    Turn speakers Down. Parade!

    Using up all of their carbon credits. :-) Yesterday we had a birthday girl across the street and she had a pretty long drive-by including a couple of cops and a fire truck (their next door neighbor is a fireman). Then a few minutes later,the next door neighbor had a pretty good drive-by for...

    Hail Mary for an older DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Here is another little oddity. The box has four blue LEDs on the front. STATUS, HDD, NET, Power. There are two 1TB drives inside. After going through the initialization, I can use the interface to look at their status, format them. etc. But the HDD LED on the front is NOT on. What IS on...

    Hail Mary for an older DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Well, I got the new battery on the board and it's reading 3.2V, but still no joy. It still will not retain any settings. Except network settings. The old name I gave it, and the ip address from years ago it remembers, but not the new one I put in. I guess it's toast. One question - There...

    I'm not sure about this, but I think they are qualified to use HOV lanes. Even in Commiefornia.

    Hail Mary for an older DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Thanks Steve. I have also ordered a couple of CR1022 sockets that look like they might fit. If they don't fit, I'll definitely be looking for some sort of heat sinking material that isn't also conductive. Wayne

    Hail Mary for an older DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    OK, I took the board out and de-soldered the battery connections out, but not before I blew up the battery itself. So now the question is, where do I find a replacement that has the tin board connectors soldered on? It's a CR-1220 So I might be able to make-shift something, but it would be...

    Hail Mary for an older DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Battery??? Geez, I have looked at that thing a thousand times and it never registered. I'm sure the thing is probably toast, but any tips on how to get that little shi . . . .I mean thing out? Looks to be soldered in.

    Hail Mary for an older DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Before I start salvaging this old NVR for parts I just thought I'd ask if anyone has any other suggestions on how to fix it. The problem it developed is that it will not save ANYTHING. It's like the EEPROM, or whatever is used to save settings, is dead. When I hook it up to a monitor and turn...

    DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 firmware upgrade questions.

    Some good news and some bad news. I finally succeeded in upgrading the firmware on my NVR, but not without some good scares. I have the firmware .bin file stored on my NAS. I copied this onto a USB thumb drive thinking I would have to use it in the NVR. Turns out I just point to the file on my...

    DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 firmware upgrade questions.

    Andy - what is the latest version of the NVR5216-16P-4KS2, and what price can you give me? I've been wanting to build in redundancy anyway? Wayne

    Maybe he just wants an insurance claim so he can get a new blower to relace his pos blower.

    DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 firmware upgrade questions.

    This is very confusing. Is there some way to find out if I have V1 or V2? Maybe in the serial number, or ????? When looking at the list of supported NVR's, there are some non-E models such as "NVR5208/5216/5232-8P-4KS2". I think this one is my machine even though it only shows the 8P, but I...

    DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 firmware upgrade questions.

    Maybe (hopefully) the 4KS2 means version 2.

    DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 firmware upgrade questions.

    Thanks, Re: going back, I have read that it has been done by several people, but not when going the the V4 firmware. I don't see what the difference would be, but I did read that. Have you reverted V4 back to a V3 version yourself????

    DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 firmware upgrade questions.

    I have just found out that there is a (much) newer version of firmware from DaHua, but in looking through the compatible NVR's I do not see my EXACT model found. I am currently running version 3.215.0000000.3, Build Date: 2017-12-11, and I am looking at...

    You be the judge.

    Something seems to be destroying people's ability to think logically and reasonably. It has to be either something the Chinese put in all that crap they send to this country, or global warming. OH wait!! Not global warming but climate change. Wayne

    You be the judge.

    I saw a news article here in Commiefornia that police won't even investigate unless the value of stolen property is over $950. Thieves are now carrying calculators to make sure they don't go over that amount. I don't know if it is true or not, but if I had to put money on it I would say it is.

    Best Delivery Experience - Thank you UPS LOL

    All of the delivery drivers that have come to my door have been professional. Even the small envelope deliveries that could be frizbee'd from the street, they bring to the door and place them. I don't know if they see my cameras because the times I checked them, the drivers did not appear to...
