Hello, I'm not sure I'm running the latest version? I do a manual check and the NVR is saying it is but? This one seems newer? I have a DHI-NVR5416-4KS2 hardware version 1

So, I've turned off P2P on the NVR and I've now set up gDMSS using ip address/domain I can now view the cameras on gDMSS app even when the NVR's nic2 ip address is blocked Do I need to block the NVR from the internet? Is it likely to want to try and call home? Is it a security issue if its not...

I've done some more testing... So, if I disable the rule in untangle blocking the Dahua NVR's nic2 ip address I can access the cameras via gDMSS via the wan side... wifi on phone turned off. I should mention that I set up the gDMSS app and the connection using the inbuilt P2P function on the...

Hi, I have my NVR(nic1) and cameras on 172.17.2.x and my local my LAN (untangle) is on 192.168.2.x I have assigned the second nic on the NVR as DHCP and it is now on 192.168.2.x Do I need to block the NVR nic 2 from the internet? With no firewall rule created- I've managed to set up gDMSS on...

thanks cage771 bp2008, what app did you use to view the cams on the windows tablets?

catcamstar, I've looked at things like that but my cabinet isn't very deep so a lot of things don't fit. Plus its nice to have the screen always "on" so I can view the IP cams.

copex, thanks for your input its greatly appreciated. I'd love to be able to remove the cable management, but unfortunately the monitor is sitting on it. While I do have a bracket for the monitor, I find it impossible to work with unless I remove everything from the rack. At the moment the top...

catcamstar and Valiant, thank you both for your input. I've still not decided but you have both given me something to think about...

Hi, how would you run the cables? Would you use short cables? say 25cm or less? OR Run long cables from the switch out to the right and back to the patch panel? My understanding is that the benefit of the long cables is that you can pull one device out (like I had to today) and you don't...

Hi SouthernYankee, thanks for your response and yep I intend on eventually implementing all 3 of your recommendations. I've built a small pc to run Untangle, which I have to connect to the network and from there it will be network addressing.... but more of that later. Has anyone used a Windows...

Hi, I'm in the process of setting up my home network (more questions to come), and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with tablets running Windows 10? Are there benefits of using a tablet running Windows 10 to view my Dahua cameras at home on my LAN, compared to an Android tablet? I...

Thanks for the review Loony While these new cameras don't fit the old junction boxes we used with the 5231's, am I correct in thinking they will fit the Wall Mount Brackets that were used with the 5231 cams? PFB203W Also, do you have to have a special NVR to use the AI features of the camera?

Thanks everyone for your input... more to think about

Thanks fenderman & SouthernYankee So, no static IP required, now to choose a new router/mesh system and Asus are near the top of the list

Thanks you Fenderman, always to the point. Valiant, that is pretty much what I was thinking.... easier and possibly more reliable TonyR I haven't set up a VPN server before, but do you need to have different hostnames? Or can you just use one to access all the cameras? Another question - if...
