    Dahua NVR Stopped sending emails

    I think this page should answer your query: Generate and manage third-party app passwords | Yahoo Help - SLN15241 I didn't bother trying if it would work as it was simpler just to go back to using gmail

    Dahua NVR Stopped sending emails

    Yes Yahoo needs app specific passwords now; I simply switched back to gmail (which was fixed sometime back)

    Big update!! NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.0.R.20190713

    For some reason, the "Backup" icon only appears using Internet Explorer (don't normally use this browser so never noticed) - where as it is totally missing when logging in using Firefox or Chrome

    Big update!! NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.0.R.20190713

    Hello Really embarrassed as I'm sure I'm just being blind... but I can't see how to actually download the video clips using this new v4.0 interface now? (similar actions to v3 don't seem to exist). Can anyone step me through how to do this please? Thanks

    Dahua NVR Stopped sending emails

    Anyone have any luck? Seems a bit suspicious that it all seemed to stop working around the same time... I tried the same gmail settings in a Hikvision camera and it works fine! So is it something to do with Dahua (both NVR and IPC fail)?

    Dahua NVR Stopped sending emails

    I've tried enabling two factor, then creating a app specific password (since this is more secure than just enabling less secure apps), but this still also tests "Fail"; doesn't give the message where the authentication is wrong.

    Camera recommendation for living room

    I'm also thinking of the 4231F-AS for my internal cams and if mounted in the corners (maybe 6" away) to keep it more discreet, especially since my ceilings aren't that high (lucky to be 8ft not like 10ft like mentioned in post #8). But I can't decide 2.8mm or 3.6mm? I was originally thinking...

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    Any more reports of the revised firmware on this NVR? @Crazykiller posted a 'workaround' here, which whilst not ideal may still be good enough until dahua finally fix it (if they ever do) Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

    I'm keeping a close eye on this thread as I will need to make a purchase soon - still leaning towards a NVR solution rather than BlueIris. Seems like is might be an issue with the 5216 models, does anyone with a NVR4216-4KS2 having the same problem? With the 5216 being the pro model which is...

    Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2

    I am tempted to buy this NVR, but most likely the non POE version, just following this (and the other thread) closely regarding the random reboots... In the meantime, I have had a quick look through the Dahua API manual and just wanted to confirm my understanding: SetRecordModeConfig can be...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Hi nayr I understand using the certificates in place of wifi password authentication but how does it work for apps connecting over a public wifi network in the place of connecting via VPN? For example using a VPN, you would need to establish it before any phone/tablet apps could then access...

    Home Video Surveillance - Security + Baby Monitoring. Wifi + Wired. Help.

    I use the Hikvision DS-2CD2432F that Abbell linked to above as a baby cam - It's wired via the ethernet in the room, but temporary held to a cupboard via some duct tape. Later on this may be repurposed as the hallway camera facing the front door and installed properly.

    What do you use for password management?

    KeePass (Open source so in theory should be more certain no back doors etc)

    What size lens to get?

    Probably want a 2.8mm if situ above or on the side of the door but then on the sides 4mm (or 6mm+) to cover the approach. That's what i was planning for a driveway about 2 car lengths long. I'm not sure what visitors may think if they see a mini dome 2.8 above front door and also a video...

    Wifi Doorbell

    Looks like the Dahua villa plus a couple of monitors and using standard SIP app on mobile devices may still be cheaper than the Doorbird

    Wifi Doorbell

    @galaksy2001 Can't seem to find any info as others have also found info sparse... Does the video monitor make any ringing/door bell chime sounds when activated by the door unit? What I like about the DoorBird is that it has a PIR so video can be captured as someone approaches, even if they do...

    Dahua 4mp, 6mm turrets (IPC-HDW4421C)

    Would be interested in your review @AlpineWatch as this is a model I am interested in.

    New system advice, please.

    On the assumption that you have accepted the increased risk of exposing your camera to the internet, it really doesn't make any difference which port you set it to. People/scripts out there will end up scanning all the ports anyway. As per sysconscious, just set a decent complex password and...

    viewing hikvision nvr on remote tv's?

    Not sure who you are addressing your question to. If me, then I mentioned kodi accessing directly as an alternative to using another app installed on the same device (so you don't have to switch out from kodi). On the remote access away from home, I use a VPN setup rather than opening ports...

    viewing hikvision nvr on remote tv's?

    Kodi can load the RTSP stream directly from the camera. You can create a file containing the link in an accessible location to Kodi and then open/add it to favourites.

    Wifi Doorbell

    Anyone have experience of the Doorbird? It's a fair bit more expensive than the Ring (though nothing like the Loxonne equivalent) but being POE it may actually work.

    Dell 9020 i7-4970 for $510 at Dell outlet this morning!

    These are great deals, shame the UK dell outlet doesn't seem to have anything near this good - way more expensive and only i5s!
