    Can I change the IP address from the cameras webpage?

    I have already installed and changed 6 cameras but it has been a couple years since then. I know I haven’t used ipconfig tool to change them in the past. Can I simply go to 192.168.1.108 and go to the TCP/IP settings pages within the camera and change the up there to something else? I can’t...

    User error with Dahua NVR5216-4KS2

    Is your computer in that picture in the same network range as the NVR? If it’s not then that might explain why you can’t access your nvr when going to its IP address.

    Lost Signal After Whole House Fan Install

    Reading thru this thread it does seem like a bad switch. I hope you can get this squared away. Where did you buy the switch? Amazon or directly from BV?

    I’d like to see a low profile dome ptz with auto tracking

    I looked on Dahua’s site but didn’t find anything. I would be very interested in a 2mp star light dome ptz that has auto tracking, IR, and IP67. Low profile like the domes we all know.... the bigger ptz’s available are too big and noticeable for my particular use. Hopefully something...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Maybe I don’t understand enough. I spent part of the weekend googling “how to use a vpn” and the only thing people write about is how to set one up. When my phone is connected to the vpn is all of my traffic that I do then secure and encrypted automatically? Like when I use safari or any...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    No I understand that. You still need internet access to connect to the vpn. I thought I read somewhere that you could use your home internet connection as well for safer browsing?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Another question When you are connected to the vpn does anyone know how to actually use the internet service from your home on your phone/tablet/computer? Example, when browsing safari you are using your home internet access instead.

    Best network security practices for new Dahua setup

    Does everyone recommend blocking internet access for the NVR as well? I already have all my cameras blocked from the router it self. Is that enough?

    DAHUA RECORDERS HACKED

    I have a VPN set up on my network and I have all cameras blocked from accessing the Internet via the router. Do you think I need to block my NVR from accessing the Internet as well via the router?

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    I don't have NTP setup on my NVR or any of my cameras... right now they are just maintained by the system time (on the top of the page). My times are not staying up to date with the actual time (they are actually a minute or 2 faster than the actual time so I would like to be able to use NTP to...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    I was planning on upgrading from the NVR menu itself and not from the web interface. Is it OK to do so directly from the NVR? I really only access the NVR from the NVR itself (and not Smart PSS or anything like that)

    If I go the 12 vdc power adapter route for testing can I simply then just connect a cat cable from the cam to my laptop to view the feed? Viewing the feed from the appropriate cam ip. I think yes but not 100% certain.
