    Dahua XVR7416L Dual HDMI

    Just for anyone else having this issue. Apparently HDMI2 will only display analogue channels and not IP. Not a lot of use really but there you go.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    OK I still haven't worked out what's wrong here as I did initially use the NVR admin/pass account for the camera. Creating a new user solved that one but again unsure why. I've just added a second camera and this time I left the NVR to it's own devices without altering the default settings...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Thanks for the reply. I did let the NVR initialise the camera but it failed to connect. However I've now got it working but don't know why.

    I've a few Mobotix cameras and am trying to add them to my Dahua XVR7416L but I can't get them to display. Have also attempted via SmartPSS but still no luck. I'm not sure if Mobotix cameras can even be added as they're not listed as a protocol type in SmartPSS or via the NVR setup. Anyone...
