    Firmware for IPC-T54IR-ZE question

    I have one cam with that device info. It doesn't have that issue. Question- are your cams on a static IP address? Mine are DHCP with reserved IP address. Have you talked with Andy? BTW - Can you go back to old firmware? I don't have that firmware but maybe someone can point us to it.

    Never could find any comps for used cams. I don't have a clue how much they are worth. Open to offers. I still have 11 more that I am still using. Great 2MP camera! Not sure how to send to UK. I checked and it is legal to send them there but seemed expensive and a bunch of paperwork. TY M

    Dahua NVR and Router question about UPnP.

    You did help. I have a good candidate if I have any issues with unauthorized access come up. I ended up disabling UPnP & port forwarding from my router and using DMSS and P2P on my NVR. If any issues come up Tailscale will be the next step. TY M

    Dahua NVR and Router question about UPnP.

    Well up and running. One quick question. All my IP cameras are DCHP assigned. Should I make them static? Vaguely remember something about DHCP vs Static is more secure? TY

    Dahua NVR and Router question about UPnP.

    TY ..Frog. So I ditched the port forwarding. No ports open. I disabled UPnP. I still have DMSS with P2P enable. I can view cameras local & remote. I know that is not ideal. Will look into TailScale next. M

    Dahua NVR and Router question about UPnP.

    Ty for the replies. I was thinking the same thing. Trying to understand how to remotely view my cameras. Some how I ended up with a hack reserved admin account on a camera. Took all port fwding off and cleaning up router settings. Great forum and members. Ty

    Dahua NVR and Router question about UPnP.

    I have UPnP disabled in my Dahua NVR because I have read it has security risks. Do I also have to disable it in my router. My internet provider is fiber and uses an all in one connection and router. I have the ability to turn off in router but not real savvy about these things. TY

    Haven't been working with cameras in almost 10 years. Andy turned me on to the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and they were great !! Are you saying I should just use a IPC-T541R-ZE instead of IPC-HDW5831R-ZE for the front drive? TY
