    Setting up a NAS for Camera Events

    Yes, I'm still putzing with my Dahua IPC-HFW4300S-V2. Since I returned the Dahua NVR4208 (I couldn't get it to record events), I am playing around with the NAS feature of the Dahua camera to record events. It seems simple enough in that there are only two fields to fill out. Specifically, the...

    Can't delete reserved account password

    I have since returned the Dahua NVR. I just couldn't get it to record anything. Hopefully, this was not due to my ignorance, but that is a possibility. In my defense, the documentation is next to useless. The only reason I chose a Dahua NVR is that I figured that it would work really well...

    Can't delete reserved account password

    Thank you nayr for your reply. With all due respect, what I am trying to do is get this damn NVR to work. And thank you fenderman. I have done the waiting game to make sure I was not locked out due to incorrect passwords. With this Dahua NVR,you can choose "Manual Mode" to enter cameras...

    Can't delete reserved account password

    I am a newbie to security cameras and NVRs in general. From some reading I have done, the problem of deleting reserved accounts on cameras and NVRs is not new. However, I believe that I am doing everything right, but I still cannot change the password of the reserved accounts. I just received...
