Hello everyone, I have a Dahua villa doorbell with two LCD monitors. I also have Dahua OEM wired cameras and Dahua OEM NVR 4108 on the same network. I understand that cameras will be on a different 'subnet'. How do I get the correct IP address so that I can use the LCD monitor also to display...

HI guys, Newb here. I have a Dahua (OEM) 4208 NVR and 4 POE 2mp starlight cams. Which of the above codecs should I use? I get about 3 weeks of recording in my 8tb drive. Thanks heaps!

Hi everyone, I have one last POE port left on the front of my house. I am concerned that my Dahua 2mp starlight cameras (two already installed on front and side) are too discreet. I need a camera that is a little showy and one that has a blinking light that can be seen clearly at all times...

I need a showy number for deterrance for a narrow corridor on the side of my house. Ideally I may need two because there is an obstruction. This is mainly for deterrance perhaps with a blinking light all night. There are sensor lights on that side of the house but I don't want anyone to even...

Hi everyone, I am new and my system will have 6 2mp cameras recording 24/7 to a Dahua NVR. What size hard drive is suggested? I am leaning on WD Purple 3tb due to best value vs price.

Hi everyone, I am very new here. It seems like you need visible cameras for deterring theives and hidden cameras to potentially ID them incase they decide to vandalise the visible cameras. I am on my way to installing the 2mp Starlights as the visible factor. I didn't read Cliff notes before...
