Hello, I’ve got an old iPad on which I run dmss and have this in a frame next to the front door and we can see and record whoever walks up our path. However the IPad keeps switching off when it needs to be on! Ask this question and everyone will say you just have to go to the auto lock settings...

Hello I have a DAHUA NVR 5216-16P-4KS2 which I bought from Andy back in 2018. It has become unreliable during the last few months with multiple problems, crashes, and having to wait forever to select items and failures to record being just a few! So I want to purchase a new up to date unit. I...

Hello everybody! I’m hoping this question will in turn help out lots of other people but need to find the answers first and this is proving harder to find than I thought. What I want to know is, is there a list somewhere of all the best practice settings on an iPad that you need to use in order...

Hello everybody, got a quick question to ask everyone cos somebody I’m sure has done this already… and hello moderators, please feel free to move my post to somewhere more suitable if necessary. I would like to take out my peep hole or my spy hole and replace it with a peep hole camera that...

Hello to everyone reading this, I wrote this 2 weeks ago and submitted my problem under NVR’s. However nobody has replied so I thought I would put my request for a solution here where seemingly more people might read it as cameras attract more people than maybe NVR’s do? A problem has now...

Hello and greetings to everyone reading this, haven’t written a post for absolutely ages, I guess that’s because when everything is going well, you just leave the system to do it’s job which it’s being doing brilliantly for a couple of years now, until now! A problem has now occurred with the...

Hello, I have had 3 of these SD52C225U-HNI PTZ cameras for about a year and a half now and have to say I'm very pleased with their overall performance. Previously had switched the IR lights off on the 3 cameras and also upgraded the firmware but this didn't work out so eventually managed to...

Hi can anybody point me in the right direction for the ' latest ' firmware for this camera. I know it's an old Dahua IP 2 megapixel camera, the existing firmware being 2.210.0000.0.R, build : 2013-03-13 Can't seem to get the plugin to install properly and therefore cannot view the camera...

Hi everyone, need an urgent diagnosis of my DAHUA NVR 5216-16P-4KS2 please. A couple of days ago, I noticed that none of my 11 cameras were being displayed on my tv having a long hdmi cable from one to another. Went into the log and it stated that all cameras had disconnected at the same time...

My saga continues - it's become a bit of a hobby really. Those who read my previous posts know that in December I bought a Dahua SD52C225U-HNI from Andy and to be honest Ive spent hours fiddling about with it and it's been one big positive exercise summed up by the first one pieces of advice I...

Hello everybody, does anyone know how I can have auto tracking on in the day but switched off at night. There seems to be a fair few settings that have a schedule but not auto tracking which just has an on/off toggle and the time in seconds to follow whatever it's following. Auto tracking has...

Hello everyone, I do hope this post fits in with the subject of installations, cos this part of the forum seems to be where most people read and respond to - and in a sense, I'm still trying to install it! Treated myself to a Dahua SD52C225U-HNI from Andy and now one month on, I think it's the...

Can anybody possibly help me out with this Plug-in problem, I really would appreciate it! I have a NVR5216-16P-4KS2E with various cameras and last week I obtained from Andy [THANKS ANDY] a SD52C225U-HNI after reading all the reviews on the forum. I’m not so interested in the tours etc, but am...

Hi Everyone and a special thanks to all those who have helped with information so far. Still learning using my formula of experimenting + youTube + IP Cam talk. However, there are things you just cannot seem to find so my 2 current issues are below. Ive had to turn the power off a couple of...

So I’m now up and running with my new Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E, but there’s just a few things I’m finding, or in this case, not finding. I’ve got 10 cameras connected and 4 of the dahua ones have Infrared and I want to turn this night illumination off. Before the NVR, you could switch this off...

So after struggling with Synology and their surveillance station for more than a few years, we had an incident outside our house and having all the family round, they all turned to me and said Look at your CCTV. Imagine my embarrassment when I couldn’t find the clip we needed and when i did, it...

Dear everyone. I have aqquired a Siemens IP camera CCMS 2010 IR camera but cannot set it up on the system as it cannot be seen on my network. I have read there is a Siemens network camera Discovery tool, but cannot see where to download it. Can anybody point me in the right direction and maybe...

Hello I will probably look back at this in time and think this is a stupid question. After years fiddling around with Synology surveillance station I decided to take on new route and purchase myself a Dahua NVR5216-16P-4KS2E which arrived yesterday. Now just waiting for the hard drives, but...

Hello everyone, Got myself a Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW81230E dome camera from Andy @ Empiretech (Great service I must mention!) but not wishing to fry the circuits, am having this terrible disagreement with myself on how to wire the alarm input / output. I have set up a tripwire and want to fire a 230v...
