    Need help choosing a UPS

    I have a 22kw whole house generator and about a dozen APC and one CyberPower UPS on my computers and electronic components without any problem. They all have done great and batteries last about 5 years. I did install a MicroAire Soft Start on my 4 ton AC because when the AC would kick on a...

    Google Home Nest or Amazon Alexa to view NVR camera via their browser?

    Tony, Thanks for the reply. I rather not setup RTSP. Another problem is I have H.265 encoding configured for all of the cameras which poses a problem with RTSP streaming as mentioned in the links. I would rather just stream using the browser in Alexa or Google Home Nest (if possible) with...

    Google Home Nest or Amazon Alexa to view NVR camera via their browser?

    Has anyone used either a Google Home Nest or Amazon Alexa to stream video from their NVR? I have a NVR-5208-8P-4KS2 and would like to stream one camera on the device, but aren't sure if the browser in either one is capable of doing this via the internet? Any information is greatly appreciated...

    Big update!! NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.0.R.20190713

    Caution. I installed DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.002.0000000.8.R.241030 on my NVR5208-8P-4KS2E and it won't allow partial zoom in or out with the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS vari-zoom cameras using web access (all browsers), but does allow zoom using SmartPSS. Not sure how it affects other vari-zoom or...

    NVR5208-8P-4KS2E firmware update problems with Zoom using IPC-HDW2231R-ZS cameras (EmpireTech Andy's hardware)

    Thank you for the try! I might try to downgrade the firmware. Hopefully I don't brick the NVR.

    NVR5208-8P-4KS2E firmware update problems with Zoom using IPC-HDW2231R-ZS cameras (EmpireTech Andy's hardware)

    I can do partial zooms when I access the "camera's" Web Gui at the NVR console, and through the Web GUI. But unable to partial zoom using the Web GUI.

    I was able to do all of these zoom until the NVR upgrade. Now unable to do partial zooms using IE Web GUI, all other methods I can still use partial zooms.

    BigRedFish, do you have any IPC-HDW2231-ZS cameras on your NVR and have capability to do partial zooms in and out? BTW, I do use IE Nice back yard!

    I seldom zoom, only if necessity dictates the need for closer inspection. And I have to disagree. I believe the NVR software controls the interface between the user and the camera's operation. Using the Web access doesn't give you direct access to the camera but is a bridge between the user...

    Yes, that is the firmware for the NVR. The cameras have the original firmware (there aren't any upgrades).

    NVR5208-8P-4KS2E firmware update problems with Zoom using IPC-HDW2231R-ZS cameras (EmpireTech Andy's hardware)

    I updated to V4.002.0000000.8.R and since then none of my cameras are able to do a partial zoom using the Web access, which I always use. The cameras either zoom full out or full in. I have tried the web access using Firefox, Edge, Seamonkey, Explorer, and Palemoon browsers, all of which only...
