    Does BI support Dahua Cams IVS or facial recognition features? Does it encode h.265?

    POE Issues - Unifi

    Thanks. My plan is to use the SD card a back up only. I do want to get the cameras working, before I dive into the NVR. These are the SD cards I am using, they seem like they should be good ones. MicroSDXC EVO Select Memory Card w/ Adapter 128GB (2017 Model) Memory & Storage - MB-ME128GA/AM...

    POE Issues - Unifi

    I'll probably end up there. I would like to get the Dahua NVR to at least functioning as designed/expected. I need to sort out cams first, then NVR.

    POE Issues - Unifi

    Thanks. It seemed like these are as good a POE source as I could expect to find. Will quit fretting over this and see what else might make my cams sluggish. Do your cams connect Gb? Mine connect 10/100. They seem to run between 3 - 6 W each.

    POE Issues - Unifi

    Smartpss seems to be working now. It’s better than the nvr and does display all of the cams. It’s not very intuitive and, while better, is still very slow. Does cam SD card playback always slow to start and jump around? It would be nice if the NVR worked better.

    POE Issues - Unifi

    I have SmartPSS ver. 2.02.0 I create a login, and have both set it to remember and not set it to remember. When I close it and reopen it, it refuses my credential and my security questions. Will look for the latest and try these pws too. Thanks.

    Thanks. I have iDMSS and can view comeras, but not see playback. I will try SmartPSS. I have SmartPSS, but do not know the logon. Is there a default?

    POE Issues - Unifi

    Thanks. I’ll try this. It sure seems like it should work. It’s a full Gb network. I would expect that it would work with the published specs, and with full res video and FPS/bitrate. Disappointing that it doesn’t. I will play around. There are other issues too. The 5231Rs it is difficult to...

    POE Issues - Unifi

    I'm having a frustrating time with my 4 new Dauha cams and NVR. The picture they make is nice, but the web interface is slow and buggy. I usually cannot playback video. One of the worrisome things that I see, is no preview video on my NVR NVR5416-4KS2 with my IPC-HDW5831R-ZE. I've seen this...

    Dahua NVR IR remote

    The IR remote is also listed in the manual, which covers many models. There is no indication, unless I missed it, which models support IR and which do not.

    Dahua NVR IR remote

    im setting up a Dahua NVR video output into my AV system. I see that some on them may ship with an IR remote. Is this true? If so, which ones? What can you do with the remote? Do they all work with a remote? I’d love to get this to work with my control system. My NVR is a NVR5416-4KS2...

    Dahua NVR5416-4KS2 Fans

    I ended up with 2 of these. I couldn’t find the 5v Noctua at a decent price. GELID Solutions | SILENT 6 The fans in free air are very quiet. I’m running both 12v. I think they push too much air. When fully assembled, the nvr is louder than I would like. I think it is mostly wind noise...

    Firmware Location

    Understood. I would like to know that I am baselined with a good ver before I dive deeper into surveillance. I presume there is a minimum recommended fw to be on. Is there a guide somewhere to which fw revs are recommended or not? I see a lot of discussion here about it. How many models...

    Dahua NVR5416-4KS2 Fans

    The PSU, also 60x15, will not accommodate a 25mm thick fan, at least without significant modification. At least it is 12v, easier to find a quieter model than the 5v case fan. Will try this one: GELID Solutions | SILENT 6

    Dahua NVR5416-4KS2 Fans

    Thanks. Not finding that thread. I think I am going to use this on the case, deleting the 15mm fan mount cage to allow the thicker fan. NF-A6x25 5V Will open the psu and see what fan that is.

    Dahua NVR5416-4KS2 Fans

    I just got a new Dahua NVR5416-4KS2. It's pretty loud. Are there options for installing quieter fans? It looks like there is 60mm x 15mm case fan that could be replaced with a quieter unit. Unfortunately, I cannot find a Noctua fan the same size and spec as this one. I don't know other fan...

    Dahua NVR5416-4KS2 Firmware

    I just purchased a NVR5416-4KS2. What is the best source for the most current, validated, and accepted firmware? Is it the download page of the product page? NVR5416/5432/5464-4KS2 | Dahua Technology - Dahua Technology The current ver listed is: DH_NVR5XXX-4K_Eng_V3.215.0000000.1.R.20170901...

    How to view Dahua cameras with SmartPhone

    Can the push notifications work if the iPhone is not connected VPN (L2TP)? Is the iphone to be constantly connected VPN, and will only traffic to and from the cam vlan traverse the vpn?

    Network Questions

    Thanks. So, the cam network would be double nat'd, through two firewalls? How would email and push notifications work from the cam network? It seems that maybe dual nic on my PC might be a good solution. I think I can also open ports between vlans, which would be similar, I think, to opening...

    I'm setting up a network for a Dahua NVR and Cameras I just ordered. I've read these excellent threads a few times each. VPN Primer for Noobs Network Security Primer I've got a capable router and the ability to set it up and configure it. I think setting up a vlan for the cams/NVR and setting...

    Dahua NVR HDD

    Thanks. I think I will actually get the 4HDD model, so I presume this will be true to 4HDD. I think you are right about not needing raid, especially if backing it up with SD cards in cams.

    Dahua NVR HDD

    How can the HDDs be configured in the Dahua NVR5xxx-4KS2 NVRs? Are there different raid choices? Can I grow the volume by adding discs, or does it need to be nuked when adding capacity?

    Dahua NVR Pro vs. Ultra and H.265+

    I'm considering a Dahua NVR, likely the Pro NVR5416-4KS2. What does the Ultra series bring to the table above and beyond what the Pro offers? Also, I see the Eco Savvy 2MP cam all seem to have H.265+ (I'm not fmailiar with this) and the NVRs do not list H.265+ as supported. Is H.265+...

    Newbie Costco Kit Questions

    Thank you very much for this. After reading this info and further reflection (aka as sleeping on it) I am not going to jump on this. I think I will be better served by the low light performing Starlight cams and a 16 channel NVR with IVS. I was initially seduced by 4K and the prospect of a...

    Newbie Costco Kit Questions

    I don't want to dork other threads with my few questions here. I've searched and haven't found answers that fully satisfy my basic questions. Please bear with me if I've missed or mis-understood the info I've looked at. There is a lot of great info available. I'm looking to get a NVR/Cam...
