    Dahua V4.002.0000000.7.R, Build Date: 2024-07-17 firmware

    FWI: I recently installed V4.002.0000000.7.R, Build Date: 2024-07-17 firmware on my NVR 5208-8p-4KSE2 (cameras are IPC-HDW223`E-2S) and noticed that the zoom feature only allows zooming fully out or fully in. Previous versions of firmware allowed partial zooms in and out.

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    I always access the NVR either at the NVR or through web browser on my private network. I seldom use P2P, but that port was open. They were able to log into the admin account. QR code, serial number or password has never been put on the web or made public. I knew Dahua did have a backdoor...

    P2P Safety & Secure?

    Just last week I saw my NVR (Dahua 5208-8p-4KS2E) had rebooted around midnight. I checked the logs and saw a couple of different IP addresses (European IP address) had gain access to the NVR. Luckily, nothing malicious was done, just viewing cameras. I have very strong password for the log in...

    Dahua NVR5208-8P-4KS2E playback buffers whenever it gets to a motion detected section of the video

    I Updated firmware to 4.002.0000007.r, Build date 2024-07-17. Everything seem functional, but whenever I do a playback on a section of video and when it comes to the point when motion was detected, the video the video window goes black and seems to buffer for about 2 seconds before the video...

    Firmware update for NVR 5208-8P-4KS2E?

    I am totally confused after reading (ad nauseam) many of the post on firmware updating and bricking the NVR. I am running 3.126.0000004.0 Build date 2108-12-29. I take it this is Verson 2.0. I have read that to upgrade to version 4.0 I need to upgrade with a lower version of 4.0, prior to...

    Accounts?

    Okay, if someone was able to access the login page of the NVR, How are they able to get into the system without knowing the correct password? BTW, all passwords are strong on my systems.

    Accounts?

    No, I was the only one. System has been operating for 5 years. Yes, I am reading on upgrading the firmware. I just dread I doesn't get bricked.

    Accounts?

    No I am not. After reading people bricking their routers including the NCR5208-8p-4KS2, I decided not to upgrade.

    Accounts?

    Years ago when I first set the NVR up, but then it was disabled.

    Accounts?

    I noticed an account called "service" on my NCR5208-8p-4KS2? Is this a required account? Are there any "required" accounts on the NVR other than admin and user accounts?

    I have a Gold Fortified built home design to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with an 18-foot wide garage door weighing 476 pounds. When a bad hurricane comes my way I have a 1" rigid pipe that I can install in under 5 minutes that will give added wind protection to the center of the door...

    Surge Protection from Lightning

    That setup will protect your NVR at the expense of a blown camera and switch. The surge suppressor is great for induced voltage spikes from lightning, but cannot withstand a direct lightning strike. As for the wire connection, I would use a copper split bolt for the connection of the grounds...

    How to view Dahua cameras without browser plugins

    Microsoft did away with Internet Explorer. But if you still want to use it, you can download and install "OpenInternetExplorer" from GitHub. Explorer was never erased from your system so "OpenInternetExplorer" permits Internet Explorer to continue to be used. Works for both Windows 10 & 11...

    Ethernet over coax question...

    Just be aware that some of the powerline ethernet adapters can trip a Combination arc fault circuit interrupters (CAFCI). I had to get rid of my TP-Link because it would sporadically trip my Siemen's CAFCI 30 amp breaker. So I decided to go with an old router running DD-WRT setup as a wireless...

    western digital hd purple scrapped?

    I would think that since the NVR is running a Linux variant and therefore is formatted with one of the Linux formats. If you are running Windows Subsystem for Linux then you should be able to see the format, or you can boot up with a live distro of Linux to check the drive.

    Latest New NVR5xxx-4KS2 General_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000006.1.R.210709

    The reason I am asking is that version V4.001.0000006.0 (2021-02-8) on the NVR still requires the Internet Explorer NACL plugin. With IE going on the wayside after June 15, 2022, I, therefore, need to upgrade so that Firefox or Edge fully supports accessing the NVR over the ethernet.

    Latest New NVR5xxx-4KS2 General_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000006.1.R.210709

    I have a NVR5208-8P-4KS2 (V2) running V4.001.0000006.0 (2021-02-8) and when I click "Manual Check" for new updates it tells me, "You are using the latest version". Okay I know there are later versions available, so why doesn't the NVR say otherwise?

    Not eligible for Winn 11 Upgrade?!

    You probably have Windows 11 Home version, other versions will encrypt the drive by default. Windows 11 Home version doesn't include BitLocker https://pureinfotech.com/enable-bitlocker-device-encryption-windows-11-home/

    Not eligible for Winn 11 Upgrade?!

    Win 11 requires TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and will automatically encrypt your drive! Having retired from a huge enterprise network system I can tell you the horrors of drive encryption. First off, it will slow down your computer. Second, if your drive were to crash chances are extremely...

    I have one of these and it works great for 95% of my troubleshooting. It isn't a "professional" tool, but I used it in troubleshooting large networks, and it is INEXPENSIVE! https://www.ebay.com/itm/294054116773 Here is a youtube showing its use.

    NVR or not NVR, that is the question?

    Guys, thanks for the great information. BTW, the reason I am asking is that the location is at a remote entrance to a subdivision. I personally have an NVR and 8 IPC-WDW2231R-ZS varifocal cameras around the perimeter of my house, and I favor this setup. I spec'd out a similar setup with 4 new...
