    Hikvision - Noise/Quality Problem - $50 Reward!

    Any luck talking to support (sometimes they can actually be helpful :notrust:) to see if anyone else had the same issues. Maybe returning or exchanging the NVR.

    Qsee/dahua 4mp system on sale at costco

    Something to think about before you buy. When researching cam systems earlier this year I found Lorex systems were not ONVIF compliant and using different cameras might be a problem later on. Here's one notice they put on their website: * The camera is not ONVIF compliant and it cannot be...

    HDBW4421R Install Pics with Wall Mount

    Last week I replaced a couple bullet cams with two 4MP HDBW4421R. They are 3 axis adjustable and 3.6mm. I bought them new from a vendor on ebay and one came with Chinese firmware and the other English...?? No big deal. The only thing I had to change was that they were set up to auto reboot...

    Motion Detection web GUI Question

    Is that feature the same as "Smart Search" that Q-See/Dahua has. Even though the cam is on continuous record it allows you to watch through up to 24 hours and only show clips with motion. It starts with a grid where you mark off what areas you want to watch. Works pretty good but it depends...

    Dahua 4216 Stopped working

    Could it be one of the cpu, power supply or case fans not working properly (clicking noise....) causing the board to not work right...? Turn it off for about 30 minutes and see if it starts working normally for awhile...

    Watching Cameras on TV using Roku and Samsung Tablet

    That's a good way to do that. :) Might get Blue Iris sometime in the future. My TV browser won't download a plugin to make it work.

    Watching Cameras on TV using Roku and Samsung Tablet

    I haven't tried that app yet. It is confusing though. My phone will connect to the TV and send videos. The Samsung tablet won't connect to the TV directly but only goes through the Roku player. Nothing tech on my part I just got it working by accident. :)

    Watching Cameras on TV using Roku and Samsung Tablet

    It's actually not any app. I just leave the Roku on the home screen. The screen is basically showing whatever is on my Samsung tablet. The app on the tablet is for the Q-See cameras.

    Watching Cameras on TV using Roku and Samsung Tablet

    Samsung has a tool called "Screen Mirroring" that searches for devices on your network to show the display on. (I use a Galaxy Tab A) The problem was I never could get this to work with our TV :confused: unless it connected through the Roku 3 player. Now I can view the cameras on the Q-See app...

    NVR + 16CH POE quiet solution?

    Welcome to the forum...! Sometimes it's just a matter of finding which fan is making all the racket and replacing it with a quieter one such as a Noctua fan for example. Amazon is one place that sells them. On my NVR (QC8816 ) I had a case fan install upside down at the factory which caused it...

    Some (Dahua) QC8816 NVR fan noise louder than others.

    I don't know about the audio. With my setup I'm not really interested in audio capabilities. The wireless mouse I'm using is Logitech M510. $25 on Amazon. I also have used a cheaper one by SIIG.

    Some (Dahua) QC8816 NVR fan noise louder than others.

    I also received two HDBW4421R cameras. They have Chinese firmware but they work fine with the 8816 menu system. I asked the seller if he could send me english firmware for this camera. I'll just have to figure out how to do it properly by reading some threads on here about it. If all else...

    Some (Dahua) QC8816 NVR fan noise louder than others.

    It's for a wireless mouse. On the Q-see website knowledgebase Q&A they will tell you that a wireless mouse won't work. Mine works fine. I also use the other rear port with an external drive for back ups but unhooked it for the picture. The USB port in the front I use with a flash drive for...

    Some (Dahua) QC8816 NVR fan noise louder than others.

    I noticed the glue on the fan.. ?? You might take a closer look at your case fan to see if it lines up with the vent. Mine was upside down and wasn't lined up because the wires on the bottom were pushing it up. If you turn it so the wires are on top the fan can set down more in that slot...

    Some (Dahua) QC8816 NVR fan noise louder than others.

    I've read many reviews about the QC8816 making noise compared to a jet fighter taking off, loud clicking, buzzing or just plain noisy...Some actually returned the system to Costco because of the noise. On the other hand many reviews stated that it was quiet and not a problem... I guess I got...

    Got my Dahua 4MP IPC-HDBW4421R-AS 2.8mm

    I'll definately put up a pic of that power supply my friend as soon as I get a chance. It could be this weekend if my "Honey-do" list is not too long.. :onthego: It might be a good idea to start another thread..."Noisy NVR" or something like that......

    Yeah. Not going to rip it apart to look right now but tried different apps held about foot away according to directions. No matter if this machine was noisy my wife would put me and it out in the barn... :headphones:

    Welcome Matt.... You've come to the right place for help. Maybe try re-posting your question under Hardware.

    Got my Dahua 4MP IPC-HDBW4421R-AS 2.8mm

    Ours is very quiet and you can't hear it when you leave the room. It's quieter than the 2 new Dell desktops in my office. Like I was saying I'm not sure about the accuracy of those phone apps but I didn't know what else to use for a reference except it's quiet.... :)
