I have a NVR5216-16P-4KS2 with 11 cameras attached, and now I would like to view the cameras on an Ubuntu Linux machine. I have tried Pale Moon browser (the latest 64-bit), and Firefox with the same result. I get logged into the NVR and go to the Live View window. I see all the cameras listed...

I'm asking because it seems I have just had another one fail. That is the second in about 4 years which seems far to often. For this latest one, I upgraded to the latest firmware about 3-4 months ago and it has been running fine. Until today. At some point overnight it hung up or something...

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...

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...

I have had gdmss (lite and plus) installed on my android phone for a while. Last week, there was a system update that just made my phone go bonkers. My phone just kept rebooting over and over and over and . . . for at least a day. It was so bad that I thought the phone was toast, but it...

Noticed that I was not able to look at my cameras and started trying to find out why. My NVR is not close to a tv so only viewable via IE or Pale Moon browsers. So I launch Pale Moon and enter the IP address of the NVR. It takes several minutes just to get a login screen, and after entering...

I saw this question asked about a year ago and there was no answer to the poster, so I am going to try again. I have been trying to get SmartPSS running on my Windows 10 Home laptop. I downloaded and installed V2.02 from the DaHua download site, and the installations appears to have run fine...

I am looking for a DaHua starlight camera that has the same form factor as the HFW1320S. Is there such a critter? Thanks, Wayne

I've been searching for info on this and have not found anything satisfactory, which probably answers my question. But I thought I remembered reading somewhere about an inexpensive device that would allow two IP PoE cameras to be connected with one Ethernet cable. At the time I didn't think I...

What I am looking for is a mini bullet along the lines of the HFW1420S or HFW4421S, but with either a 8mm lens, or maybe even a 10 or 12mm. All the ones I have seen so far top out at 6mm. I'd rather not get into a DIY solution, so if anyone knows of a camera that fits . . . Oh, I would...

I have a newly acquired 3D printer and a spare port on my NVR (DaHua NVR5216-16p-4ks2), so I thought it might be kinda fun to put a camera on the printer so I could monitor the progress of prints via the NVR. I know this isn't a very good use of a security system, but what the heck. I have all...

I have the subject camera and whenever I reboot my NVR5126-16P-4KS2, the camera's time display is off by 15 hours. I have the Date&Time settings in the NVR set to MM-DD-YYYY, 12-Hour, and GMT-7.00. This one camera is on my LAN so I can use MSIE to make the same settings in the camera. I make...

Just curious if anyone knows the file formats for config backups. This would be from SETUP>SYSTEM>IMP/EXP>Config Export. I was just curious what is in there that I could mess with. :-) Wayne

I have a Windows 10 Pro computer onto which I have installed SmartPSS. This is the latest International version from the DaHua website V2.00.1.R.20170225. After installing it, everything runs just fine. For a week or two. Then it has a failure to launch. When I double-click the desktop icon...

I have recently purchased a DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 NVR and I need some recommendations for cameras that will "work properly" with it. By "work properly" I mean plug-and-play cameras that will start recording immediately when connected to the NVR. I have two HFW1320SP cameras (updated with the...

I have three Lorex LNB3321B cameras which are very similar to a couple of the DaHua models. Put them side-by-side and you cannot tell the difference visually except my Lorex cameras are black. I would guess that the closest DaHua model might be something like the IPC-HFW1220S, or maybe even my...

I just bought the subject NVR and have been trying to get it deployable for the last few days. I thought I'd try it despite having to configure the cameras directly using the individual camera web interfaces. Completely unable to do so using the NVR to do it. Anyway, I moved three camera...

I have been looking into upgrading firmware on my DaHua cameras. For the time being, I only have three. I have two HFW1320SP cameras, and one HFW2320R-ZS. When I was looking for the firmware for the 1320s a couple of days ago, there was two that came close. They mentioned HFW1320S, but not...

I didn't see a forum for general questions about cameras, so I'll try here for now. I have some Lorex equipment, and four of the cameras are advertised with Color Night Vision. I have four of the cameras, but are probably older first generation cameras. As such, the color night vision is...

So far only two quick observations. 1. Received it from China in only 7 days. Not too bad. 2. Those Chinese sure know how to tape up a box. I had already received my WD 4TB Purple, so I now have that installed. Now I just have to find a [expletive] Windows computer. AAARGH! SWMBO is...
