    NVR killed another WD Purple hard drive

    On a side note, it bricked the hard drive when it auto-rebooted. Should I turn off the weekly auto-reboot function?

    NVR killed another WD Purple hard drive

    This is the third WD Purple 4TB hard drive that is now a brick. Luckily they have a decent warranty on them. So far the longest one has lasted me is about 6 months. Anyone else have this issue? They are installed in a Dahua 4216 NVR. Also I had them set up to be redundant, hoping that if...

    Thief with a gun

    This guy was roaming around the neighborhood stealing stuff out of cars, he managed to use a guys credit card at the gas station down the street (I'm told), so I assume he will get caught soon.

    Dahua NVR pre-record setup?

    I have both full time record, and motion detect enabled, and I can't seem to get it where the motion detect will pre-record. No matter how many seconds I set it for, it seems like the motion has been going for a few seconds before starting the MD record. I set the anti-dither to 1, and the pre...

    "Log in return time is up"

    That didn't help much in my case, It works fine on the IE browser when it's working on the NVR. Something about the login time bugged me so I set those two cameras on a separate login name and password to the NVR, maybe there are too many cams on one login. I'll see if that works.

    "Log in return time is up"

    some updates, cam went blank again today, so instead of unplugging and plugging it back in, I tried some troubleshooting. I am able to log in to the web interface of the cam and see all the settings. The live view of the video screen says "resource is limited, open video failed". Also looked...

    Connect NVR to wifi instead of Cat5 to router?

    Is there any way to connect my NVR to the internet/home network via Wifi instead of running a Cat5 cable to the router? I'm trying to install an 8 cam system into a house with no attic, and the cable modem is inaccessible from where the NVR will be. Is there some way to add another wifi...

    "Log in return time is up"

    What's going on here? My NVR and cams will run fine for a couple of days and then out of the blue, one will go black, when I look on the monitor connected to the NVR, I see "log in return time is up". Only way to fix is unplug the ethernet cable and plug it back in. Then it runs fine for a...

    Small Poe nvr with ssd for vehicle use?

    Looks fairly decent here, doesn't say what cam he is using though. nayr, I wasn't referring to your system, I was referring to the $20 cam on the Amazon link above.

    Small Poe nvr with ssd for vehicle use?

    I can't see those $20 backup cams having any kind of stabilization built in, plus they have horrible resolution. The only legit car nvrs I can find are $1000+, and they are for commercial type use. I figure a couple hundred for a basic nvr, I can open it up and put some epoxy on the components...

    Small Poe nvr with ssd for vehicle use?

    Thinking about getting a few ip bullets and a small nvr with Poe that has an AC/dc adapter that I can run off my truck 12v. Using a ssd for record and a small monitor. It would be mainly used for 4x4 videos and a car DVR in case of an accident, but I think with the ir and screen it could be...

    Separate mini nvr for live view

    I read that someone setup a mini nvr on the network with an HDMI to a monitor for live view. Is this easy to setup? And what features would I need to look for? Do any changes need to be made to the main nvr or cameras?

    IPC-HDBW4300R-Z user guide?

    I'd love to but I just moved and haven't set up at the new house yet. i don't know how to do those commands... also it may not be the best cam to zoom on a trigger if it could, because the auto focus takes 5-10 sec to focus after the zoom changes and by that time, whatever triggered it would...

    IPC-HDBW4300R-Z user guide?

    It's better than the cheaper ones because it adjusts it's brightness automatically. Like if it's looking far away and someone walks into view closer, it will dim the ir so as not to white out facial features.

    IPC-HDBW4300R-Z user guide?

    Yep, I can adjust the zoom and it will stay where I set it

    Post your CAM settings

    I'd like to see what settings you guys run on your cameras. I am clueless as to what most of the different settings do, so I typically just plug it in and let it run. Any setting changes I could do to make them better? I have the HDW4300C, HFW4300S, and HDBW4300R-Z Copy and paste your...

    IPC-HDBW4300R-Z user guide?

    Just got one of these Dahua IPC-HDBW4300R-Z dome cameras, looks very nice, the zoom works good using SmartPSS and on my iPad with iDMSSHD Lite. Haven't seen the IR function yet though. The zoom is kinda slow and the auto focus takes a few seconds to tune in, so it wouldn't be great for quick...

    Dahua 4216 Stopped working

    Well I think it happened again. Bad part is, I'm on the other side of planet earth. I keep getting log in time out on my phone. Wife at home says it's making a clicking noise and smart PSS says offline. Grrr. are the other brand NVRs burning up hard drives like this too? How long should one...

    Well they sent the right items (4 months later). I guess all it took was lodging a complaint with Amazon.

    Anyone use PC-NVR in smart PSS?

    I just added it to mine, hoping for it to record the same as my NVR, in case someone steals the NVR, but I can't figure it out either.
