    Assistant t-shooting Dahua NVR4108-8P

    If I am understanding this correctly.....the password that you set for the admin account when first configuring the NVR is the same password the NVR will attempt to connect to the cams when you hook everything up....? And if I need to change I just follow the screenshot instructions you listed...

    Yeah I'd really like to do this option but the NVR won't let me change the password to what I originally had on the previous one for some reason....I used 2 different options as stated by the password text box (both lowercase and a number in the middle). The only way it would take it when I was...

    Reviving this thread to ask another question....I finally was able to get my family member to purchase a new NVR (same model as before: 4108-8P). I just got done doing some pre-configuration before I plan on going over and hooking it up later this week (date / time, password, etc). My question...

    I assume buying a new unit it will come with a limited time replacement warranty just in case something like this happens again?

    Well I tried another power brick over at a buddy's house and the same thing is happening so I am thinking the unit is shot. Looks like its time to buy another unit from @EMPIRETECANDY

    No "bad" history as far as I know. Device has worked as expected for the last several years. It was plugged into a simple surge protector but that doesn't mean it didn't take a strike... although everything else plugged into same surge is currently working so who knows:idk:

    I suppose ur talking about the power brick / cord that powers the unit and not something directly connected to the board? If so I can see if I have a spare PS laying around that I can try....

    It's a family members nvr so exact time frames are not possible to get. Although I do know it was working perfectly fine a few months back (as I hooked up a second cam for them and it was working great at that time). They basically just let me know it wasn't working while we were out to dinner...

    Yes via vga connection and nothing comes up on the screen. Basically the monitor tells me nothing connected to that specific input. And that's both with and without HDD connected.

    Hey all...I have a 4108-8P that is not powering on. I took the cover off and the only light I see is an orange light on the board. I've tried disconnecting the HDD and nothing changes...still same orange light. If I put my ear down next to the board and listen carefully the only thing I hear...

    BI not recording more than a few days on an 8TB drive...Help Please!

    My clips section to the right is showing "empty list" so whatever i did before appears to have cleared out everything. I will just let it ride for now and see if there are any improvements instead of redoing the db maintenance.

    BI not recording more than a few days on an 8TB drive...Help Please!

    Can I just create a new folder named "Alerts" (which is what it is called under the C: drive) and add it under the D: drive where my recordings and database are being stored and then just point the directory under the BI console for Alerts to that new folder location? Will that work or am I...

    BI not recording more than a few days on an 8TB drive...Help Please!

    Out of an 8TB drive it shows 7.27 available for use. How would I change alerts to the D: drive where the "Recordings" are saved? Just move the alerts folder from the c: drive over to the d: drive or just make a folder on the d: drive and call it Alerts and point BI to that?
