    Reboot nvr daily or weekly?

    Adding on to this in 2025, I set up a weekly reboot schedule on one of my nvr's since it was having trouble playing back footage and connecting to certain cameras. The reboot seemed to help and things are clearing up quite nicely. Being that I have about 60 NVRs that I manage, I am going to...

    Older building with COAX runs

    This is very helpful! thank you! Interestingly enough, they just scrapped this camera rework and are going with an outside contractor who is charging us 5x cost of materials plus labor eyeroll. Never understand paying someone else when we can do the work ourselves.

    Looking to replace all analog cams with IP. COAX run through the building already to 15 camera drops, owner of the company is dead set on using Dahua as we have about 30 properties with cameras and one p2p app for viewing is desired. Will either need to convert from digital to analog and back...

    Older building with COAX runs

    Thank you, I will pick up a pair and try them out! Was hoping for an all in one that would cover 16 cameras, but other building have a similar setup, albeit cat5 is run and BNC connectors needed for the current GANZ NVR.

    Older building with COAX runs

    Hi, I have an older building with coax runs to all previous cameras. We are looking to upgrade the system as remote access is no longer working for us.

    Handling User Access - Dahua NVR

    We currently utilize SmartPSS, but a downfall is that even as a user you can export a device(nvr) to a personal device(phone/pc) and retain camera access if the user is let go. We looked into DSS, and the licensing cost is too high at this time. I have come up with a tiered system of access, and...

    Handling User Access - Dahua NVR

    Thank you for your response, I suppose I didn't make my question clear enough. This is the way that we are currently doing things, but having 20-30 users all with various levels of access, on 18 different NVRs and 9 stand along cams, and needing to go to each NVR (whether remotely or in...

    Handling User Access - Dahua NVR

    In regard to Dahua Technology, I'm wondering if anyone working with multiple Dahua NVRs is handling user logins. Context: I currently manage approximately 30 NVRs at various properties around my state and in a few others, Access is created as a user login locally on the NVR that needs access...

    Camera/NVR questions for commercial property

    Yes, we have already run and terminated cabling to switch away from coax. I've brought up purchasing EmpireTech, and I may be able to utilize one of these as a test unit to try out. However, my team is leaning heavily on sticking with our existing brand (Dahua). Trying to purchase Dahua from any...
