    Can't use USB port on NVR anymore.

    I have a NVR5416-16P-4KS2E NVR downstairs. There's two USB ports in the back. One is used by my mouse. The mouse doesn't move anymore. The other USB port is used by an ethernet to USB adapter. If I connect the mouse to a PC, the mouse works. There's also a USB port on the front of the NVR...

    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    Two way audio.

    I have a Dahua NVR5416-16P-4KS2 NVR and Dahua 5231R-ZE cameras. Is it possible to install or configure two-way audio, so that I can talk, and have it outputted through one of the camera's microphones? I'm thinking of having audio sent back to the front door camera. Ideally I'd launch the...

    Did I just block my sunsetter solar shade with a gazebo?

    I had the Sunsetter solar shade installed in 2015. I had the gazebo, on the right of the pic, installed a few days ago. Did I completely block the solar panel? Or is there there less light, but still sufficient light, to allow it to power? https://i.imgur.com/Jj6UkBa.jpg Here's a few from...

    Basic IVS question about Dahua NVR.

    I have a NVR5416-16P-4KS2 NVR. Is IVS used for the live feed, or can it also be used for recordings? For example, I saw something about setting up face detection (and even an option for a specific gender). If I enable it, will it return results for only a live feed (for example, if there are...

    Smart Codec.

    What does this do? Does setting smart codec to "open" save space? Is there a reduction in image quality? How does smart codec work?

    Can someone post a screen shot or video of a bad low light camera?

    Did anyone buy a bad low light camera (any brand), and have a screen shot or video? I just had the HDW5231R-ZE installed. I had read and seen videos of it. I just want to compare with something bad, in low light, so I can see the difference. Thanks.

    Dahua 5231R-ZE Recording Rule Profiles.

    Is it possible to set a recording rule where if it sees my face, then don't record? What about if it sees my face and it's between a certain time range, then don't record?

    What if I need another hardwired port?

    I just bought a new router a few weeks ago, the ASUS AC2900, to set up a VPN. Currently I have 3 ports in use (Ooma Telo; PC; Tivo DVR). The NVR for the cameras will use the 4th port. What if I needed another hardwired port? What device should I get to add to the network, that would also be...

    Power cord for Dahua NVR5416-16P-4KS2 NVR.

    @EMPIRETECANDY I want a longer power cord so it can reach my interrupted power supply. The power cord has 3 female prongs at the end that it plugs into the NVR, and 2 prongs where it plugs into the wall. What's a replacement power cord that's at least 6 feet long that I can get? Can someone...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    What's the difference between getting a camera vs. an IP camera? How can I get help with installation? Is there a service that will install for me? Can someone do a site evaluation first? I know Best Buy's Geek Squad does it. It's $100 for a 90 minute site evaluation. Are there any other...
