    Viewing Dahua NVR Camera Snapshot Images from a Web Page

    I want to allow friends to view snapshots from just one camera I have connected to my NVR. But they can see snapshots from all cameras. The NVR software shows that it should be possible, but it appears to have a bug. I have a Dahua NVR and Dahua cameras connected directly into the NVR. A Dahua...

    Can't get Dahua NVR to email a photo

    I got about 30 notifications and only 2 had a photo. Dahua and their triple email notification. Drives me crazy. Like others, I've turned the damn thing off. And it is gmail. You wonder about the program managers. If they've ever siphoned through all the notifications for a real world 10 camera...

    Can't get Dahua NVR to email a photo

    The camera *should* process the motion/tripwire/intrusion detection/<whatever> request, even if your camera is plugged into a PoE port of the NVR and you are setting up the camera through the NVR's software. That said, how NVR's and cameras work together is the subject of many a thread and a lot...

    Can't get Dahua NVR to email a photo

    Yes, I agree. Motion, line crossing, intrusion detection, email notifications and photos - it's a bit of a black art. At one site with HikVision equipment, I really need to know who and when people are arriving and leaving, so I need a photo sent to me. I have found motion useful only to show...

    Can't get Dahua NVR to email a photo

    I changed some settings and some, but not all, events are coming through via email with attachments. It is not clear how to set this up in the interface. Under "Storage", "Schedule", "Record", the default out of the box is "Regular", recording 24x7 on each channel with a camera connected. In...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I bought 5 IPC-HDW5231R-Z Starlights from Dragoneye Security Camera Ltd on Ali Express and they arrived in CA I think 10 days after I ordered. The cameras were a good price. Shipping was expensive, but it didn't bother me. I had no luck dealing with Empire so I took a chance and I was happy with...

    DDNS problem but Only on HikVision NVR and Camera

    Yes, on the Dyn site under "Hosts", you can add, view and delete your hosts. You can also see the last date and time each one was updated. As I said, the Location 3 Hik just updated one host when I added Dyn to the settings. That's not to say that it will keep updating it. The Location 1 Hik...

    Can't get Dahua NVR to email a photo

    Does anyone know how to configure the Dahua NVR settings so that when an event is triggered like a line crossing or intrusion, the email that gets sent out has an image attached to it? The email notifications are coming through fine. I just can't see where tell it to send a photo. I've attached...

    DDNS problem but Only on HikVision NVR and Camera

    I just corrected my last post from "This morning I checked Dyn and all 5 hosts have not been updated." to "This morning I checked Dyn and all 5 hosts have been updated. " My mistake. In that post, they have been updated. But, here's an update: Location 1 still has a cable modem/Wi-Fi router, 1...

    HikVision NVR displays "No record file" during playback

    Fast forward 1 month. The "No record file" is not a problem when viewing at the NVR, only when viewing remotely through a browser. How bizarre. I picked a day on which I can see nothing through the browser. I then went to the NVR and looked at footage from that day. No problem. This might be...

    Dahua NVR Email - smpt gmail trouble

    I was having problems as well but I just resolved them a minute ago. The first thing you will need to do is go into Gmail and enable less secure apps. Then the Dahua NVR settings are: Enable: (Checked) SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Anonymous: (Unchecked) User Name: (Your...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Finally, FINALLY got to install all 5 Starlights in Australia after starting out on this journey in November. All working well. Very impressed with the IR, which, along with the motorized zoom, were the two reasons I switched from HikVision. The existing Hik camera that I mounted experimentally...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I finally received my 5 Dahua Starlight IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras. I've been trying to get these since November. I've had every imaginable problem, including: - General lack of availability. New product + nayr's stellar review = everybody on this forum wanted one. - Payment rejection by Ali...

    HikVision NVR displays "No record file" during playback

    Fast forward 3 weeks. I am seeing an entire day unavailable from the NVR from either camera, never both on the same day so far, about every 4 to 5 days. With no solution on the web, no HikVision support database and no support for grey market products, I am stuck with what has to be either a...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Still haven't figured out exactly how? (I expect other members are shaking their heads...) Today I provided a largely redacted ID, payment card and statement as requested. So I might be out of luck with my attempt at providing ID. So when you say "message", do you mean start a private...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Yes. Got that. Just wondering why I haven't had a response to earlier messages. Was I using the correct method to communicate etc. I am not questioning his legitimacy. I see only praise. I am just wondering why I cannot seem to get through and get some cameras ordered.

    Hi Andy, how can I order from you using PayPal? I have tried starting a conversation in this forum as well as sending a message to you on AliExpress. My payment was just rejected by AliExpress for an order I placed for 5 Starlight Turret cameras and wall mounts. Probably because the credit card...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    nayr, at the risk of sounding like a complete noob, how exactly do I do that? I've tried to start a conversation through this forum with @EMPIRETECANDY weeks ago about paying. No reply. I started another one this morning after I got the rejection email. And I posted a message to Andy on Ali...

    Ali Express rejected my order. Soooo frustrating. Wants me to upload an identity card, payment card and bank statement. Has anyone else had this experience?

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Ah, I fi-na-lly got the chance to order 5 of the 5321's just now after waiting for stock since early December. I wonder how long they'll take with CNY... After some deliberation, decided the PFB203W was the correct wall mount. Only 4 in stock! Ugh. Oh well. Ordered them anyway. Booked yet...

    HikVision NVR displays "No record file" during playback

    Dammit! It's done it again. Lost the ability to view any footage on Camera 2 on Jan 16 (Jan 15 here). Yesterday I could view it all. Can't be the camera because it is playback from the DVR and the playback worked fine on a previous day. Cameras not involved in that. Could be the hard drive. No...

    "I have experienced this issue occassionally with a 7716 NVR. If found that either rebooting or power cycling the camera fixes the problem. Nothing I did to the NVR would resolve it. Hope this helps. Also I found now way to get the missing data. " Hi, can you tell me how you got the missing data?

    HikVision NVR displays "No record file" during playback

    Ok. I'm assuming it's in this part of the configuration. Not sure what to look for in these numbers. But I'll reboot the NVR, run it then report back. It does say "Short Test", "Expanded Test" and "Conveyance Test". Also haven't looked up the last one. I'll start with Short. I'm hoping the...
