    Willing to Pay

    Guys, I have 4 Dahua Turret cameras installed from Andy. I have the NVR (non-POE), POE Switch and Edge Router. I have all the cables pulled and IP addresses assigned to all the devices. I am in dire need of help on getting the NVR part all setup correctly. At this point I am more than...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS Camera Manufacturer

    I am adding my cameras one by one to my non-poe nvr. What camera manufacturer should I select? I do not see Dahua specifically. I have the Dahua turret cameras.

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS

    My NVR does not have POE. I have it plugged directly into my Edge Router as previously suggested, and then my cams all plugged into my POE switch. If I were to do a factory reset on the NVR wouldn't I lose my work in regards to me changing the ip address to the proper subnet?

    Agreed, I have yet to find good notes in the Cliff Notes and having trouble finding a step by step for this NVR. I am pretty close to trying to find a professional in the Houston area to finish off my setup.

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS

    Well I had a small netbook with windows I was able to use. @bababouy the active X stuff helped out and I was able to get the plugins installed. Now I am assuming I need to add all my cameras to this NVR interface. However, I am under the setup tab and I am a bit lost on my next steps here.

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS

    10/4, I thought I had read somewhere that Chrome was not supported, now that you say this. Tonight when I get home I will try Internet Explorer. However, I just looked and IE is not supported on the Mac, which is of course my laptop.

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS

    @bababouy thanks that one was a few years back. I found the config tool. That is super cool and easy to find all your Dahua devices quickly. Now my issue is this, my DHCP address on my laptop is on the 192.168.2.1 network while the NVR is sitting on the 192.168.1.1 network and I can not get...

    Thanks @bababouy and @AlbertoIt I will work on finding the config too this afternoon. I assume it is different than Smart Pss, which I already have installed?

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS

    I do have a PC in the same network. So in this case I can just get the ip of the NVR and login? My Dahua did not come with any instructions in the box like default ip address, username and password. So I do not necessarly need to go out and buy a new monitor for configuration of the NVR...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS

    I just got all my cameras installed and run to my POE Switch as well as my Dahua NVR5216-4KS Now do I need to get an old monitor to hook up to the NVR to start the set up, or what are my options? I hate to go buy an old monitor just for setup, but will if I have to. Thanks guys.

    Dahua NVR Purchased

    I have most of my cameras installed, and they are all wired to a POE switch in the garage. Now I have my Dahua NVR. I went through the wiki, and although it gets into setting up the VLAN and isolating the cameras somewhat I have not found a step my step or instructions on how to set the Dahua...

    Junction Box

    Well it looks like I have one camera that needs to have conduit run to it. I was really hoping to be able to do all of them flush mounts, and snacking all the wires inside the walls. So now I am looking for the junction box that would go with IPC-HDW5831R-ZE camera. Does anyone have a part...

    Yeah I meant 108, but for some weird reason when I plug my computer into my switch directly it says connected. However, when I connect the ethernet cable to the camera it says the cable is unplugged. This sounds more like my computer problem than the camera, but any insight would be mighty...

    I have already connected to one camera directly from my PC to my new dahua camera. Now on these second batch of cameras I can not direct connect from my pc via ethernet cable. I see the default ip is 192.168.1.8 for the camera. My PC settings are 192.168.1.2 and subnet 255.255.255.0 and have...

    Thanks Andy! I do not see a link, other than your name. So if I am in the US would you recommend running PAL or NTSC? I see these two all the time, but have no idea the differences.

    I got 4 IPC-HDW5231R-ZE all from Andy. I have installed one already, and still have 3 in the box, that I was planning on hanging this weekend. I was reading some more on the wiki cliff notes, and it is talking about firmware updates. Is there a firmware update for this model, and if so where...

    Finding a NVR

    I fish mostly out of Galveston Bay Complex and get over to Sabine as much as possible. Grand Isle, I went to the fishing tournament there one year. That was a hell of a time. I cant wait to get back out there. I have a cabinet I am going to try to stick it in, before I pull another cable.

    In that case it sounds like I will have to pull another cable, unless the NVR is not noisy.
