    putting cams back to default

    I've tried searching. I'm betting I just don't understand... When I connect directly from computer to camera(s), connect via web, go to setup, system, default, and hit the default button... Get warning "Are you sure to reset default config?" Hit Yes. Camera (seems to) reboot. But, I can't...

    do I throw my NVR away?

    NVR5216-16P-4KS2. About 2 years old. I've been messing with this thing for a week now. Tried everything, in every combination, I can think of. Unplugged all cameras, plugged all cameras in, plugged NVR into different switch, removed NVR from any network, tried multiple computers, etc...

    Can't upgrade firmware or factory reset NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    My NVR5216-16P-4KS2 has been acting wonky, so I wanted to start over. From the NVR (& mouse), I tried doing a factory reset. It fails. I've tried upgrading my firmware from 3.210 to 3.216 - from the NVR console (memory key) and SmartPSS (mac). Everything fails. I'm betting this is user...

    Dahua NVR messing with IP assignments on main network

    NVR5216-16P-4KS2 I just added some new Unifi equipment (managed switch, CloudKey, & access point). Each time they would boot, "some" would get bum IP addresses in the 192.168.0.XXX range - making it impossible to bring them into the network. My router is setup to give in the 192.168.1.XXX...

    IPC-A35 - no PTZ though SmartPSS or iDMSS?

    I got an A35 from Andy. Can't seem to get the PTZ to work through SmartPSS or iDMSS. Works perfectly through the Dahua NVR. It seems like I remember reading something about issues with PTZ through one of the programs, but can't find it now. And, I've been reading so many posts lately, I may...

    NVR5216 - no motion detection

    I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've spent a crazy amount of hours trying to get this going over several days. Have tried every combination I can think of. Reset. Started over. Again and again. I've searched. Read. Re-read. Just have an NVR5216-16P-4KS2...

    NVR5216-16P-4KS2 - how to use/beginners guide?

    I just got an NVR and have been playing around trying to figure it out. Have also been reading threads as much as possible. That said... Is there a beginners guide somewhere that shows the basics? There's a lot of settings available. I'm just not sure which ones I should be monkeying around...

    I just received my NVR from Andy. Just trying to get my feet wet as this is my first go... I have the NVR running with one camera attached. But when I try and connect via computer(i.e. web service), it tells me to load plugin. I click "install", but it brings up a 404 Not Found error. Can...
