Do you have it hooked to some type of chime? Where did you purchase yours at?

I did a quick google search on how to secure a Reolink NVR and this seems to be the most popular!!

@daves52380 I have a Dahua NVR and looking at getting a doorbell. Are you still using it? What model doorbell are you using? Are you using a POE cable between DB and NVR? Are you only viewing the doorbell through the NVR GUI? Thanks!

https://empiretech01.com/products/empiretech-8-channels-1u-8poe-2hdd-network-video-recorder-nvr8ch-8p-2ai I have this and it’s compatible with edge, chrome,etc. Really nice NVR. Look on his site for specs.

Here is Empire Tech’s website. I am running the NVR16CH-16P-2AI. It is a great NVR and he also has it in the 8 channel. https://empiretech01.com/collections/network-video-recorder

I have the S3 models and they all work fine using Edge.

I think there needs to be an updated sticky thread that describes the popular cameras specs and what situations you would want that camera for! Seems like this question gets asked every other day :)

This is an old model that is end of life (EOL). I would get the new NVR so you are up to date on the features and technology. Are you using Dahua cameras? Here’s the 8 channel: https://empiretech01.com/products/empiretech-8-channels-1u-8poe-2hdd-network-video-recorder-nvr8ch-8p-2ai

There is also wall mounts (see picture), that you can use to mount on the side of your house. Just make sure you get correct mount for correct camera!

I can almost guarantee you that most people on here recommends starting with the camera in this kit unless you are trying to capture video at a long distance!

I agree with mat200 and would go with a NVR that has the built in POE. It is incredibly simple to use and setup. EmpireTech Kit3 8/16-Camera Capable NVR System with IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 1/

Yes I sure will!

I did this to the exact NVR you have a few months back and it was a life saver! The one in the power supply is the easy one. The other one you have to make sure the right colors go together. I can get you all the right information of you don’t have it figured out by the end of next week (away...

I am having no issues with DMSS either. I do not use P2P though. I use OpenVPN to use it when I am away from the house.

You can use these same steps for your computer as well!

I have a Asus router. Within that router you can turn on OpenVPN. Once you have OpenVPN setup on the router, download the OpenVPN app on your phone. While connected to your home WiFi on your phone, open your router webpage that’s used to configure it (Asus router.com). Go to the OpenVPN and...

If you find the NVR you want/have, look at the specs and it shows the different display options it has. See attached picture, the highlighted.

Keep an eye out for refurbished ones on Andy’s website. He updates the list every Tuesday night. Just last night he put on several of those cameras. I have bought many cameras off there and they have all been brand new looking!

The newer model cameras by Empire Tech (Dahua) have all that built in to the camera. After you got the camera initialized, you would login to the camera through the web by the cameras IP and set it up.

That’s weird! Hopefully they get it figured out.

Thank you! DMSS is actually working for me at the moment!

Thank you for the reply! Do you still have to setup P2P on the NVR?

Do you use DMSS to mobile view your system also? I’m assuming DMSS you don’t use OpenVPN and you have to use P2P? Do you by chance know a way to remote view without using P2P? Thanks man!!

I have the NVR16CH-16P-2AI from Andy. I have a Asus router and have OpenVPN setup on it and on my phone. I have the whole system up and going very well thanks to many people on here! The only thing I have not setup is remote viewing/notifications. I do not have P2P enabled on the NVR. My...

I would definitely go with an Amazon device like an echo show, Amazon tablet, etc. Super easy to use and you can get the Alexa app on your phone which will allow you to always be in contact. We use this and it works great and crazy easy!

That’s the exact one I got also. Unfortunately I don’t have a place for it since it always needs light.

Yes it is random and you don’t know until you get it. Last lottery I got an older model dome camera.
