    Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2

    Thanks Just skimming thru the manual I noticed something. On the the front of my NVR I see the Status light is blue. I looked in the manual and it says "The blue light is on when the device is malfunction." What does this mean exactly?

    I am also waiting for the word from @EMPIRETECANDY for when I can order these cams from him. I hope I don't have to wait too long.

    Is your network only at risk if you view from public wifi or a friends house (who may not have a secure network) Or are you at risk no matter what even when on the cellular network Just trying to understand.

    Question about system setup

    I have the dahua nvr5216-4ks2 and I have an 8 port Poe switch for my cameras. My main question is do I connect the NVR to the router directly and then the switch to the router directly? I've tried searching but that question still gets me. I wanna say that's how I do it but not 100% sure.

    @nayr does it matter if my modem can host a VPN server or is a capable router a better option?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Ahhh I didn't realize or fully understand when you connect to the VPN. Good to know. Another question then... Can you elaborate on what you mean by saying that any device (for me, my NVR) that is on my lan 100% of the time that I won't need to anything related to the VPN. Do you mean that I...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    If I set up a VPN on my home network (for the security system) does every electronic unit that wants access to my wifi in the house have to then sign into the VPN? Or can it be configured that only my NVR need to be signed in. Just thinking that it's gonna be a pain for multiple members in...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2

    This is the non-Poe port version. For those who have and are using this model can you tell me how noisy this nvr is? What about the heat output? In pictures I don't see a fan on the back of the unit... is there a different fan in this model or none at all thus making this near silent?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    So I really want to get a VPN setup on my home network because I value security however after researching for a few hours I have learned that my current router (Linksys E4200 V2) does not support DD-WRT. This was a bummer to learn and has put me back at the starting line. I am now thinking...

    I can't speak for it yet but I just bought the NVR5216-4KS2 yesterday from @EMPIRETECANDY . I have read nothing but great reviews so far from people on here who have it. I recommend buying from Andy (EMPIRETECANDY) ... he seems like a great guy and does his best to answer/help with any...

    Camera for attic

    I wouldn't do that. You'll get a lot of glare from the window and it will make your picture look like crap. Mount it outside.

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Does a single cat 5 cable running to this camera (or any ptz) from a Poe switch or Poe capable nvr power the camera? Or do you need an additional power supply?

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

    Thank you for the help. Honestly my brain is mush right now having researched ideas, builds, equipment, etc. My plan is to run at least 8 ip cams, recording 24/7, with remote viewing on iPhone. I would say I am 50/50 on buying the NVR5216-4KS2 with or without the Poe ports. Honestly don't...

    I am looking at this same NVR for my home however I am having a hard time deciding if I need one with POE ports built in or one without them (I understand if I get one with them built in that I would need to get a POE Switch). I am not concerned about fan noise as the location of this will be...
