see what's up with them and get their IP addresses so I can manually...

Mark: Thank you for your reply and help. You are correct "Camera IP address is in the wrong subnet to the NVR, e.g cameras are on 10.1.1.x and the NVR is on 192.168.1.x.". The old NVR had the cameras directly connected to the NVR and changed the cameras to 10.1.1.X and the new NVR has the...

I was running a Dahua NVR5216 but due to its limited bandwidth, I upgraded to a NVR608H-32-XI using a Dahua switch PFS4226-24ET-240 plugged into the NVR RJ45 port and an ePoE switch (EmpireTech 10-Port Unmanaged Switch with 8-Port ePoE) plugged into the second RJ45 port of the PFS4226-24ET-240...

All great points I never thought about, "as is" sounds best and I agree with Wittaj, more spotter cams are the best solution for any blind spot outside of the PTZs presets. Thank you guys for your replies, much appreciated.

I am trying to have the PTZs continue to track a person even after they have stopped moving for more than 10 seconds. I find that when a person stops moving for 5 to 10 seconds the PTZ will go back to its original Preset settings and then when the person moves (if they're in the initial Preset...

I am running the 5216 presently but due to its limited bandwidth, my 8MP cameras have exceeded its ability. Below is what I have on order with Andy to upgrade what I have now. NVR608H-32-XI (Network Ports: 2 (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps Ethernet port, RJ-45)) PFS4226-24ET-240 (Port 25-26: 2 × RJ-45...

I ordered the following items from Andy and need advice on how to properly connect the 2 switches to the NVR and the NVR to my LAN switch (Cisco CBS 110 16T) to maximize performance (bandwidth). NVR608H-32-XI (Network Ports: 2 (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps Ethernet port, RJ-45)) PFS4226-24ET-240...

I took the NVR (NVR: NVR5216-16P-I) and router down to the other building where the PFT1200 is that feeds the SD8C845FG camera. I connected only the SD8C845FG camera to the NVR with no other cameras connected and plugged it into its original #6 RJ45 port on the NVR and had no changes, the video...

JDreaming, Wittaj, Flintstone61: I'm thinking the same thing, something is limiting the throughput of the camera. I have 15 cameras on a 16 port NVR consuming on average 114,700 kbps on an NVR bandwidth capacity of 320 Mbps (160 Mbps when AI function is enabled). I have unplugged 4 of the 4k...

I did a default reboot using the camera's GUI but no difference in performance. I'm wondering if the NVR may be the problem, the reason I say that is I have two SD8C845FG-HNF PTZ cameras, the older one has been up for almost a year and working perfectly since it was installed. The difference...

The issue: very choppy video, especially when PTZ moves and zooms in, on the camera's GUI clock the time skips 2-5 seconds forward as well. Details: Comparing the two SD8C845FG PTZs at different locations on the property, the first (location 8) operates at 10,250 kbps while the second...

BRF: I think you are describing the light sensor as the "Electrical ICR" setting in the "Day & Night" setting. I'll try and see if there is a way to check this evening before dark to see if the IR is on, I'll let you know. Thanks again for the help.

BigRedFish: Concerning the "light sensor", how can I make sure the cameras are setup correctly so the light sensor is active? Thank you and wittaj for your responses and help, very much appreciated.
