    Dahua NVR - "It has reached the connection threshold!"

    I suspected it was something along those lines. In my implementation, there are two owners using the mobile app exclusively, a TV used as a local monitor via chromecast and me occasionally monitoring the system. Both owners are functionally illiterate, so when I set up their mobile app, I just...

    Remote Viewing Dahua NVR, help needed.

    Would setting backlight to HLC and cranking it up help? That's what we do for nighttime LPR so headlights don't swamp the image. Not sure how it would affect a LED source.

    Dahua NVR - "It has reached the connection threshold!"

    Just in case anyone else runs into this.... The docs that indicate setting Max Connections to zero for unlimited is incorrect. Setting it to zero completely disables remote access. It does not disable local login via loopback.

    Changing time on Dahua NVR

    Do you have it configured to get time from an ntp server? Is your tz set correctly?

    Poe power and Dahua nvr

    Not necessarily. Many NVR's support more cams than they have physical ports, and require an additional switch to support their full limit. Total bw and other considerations still apply.

    Dahua NVR - "It has reached the connection threshold!"

    Started getting this last night. At first, I was having issues saving configurations from the cameras. I know the device has a"'connection limit" of 128, but I don't know what it considers a connection. Clearly not a user session - as there are only two actual users, and we both use the admin...

    General firmware questions

    Welp....never mind. I found that by searching the Dahua site with the model number, it spits back the link to fw with rel notes.

    General firmware questions

    How do I interpret the Dahua fw revisions? One of my cams is a HFW5231E-Z12E currently running 2.620.0000002.0.R, Build Date: 2017-08-30 On Dahua's site, I see: DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.800.0000008.0.R.190619 and...

    NVR not doing address translation this morning

    I went with the poe version with the thought of extended poe plus the higher per port wattage if they want to add a ptz with a built in heater. I can't believe how much time I've piddle away though tweaking things. Doesn't help that the guy who will be using this is illiterate - I don't mean...

    NVR not doing address translation this morning

    All appears normal now. Would this explain why the camera ports have been jumping around? I would open SmartPSS, and all the camera ports would be wrong. I thought I had just mixed them up until about the third iteration. In any case, thanks for the assistance!

    NVR not doing address translation this morning

    Does it matter? Just trying to grok what's happening under the hood. I always assumed the 37777 was just an extraneous display bit, sing the cams are not on that port, the nvr is. I go ahead and readd and delete them.

    NVR not doing address translation this morning

    Removed channel 3 - did not readd, but exited the screen and reentered instead. All is now normal, other then the ports displayed differently, and all the added cams in a state where I can't deleted them. I would have to add them before deleting. Weird.

    NVR not doing address translation this morning

    Ok, this is kind of amusing. I removed the cams from channels 3/4/5. Waited a minute - then readded just channel 3. 4 and 5 came along for the ride, and the links are correct on those - still just linking to the non routable ip for channel 3 which I did explicitly add. Note also how the port...

    NVR not doing address translation this morning

    Already rebooted the NVR - not going to reload the firewall unless I see a specific indicator. What seems to have worked so far is deleting the cam - and then waiting for a while before readding it. This is interesting. I removed another cam, and was waiting to readd it - when it was readded...

    NVR not doing address translation this morning

    I am setting up a system for some folks - was remoted in via vpn and connected to the NVR web interface, while also bouncing to SmartPSS to review video. NVR address is 192.168.40.30 - cams are 10.1.1.65-69 ports 10081-10085 All addresses static. On the Registration page, links have always...

    Warning "No operation authority" when trying to open IVS channel cfg and couple of NVR questions

    I know this is old news to you by now, but for the sake of another newb like me... Add the camera using the DVR ip, and the camera port number. This is the same address as when you log into the camera from the dvr (camera/registration/added device/web browse.) Now I just need to figure out...

    Can't get pan/tilt to work on a HDBW1431E

    I suspect you're right. What's annoying is that it's built like a ptz - and is not remotely user friendly in terms of manually aiming it. I have several of the HDW1320's, and I kinda wish I'd just picked up another of those. I wasn't looking for pan/tilt - I just wanted a bit more tamper...

    Can't get pan/tilt to work on a HDBW1431E

    It's normally attached to a Dahua NVR - at home with me currently trying to dope it out. I realized it's a fixed lens, but I know the specs indicate it's pan/tilt - and it has what looks like a gimbal. Lens remains in it's straight down position. Hard to believe I would have to open the dome...

    Feedback on my plan, please.

    Thanks - I noticed some oddness in the way the HFW4431R-Z is presented on Aliexpress. Reevaluating that choice - I liked the combination of low price and modest zoom - saves me if client decides - as they probably will - that the location they specified isn't what they actually want.

    Feedback on my plan, please.

    Thanks - IPVM looks like a nice tool - going to use that right away. Low light isn't anything the client has asked for, and when we talked I didn't hear anything that prompted me to push for it. With an overview cam and a cam acting as LPR aimed at the single point of access, I'm not going to...

    Feedback on my plan, please.

    I have a project for a gravel pit that's had some vandalism and vehicle theft. I've worked with a couple of video systems previously - I didn't spec them and they were awful to use. Client is problematic - they've seen features in systems at other companies, but have no clue as to cost or...

    Thanks! I'll post up my plan there.

    They keep dragging me back

    I'm supposed to be retired, but I have a couple of people/companies that I have a hard time telling NO. I have a project for a gravel pit that's had some vandalism and vehicle theft. I've worked with a couple of video systems previously - I didn't spec them and they were awful to use. Client...
