    Dahua NVR5216 hard reset?

    Can someone please advise how I can do a factory reset for this NVR? A physical reset button is not present on the mainboard. I'm asking to do this as I've already tried powering on/off to soft reset the NVR but keep getting "connection failed" error on mobile app and Smart PSS. I've also...

    Dahua NVR Video Playback Only Allows 24 hours?

    Thanks for the reply. When you say stop each camera, do you mean stop the recording or the playback of each camera?

    Dahua NVR Video Playback Only Allows 24 hours?

    Hi all - I have what I think is a newbie question that I am not able to find a answer on. Why is it that using Smart PSS (or iDMSS Plus) to playback recorded videos that I can only go back up to 24 hours before? I've tried searching in 24-hour increments but the software will just say that...

    iDMSS Plus "user is locked" error after app update

    I've read your first post and attempted to use openvpn on my setup. here's what I've done and I think I got everything working properly. on my netgear router, i've enabled openvpn and dynamic dns (plus setup new account with no-ip.com). i've emailed the openvpn smartphone config to my iphone...

    iDMSS Plus "user is locked" error after app update

    I was not using default pw as that was the first thing I changed when I logged into the admin account. as I said, everything was working fine until the latest ios app update and now it's all weird. how do you check for illegal logins?

    iDMSS Plus "user is locked" error after app update

    after I posted this, I was somehow able to access my feeds again via iDMSS plus but as of just now, they're no longer working again. I now have a incorrect username or password error. Something is definitely fishy with the latest app update :mad:

    iDMSS Plus "user is locked" error after app update

    I've been using the iOS iDMSS Plus app to view my cameras just fine for the better part of the last week since my Dahua NVR/cameras were first installed. I have been using the "admin" account with a modified password without issue. All of that changed earlier today after the latest iOS app...

    And the NVR being on the same network is able to seek out the cameras that's plugged into the external POE switch?

    Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2

    Thanks for the review NAYR. I bought the same DVR along with 6 Dahua starfighter turrets from Andy in late December and finally got everything setup last week. Little did I know that having the cams directly hooked up to the NVR means not being able to access additional options (ie. record to...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    the thing is, there's literally no way to tell what type of nand, good/bad or bottom of the barrel that will come with just about all other memory out there if they don't mention it's optimized for writes. you could argue it's all marketing but i've nothing else to go off of other than asking...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    i got the sandisk mainly for the "high endurance" label supposedly made for dash cams and security cams. it supposedly uses MLC for longevity/reliability. the equivalent Transcend cost quite a bit more. What Samsung would you recommend instead that has MLC nand? I have been using the...
