    Noisy NVR

    New NVR4208 with almost new 2TB HDD. Rather noisy. So it has 2 little fans but OK am comparing to old generic fanless NVR (RIP) although HDD is same. Old one was a lot more stealth. What can I do to reduce noise? I recall rubber mounting fans in a PC many years ago and it made a useful...

    DS-2CD2032F ,on new NVR

    Old DS-2CD2032F on new Dahua NVR. My old generic NVR died and because 5 cameras are Dahua I went with a NVR4208. First thing I discover is Dahua NVR does not detect the Hik camera. Then I see Dahua have some sort of sub network for the Ipcams where they have them on 10.1.1.1 so I can't easily...

    Configuration loss

    Two IP cameras can suffer configuration settings loss when power is disconnected or at auto-reboot. It's happened about 4- 5 times since May. Auto-reboot is Tuesday 3:00am. NVR reboots at 1:00 same day. Behaviour isn't always identical. Sometimes IP address is changed, sometimes not. I've done...

I've waited till I have a reasonable grip of the systems' capability before posting so I've done quite a bit of study and poking around. Query/problem. If I...

    P2P Xmeye

    I've got a Chinese Besder NVR and IPcamera system up and running on XMeye for a homeowner. I've been asked to do the best I can do with what is there. The system runs quite well and was easier to setup than I was anticipating. Even XMeye wasn't too bad. Once I'd figured out their way of doing...

    Monitor choice, what's good

    I've been given the task of getting a cheap Chinese NVR set up and running. It proved to be nowhere near as bad as I was anticipating. The Besder nvr worked right out of the box along with 2 Besder cams. A 3rd Hik camera eventually yielded and that works as well. Xmeye worked once I figured out...

    HDD size minimum

    Hi, I've been given the task of getting a Besder nvr8908t-q up and running. Also there is a used but supposedly good 500GB HDD with it. My initial thought is the HDD is very small but owner wants it going till a bigger one is purchased. Probably a silly question but will the system recognize...

    Hi all, I've been dropped in the deep end as I've been given the task of installing a Chinese NVR/camera setup. I'm learning fast. Systems have come a long way since I installed my CCTV 7-8 years ago. Thanks.
