    Dahua NVR and DMSS help needed

    Hey can I please pop into this thread? I’ve for some time had seamless experiences with Open VPN and remote access to my NVR via DMSS app. This has all stopped working. I’ve not messed with anything. It’s been a few weeks since I needed to use it, so don’t know how long it’s been stuffed...

    Can I add wireless cameras to a Dahua NVR ethernet-based setup?

    Cheers. Yeah I don't want to use wireless really, however just due to one or two applications, I can't manage wired.....

    Can I add wireless cameras to a Dahua NVR ethernet-based setup?

    Thanks Fish. How would I know if this were the case with other brands of wireless? Would most doorbells work as a wireless unit "reporting to" the Dahua system and recorded by the NVR? We regularly have need to focus in on various goings-on out the front and to the side of our property...

    Unable to log in to one of my Dahua cameras via the Dahua NVR interface

    Can I please double check Andy? I have two of your cam's ipc-t5442tm-as models. I am not sure about what is meant by "LED light only or NONE LED Light Full color models". Is this update compatible for my cameras? Cheers! Mat

    How to remotely view cam's and use NVR from portable devices?

    Right. For some reason all the popup window settings changed when I got the VPN going. I "allowed popups" for my NVR address and now working. Go figure!? Problem is, may cam's are 192.168.50.xxx:10080...10081....10082..... I can open all except the 1st, withe abovementioned error of a warning...

    How to remotely view cam's and use NVR from portable devices?

    As is my modus-operandi, I make sure that when I get something working, I break something else!! New issue: - since I got OpenVPI up and running, I can't access cams individually. That is, if I log into the NVR (192.168.50.xxx), no worries. But if I then go to "Cameras", I get the usual list...

    Review-OEM IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 2mp AI active deterrence cam

    Hi guys. Been using this cam for some time with few issues. I keep playing around with settings and it's getting dialled in. A few things I wanted to ask: - I have been successfully using the "strobe" function + "voice deterrent"., but: a) I am yet to figure out how to record and use a...

    How to remotely view cam's and use NVR from portable devices?

    Further: - all working now. It turned out to be an issue with the WAN address issued by my interwebs provider. Now all working well, and I can see my cams via my Dahua NVR using the DMSS app. Great! I just worked my way through the link provided. Thanks guys. Now onto remote access to...

    How to remotely view cam's and use NVR from portable devices?

    Ok. Next questions that are hurting my head guys! 1. If I'm at home, and the VPN is not installed on a client (or is installed and turned off), shouldn't I be able to access my router at its "normal" address (192.168........)? 2. The VPN seems to work (I trialed a username and password on my...

    How to remotely view cam's and use NVR from portable devices?

    Tried both. Also tried a laptop directly into router via Ethernet to make sure it wasn’t switch or something else..... Addit: So went back to the guide (above) and, rather than logging into my router with 192.168.50.xxx, I used https://[name of my VPN}.asuscomm.com:8443 This got me back into...

    How to remotely view cam's and use NVR from portable devices?

    Ok. 1st issue. I initiated the Open VPN following the link above from Wittaj, which seemed to go ok. One problem now is for some reason I cannot login to my Asus router's GUI as I normally do. It usually resides at 192.168.50.1, where my home network is 192.168.50.xxx. I just get "unable to...

    How to remotely view cam's and use NVR from portable devices?

    Thanks guys. Most helpful. I'll have a go at OpenVPN. - Flint, they are screenshots of my Router's GUI. It has the three VPN configurations on offer, built into the router it seems - Toastie, as a beginner, I'm afraid I didn't follow a single word of your post! I'm also unfamiliar with...

    How to remotely view cam's and use NVR from portable devices?

    Hi again all and I hope all is well! I've left my NVR/cam's alone for a while to just see if they all work well enough, and so far so good. So next is to sort out remote access - am I correct in saying a VPN setup is the best way to do this? If so, I'm new to VPN's and would love a little...

    Help finding a wall bracket for a Dahua bullet IPC-B5442T-ASE to see around a corner

    HI all. Have a look at my dodgy drawing. I've installed a bunch of cams with no issues. This one needs to be mounted on a side wall, but "see" around the corner. I have a matching mounting baseplate PFA130-E, however it will bring the base of the cam (circular plate) off the wall by only...

    I keep getting stuck on "Rebooting, please wait" when trying to update firmware. I'm logging directly into camera (t5241h-as-pv) IP, via the blue "explorer icon" on the NVR, and go to "upgrade". Keeps getting stuck at reboot stage. Ideas? Cheers, Mat

    Sorry Andy I don't understand? I am still getting stuck on the "rebooting, please wait", with a completed orange taskbar. Nothing happens after that. Does this mean the update is finished, even though it's saying "please wait"? And thanks Panda, but my setup uses 192.168.50.....numbers. I...

    Hi guys/Andy, Just trying to update this firmware onto my IPC-t5241h-as-pv Can I please check I'm doing it correctly: I went to link I downloaded the .BIN file I logged into my cam directly (using the blue web symbol for that cam via the main NVR web interface) I put in the BIN file under "file...

    Want to start afresh. Ideal setup to watch Clips from Dahua NVR?

    Hi again all. To start, here’s my setup: NVR - Dahua DHI-NVR5216-16p-4ks2e (2x4TB drives) Cams - I have a range of recent Dahua cam’s: ipc-t5241h-as-pv, 2x ipc-t5442tm-as, etc......(6 in total) The house (including cams) is wired with CAT6. All cam’s connected directly to NVR, then NVR...

    Where did my Dahua NVR GUI access go?

    Ah yeah. It’s all coming back. Again a little help! - I take it the “ANR” means a cam will record to an installed SD if the network is down? - what’s “M&A”? - assume I ignore all the “POS” (point of sale) stuff? - I have a house alarm but keeping it separate for now. It’s physically...

    Where did my Dahua NVR GUI access go?

    I’ve left the cam’s as they were, and all the various settings/rules have remained. I have made sure that p2p is disabled on each of them. Out of interest, when I go to a cam, and look at “TCP/IP” under network, I notice the default gateway (which I have always assumes means the address of my...

    Where did my Dahua NVR GUI access go?

    No worries. I’ll do that and see what happens! Bloody annoying as someone asked me if I’d seen anyone steal a bag off her bike the other day, and I don’t seem to be able to access the footage. It should have been recording, as the cam’s functions such as light coming on if tripped after hours...

    Where did my Dahua NVR GUI access go?

    Ok update time. I ended up factory resetting the NVR. I suspect the primary issue - not being able to access the NVR at all (even though it seemed to be running) - was that my old router assigned IP’s between 192.168.1.1 and .253, whereas my NEW router uses 192.168.50.1.... So when I reset the...
