    Dahua NVR purchase advice - would like latest software/interface

    Hi Thanks for replying, strangely I had recently printed out the XI specs and was comparing them to the EI, and noticed the same thing so was leaning towards the XI, on the assumption it also had the new interface. I've currently gone down the rabbit hole of looking at other brands and...

    Dahua NVR purchase advice - would like latest software/interface

    Hi Thanks for the reply, my current cameras are IPC-HDBW5421E-Z which again I think are from 2016 but they've been a huge leap forward from the system I previously had, and the zoom lens is fantastic. I currently only have 3, but am looking to expand as I'm currently running my original...

    Dahua NVR purchase advice - would like latest software/interface

    Hi I'm hoping someone can help me, I've realised some issues I've had with my NVR4416 are because it's from 2016 and probably never had a software update from the day it was set up, I've tried to update without success and it seems doing this now could cause some issues, so I've going to...

    Dahua NVR 4416 settings view & camera IP address

    It is strange indeed, I will try plugging in the laptop, and see how that goes. Otherwise I will leave things as is, it would be nice to have a play, but the pictures are good with the settings I have on the 2 cameras I've installed, and the zoom lens gives a much better setup than my existing...

    Dahua NVR 4416 settings view & camera IP address

    Yes I can see all the registered users in a list, and appear to have the power to add/delete so thought I had the correct controls, I originally logged in under a '888888' account Which I though was also a master account. The pic below shows my account permissions which are the same as the...

    Dahua NVR 4416 settings view & camera IP address

    Thank you both, I feel I am edging closer to a solution! I think that is correct in that I have logged into my DVR via it's IP address in IE mode of Microsoft Edge (will be looking at other browser options later) My web interface look like what bigredfish has posted but I am missing some...

    Dahua NVR 4416 settings view & camera IP address

    Hi I think that's the newer NVR software which looks a bit more straightforward than mine which is a 2016 build model, and looks like the picture below when viewed directly on the NVR, and still different to yours on the web interface, not sure if I can update it, or if I am that brave...

    Dahua NVR 4416 settings view & camera IP address

    Thanks for the IP confirmation, I don't recall seeing a blue 'e' I wonder if that's a feature of the later software, but I will have a look for it tomorrow, now that I have something to look for. Thanks again

    Dahua NVR 4416 settings view & camera IP address

    Hi I've been searching around for ages and can't find anyone else that has had this issue. I'm new to IP cameras and have managed to finally access my DVR via internet explorer mode and the IP address. I understand you need to do this to access the full camera settings. I have two identical...
