    Hooked up HDW4300C to a 100ft network cable and installed a remote viewing app on my iPhone... works good just need to figure out how to best adjust the angle of the cam to capture front door & porch. I'm assuming the 3.6mm is fixed inside this unit and I can just play with the allen screws to...

    Looking for what is the newest dahua NVR part numbers

    The NVR5216 and newer NVR4416 seem very close. NVR4416 has 128 max users vs 20 | 200M bandwidth vs 160M | 4 HDD up to 16TB vs. 2 HDD up to 8TB.... I'm leaning towards NVR5216

    Ya bummer.. Still need to reach another neighbor. House is fully visible from street and neighbors across can see if they were home. One older woman poor eyes and others work during the day. I want to leave another fake pkg on the porch to see if I can bait to determine if some local kid.

    What is difference between Dahua NVR4216 & NVR5216 ?

    I liked the NVR5216 because it had a BNC out that I could rf modulate to my TV's simultaneous to HDMI. Looks like NVR4216 doesn't have BNC out. I've been told by a reseller that the NVR4216 has been updated from the older model which is NVR5216.

    The porch is a well lit area so IR isn't 100% necessary. Porch lights are on a timer which can be modified to ensure lighting is always available.

    Which models can't be wall mounted for my front door / porch area? I'm planning to go with a couple 4300S for viewing the driveway / front yard / side yard but the porch is the challenge now.

    What is the main difference between Dahua & Hikvision since people tend to like one or the other? Quality, specs, frequency of firmware updates... While Costco is nice bundled you don't have the luxury of selecting the cams you want for specific locations.
