Didn't work for me either, except I can't even edit the overlay page. The channel title options are all greyed out.

I had the same issue, the camera channel names don't save for non-Dahua cameras. Unable to rename 3rd party/Onvif cameras on Dahua XVR/NVR

Well I think most modern systems made in the last few years already have h.265 encoding. In my experience, the difference between the two has always been substantial, especially with the higher resolutions where you'll see a big difference.

Is the calculator programmed for h.264 or h.265?

Changing the video decoding in SmartPSS doesn't solve the issue. For some reason the bitrate jumps up to 15-20k then back down even though it's set at 2048 in the XVR.

The user avspin said you are “opening yourself up” by using P2P, but if you do so over OpenVPN you’re magically immune from compromise. It’s just a ridiculous assumption that by transferring your trust from one set of code to another you’re somehow enhancing your security. OpenVPN can certainly...

No need to. Maybe when you figure out what security theater is we can have a nuanced discussion. The person above you was actually on the right track.

Thanks for your pointless contribution.

Plenty of reasons not to use a VPN. https://openvpn.net/security-advisories/

There’s no reason to not use P2P unless you’re in government or on a corporate network. Simply changing the default credentials will deter 99% of threats. If you want to go through the headache of setting up and using a VPN for security theater that’s your decision.

I'd recommend using ConfigTool.

Yes if you have P2P enabled.

I don't understand your 2nd question. The NVR you listed says the LAN port is gigabit.

I prefer NVR's when dealing only with IP cameras. They're designed specifically for IP cameras and usually have a higher network capability and better camera compatibility overall.

The IDEAL cat5e rj45 ends I get from Lowe's work fine with cat6.

For...?

Cat5e is the minimum. Cat6a is the standard going forward. There’s no reason to ever use basic CAT5 today.

37777 is the TCP port for dahua cameras. I’ve never seen the HTTP port as that. Have you tried resetting them from ConfigTool?

Have you tried completing the upgrade with ConfigTool?

Happens with analog cameras too.

edit: Found a working firmware for anyone else having this problem DH_NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V3.216.0000002.0.R.190102.bin V3 to V4 is when the GUI changed.

The problem doesn’t occur on DMSS, either over P2P or LAN, so it doesn’t appear to be network related. I will try the hardware acceleration option and report back.

I’ve also had this problem for greater than a year now.

Using IE with plugins installed. The camera device name reflects the changes made, the NVR does not.

Thanks, but unfortunately I still have the same issue. Camera name doesn't change or simply reverts back to IPC. I'm at a loss.

Well, like I said, already tried that. The channel name still doesn’t save.

This is a fairly recent issue with I've been having with Dahua that I've found no solution for. So in essence, there seems to be no way to rename the channels for 3rd party cameras (Herospeed firmware) on either XVR's or NVR's. Every time you attempt to rename the channels either through...
