Got it. I reset the camera on 12V only. Then reset the NVR to factory defaults (again). I reconnected the cameras one by one, and it finally picked up the trouble camera. It still wasn't happy about something, because it showed that camera in the top panel with an X beside it, and at the...

Yep, hit the reset button a dozen times now. Held it for different amounts of time, from 5 seconds through to over a minute. Still no dice. So to confirm; using the reset button should put the camera in the "initialising" state?

Ok, I went to 192.168.1.108, did the initial setup, set the password to the same as the NVR, the IP to 10.1.1.67, and the gateway to 10.1.1.1 then logged out. When plugged into the NVR, the camera connected (yay!!) and displayed the live image. I then entered my NVR's IP into the browser, and...

I'm really struggling here - not sure what I'm doing wrong with this last camera, but I just won't connect to the NVR. I have bought a POE NVR and 4 cameras from Andy, plugged them in one at a time, and they show up no problem. I plug in the last camera, and ... nothing. Reset it, tried a...

Ok, so the NVR is now updated to the latest Dahua firmware (thanks Andy). I won't say it was an entirely stress-free operation though ... I have three of four cameras installed now, two permanently. The front door camera is the covert IPC-HUM8431-E1 and IPC-HUM8431-L3 kit, and looks pretty...

Ok cool :thumb: Do I just use the firmware from the Dahua website?

Thanks Andy. I only just purchased it - it arrived a couple of days ago and just setting it up now.

Umm ... will I brick my NVR from Andy if I update it?

Many thanks to everyone who has given their opinions and helped me with this - I really appreciate it I ended up buying an NVR and four cameras (since buying a single camera and working upwards from there with wasn't an option unfortunately). NVR5216-16P-4KS2E IPC-HDW3841T-ZAS (Vari-focal...

Just read this thread on the IPC-HFW7442H-Z for ANPR - I'm very impressed (of course). Even if I do not use it for this project, that is exactly what my parents need for their upgrade. If I went for the 8MP version instead of the 4MP version, what would that gain me @EMPIRETECANDY? With decent...

Nice! That mini-wedge looks not too bad. I'd just need to convince the other half to ruin our fancy wallpaper... The IPC-HDBW4231FP-AS has a similar lens and sensor to IPC-HDBW2431F-AS-S2 (the 4MP version of the mini wedge) - surely I'd get a similar image? From looking through the spec...

I have a lot of experience with designing, building, and fixing electronics and other things, but not cameras specifically. Basically I just don't want a giant camera hanging down in your face as soon as you walk in the front or back door. I saw that Dahua have 'covert' cameras available under...

Thanks for the input guys - some good food for thought already. This is definitely not meant to be a "security system" as in 'prevention' - I'm looking at other avenues for that side of things. Thanks @aristobrat :thumb: Bang on there, and the main purpose of my post is to find this out ...

Howdy everyone :wave: First post here; please let me know if it is misplaced. I'm in a bit of an average situation at the moment, a bit scared of some people out for 'retribution' ... unfortunately they have the wrong guy! But I can't seem to convince them of that. Being a decent law-abiding...
