is there an easy way to switch the upper left and upper right? I know changing ports won’t do anything.

Crisis Averted. I took the 2 problem cams down to hook up via short cord. Just thought I would try them again. Man, like I said in an earlier post these rj45 connections are extremely unreliable and not very secure. Combine that with the new camera boxes I just got which are smaller and...

So you proved that my hardware should play nice. At my last house I had 11 cameras on that NVR. I often switched or upgraded cameras. They were always plug and play. I’ve never had issues like this. Frustrated and thank you.

I have a lot going on with life and work so I am chipping away at this when time allows. My next step will be to take the 2 non working cameras down. I will hook them up alone like you guys suggest with a 4’ pre made and tested cable. Then report back. As I said, I do test my cables...

I am working afternoons next week so it wouldn’t work but no way I would take you up on that if you didn’t let me sent you some $.

Firmware is 2017-06-12 Version 3.203.0000.0.R I have a feeling I need to go out and buy a new NVR.

5442 upper right. Old and cheap 2mp camera lower left.

Found reset button on 5231. No hatch but took 3 screws out of open camera. Held in for 30. Tried on 5442 as well. They are not coming up in the nvr. Idk. Back to my original post. I need professional help. I just want this to work.

And I dont think the new one was configured. It never showed up. It wasn’t searchable. But I will hold the button in. L

No big deal. I can reset the one with the hatch. How do I reset the other one?

The 5442 is brand new. The 5231 doesn’t have a hatch.

I had a cheaper 2mp camera that I plugged into port 4 and boom. It’s up. Working. Idk.

Ok. So it’s been factory reset and all my passwords and stuff set. One of the T5442T’s showed up. I switched the setting to H.264 and lowered the bit rate. That solved the overdecode ability issue. The other T5442T and the 5231 is not showing at all. Not searchable. I’ve...

It’s the old 4216 without 4K.

Thanks!!! Yes. Hooked all 3 up at the same time. This is what I did in the last. Using a 4K tv as the monitor. Did a factory reset, now I don’t know what is happening because the “hdmi 1” port on my tv is no longer discoverable. I don’t know if the NVR doesn’t put out a video...

Omg, so hard to explain and people don't wanted to read a novel. Thats why I think it would be easier over zoom so they can see the screen. I have a NVR 4816 POE (not 4K version but apparently up to 5mp compatible) that I brought from my last house. I have 3 cameras hooked up to it. 2...

I am looking for someone to help me diagnose NVR setup problems. Via FaceTime or zoom etc. not looking for free. I would be happy to pay. In person even better but I am north of Toronto Canada.

I am trying to order 2 cameras and the cart won’t let me change the quantity. I have also sent Andy a couple emails to the accountant I used for him 3 or 4 years ago with no response. Is he still in business and if so, can someone give me his email? Thanks.

Thanks so much. Trying to buy 2 in Andy’s store on this forum but I can only put 1 in cart. May be an iPhone thing. I will try tomorrow from my Mac.

Hi Guys. I am a bit removed from the latest and greatest. In 2018 I upgraded my cameras to the HWD5231’s because at the time they had outstanding low light. I need a couple more cameras. What is current? I have a NVR 4816 so I am limited to 5mp and would like to stick with Dahua.

I have a 16 channel NVR with 9 cameras. my 9 slot is blank. (No camera) and my 9th camera is showing up I’m the 10th preview slot. This is a problem because when I have it in the preview screen for 9, my 9th camera is on the next page. Lol. Not simple like it was with analog cameras...

Ya. Not idea what you are saying but if your method is a solution to my problem please don’t be so vague. Thanks.

I have delt with this for 3 years now finally fed up enough to ask. If I want to copy a 1 minute clip to memory stick to transfer to YouTube. Let’s say channel 1. From 15:34:15 to 15:35:15 the nvr seldom generates just a single file. Now, if I want the whole clip i need to stitch it...

Thanks Chris. So this leads me back to my original problem. If was wasn’t lucky enough to remember my password, house would I have gotten into the system to reset? I likely would have been screwed.

Thank you. There is no reset button on the board. How do I reset to factory?

I’ve tried a few dozen passwords and finally was able to login via old password. So now I am wondering how after pulling the battery to put a new one in, did the unit save my password? Lol. It also has the correct date and time and it’s not connected to the internet. Lol

NVR4816 POE. I upgraded and haven’t used this nvr in a year. Want to repurpose it. Put new battery in. I get to the login screen. Admin is there, but my previous user accounts is gone. (Probably because I reset by replacing battery). Either way, I can not login. I’ve tried 123456...

I think maybe my GMT+\- was wrong. Thank you Robert. I now have it holding st the correct time. Instead of GMT -5. Hours I had to set at GMT-6 to account for daylight savings time. There is no way to do daylight savings time automatically on this thing is there?

Anybody?

This happened to me a few years ago and I forget the fix. I did something months ago to change the time ahead by 12 hours. I have changed the time a few times since but it always reverts back to the wrong time. I am missing a step but forget what. Lol. I go Main menu, system...
