    Unable to view NVR/Cams via phone app on Local Network!

    Agree....I will try to configure using the "NVR" option when I go over next time and ensure we are connected to wireless (LAN). Weird because I've assisted numerous times with cam / nvr installs and have always done and used the same settings :banghead:

    Unable to view NVR/Cams via phone app on Local Network!

    I can't remember which step I did first to be honest....I believe when I first had him download the app (of course he was on wireless at the time) i tried to enter in both WAN and LAN but neither were working. So then as a test I did port forward (37777 first) and took him off of wireless and...

    Unable to view NVR/Cams via phone app on Local Network!

    Along with trying to connect on my own phone first and depending on results...I am definitely going to try and connect via P2P using the serial number of the nvr.

    Unable to view NVR/Cams via phone app on Local Network!

    Yeah I've been doing a lot of research this am and found some posts online that say sometimes when xfinity broadcasts their other wireless network (xfinity hotspot) it can mess with client isolation and some devices may not be able to communicate with each other. The next time I stop by I will...

    Unable to view NVR/Cams via phone app on Local Network!

    All good thoughts...although I can pretty much take the guest network suggestion out of the equation. Only one wireless network setup when I was logged into the xfinity router management interface. And pretty sure when I looked at his phone and turned off wireless in order to go to cellular...

    No problem man....really appreciate the feedback and support. Just for background info because I missed putting this in my first post, the router is an rented Xfinity Xfi router / modem combo.

    Unable to view NVR/Cams via phone app on Local Network!

    Hey all...hoping someone can help me out here. I'm baffled as I've never had this happen before. Have a buddy that ordered a package deal from empiretech/Andy, dahua cams and nvr. He installed everything and asked if I would swing by on my way home from work and make sure everything looked...

    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...

    Assistant t-shooting Dahua NVR4108-8P

    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...

    Assistant t-shooting Dahua NVR4108-8P

    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

    Assistant t-shooting Dahua NVR4108-8P

    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....

    Assistant t-shooting Dahua NVR4108-8P

    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?

    Hey all, as the title says my BI machine for about the last month or so is having some issues. I am not getting recording for more than a few days to a week on an 8TB drive. I've attempted to read a decent amount of threads in order to fix but something is not working. Not sure if its due to...

    @bp2008 Anamorphic and Area of Interest are not checked. However in regards to your second observation, the web log in for the camera shows the main stream set to the highest resolution of 2688 * 1520 and BI console shows 1920 * 1080 and it is grayed out and not sure how I would change it. So...

    @bp2008 Any ideas why the bottom of the cam picture is cut off while viewing in the Blue Iris web interface? Doesn't matter whether I connect to older style web interface or UI3 still the same thing. However when I connect directly to the camera via IE for example and do a "live view" the...
