    Dahua 4216 Stopped working

    got the replacement hard drive and went ahead and ordered another one from amazon. When I set it up on the NVR, do I select "redundant" for the second one? Will that basically record to both hard drives at the same time?

    New Dahua PTZ

    I have seen youtubes of PTZ cams zooming in on and following movement, is this a special function in the cam itself, or something you program on the NVR?

    Dahua 4216 Stopped working

    If I had two hard drives installed and one of them broke, would it continue to work on just the one hard drive? I don't really need two, but if it will continue working if one breaks, I'll go ahead and get two.

    Dahua 4216 Stopped working

    That worked. I unplugged the HD and it works normally. it just says NO HDD in the corner. If I had two hard drives installed and one crapped out, would it do the same thing or just boot up normally using the one good hard drive? It's a WD purple 4TB hard drive. Supposedly there is a 3 year...

    Dahua 4216 Stopped working

    I can turn it off and on via the switch on the back panel. The blue ring lights up, but nothing else. No video output on HDMI, SmartPSS can't login, cell phone can't log in, and I can't get the web interface to come up when I type in the IP address. I did try my IP scanner and it shows it is...

    Mini 0806 questions

    I got the new mini 0806 today and have a few questions about it. Do I absolutely need to buy the optional parking mounting base to use parking mode? Or can I just use the hard wire kit and turn on parking mode? also I connected via USB to my computer and it seems to be stuck on "USB...

    Motion detection sensitivity level

    What are you guys using for sensitivity level on motion detection? I left mine on the default setting and it picks up bugs flying by and trees moving in the wind, but the other day I found a pile of deer poo out in my yard but didn't see it on the recording.

    gDMSS update is the worst

    My gDMSS updated itself on my phone and now the video is crap. It looks like its snowing on the screen, and the image twists around. It's unuseable. Is there a better Android app that works with Dahua NVR that I can run? Is anyone else having problems with it?

    Nighttime shots from Dahua CVI cameras

    thanks! I don't really want to drill and run wires through my bricks, I was trying to stay with something I could mount in the eave soffit area.

    If I had exterior lighting set up like that, then I wouldn't need night vision at all right? That switch controller is awesome! I didn't think the hikvisions worked with Dahua NVR's
