    Dahua NVR will not find either of my two Dahua IPCs

    Thanks. The problem I have is that the NVR is not located so that it can take input directly from the cameras. I have a POE switch connected to the cameras.

    Dahua NVR will not find either of my two Dahua IPCs

    unfortunately that has not worked for me (EDIT: IT HAS HALF WORKED!!). To recap on what i have done - Physical reset of both cameras - Manually sett ip address of one, but the second one would not allow me in (after I had changed pass), and it stated "account locked"! - In order to continue to...

Both cameras are running into my POE switch. 3. Assinged laptop a suitable ip. Successfully logged into the...

    My ISP does not allow VPN - what alternative is available?

    thanks guys. I think I have made progress. My ISP provided modem/router has a DMZ option. I have put the ip address of my own 3rd party router into the DMZ setting of the ISPs router. Now I have a camera connected to my own router. When I enter the ip address of that camera in my browser, while...

    My ISP does not allow VPN - what alternative is available?

    Hey all posted this already, but in the wrong forum perhaps. My ISP (i am not USA based) will not facilitate a VPN. I am forced to use their own modem/router, which is almost completely locked down. Is there any alternative to allow me view my cameras from any connection outside my LAN...

    My ISP does not support VPN - alternate way to view my ipc remotely?

    hi all unfortuntaly my ISP does not support VPN, nor am I tech savvy enough to exploit a loophole (if there is one). I assume I can still port forward, but read here that this is not recommended. Is there an alternate way? What i want to end up with is where i can view my Dahau IP cams from...

    So I've got a 2mp Starlight (5231R-Z), what camera is next?

    Having read a lot here from knowledgeable folk, I went ahead and purchased two of 2MP Starlight HDW5231R-Z turrets. I have eventually had the time to set them up, and am quite happy with the purchase. So, I am looking for cameras number 3 and 4. Perhaps another outdoor and one for indoors...

    cannot find network host (ip is 10.1.1.67)

    an update on this - i have a second camera which is not yet mounted in its final position yet. I plugged the camera into a switch, and the switch into my laptop. The Smart PSS software found the camera, once again. However, this time, the IP of the camera was in the 192.168.x.xxx range. I went...

    cannot find network host (ip is 10.1.1.67)

    Cannot get any feed from my newly installed (on a wall of my house), dahua startlight camera. I did trial run a couple months back that did work. I have my cat6 cable connected to the camera, with the other end of that run connected to a network switch. I then have a cable from the switch into...

    Has anybody built or bought a fan cooled cabinet for their NVR?

    Thanks Nayr. I have not moved into the new house yet. Have the NVR beside me here, but haven't plugged it in yet! I know it will need to be dead quiet due to the location beside the bedroom, hence my question. I am always a bit apprehensive about Chinese products due to the poorly written...

    I guess I ask to wrong question. Isn't Blue Iris better?

    Should I have gone with Blue Iris instead of NVR?

    Seen as I will use my cell phone to access my IP camera system remotely, I think I have made a mistake in choosing a Dahua NVR instead of a PC server and BlueIRIS. Is there anything I can do to improve things?

    Has anybody built or bought a fan cooled cabinet for their NVR?

    Tks. I was thinking of getting an old filing cabinet. Drilling two 120mm holes on it for fans. Then line the inside with pyramid foam. Any thoughts?

    Has anybody built or bought a fan cooled cabinet for their NVR?

    Just trying to deal with the noise from my Dahua NVR and thought that I might try build an acoustically insulated closed cabinet, with super quiet fans, in order to try reduce the overall noise output from my NVR. Has anybody made a unit, or bought something off the shelf quite cheaply and...

    A couple of questions on my Dahua NVR (HDD installation, fan noise )

    The location is actually to the side of m bedroom. Attic is converted but there is remaining attic space at the eaves and this was the best place to home run this cat6 cable to. Weather here not never gets above 80F.
