    Honeywell Performance series Nvr reset.

    Indeed, that's the solution I recently used to reset a bricked 16 channel Honeywell NVR (HEN16102). I used this guide for the basis of the firmware recovery and reset. Using a standard DB9 serial cable to USB with a seperate null modem, it worked perfectly. Summary of steps; 1/ Connect serial...

    New Honeywell NVR Issues

    Ignore the web browser for viewing as it should only be used for configuration. Download the Dahua SmartPSS client for either Windows or IOS - it works well.

    New Honeywell NVR Issues

    Download the Dahua GDMSS from iTunes - Dahua is the OEM manufacturer of the Honeywell rebranded NVR.

    New Honeywell NVR Issues

    I have found the only reliable solution is to use Pale Moon browser. I use it exclusively for configuring Honeywell/Dahua cameras. Firefox, Chrome, IE and the associated Dahau browser extensions do not work in my experience.

    Simply use the Dahua proprietary protocol on port 37777 - same as any other Dahua camera.

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Excellent feedback. Unsure why the Dahua Wiki page is using the old firmware file, the newer file (R.20191202) can be downloaded from here. Futhermore, I am curious to why they haven't pushed this firmware update through the Imou mobile app which is still using (R.20180919) as the latest which...

    The DB11 will only connect to a Dahua NVR through the proprietary protocol on port 37777.

    New Dahua Cameras will not remember NTP server

    Like others I've been rather perplexed why the camera DST settings were not persistent until I read your comment. It's not documented anywhere but the NVR will attempt to set the time on the cameras upon connection and when you configure NTP and DST settings on the camera it causes a conflict...

    It will be more than adequate (it looks like a typical CCTV power supply for analogue PTZ cameras)

    I am interested to get your feedback on the firmware upgrade, was it successful?

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    The DB11 does not have a web UI as stated on the datasheet and Wiki, however some parameters can be tweated using the SmartPSS client software which can be download here, though I would be careful doing this as it's an unsupported feature. Changing some parameters may have undesired results...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Long shot, but did you give the upgrade process enough time to reflash and boot-up? In the past I've mistakenly thought the DB11 hadn't booted as there isn't any indicator lights when it's powered and initially the ring button will not respond during the boot cycle. I'd give it at least 5...

    Dahua have posted a new firmware update (dated 20191202) on their Wiki page found here and can be downloaded directly from here. The firmware can be updated using the Config Tool downloaded from here. I've not updated my DB11 yet, so I'd be interested to know about the results.

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    "Tweating" the configuaration is not a supported feature which may be causing the issues, that said, I found changing the video stream to "variable" bit rate from the default "constant" fixed my jerky frames which occurred every 5 seconds or so. I haven't needed to change anything else from the...

    Dahua DB11 Summary - is this best doorbell for now?

    Your model is aDHI-VTO2111D-WP Villa Door Station (VTO) which is a different concept to the DB11 which is intended to be a retrofit for an existing doorbell.

    Dahua DB11 Summary - is this best doorbell for now?

    I am following your example here by using a POE splitter to 12V DC. However, I note the power terminals on the DB11 are not polarity marked either positive (+) or negative (-). How did you know which terminals to connect the DC power source? (not a problem for most people who use AC power)...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Thanks for investigating this for me. It would seem the video door intercom solution requires VTO/VTN combination. As it's a new installation and typically we don't have "wired" doorbells in the UK, I have decided to opt for the DB11 with matching DS11 chime extension. I shall wire in CAT...

    Review-Doorbell DS-11 for use with the Dahua DB-11 video door bell.

    Thank you for sharing the review. Has the stability issues been resolved? Would you also be able to share a photo of the reverse side with the power adapter, as I will probably need to adapt it for British/UK plug socket. Thanks

    Dahua DB11 Summary - is this best doorbell for now?

    Have you been able to get this function working? That is, "ring/notify" my Google Home speakers on doorbell press, and even better display the video on a Nest Hub screen. The Imou IFTT trigger list is rather limited and doesn't list this function. Unless the doorbell integrates directly to...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    With your experience using VTO, would it reliably function without the VTH screen, by purely relying upon P2P push notifications? I am also interested to know whether it's possible to configure an output to trigger when someone pushes the call button, which could be connected to a conventional...

    Review-Dahua DB-11 Video Door Bell

    Is the DB11 the Aston Martin of internet doorbells? :) I am researching various internet connected doorbells, though largely put off by the video subscription requirements that are often necessary for Nest/Google/Ring and generally the inferior video quality. I am asking for a general concensus...
