    Connecting NVR to Smart TV (for live view/playback) via Local Network (not LAN cable)

    Thank you all for your speedy replies, very much appreciated. The Smart TV I would like to connect to wirelessly, to view live stream/playback, from the NVR is a Samsung TV so I think this is Tizen (Samsung) OS - it's a fairly new TV. In hindsight, I should have run a 'spare' HDMI cable to this...

    Connecting NVR to Smart TV (for live view/playback) via Local Network (not LAN cable)

    Seasons greetings to all. I was wondering whether there is a way to use a Smart TV, via a local/home network, as a monitor for Live View and Playback rather than purchasing a dedicated monitor and using a LAN cable? I've a predicament: I can't easily run a LAN cable from my NVR to any of my...

    PTZ Dropping Image Feed

    The NVR and PTZ haven't been used for about 3 years (not related to the issue I'm now facing). Prior to this the PTZ feed was uninterrupted. The PTZ and CAT cable haven't been touched and it can't be a vermin issue, but after your comment (thank you) the obvious culprit is the connection. The...

    PTZ Dropping Image Feed

    I've got a DH-SD59430U PTZ connected to a DHI-NVR5216-16P-4KS2E. The image feed keeps dropping sporadically – sometimes for many hours, sometimes for a few minutes – with no obvious pattern or reason. The PTZ is ‘static’ i.e. it’s not scanning an area or moving and no trip wires etc set up...

    DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000003.1.R.200813

    This really does need sorting out and quickly. I don't think it's asking much that so-called 'updated' firmware works as it should rather than creating more issues than it resolves - minor bugs are to be expected but judging from the helpful feedback from @tigerwillow1 and others, the bugs...

    DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000003.1.R.200813

    Thanks also to @tigerwillow1 for such a detailed post. I was also contemplating updating, but like @looney2ns mentioned, it just seems too risky right now, so I'm going to leave it for now and stick with V3 as at least it works and I'm using V3.216.0000004.0 Build Date: 2018-12-29

    IVS Tripwire on Dahua

    I know this is an old thread but still a very useful one and a great viewpoint presented by @catcamstar of the difference between an alarm system and Video surveilance system - it's certainly helped me understand their respective roles.

    Latest Firmware for Dahua NVR 5216-16P 4KS2E - UK Based?

    I'm confused about whether my NVR is running the latest firmware. According to 'UPGRADE' via Web Service it states: System Version: V3.216.0000004.0 Build Date: 2018-12-29 'It is the latest version' But when I checked here: https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/19851?us It's...

    gDMSS issue - unable to connect outside local network

    Just to complete the circle should others have a similar issue. In my NVR UI in TCP/IP there is a check button for DHCP (which I'd correctly checked from day one). However there is a further DHCP check button in the IP address 'Edit' area under Mode whch I wasn't aware of, and that was set to...

    Thanks to all for assistance, I have eventually got gDMSS to work via 4G i.e. outside of my LAN. 3 weeks of effort and finally sorted!

    gDMSS issue - unable to connect outside local network

    @aabs I agree! I'll go back the absolute basics to clarify my set up and the issue so hopefully this will shed some light on where I'm going wrong in the set up to view live footage via gDMSS: Simple Home set-up - cams connected directly to NVR and all work fine. NVR/Cam Web-interfaces (via...

    gDMSS issue - unable to connect outside local network

    Thanks for your patience and help @Securame , I do appreciate it. I think I'm starting to understand things better...... "If you are connecting by IP, of course you can only connect from inside the network " - I didn't know that, I had no idea at all that this is how things worked, sorry. So...
