I have a Dahua XVR5108HS-i3, and 8 cameras. Before I installed I tested the web interface, and got screen with 8 cameras when I clicked on Live. Now I have the whole thing installed, open the web interface, and see a screen with 4 cameras, which all 4 show a black screen with the text download...

I have the DH-XVR5108HS-I3, which has no physical power button. When I select shutdown from the menu, the device shuts down, but the fan keeps running. Any way to sort that? Another question I have is, can I prevent from automatic logout, so that whenever I connect over the web interface...

I have my Dahua DMSS app linked to my XVR using the P2P method, as I'm too dumb to setup a reliable free DDNS. Is using the P2P method safe, or should I really opt for the DDNS method, and if so, which service do you suggest? Cheers

I have the Dahua XVR 5108HS-I3. My cameras are DH-HAC-HFW2221R-Z-IRE6. I want to test my cameras, so I just power up the XVR and connect it by HDMI to my TV. The TV sees something is connected to the HDMI port. Next I connect one balun to the XVR and another balun to the camera, put a Cat5e...

I need to buy 50 cm long BNC male > female cables to extend the BNC connection between balun and camera. All I can find are coaxial ones, while obviously the one at camera and balun end are not coax. Can I use them?

My cameras are varifocal 2.8-12 mm. I have been Googling for the viewing angle, and can find good info on the width at a certain distance, and the identification angles Now what I would really be interested in, but not able to find, is the closest distance to the camera that can be seen for...

I will use Cat5e to transfer power from my power supply to my cameras, but I don't know exactly how to calculate the voltage drop. Hopefully someone here will be so kind to calculate it for me :) These are the specs. The Cat5e UTP has 24 AWG solid bare copper wires. I will use a pair for...

I'm installing dh-hac-hfw2221rp-z-ire6 cameras and XVR recorder. I have Cat5e cable in place, and have passive Balun already, but consider to pull RG6 coaxial cable instead. Which is recommended, and which will give me the best signal? I assume coaxial is more difficult to handle over long...

I went through some previous threads, as I considered cloud storage, but it seems that this is an option in general advised against. So I have the XVR with internal SSD. I have the cameras and recorder on a UPS, so when they cut the electric before entering it still records. Once they are...

I have 6 piece of these HCDVI cameras HAC-HFW2221R-Z-IRE6 Cat5e cable is installed already. I have these baluns Video Balun Now I plan to buy this 8 port POE switch POE Switch So since I already have the Ethernet cable in place, can I use just 1 Balun at camera side, then transfer power...

I have these Dahua cameras HAC-HFW2221R-Z-IRE6 And intend to purchase this NVR, which has PoE built-in, so to my understanding should be able to power the cameras over network cable, without the need of any other power source. Is that correct? NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2/L Previously, I purchased...

I have purchased 6 piece HAC-HFW2221R-Z-IRE6, and will use Cat5 wire to connect. Therefore I have purchased the following video balun. Cameras came without power supply, which I think is standard. I know they are are 12v but I can't find anywhere how many Amp the power supply should be...

Hi, I purchased Dahua HAC-HFW2221R-Z-IRE6 cameras I'm looking at the XVR-5108HS, but I'm getting confused by all those specs. To be clear, the camera will not target any fast moving objects, so I guess I'll be fine with a 15fps frame rate. Is this recorder capable of recording in 1080p at...

I found a few threads on this forum praising the IPC-HFW4431R-Z for its quality. Now I found the HAC-HFW1200R-VF-IRE6 which is the 2mp version of the former, but is a lot cheaper. I also found posts on this forum that, unless I misunderstand them, say that a 2Mp is better in night vision than a...

Am I correct in my assumption that all Dahua cameras offered on Ebay ending on I2 - I4 - I6 are modifications done by the seller, and can I trust them> I'm in the market for IPC-HFW4431M or K or IPC-HFW4436M or K cameras. The IPC-HFW4431M I can find on the Dahua website , but not ending on I2...

My camera setup will consist of 5 Dahua cameras. I noticed there is a software for Windows called Smartpss, which I assume works only with Dahua cameras. Is that correct? Is this software any good or can't it be compared to Blue iris or alike? I have no need for fancy functions, I have an...

My property is square sized and completely fenced with a 2 meter high perimeter wall. On the wall is a infrared beam security system installed. The house is at each side at least 10 meters separated from the perimeter wall. It may be a bit complicated, and involve more cameras than I want to...

I need to replace my el cheapo ip cameras, which have served me well for about 5 years, and saw some recommendations about Dahua and Hikvision which I find on Ebay at prices that wont break the bank. I'm particularly looking at the IPC-HFW4431M-AS-I2 and DH-IPC-HFW1320S-W as they are in my...
