I had a VPN set up for my cameras since 2018. However, recently OpenVPN has recently complained that the HMAC Authentication wasn't secure enough. I tried changing it from SHA1 to SHA256, but same error, after exporting the new .opvn file. Next, I tried configuring port forwarding. I did it...

I have a Dahua NVR5416-16P-4KS2 NVR and Dahua 5231R-ZE cameras. Is it possible to install or configure two-way audio, so that I can talk, and have it outputted through one of the camera's microphones? I'm thinking of having audio sent back to the front door camera. Ideally I'd launch the...

I had the Sunsetter solar shade installed in 2015. I had the gazebo, on the right of the pic, installed a few days ago. Did I completely block the solar panel? Or is there there less light, but still sufficient light, to allow it to power? https://i.imgur.com/Jj6UkBa.jpg Here's a few from...

I have a NVR5416-16P-4KS2 NVR. Is IVS used for the live feed, or can it also be used for recordings? For example, I saw something about setting up face detection (and even an option for a specific gender). If I enable it, will it return results for only a live feed (for example, if there are...

What does this do? Does setting smart codec to "open" save space? Is there a reduction in image quality? How does smart codec work?

Did anyone buy a bad low light camera (any brand), and have a screen shot or video? I just had the HDW5231R-ZE installed. I had read and seen videos of it. I just want to compare with something bad, in low light, so I can see the difference. Thanks.

@EMPIRETECANDY I'm having some initial setup problems. 1) HDMI 1 is my downstairs TV. HDMI 2 is my upstairs TV. I am using a HDMI extender from HDMI 2 to my upstairs TV. I am also using a USB extender connected to one of the USB ports on the NVR. All I ever see on my upstairs TV is...

Is it possible to set a recording rule where if it sees my face, then don't record? What about if it sees my face and it's between a certain time range, then don't record?

I just bought a new router a few weeks ago, the ASUS AC2900, to set up a VPN. Currently I have 3 ports in use (Ooma Telo; PC; Tivo DVR). The NVR for the cameras will use the 4th port. What if I needed another hardwired port? What device should I get to add to the network, that would also be...

@EMPIRETECANDY I want a longer power cord so it can reach my interrupted power supply. The power cord has 3 female prongs at the end that it plugs into the NVR, and 2 prongs where it plugs into the wall. What's a replacement power cord that's at least 6 feet long that I can get? Can someone...

What's the difference between getting a camera vs. an IP camera? How can I get help with installation? Is there a service that will install for me? Can someone do a site evaluation first? I know Best Buy's Geek Squad does it. It's $100 for a 90 minute site evaluation. Are there any other...
