    Dahua NVR Setup Issues...

    What are the basic procedures to install a late model Dahua 5-series NVR? My current issues are: -Unit Beeps. The beeps are a sequence of 4 beeps (long-short-long-short). I assume this is HDD related and that the drive cannot be seen. -Password Error. After initialization, with ConfigTool on...

    Headless NVR Configuration & Administration?

    Can a standalone, appliance-style NVR (Dahua or Hikvision) be configured initially and administered as a headless (without a monitor, keyboard or mouse) device? Thanks, R

    Where to buy International Dahua Security Products?

    Where to buy International Dahua Security Products? I know it’s blasphemous to suggest that we question A***Cams or Emp*reTech but hear me out. What if I wanted, Dahua cams (and other gear) with the: -Dahua Logo… -Dahua firmware… -Dahua box… -Dahua sticker that shows: model...

    Locating New Dahua Cam on the LAN (Not: 192.168.1.108)

    I have a Dahua cam this suppose to be new but I was not able to reach it via 192.168.1.108 after changing my host machine to that same subnet. Now I'm curious, I would like to know the current IP address of this device. How might I reveal the current, apparently fixed, IP address? BTW: I tried...

    S3 animal detection

    Does it not seem strange that Dahua is just getting Animal detection when Arlo had this in 2018? Yes I know there are benefits to the 5442 lineup.... but the smart features that do: pets vehicles and packages have been implemented by others 6 years ago. Am I missing something? R

    Apple TV Viewing of Cam Streams?

    I’m not sure if this is a camera or NVR functionality, I think that either could be the source. So, how might I get my Dahua cameras to show their stream on my AppleTV? Thanks, r

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    Clearly the EmpireTech NVR 5-EI Series 16 Channels (NVR16CH-AI) is not the NVR5216-XI since the specs don’t match. So since Andy is not available, why international model is the EmpireTech NVR16CH-AI? EmpireTech NVR 5-EI Series 16 Channels None POE 1U 2HDD Smart AI Network Video Recorder,Face...

    The only reason why I might repeat myself about missing model numbers is when the respondent did not understand what I wrote the first time and it had to be repeated.... I did reach out to Andy and I've not received a response..... so, point well taken.... rest assured it's under control.. :) R

    Still have trouble finding a given international number or series on Andy's web site.... he often does not use model numbers! "NVR16CH-16P-2AI" is not useful. I cannot see what series it is..... there must be a better way. Why can't we have a cross reference chart? So I need a model number...

    What part of the NVR would incur the bottleneck? Is there something in particular to look at on the specifications that indicate this higher capacity on the 5 series? Thanks, R

    One problem, Andy does not list model numbers on his web site.... So, can you recommend a specific model or two? I would like to know the international and AndyNumbers as well. I wish we could have just one model number and one place to lookup... This always seems like a Columbo...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    So, what Dahua NVR for this smart AI cam (IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3)? I see the cam has SMD 3.0 but the 8-Channel AI NVR that Andy sells (NV41AI-8P-4KH) only supports SMD+. I've been told that these new cameras with the AI smarts need the NVR to play along so I assume that this NVR would not be optimal on...

    Yes, all of your points make a lot of sense and I appreciate your input on this.... BTW: I never intended to flash the NA cams with international firmware.... that would be asking for trouble. :) Thanks again! R

    Yes, I was asking what specific variant of the 5442 model since the Empire and specs here on the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 are incomplete. I just wanted to see a full spec sheet and needed the full model number to ensure that I was looking at the correct document. Yes, the closest North American variant...
