    Dahua NVR NEXT GUI

    This is disappointing as I was planning to buy the latest Pro NVR, but the UI issues and continued need for plugin doesn't make it worth it.

    Dahua Xinghan AI NVRs

    Anyone knowwhy the 32ch is less expensive than the 16ch? Does the 16 have more features? I did a compare but didn't see any. @EMPIRETECANDY Update: I learned that the 16CH has PoE and the 32CH does not.

    Dahua Xinghan AI NVRs

    They're in stock. Andy told me. I'm just trying to decide if it's worth paying $900 to upgrade.

    Dahua Xinghan AI NVRs

    Thanks! This is helpful. I'm trying to decide if I spring for the new Pro or not. I have the NVR8CH-8P-2AI and I noticed Edge recently no longer works now. I'd like to get on a platform that Dahua is investing in. Plus, the LLM-style search looks cool to me. Would you recommend the upgrade?

    Anyone had a chance to buy one of these and play with it? I"m curious if the web UI works better with modern browsers.

    As I mentioned before, Edge works for me after doing a fresh install of Windows 11.

    Learning from IPC-T54IR-ZE purchase mistake

    Now THAT is badass. I want one. Does Andy sell it? I looked on his website but didn't find anything with those exact specs. Closest model I could find is this...

    Learning from IPC-T54IR-ZE purchase mistake

    You guys are hardcore pairing up cams. I had thought about pairing my 5442 S3s (overview) with a couple expensive PTZs, but that's about it.

    EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser

    FYI. I bought a new computer with a brand new Windows 11 install. Out of curiosity, I tried Edge and it works. So, I ditched Firefox and will continue using Edge.

    EmpireTech NVR New Firmware Released

    @EMPIRETECANDY I saw that new firmware was released and it says "bug fixes". Can you list out what updates were made so I can make a decision as to whether I should upgrade or not?

    Looking for firmware for an old dahua nvr

    @EMPIRETECANDY - when do you expect the new Pro NVRs with WizSeek to be available?

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    I have seven 5442 S3s. From what I'm gathering, it seems my money would be better spent getting the new Pro NVR with the advanced AI search versus upgrading my cams to these Pros.

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Super helpful, thanks. That's a significant benefit. The Pro seems worth it to me

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Thanks. Do you know what the main advantages are between the Pro vs non-Pro? Is the AI search capability better?

    I can't find the "pro" on your website. Are they out of stock?

    2025 New Arrivals From EmpireTech

    Andy - do you have an EmpireTech version of the NVR5216-16P-XI/PRO? Is it this? NVR16CH-16P-2XI

    Should I try SmartPSS or DSS Express?

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    Thanks for this thoughtful and thorough response, but I'm way too dumb to understand and do this.

    Dahua WizColor 5x59-PRO and SmartLight 5x59-IL new series

    I have 5442 S3s varifocal. I'd like to try the IPC-Color4k-T but how do I use my current varifocals to determine whether I need 2.8mm or 3.6mm? I have a couple of varifocals slightly zoomed in, so does that mean 3.6mm? The rest would be 2.8mm obviously.

    EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser

    I mean, I've been using Firefox now for just a day...regularly logging into the UI and the features all work so far. Could that change? Entirely possible.

    EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser

    I agree. Here is Firefox, which appears to have all the options

    EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser

    I'm sorry you have terrible reading comprehension. The whole point of my post is finding something else to use. Hence, my comment about Firefox working.

    EmpireTech NVR / 5442 S3 Cams - Webplugin Not Functioning in Edge Browser

    Perhaps. This is what Edge in IE Mode looks like for me. Does that look usable to you? No matter how much I zoom in and out, it's the same terrible UI where the playback area blocks the checkmarks to the right.

    In case anyone cares, Firefox works perfectly. So, I've switched to that.
