I do not recommend trying to install different factory software. It could brick the NVR. As far as getting the cameras to work, I found changing the IP address may work and tinker with Camara settings. I know there are some Onvif cameras that just aren't compatible. I would try to buy some...

Hi welcome, It's been a while since I stepped in. I ended up buying a Asus router and setting it up for a VPN. Then I added the NVR IP address to the app and have had no issues doing remote viewing. But note: VPN will not work on phones in data saver mode. Don't make that mistake. Lots of...

I ended up buying a Asus router and do a vpn server doing what is called PPTP. Person to Person tunnel protocol.

Yes I think you are spot on double nat...will work on it this next weekend. Fix Double NAT when two routers run at the same time - Google Wifi Help

Are all 4 connected to your nvr hard wire in the back via POE connection or are some through wifi? What model NVR?

They cut them back on but I feel this is temporary.

Hi, So I recently purchased a Azus router RT-AX86U. My goal is to be able to remote view my NVR while away from my network by a VPN. I'm trying to use my Google Mesh network with the Azus router but I'm not sure if that is possible. The issue is my NVR (Q-See rebranded Dahua) is located in a...

No, my P2P is not working. Still waiting for my new Azus router to get here to set up a VPN connection.

Interesting that they turned it back on. They mentioned that their site will have support documents until March. But this may just be for temporary. I'm still going to keep moving forward with the VPN. My Azus router comes Sunday. Model RT-AX86U. With open VPN. I will keep everyone...

I'm sorry. I was wondering what would happen if you rest one of the wifi cams that just uses qc plus to set up. Was there a message on the NVR like invalid password or login time expired?

Ok so the Camara is connected to your network wifi just fine? If so then you are then clicking on the camera registration and then search and then it shows up? But when added the status light is red? If so than it will be the password. Maybe remove the password and click connect. H265 is...

Yes what model cameras and NVR do you have? My older NVR had a problem with the wifi cameras. I found older NVRs do not support H265 file recording and when I changed the recording to H264 the video showed up. But let me know your models. I own almost all QC models cameras. Also the wifi...

So I have two of the same model cameras on my setup. Do you have them setup to your qc8816 NVR or were you just using them as separate stand alone cameras on the QC plus app? It seems the QC Plus app was heavily affected and seems less work arounds. I see lots of error messages like "failed to...

Yes it seems to be the Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E. But I'm watching YouTube videos and reading about setting up a VPN. Looking at getting an Azus router. I will post more after testing out the setup. Hopefully a pdf with instructions. It allows me to keep my NVR and just set up a path to my NVR...

Yes that is what I'm researching something like Firewalla: Cybersecurity Firewall For Your Family and Business which is a one time price unit that installs on your router and sets up a VPN. Would act just like you are home and use the same Qsee apps. Also looking at other routes to look at...
