    Help on SD Card Recording on Dahua Cams

    Well no interest in this issue, so I thought I would just report back of my findings. Well maybe I am expecting too much from the Dahua cameras. I have had some cameras reboot randomly a couple times a week and several blank frames per day on all my NVRs. Trying to record continually has not...

    Had NVR for almost 2 weeks. I like everything so far EXCEPT the little LOUD 40mm fan. I was told before purchasing that the fan was somewhat loud in a quiet setting. I ordered a Noctua NF-A4x10 PWM 12V to try. Had good luck with Noctua before. Will let you know if that helps... M

    Mine has firmware 4.000.0000001.5 2019-12-18. Is that the latest? On the Dahua website it says there is a 08/04/2020 version. Don't have any issues so far so I have not updated. I just like to keep all the firmware versions archived on my computer. m

    Dahua DB11 install question

    I never got a mechanical chime to work, just an electronic one. Been a while but I purchased another electronic chime and it worked fine. There is a delay between the push of the doorbell and the ring of the inside chime ~3 secs or so. M

    Help on SD Card Recording on Dahua Cams

    Wondering if anyone has any luck getting their Dahua Cams to manual record on local SD cards. I have IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cams. I have never been able just to do a manual continuous recording on them. I have installed Samsung Pro Endurance 100mb/s cards (128GB). I format and they start recording...

    Gees. So I did just that and no video. I works on IP Viewer 2 on the computer, just no video on NVR. All it says is "can not find the network host". Worked fine on the $59 NVR I had. Do you know if you used private or ONVIF? M

    Well I got NVR from Andy. Initial observations. When it starts up the fan is noisy, after it boots the fan is quiet. Obviously a variable fan driven by heat. I installed a 10TB Purple drive easily. Room for 2 drives but only running one drive. One drive says it will hold ~50 days with my...

    Hard Drive setup for NVR

    Purchased a Dahua NVR-5216-4KS2. Looking at WD Purple surveillance hard drives. Looking at a single 10TB or pair of 6TB drives. Is there any performance improvement with 2 drives? If not probably going with a single since I am thinking it would be quieter. Thank you for any thoughts... M

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I never use my "Smart" features. I even had to look up what IVS was. Most likely because we only have Mac OS computers with NACL Web Service and most nice interfaces are from Windows based machines. Quiet operation is essential as I like the NVR to be in the...

    Mine reboots (goes off line) once in a while (like days apart) not to sure what that is all about, but I can live with it. Not real happy with IR, but it does not effect stream, just picture. Pretty sure it is it's location, but I had no choice. M

    My Cisco (Linksys) dual band router works fine. I have both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. No sure why yours doesn't work but you could get a 2.4ghz extender and use that to interface to. M
