This is a 16 port POE nvr that I just purchased and I cannot figure out how to navigate to the setup menu.

I have a 7600 series Hikvision NVR and am trying to add a Dahua dome IP camera to it using onvif. My DVR has the 8 port POE and a private network with range 192.168.254.#. I know I will probably not have access to PTZ functionality which is ok. I changed the IP address of the camera to...

I have the DS-7600 series with the DS-2CD2042WD-I bullets. I had to swap out my UPS and decided to clean up wiring. So I shut down my NVR, disconneced the camera network cables. After bringing everything back up, two of my cameras now show no link. My model NVR has the POE Ports with and...

All of my cameras are stuck in IR mode. I tested one by holding a finger over the IR opening and there is no click. I have 7 Hikvision cameras and one Duhua. The Duhua is not connected to the NVR as I have it on a separate POE switch and it has switched to 'Day' ok. This was without any signs...

I have an 8 port poe Hikvsion nvr DS-7608) and trying to add a (Dahua) DH-SD22A204TN-GNI. First time I tried to do this, I bricked the camera by thinking the problem was firmware. I was lucky in being able to get the merchant to replace it so I am back trying to add it to my NVR. I can see it...

My neighborhood association needs security cameras to cover our front entrance for incoming and outgoing traffic. We currently have 2 Analog Lorex PTZ cameras which are not functioning correctly. They keep suddenly pointing down and have proven unreliable. I am thinking two Dahua Starlight PTZs...

Being able to recover a bricked camera using various proven methods appears an almost necessary skill if one is to save money by buying cameras and NVRs from sources other than big box stores and online security stores. Noobs like me are clueless unfortunately as to the nuances of working with...

I purchased this camera at Amazon a few weeks ago and bricked it trying to update the firmware. I've been unable to recover via a serial method after much help from forum members. Beginning to think there might be something about the camera itself such that older methods of recovery no longer...

I just got this Dahua PTZ dome; DH-SD22A204TN-GNI All of my other cameras are hikvision. With this one, I got no instructions regarding initial setup or activation. Is there an IP Address that Dahua uses like Hikvision? Thanks.

Buying blind in the area of security cameras and systems, I started off with Zmodo analog and later upgraded, so I thought, to Lorex 960H...Now I realize the importance of researching the tech if you are going to invest! Not too much damage done financially due to getting good deals but did...

I purchased the DS-7608ni-E2/8p from Amazon and was able to get it configured and running ok including Virtual Host. It was described by the merchant to be US Upgrade and I took this to mean that it was a US version. When I got it, it came in an OEM type box (Plain Brown Card board ) and the...
