    NVR5XXX-4KS2 latest new firmware.

    Are these functions added since DH_NVR5XXX-4K_Eng_V3.215.0000000.1.R.20170901? Both versions are V3.215.00000001 but the new version has another 8KB of code. Is the difference only multi-language support, as would be implied by the same V3.215.0000001 base, or is this string meaningless? Thanks

    Idmss push notifications "failed to subscribe"

    @DarkHelmet thanks. I'll try the factory reset on the NVR when I eventually get around to updating the software.

    Idmss push notifications "failed to subscribe"

    @DarkHelmet Connected to WiFi at home and viewing live video on the iPhone through iDMSS from the NVR and able to subscribe to Push Notifications on the cameras, but when trying to subscribe to Push Notifications from the NVR, I still get "Failed to subscribe", and I don't actually receive any...

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

    @dzimm27 - there have long been issues with daylight savings time. A simple workaround is to just uncheck the daylight savings time option and then change your time zone twice a year.

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

    For the NVR5216-4KS2 (without PoE ports) the power supply is an external brick, so the internal heat load is lessened (as is the noise). The fan header for the case fan that blows across the circuit board is 5v, which is why I used a 5v replacement fan. (Many 12v fans won't even start at this...

    @jesd03 & @giomania My NVR5216-4KS2 has a 5v fan. Details of the Noctua fan swap ares on this thread: Dahua NVR Quiet Silent Fan Mod

    Dahua NVR Quiet Silent Fan Mod

    Hi @Kinchyle - I tried a single SilverStone Technology PWM Fan RPM Reduction Cable, and it got a 40 mm Noctua 5v A-Series Cooling Fan down to the same noise level as the Western Digital drive. Next I cut a hole in the case top to get better airflow to the fan, which was then covered with a...

    Dahua latest stable firmware + Best Practice Reminder

    Hi Andy @EMPIRETECANDY . Sorry for my slang. General_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_Eng_N_Stream3_V2.460.0000.15.R.20170907.bin loaded onto the IPC-HDW4231EMP-AS cameras without any problems and is working fine. What do you mean about making both series the same firmware? Do you mean all starlight cameras? The...

    @EMPIRETECANDY General_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_Eng_N_Stream3_V2.460.0000.15.R.20170907.bin did the trick with the IPC-HDW4231EMP-AS cameras. Thanks!

    Hi Andy @EMPIRETECANDY - here is a direct copy from the Version Tab of the unbranded IP CAMERA IPC-HDW4231EMP-AS P/N 10 01 04 18010 System Version 2.460.0000.15.R, Build Date: 2017-09-07 WEB Version 3.2.1.492613 ONVIF Version 16.12(V2.3.1.458331)

    Dahua latest stable firmware + Best Practice Reminder

    Hi Andy @EMPIRETECANDY - All I can pull off of the version information on the cameras is PAL V2.460.0000.15 Build Date 2017-09-07

    Dahua latest stable firmware + Best Practice Reminder

    @Crazykiller Most of the cameras in this order from @EMPIRETECANDY came with general .15 firmware showing "IP Camera". I don't believe that Andy installed it, as he is still trying to get a copy to send me to update the two that came with the .14 firmware.

    Dahua latest stable firmware + Best Practice Reminder

    Four of six newly arrived starlight cameras have V2.460.0000.15 Build Date 2017-09-07 (which has initialization that looks the same as .16), but two of the IPC-HDW4231EM-AS have a noticeably older V2.460.0000.14 Build Date 2017-07-20. In most regions, the Dahua site has V2.460.0000000.16 Build...

    Dahua latest stable firmware + Best Practice Reminder

    @Crazykiller Thanks! The hardware reset button wasn't so magic, but the .14 firmware did the trick. Once it was recovered, I tried upgrading the IPC-HDW4231EM-AS to the PAL .16 firmware, but got the same results again, so it's back to .14 and has good video again. Andy @EMPIRETECANDY , you can...

    @Crazykiller Thanks, and sorry, I meant to mention Andy @EMPIRETECANDY , but accidentally deleted it when editing my post.

    Dahua latest stable firmware + Best Practice Reminder

    Hi Andy - The IPC-HDW4231EM-AS 6.0 mm cameras came with V2.460.0000000.14 PAL firmware (unbranded "IP Camera"), and the cameras had good video. I upgraded one of them to Dahua branded [NTSC]DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_EngSpnFrn_N_Stream3_V2.460.0000000.16.R.20170904 firmware, and I can log in, but can no...

    Dahua NVR Quiet Silent Fan Mod

    If you go fanless, wall mounting the NVR with the vents top and bottom should enable some convection airflow.

    A reducer cable would be a lot less work (and cheaper) than transplanting to a different case.

    Dahua NVR Quiet Silent Fan Mod

    The top of the Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 case isn't really cut out to support smooth airflow through the little fan. I tried the 40mm Noctua 5v fan in place of the stock fan, but it was still far too loud for my preference (with and without the case top off). For now I have the case top off and an old...

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

    I have more or less sorted out Intrusion Zones and Trip Wires and have done a little with the object size. Is there a rule of thumb for the blue box such as 1/2 the size of a human? IVS used to consistently email attached photos, which helped me see what was working, but since upgrading to...

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

    weigle2 - thanks. I have configured IVS both direct to the camera and in the NVR, and regardless of the method, they appear the same when I check in the NVR and the camera, so is it safe to assume that in the case both methods are producing the same results? My frustration has been triggering...

    Idmss push notifications "failed to subscribe"

    I am able to subscribe to push notification from multiple starlight cameras, but from the NVR I get "failed to subscribe" even though I can view the NVR live stream. (This sounds like the same issue that everybody is having.) NVR5216-4KS2 - DH_NVR5XXX-4K_Eng_V3.215.0000000.1.R.20170901 IDMSS...

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

    weigle2 - thank you very much for the recommendation from Andy. While I did the additional factory resets, I eventually found the root cause, which was me forgetting to click the lightbulb icon on the EVENT > SMART PLAN page to enable IVS. Not a really intuitive HMI, and the users manual on the...

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

    I just upgraded my Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 to DH_NVR5XXX-4K_Eng_V3.215.0000000.1.R.20170901 and my starlight cameras to DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_EngSpnFrn_N_Stream3_V2.460.0000000.16.R.20170904 and IVS stopped working. (I did a factory reset on all devices prior to the upgrade.) On the IVS setup page the...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

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

    Will Dahua ever issue another official (non-beta) firmware for the NVR5216-4KS2? The official download from NVR5208/5216/5232-4KS2 | Dahua Technology, which my NVR came with, is DH_NVR5XXX-4K_Eng_V3.210.0002.2.R.20160721. After the very public botnet issue, I would think that they would have a...

    Having problem getting the time to sync.

    I am under the impression that your NVR is behind a firewall and the only way to access it is through a VPN. Did you add a firewall rule to open Port 123 to and from the NVR IP to get time sync from utcnist.colorado.edu?

    Network Security Primer

    I gave up on getting VLANs functioning with DD-WRT on a Linksys 1900WRT and went with a Peplink Pepwave Surf SOHO, which is an affordable ($199) commercial grade router that supports VLANs and VPNs. Setting up a VLAN on a router port was quite easy. Router Security (I have no relationship with...

    Network Security Primer

    While I prefer wired security system sensors (and most of mine are), Ademco Vista alarm systems can be programmed to alarm when RF jamming is detected. Of course a burglar or troll could just repeatedly set off the alarm from a block away until you get tired of paying for false responses or...
