Thanks @samplenhold . So any water entering the gap would drain out through the cable cutout... (Assuming it doesn't find its way into the box...) If I should definitely use a box, is there any preference for this kind of box with the camera base parallel to the wall vs. the wall mount where...

Hi. Apologies if this is covered somewhere I haven't seen (or a downright stupid question), but should Dahua turret cameras placed outside always be mounted base up? While the camera ball itself seems to be sealed, the housing is not. If mounted directly on a wall (without using a wall mount...

Hi. I have a Dahua 5216 NVR - can it be configured to "see" and therefore act on a camera's PIR event? My current setup is a Hikvision 3MP doorbell (the Nelly's version) that does Push notifications on PIR events. It also provides an RTSP stream that I have the NVR configured to record. But...

@area651 : Thanks for the point to What's New. Although it does behave the same, What's new->Latest Activity does have 1 line of content. I think that's my new start page. :)

Hi all. Yes, rather new to the forum and have a quick question: On the HOME screen are shown the Latest Posts. If I hover over the thread title, a pop-up shows the beginning of that post. Is there any way to have this hover (or hovering somewhere else) show the beginning of the Latest(!)...

Thanks @flynreelow , @David L . When we use the light, we like the yellow, less bugs... I think I'll put this on the back burner for now. More pressing things to work on... Maybe pick it up sometime later, if I ever do any home auto... Regards.

@David L: "Chiming" - nice. :) Our porch light isn't bright enough and we generally leave it off anyway unless we have a need for it to be on. It's also a yellow bulb. Tried no IR with the light off and scene was too dark to be useful - not a low lux camera - and without separate Day/Night...

On the 5216 NVR's direct-attached monitor, when Live viewing a camera icons appear in the lower left corner when the NVR is recording, when motion is detected, etc. Is there any way to have these icons appear when Live viewing in WEB SERVICE, gDMSS, or other? Thanks.

Hi all. Newbie here who lurked enough to get the Nelly's version and install it. To give back, here are a few comments/questions: Chime was decades-old Nutone. Xformer was same vintage 10V. To prevent problems, didn't even try to use it - step 1 was to replace with 16V, and no problems...

Thanks @Wildcat_1. I'm a newbie and one of those who have (indirectly) asked, specifically about Pre-Record. I would appreciate a bit further clarification of "IF a target is detected". I have a Dahua 5216 NVR running version 4.0 and a Dahua 5442 test camera. The camera does NOT have an SD...
