    Dahua cams/NVR dropping frame sections right at the money shot

    Could I get a hand here? I continue to get the issue of playback looping/missing when using the main Web GUI under "search" or "AI". I watched the (very useful) video mentioned above: Dahua NVR5208 saving Playback files problem. Download option missing. When I log into a cam, and then go...

    Search function on Dahua NVR shows solid alarm trigger

    No - as per the pic, there's no single red "trigger events". It comes up as just one solid red block, Interestingly, I have realised the period it does this for is the set overnight times under "alarm", even though I have no alarm functions enabled. I've tried to refresh this and I'll see what...

    Wouldn’t that simply make it a webcam?

    Search function on Dahua NVR shows solid alarm trigger

    Hi again. I’m not sure why this has started, but one of my cams, when I use the “Search” function to look at overnight triggers, shows a solid red block for the entire night.... NVR DHI-NVR5216-16p-4ks2e Cam in question Ipc-hdw5241h-as-pv I have reset/checked any rules directly via the...

    Where did my Dahua NVR GUI access go?

    Whew! Got some homework!! Thanks mate. I’ll tackle all that when I wire my remaining 3 cams. That would be a good time to start over!

    Where did my Dahua NVR GUI access go?

    ah dammit. I didn't get around to setting a static address in the router. Now my GUI is gone again. It (the NVR) doesn't appear in the traffic list of my router (as far as I can figure). Now what? How on earth do I find it? Thinking about Catcamster's note above, yes, I added my 3rd cam...

    Dahua cams/NVR dropping frame sections right at the money shot

    My version (which I thought was the latest?) is V4.001.0000000.1, Build Date: 2020-03-19 I don't have "Backup" as a selection option..... Also, just out of curiosity, why did you go with 2 tripwires - one squiggly and one straight?

    Where did my Dahua NVR GUI access go?

    Thanks CC. I didn't think I'd enabled P2P? How would I check? I can now get the NVR through 192.168.1.2 as you suggested. Why did it change from 192.168.1.4??

    Where did my Dahua NVR GUI access go?

    Ah I found it. It's moved (I thought this was a static IP??) from 192.168.1.4 to 192.168.1.2 So what's going on here, and why does it not appear in my router as an active IP address?

    HI all. Another question please! Here's the setup so far: Dahua DHI-NVR5216-16p-4ks2e Cameras so far: 1. IPC-t5241-as-pv 2mp 2.8mm (same as IPC-hdw5241h-as-pv 2. IPC-e3541f-as-m 5mp 2.8mm (same as dh-ipc-hdbw3541f-as-m) 3. IPC-t5442tm-as Now, until yesterday all was going ok. I was...

    NVR doesn't seem to save changed passwords for cameras

    I’ll stick to your idea Fish, whereby I’ll do everything directly via camera and ignore the settings on the NVR. That seems to so far be fixing some of my issues!

    IVS Tripwire on Dahua

    Very helpful CC. I have an alarm unit in the same place as the NVR, so it’d be easy to setup. The one down side I’d imagine would be “false positives” making the very noisy alarm go off incessantly.....!

    IVS Tripwire on Dahua

    To jump back on this thread, can I please ask a silly question? What is the difference between an "alarm" vs a triggered IVS rule? That is, are "alarms" for notifications to an external receiver (such as a phone), vs "events", where, say, a person has crossed a tripwire (as per a preset...

    Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

    Hi guys. I installed the day/night link here which seemed to go ok. Today I noticed one cam, when reviewing overnight footage, the time bar (on the Dahua NVR) is a solid block of red ("alarm"). I had also added some tripwire rules. Could the day/night addon have anything to do with it...

    Simplest way to see cams on tv

    So it looks like I should just crawl under the house with a long (and I assume basic quality) HDMI cable and permanently hook it up from the rear port on the NVR to an HDMI-in port on the telly. I tend to use an ipad at home, so I can look at anything I need on that, so the TV would mostly be...

    NVR doesn't seem to save changed passwords for cameras

    Thanks Fish. Understood. Yeah, I had tried a reboot (both camera and NVR). I like to be able to see the little coloured stripes along the timeline indicating various events, but the one particular camera won't do it. Oddly, I can do an "IVS Search" and events are all logged on the little...

    NVR doesn't seem to save changed passwords for cameras

    Thanks! That seemed to work for at least one cam, however: - the settings that I installed directly onto the camera (ipc-t5241h-as-pv) IVS via the camera's web GUI don't seem to appear on the NVR when I use it's GUI. Is that normal? It does, regardless, seem to be applying the rules i...

    NVR doesn't seem to save changed passwords for cameras

    Hi all. I have a Dahua DHI-NVR5216-16p-4ks2e that I got off the (very helpful) Andy. I have just now upgraded to latest firmware without an issue. From the outset, I noticed that the individual camera login/passwords don't save. That is, I log in via the web GUI, go camera>camera list, tick...
