Correct, resistors are just for each zone. Installing them at the panel makes them essentially useless, but it might be easier than programming those zones to be NC Loops. But yeah, keypads and sirens don't need a resistor.

Looks good to me. Again, just make sure to split power up as evenly as possible, but those power supplies should give you enough power for everything now. The panel might not come with a transformer or battery. You might need to get another one of each. I know that the Neo series panels don't...

The resistors are optional. The benefit of having resistors is that the wire is supervised, so the system will know the difference between a short in your wire versus a closed circuit. I personally never use resistors. I just program the panel not to look for EOL resistors. If you do decide to...

Yeah, you'll definitely want a battery for the panel and one for each power supply. After putting smoke detectors in, you'll definitely need a second 5204.

For reference, here is a list of the current draw for each device and how much current the power supply and panel offer. PTK5507 - 250ma X 2 PK5501 - 150ma X 3 Envisalink - 65ma PC5108 - 30ma PC5204 - 30ma PC1864 - 550ma on the aux/data bus circuit and 700ma on the bell circuit Power Supply -...

Honestly, that's a lot of power draw and even with a PC5204 power supply, that's cutting it close to the limit. But assuming that both sirens draw 350ma and the strobe draws 150ma, here is the best way to split it up. Cabinet 1: PC1864, Outdoor Siren, Strobe, Envisalink, 1 PK5501, and 1...

A 22TB drive has been confirmed to work on a NVR5432-4KS2 https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/dahua-nvrs-claim-to-support-drives-up-to-10tb.66857/#post-719532

For cameras, just use cat5e. That will allow for gigabit speeds, and cameras don't use nearly that. For mine, I'm using a 100mb switch for 3 cameras and they do just fine, so cat5e is plenty. For everything else, I'd use cat6. Cat6a is probably overkill, but if you really want to future proof...

It's also possible that the drive isn't a full 22TB. Maybe it's 21.9xx and WD just said, close enough. Either way, I'm glad to see that larger drives like this work.

That's kinda what I was thinking, but just wasn't sure. So I guess the conclusion is that a 22TB drive wil be fully supported, but to my knowledge, nobody has tried a larger drive (which would be unnecessary since 22TB seems to be the largest surveillance grade drive available to my knowledge)

I know that this is a topic that has had some discussion around it. I saw one post where somebody got a 12TB drive working on a Dahua NVR, but until today, that's the largest drive that I know of anyone trying to use. An acquaintance of mine is installing a system at his new home and he came...

ProDataKey has a really nice GUI IMO. I've heard a lot of good things about it, but fyi, it is cloud based.

You've probably already tried this, but if not, try clearing your cache

According to this document from Dahuas website, the eyeball camera can mount to the PFA130-E and the PFA130-E can mount to the PFA152-E

I'm not sure whether or not the holes align to mount the PFA130-E to the PFA152-E, but if not, you can just use self tapping screws and drill your own holes. I see no reason that this wouldn't work if you're willing to do that.
