    Dahua XVR510 looses settings

    Thirdly, double clicking on any live feed on the video wall, there is a 50/50 chance that you either get the full screen video or the main menu. If you do get the full screen, double clicking to get back to the main video wall, results in the same 50/50 chance of either getting back or getting...

    Dahua XVR510 looses settings

    Hi all, Been reading and researching ever since I updated to a XVR510 and I've been running into a few more snags.

    Dahua XVR510 purchase confusion

    I managed to find one that I had in my attic that has enough horsepower to run it actually which is great.

    Dahua XVR510 purchase confusion

    Thanks fenderman, figured as much, just a bit overwhelmed with the new cameras, digital wide dynamic range options on/off, color adjustments, went a little overkill for a home setup admittedly but wanted to make sure before I committed and went forward. I'm researching the npapi issue, wish...

    Dahua XVR510 purchase confusion

    Hi all, Did the purchase years back for a QSEE costco deal, old 600tvl cams, 8 channel. Worked pretty well and it was my first time doing a cam install and overall, it worked well minus the need to install a plugin when accessing the DVR via a local network via IP.
