    Thanks all, My question was prompted by the following Dahua website, "Use_USB_Wifi_Adapter" https://dahuawiki.com/FAQ/Use_USB_Wifi_Adapter From what has been said, probably best to stick to the current setup

    Dahua NVR and Wifi Option

    The IP cameras all have ethernet cable connections direct to the NVR. I was wondering about changing the connection of the NVR to the home network which is currently also ethernet to a Wifi option.

    Dahua NVR and Wifi Option

    Currently have a Dahua NVR and cameras. The NVR has Ethernet ports so the cameras are on a subnet. I have setup OpenVPN and on my router have blocked all outgoing ports except 2 for the time/clock and IVS tripwire. The NVR is connected to my home network as it is on Ethernet. Unfortunately I...

    DMSS and DMSSHD on Ipad on iphone notifications

    Currently have a Dahua NVR and all the cameras connect to it directly via ethernet. I have Tripwire setup and have iPhone to receive push notifications. I have an Orbi router and by default all incoming connections are blocked. I have added a rule to block all outgoing connections from the NVR...

    Dahua NTP setting

    Thanks all. I think I may have worked out the problem. I had blocked the NVR IP (except port 8888). However, I only did it for TCP. Just reading this great forum, came across the statement that "NTP uses UDP on port 123". Although I am blocking the NVR outgoing connections, it is only for TCP...

    Dahua NTP setting

    Thanks again. Yes this is for a home setting. I will check if the router is opening port 123 by default regardless of the settings.

    Dahua NTP setting

    I am using the pool.ntp.org timeserver. I have an Asus router using VPN but also have outgoing connections blocked for the NVR IP. I think the router is blocking all outgoing connections from the NVR correctly. When I have tested blocking the entire IP address of the NVR, tripwire notifications...

    Dahua NTP setting

    Currently I have a Dahua 4108 NVR connected to Dahua cameras. On the NVR and cameras, NTP is both unticked. When looking at the stored video, it time appears to correlate with the NVR as the cameras are slightly out of sync. I have noticed the NVR time slowly goes out of sync with the real time...

    Dahua DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2

    I currently have a Dahua DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2 with IPC HDW-4631C-A camera. I understand that the cameras are the Chinese model based in the name. However, I couldn't find out if the NVR is Chinese or International. The main reason for this if consideration of upgrading the firmware for the...

    Anyone using an Asus router, blocking nvr/BI internet access and receiving apple push notifications? If so, how are you doing this?

    I just used the blacklist. If you use the "Block Internet Access", it blocks everything so you dont get the push notifications. Correct. The connections tab in the system logs.

    Anyone using an Asus router, blocking nvr/BI internet access and receiving apple push notifications? If so, how are you doing this?

    I think I have worked it out but not sure if it is correct. As you found out, the Asus router only lets you do a Blacklist or Whitelist but not both. What I did was set up a blacklist with the IP of the NVR under source IP, left the port range blank, left the destination IP blank, but then for...

    Anyone using an Asus router, blocking nvr/BI internet access and receiving apple push notifications? If so, how are you doing this?

    Thanks looney2ns. I understand the OpenVPN is to prevent "outsiders" from accessing your home network. So once it is setup, I need to "VPN" into my home network and then use iDMSS plus app. However, I am not sure how that will help the NVR send messages/notifications out if it detects movement...

    Anyone using an Asus router, blocking nvr/BI internet access and receiving apple push notifications? If so, how are you doing this?

    Hi fought, Just wondering whether you managed to work this out. Saw your other thread detailing what you tried "If you properly lock down you nvr/computer - how do you get notifications?"

    Hello, I have a Dahua NVR and was wondering about the snapshot function settings. Currently there is continuous recording, motion recording and 2 cameras have a tripwire set up. The only snapshots I receive are when there is a trigger for the tripwire and I get emailed a snapshot related to...

    Dahua NVR4108 Recording Settings

    Just an update. Have reduced the frame rate to 15 with H265 and the amount of recording days seems to be fixed at 13 days. I have check the HDD and it is set to never delete (unless HDD gets full and the HDD shows 0 free space). I was expecting some increase in recording days with those changes...

    Dahua NVR4108 Recording Settings

    Thanks all for your help. I have followed the above post #950 and logged into all my cameras directly. They are all showing H265 so the NVR settings have been correctly transferred to the cameras. Not sure why still only have 13 days recording which is the same as when I was using H264. I...

    Dahua NVR4108 Recording Settings

    Thanks. How do I check that the changes have been made in camera. I can access the NVR either directly via a monitor and mouse connected to the NVR. I also can use SmartPSS. When I go into the Settings and Camera Encode, it is H265 for both main stream and sub stream. I don't know how to access...

    Dahua NVR4108 Recording Settings

    I have a NVR 4108 HS-P-4KS with 4TB WD Purple HDD and 5 cameras attached. There are set for continuous recording as well as motion sensor and trip-line activity. When it was set up, the format was H.264 at a frame rate of 20. The HDD is now full but appears to correctly over-write old data and I...
