    Big update!! NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.0.R.20190713

    I just set up mt NVR that I purchased nearly a year ago and just got around to installing. I upgraded to v4001. after initializing, setting password, static IP and connecting to my ASUS router before adding cameras. I assume it is still recommended to do a factory reset? After a factory reset...

    Review-OEM 4mp AI Cam IPC-T5442TM-AS Starlight+

    Any issue using the PFA130-E Junction Box on an outside exposed wall? PDF shows it as ceiling mount and the PFB204W for wall mount. I'd prefer to use the junction box and don't know how I would run cable to the PFB204W. With the PFA130-E what are people using for connecting conduit? I would...

    1st Coyote Sighting

    That is a very healthy looking Coyote. I have seen them in our yard and at times can hear the howling down the hill. They don't look that solid. I am just getting my cameras set up and imagine I'll capture all kinds of critters once I'm finished.

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E user/installation guide for latest firmware.

    One problem solved, another to work through. After adding the second camera my Live video and recorded video stutters or stops for a brief instant every couple of seconds. Time to search why.

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E user/installation guide for latest firmware.

    I installed a second camera and can access the IP Camera browser page with no issue. I still can't access the 1'st camera I installed. Should I delete it and initialize it again? Edit: Deleting and adding the first camera again worked. Problem solved. Strange.

    Finally started my installation. Took a pandemic to find the time. Any input on the first two installations? They are both IPC-B5442E-ZE 4MP Starlight+ WDR IR Bullet AI Network Camera 2.7mm ~12mm Motorized. They are at 23 zoom. Aim, zoom, overall coverage? I have 8 more left on the list a few...

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E user/installation guide for latest firmware.

    bigredfish, In another thread we discussed setting a static IP address outside the DHCP managed pool. 192.168.1.108 is inside my DHCP pool and in use. I set a range and configured a static IP address outside the DHCP pool 192.168.1.x. I can log in fine, click on the IE icon, I just can't open...

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E user/installation guide for latest firmware.

    When I click the webpage IE icon a tab opens in IE with my camera IP address (10.1.1.xx) and I get "Can't open this page". I have v4.001, not sure what changes or if it has bugs. What would happen if the subnet address was the same in my router and my NVR? I thought I would get a conflict while...

    Yes, clicking the IE icon takes me to my NVR IP, not the camera. Are you running v4.001?

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E user/installation guide for latest firmware.

    msnow, I am just at the beginning of the learning curve. I'll try it in IE but even after allowing pop ups in Safari, I time out. I am enjoying a cigar and a glass of wine outside, I'll try later in IE. I have Live view, what is the purpose of that? Thanks.

    I needed to RUN something for IE. I didn't in Safari but Safari is missing controls like Chrome Web Service as you mentioned. Thanks.

    Much better, I can see more controls now. Interesting and I forget now but was that a required Chrome Plug-In for IE that works better than Chrome? Thanks.

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E user/installation guide for latest firmware.

    Thanks, That should help. I notice the Interface has changed in v4.001. "Search" has replaced "Playback". I'm trying to figure out how to speed up playback as one example. At least I don't have to re-learn but I am new to this and a step by step guide would sure be helpful. What is the best...

    Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E user/installation guide for latest firmware.

    I have initialized my NVR5216-16P-4KS2E, updated to the latest firmware, watched a couple step by step videos, but am finding the interface is different. Has the firmware significantly changed the user interface? If yes, is there an updated user guide? I'll keep reading and searching but save me...

    Big update!! NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.0.R.20190713

    I ordered a NVR5216-16P-4KS2E from you almost a year ago and am now just getting around to installing it. I am ready to initialize but want to immediately upgrade to the most current firmware. Is the below quote the most current Firmware to my model? I am in the USA. If not, what is or should I...

    Easiest way or changing around IP#s on my system

    If this thread deals with BI and POE switches, what differences are there as I set up my NVR with built in POE ports? Just learning and in another thread was told I just let the NVR assign IP addresses and don't need to assign them in my ASUS Router? Is this correct? Just wondering how I do...

    Preparing ASUS RT-AC88U for Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E initialization

    Thanks, yes I understand that and was referring to it with this comment in my post "Correct me if I am wrong but it sounds like you are assigning a manual IP address inside the Router DHCP range" My question was, while it would work as you described, wouldn't assigning a static IP outside the...

    Preparing ASUS RT-AC88U for Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E initialization

    Correct me if I am wrong but it sounds like you are assigning a manual IP address inside the Router DHCP range and assuming it will get the same assignment if the Router reboots for any reason (Power failure, firmware update eg.). I would think assigning a static IP address outside the DHCP...

    Preparing ASUS RT-AC88U for Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E initialization

    Thank you. i just need to go to the RT-AC88U LAN - DHCP server tab and enable Manual Assignment, then add a static IP address? No need to change the DHCP range or it doesn't matter whether I do or not? (Manually Assigned IP around the DHCP list (Max Limit : 64) ) Any issue with just adding a...

    LPR camera location

    Thank you. How deep did you dig? I need to watch for my irrigation lines and who knows what else. I'm not sure I really need a true LPR, with the cars needing to stop or slow way down for the speed bump standard video feeds may do.

    18 hours without power (so far)

    Sorry to hear that. Best of luck getting it restored. Nothing to compare but we had a small thunderstorm and our power went out yesterday for a few hours. I have a Honda ES6500 generator with a wired in GenTran 10 circuit transfer switch. It sure has come in handy over the years and is easy...

    Camera placement suggestions

    Coming from a DSLR background, I am surprised by how tiny even the low light starlight camera sensors are. Also makes it easy to understand the upside of 2 MP; The MP's must get awful tiny the more you pack on those tiny sensors.

    LPR camera location

    I assume the best location for LPR cameras wound be in my front terrace by the side of the road but getting cable there would be a pain. Any chance I could get by with a camera mounted on the front of my house? The images I've attached are from a full frame DSLR for perspective until I can test...

    Camera placement suggestions

    My hard drive arrives today and I won't have any more excuses not to get to work. I have a question on the best route for my CAT 6 cable. Seems I have two options, running the cable up and through the attic and down the outside of the house to the camera location or through my crawlspace and up...
