Hi, Needing exactly this configuration NVR and it is for existing Dahua cameras. My question is if this is a robust NVR and simple enough for a nutcase like me to setup and use? :) Don't mind spending the money for something that will be a good investment. Looking at getting it from B&H as...

Almost forgot that. My mistake the first time around. Go to a local Starbucks or some other place with wifi. Remember with a VPN you are secure in the connection.

The zip file you download from the router in step 2 and place them in the folder noted in step 7. Now I'm not real good at this so if you have done that and its not working then maybe something in your setup needs the files somewhere else????? Also make sure that if you make any changes to the...

Andy direct was how I went and he shipped quick. Good businessman!

Ya know I have that and just have not gotten around to trying it with the VPN connection.

I don't see any problem with how you will connect it. I think it only matters that you have an IP address for it and then it can be found on your network. As far as the camera. I love mine and they seem to work great. Great picture day or night but at night between the garages it may not give...

First off this only covers my use with a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Model R7000. This was purchased in late 2017. Installed after the cable modoem and then connected to a switch with POE (Power Over Ethernet) for the cameras. All cameras are connected directly to this switch. I do not use a DVR...

Now I have gotten back to Cali and got the VPN working which took a little while. I'll post about that within a couple days. Does work really cool!!!

Ah, I have treaded these waters for some time and almost drowned. I ended up having to go to Pale Moon browser (32 bit version, called the X86 download) Then after opening up the cameras own software in the browser you need to click on the download link. My Anti-virus would not let me download...

Pale Moon 32 bit WORKS!!! I ammended the info above for this. It shows on the download page as the X86 version. Cheers, Pete

Bad dog no biscuit! :-) All little bit of info which makes the big picture come together.

AAAAHHHHHH!!! The plot thickens!! And yes of course I installed the 64 bit as that is the Windows I use. This one I never would have figured out. How did you stumble upon this??

The wonderful world of computers! I can have both browsers closed and open NACL and it works so maybe that is the program and once chrome deletes support it will use Pale Moon. Maybe nobody will ever know! :) Anyway I'll move on the the rest of the info. As of today chrome works with...

Tried this a few times. Even uninstalled the plug-in rebooted and downloaded + installed again. Go to Pale Moon and still not showing picture, asking for plug-in. "I" and I mean "Me" is missing something in this equation. I do not see any toolbar of any kind in Pale Moon to find a place to...

So here again I'm only getting bits and pieces. OK I disabled AVG and downloaded the file, ran the program and it installed, I guess, as it did not ask me anything. How do I open the plug-in? Do I just open it from the windows start menu? It's the same plug-in I used with chrome how does it know...

bp2008, So this is one of the problems with us dense people. You mention using the Palemoon browser because it "supports old NPAPI plugins and can be used to access most cameras". So I download it, start it up and try to access the camera but no live view and it asks me to click for plug-in...

I have had a tough time starting out with the whole IP camera thing. So much of the information on this forum is just a single degree past the noob like me that it was difficult to grasp much of the stuff talked about or understanding how it worked and because of that I decided to make the...

Did learn not to format the card in the camera, when I did it disappeared and even rebooting both via camera software and unplugging POE did not bring it back. Had to connect it to my desktop and reformat then reinstall and all is good. Now I have to reinstall the camera on the mount so if it...

Partial success!!! So stupid on my part, I admit it and please tell people this. I will still do a Dummy's Guide to setup when all done. TIME! So simple, never thought of it. Checked the SD card on my computer and the files were all marked as year 2000. Went to the camera and changed it now...

I'm gonna go out later and get Samsung and also try the smartpss but its on my laptop so have to wait till after work. My time zone is Hawaii right now and I start at 4AM my time to be with our west coast office :-( Pete

Maybe the SD card. Using a Lexar 32GB..........................did I screw up? I only want to take snapshots when motion is tripped.

alastairstevenson, I'm aware of these things and the time zones really aware of, just am so frustrated that some simple things are not anywhere in the manual. I have two cameras with SD cards and the cards are filling up from motion detection but the playback shows nothing there. Formatted...

ewc1111, Thanks, I'll try this later after work. I use Chrome with the NACL plug-in. Now I understand why the ones sent to the NAS are .bmp format. I'm sure it's some setting I have wrong but it's very confusing so I will follow your steps and let you know. Thanks so much for taking the time to...

Well I have either broken an unwritten rule of conduct or my questions are so stupid nobody wants to reply. Sorry either way.

Hi, I got the IPC-HDW5231R-Z from Andy and I'm confused on seeing the snapshots via the camera software. I have it setup for motion detection and I can see that it must be working as the SD card is filling up but in playback it shows nothing. I choose the SD card and the .jpg format but...

Thanks weigle2! I did that yesterday and can take snapshots manually from the cameras own software which are sent to the SD card. I can see the used space on the card change when I take the snapshots but the software will not show the pictures. I did notice that when sending them to the network...

Pardon my ignorance on all this but I have a basic question on how this works. Even after reading I'm confused........as my wife and kids like to point out :-) I have 5 IPC-HDW5231R-Z all working fine with different ip addresses. They are hooked into a poe switch and all of this hooked into my...

Thanks Looney2ns! I found each one as I installed, did the config and changed each one to a different ip. I can log into each one using the NACL plugin for chrome of all of them using the SmartPSS from my desktop.

I'm still playing around with mine but right out of the box they worked great. Be careful some are set to 192.168.1.110 and some 192.168.1.108. Drove me nuts for a little while. I'm not very tech savvy on this stuff. Pete
