Hi all, I just upgraded my FW on my 4208 NVR and i'm trying to get my motion detection events to show on the playback screen. All I see is a long green bar for General. Alarm, Motion, Intelligent all do not show up. I know i've missed a setting somewhere, but I've been all over the motion...

I can do either. Right now, i'm connected via the Chrome Easy Viewer app.

Hey guys, I've had my 4208 setup for about a year now and I assumed I had the motion option setup to tag the motion in playback. We had a bad windstorm a few days ago and the wind knocked over my patio heater and i was trying to find when it happened. The motion option isnt working. It's...

Hey guys, I have IVS setup on my camera and i literally get 200 emails a day. I mean a butterfly will cross the line and it sends and email. Is there a way to drop the sensitivity down? I disabled it right now and am going to try motion detection for a while to see if that does what I want it...

When you say connect straight to the camera. I'm not real sure I understand what that means or even how to do that. I'm not sure I've ever been able to connect straight to the camera.

Thanks for all the help. I'm definitely going to trim the bush back a bit. I have one more question for you guys, I'm having trouble getting IVS to work. I've set up the tripwire in my driveway, but I get no log or email when something crosses it. I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong or...

Yeah, I just figured that out. I just have to do one extra step of connecting to vpn before viewing the cameras on the app. Not a real big deal. 5 more seconds opening the VPN app and connecting....added security to the network. It's worth it. I have a dumb question. How do you zoom the...

I have VPN set up and working on my phone. I'm still confused as how to make an app work with VPN. I have the 5231-ZE set up. Here is a night shot from 5 mins ago. I have some tweaking to do to get it right.

So i've never used a VPN for cameras before. How does that work with an app like ipcamviewer or the dahua gDMSS app? Will it still be able to connect easily? EDIT: I have an Asus ac66u router. It has the option in it for VPN server/client. Are there certain settings I need enabled for the...

Hey guys, is there a tutorial somewhere that tells me how to setup my new NVR with DDNS so I can use the app to view?

I ended up buying the 4208 with 1-5231, 2-4231 at 3.6mm and 2- 2231. Thanks for all the help. Ordered from Andy last Wednesday and it looks like he actually forgot to ship them to me last week like he said. They just shipped out today for some reason. Kind of disappointing. I'm going out of...

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm going with this... 1 - NVR4208-8p-4ks2 1 - IPC-HDW5231R-ZE 2 - IPC-HDW2231R-ZS 2 - IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE 3.6mm Puts me a little over $900. I like the 5231 for the audio and extra features for driveway. The 2231 for the front and rear door. and the 4231...

Thanks, Comparing this one... NVR4108-8P-4KS2 to NVR4208-8P-4KS2

Thanks alot. Going with the 3.6mm. One last question for you guys. I'm debating on the 4108-8p NVR or the 4208-8p NVR. I'm not real sure of the differences except $100. The 4108 looks like a Netgear router and the 4208 looks like a regular DVR. What are the extra features of the 4208 that...

When chosing the 4231, I have to chose a focal length right? I'm thinking 2.8mm will be too wide. These will probably be going above the front and back door. Maybe 5ft from the door. 3.6mm is the middle of the range. I'm thinking 6mm might be too narrow. Do you think 3.6mm is a good...
