That was what I did. Doing everything like in your 1st post. I even make sure the camera default gateway point to NVR switch at 10.1.1.1 and prefer DNS exactly like NVR..
***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

hmmm... What camera model and NVR model?
I just set up another brand new 4116 NVR and 2 Dahua 8MP cams at home yesterday and worked exactly as I described.
I dont mess with the camera network settings.

NVR is 5216-16P-4KS2E, camera is HDW2231R-ZS
The only thing I see different with your picture is in the camera default gateway.
Mine is point to the NVR switch at 10.1.1.1
But your is point to 192.168.1.1

That explains it. Waste half of a day trying to figure out what I did wrong after FW update on both NVR and cameras.

Getting the hang of it
I finally got everything setup and working but when I click the blue IE it just takes me to camera info log in page and when I click ok it just says successfully operated and takes me back to camera registration page. If I go to live I get blank view. Am I missing something??
That 2nd image is what you should see if you were to click on the little "edit" pencil icon. The Blue IE icon should open a new browser window for the camera web login
There ya go
Once I went to windows computer instead of my MacBook it worked
Now all I need to do is hook up the other cameras and get them mounted. Then setup the cameras, the alerts, etc. I hope the hardest part is behind me. Any tips going forward with the camera settings and alerts??
Each camera/location will be different and to some degree require different tweaks to the settings. Start with default and go from there. Daytime is easy, nighttime is the hard part.
Set up you recording schedule on the NVR and your email (see post on first page) and make all of your stream/image/event-IVS/ and most everything eklse on the cameras themselves. Dont play with settings on the NVR and then the same settings on the camera, something will screw up.

Curious what I’m doing wrong. I’m using DMSS app, which works fine if I’m at home on WiFi, but how do I view cameras remotely from DMSS app if I’m away from home like on vacation.
You need to install a vpn - like OpenVPN in your router and the client on your phone.
Your external IP is different than the one inside your home network (your WiFi). So once you leave your home it can’t find it.

Lol, that just went right over my head, guess I better start trying to google for step by step instructions. Curious why I never had anything like that with a nest camera or Vivint.
