Thanks for the feedback, glad you've got it resolved.

It looks great, but crazy expensive. Who can justify paying £800+ on a doorbell. Many people don't even spend that on their entire CCTV system. Thanks for sharing though

It looks like something, in the bottom left corner of the camera, is reflecting the IR light back into the camera. This could be what's making the image so dark except in that corner? Try repositioning the camera so it has a clear view, and see if that resolves the issue?

This is the POE powered switch...

Just sharing in case it helps others. How I broke my IPC-HDW5231R-Z I decided I wanted more cameras after running a single cable to the side of my home, so I followed the cliff notes idea of using a POE powered switch. The POE switch was housed in an "off the shelf" waterproof enclosure...

Thanks I've discovered that if I save the video to my android phone (lg g6) and then upload it to YouTube from the phone, I get sound. Maybe the app saves it as MP4 when downloading to phones. Eitherway I hope this might help others. Incase I want to share from the NVR, in the future, can...

Hi, I want to post a recording to my YouTube account. When I down the file from my dahua NVR and play on PC it works with sound. When I download the video to my phone, it works with sound. However when I upload the .dav file to YouTube it doesn't have sound. What's the best way to get sound...

Sadly no. I'm hoping Nest will release a Poe version of the Hello, as I have Nest thermostat and Nest Hubs. In the meantime I'm using a wireless dumb doorbell. It reaches the home office which is detached from the house, so I don't miss deliveries when in the office anymore. It's a solution...

Thanks for sharing. Very informative

Hi all, I want a Poe doorbell for greater reliability, and so I don't have to hire an electrician to change the doorbell transformer. I want it to connect to my NVR and record either 24/7, or just when a person comes to the door. I want the bell to connect to my phone and inform me when it is...

The variation will be different between apps and phones. Without the hardware and software being perfectly tuned to each other it's only a guesstimate. It was accurate for me to see if the new fan made an improvement. Admittedly it doesn't give an accurate estimate to the amount it has...

I used Sound Meter on Android. Here is the link... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.tools.soundmeter.decibel.noisedetector The top app in the picture...

Here is my noise comparison video. Im sure its a far from perfect comparison, but it atleast gives some idea of the noise... As these are more commercial units, they are probably designed to be installed in a business server/data cabinet somewhere rather than a front room, so noise probably...

Hi Steve, Sorry to hear the issue affects you too, but at least I know it's not just me. I've added the new fan and speed reducer cable, cost me a total of £15 and about 2 hours of my time, (I had a few snags and had to find tools) a more competent DIYer could do it in under an hour...

My phone app might not be accurate, but I took this screenshot. I will video the test tomorrow...

Thanks all for your replies. It's good to know it is normal for the fan to continue after the NVR has "Shut Down" I don't believe a PSU would need to run the fan for any longer than a few seconds after powering anything down. If there's no power the device would cool down naturally soon...

That makes sense, thanks. After shutting down I couldn't find anyway to turn it back on, without physically turning it off and back on again at the switch. How are you suppose to turn it back or remotely, or on site even?

I have a possibly related question: I shut the NVR off via software, and even with the cameras and NVR all off, the fan still continues to spin and at the same noise level. Is it normal for the fan to keep spinning after shutting the NVR down? The only way to stop the fan is to physically...

Fitting the fan to the outside of the PSU is an interesting idea, I don't think it will look right thight. I'll see how it is after I fit the replacement fan.

The PSU fan only has a small gap to squeeze in. I would have like to use a Noctua quiet fan, but they are 25mm thick and the PSU can only take around 18mm so I'm stuck with 15mm thick fans. I guess the thicker fan is why Noctua are so quiet Here is the gap I have to work with... I've...

Thank you for that. I thought the smart settings would only do the case fan, the case fan is very quiet anyway (well I can't hear it over the PSU fan) I'll try with reducing the voltage via a power reducer and then maybe changing the fan. I don't see why it needs such a powerful fan. Do you...

Another members shared this picture of the Smart Fan option... ...but I only see these options. "Status" is missing... My NVR is updated to march this year, so it shouldn't need an update. Says no update available anyway. Could it be because it's an unbranded NVR and the unbranded has...

I think I read that too somewhere. I'm pretty sure it's not the vent that is causing the problem. Putting my hand near the vent I can feel a huge amount of air passing through. I really don't think it needs to spin so fast. I'm currently favoring reducing the power to the fan. Although I'll...

Hi did you ever replace your fan? I'm in a similar situation. It's the power supply fan I need to replace, this one..

I also have an issue with noise, but on a NVR5432-4KS2 this is not POE but does have an internal, noisy power suplly fan. I thought we might be better able to problem solve the issue together... Noisy Dahua NVR5432-4KS2 Sound proofing ideas, Fan upgrade, Reduce fan speed

Hi all, I have just received an unbranded Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 courtesy of Andy. It's a well made, solid looking unit and a great spec. Unfortunately it is also very loud, infact it is much loader than my HTPC, TV and Humax box all combined. This is currently unacceptable to both me and my wife...

That's good to know. Thank you

I believed the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE used <6w per camera (thought I read that somewhere.) I've just bought a POE switch to run 4 cameras from my garage. It claims the maximum output to be 30w which I thought was fine as 4x<6=<24w. However the spec sheet says <8.5w per camera meaning 4x8.5=<34w...

Thanks Jeremy8 I don't use tablets so I'll stick with the free plus version. Thank you for your helpful reply
