    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?

    Are there any changes from the official firmware compared to the one Empirete released a few weeks ago? IVS issues still present in this one? I have not updated since getting the NVR.

    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?

    Choppy viewing when on phone

    I applied these same settings to all 3 of my cameras from the NVR however it stills seems sluggish. Only difference between you and me is that you have 704-480 (D1) and I don't. I have 704-576 (D1) Any ideas more ideas? I don't need to restart the NVR do I?

    How can I change IP address for my camera?

    Never mind I figured it out by logging into the camera from the web. Changing its IP in the setup page then adjusting the IP in the NVR.
