    DAHUA RECORDERS HACKED

    I have a VPN set up on my network and I have all cameras blocked from accessing the Internet via the router. Do you think I need to block my NVR from accessing the Internet as well via the router?

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

My times are not staying up to date with the actual time (they are actually a minute or 2 faster than the actual time so I would like to be able to use NTP to...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    I was planning on upgrading from the NVR menu itself and not from the web interface. Is it OK to do so directly from the NVR? I really only access the NVR from the NVR itself (and not Smart PSS or anything like that)

    How to setup a test camera

    If I go the 12 vdc power adapter route for testing can I simply then just connect a cat cable from the cam to my laptop to view the feed? Viewing the feed from the appropriate cam ip. I think yes but not 100% certain.

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    A couple questions. If I understand this.... The new firmware for the NVR stops reboots when IVS is being used. Does this update solve missing frames when IVS is triggered? Did you guys update firmware for each cameras. Is this step needed?

    Cat 5 cable extender

    For sure I would use di-electric grease in the connections and then wrap the whole connection in weather tight tape. I'd hate to run new wire for the sake of 20 ft.

    Dahua Backdoor Uncovered

    I assume the answer is yes and by how handipalm firewalls his blue iris computer. Is it recommended to remove internet access to the NVR via the router -- the same way we do it for our cameras?
