Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2

When you guys setup emails for IVS is it coming from the camera itself or the NVR? I can only get it to send from the camera even though the NVR will send other email alerts just fine.

I use push notifications w/the mobile apps, alot better than email.

The price difference at B&H between the 8-channel and 16-channel is astounding

 

[Arjun]

I thought this has POE ports, why are some saying it does not?

 

[nayr]

the -16P indicates it has 16 PoE ports.. there are models w/no PoE and 8 PoE and 16 PoE

 

[Arjun]

Are you using all 16 ports on your NVR? I'm in need of only 5 cameras, and wanted a 8-channel NVR. However, I've been recommended to skip the 8-channel POE version of this model and go 16-channel entirely as the price difference is little.

 

[nayr]

im using 0 ports on this NVR, but I have 10 channels populated via external PoE

Would the apps and push notifications still work if you were using the PoE of the NVR?

 

[nayr]

yes

 

[Brian Martin]

No it isn't. I currently have mine installed on a shelf in my cabinet. If I am not mistaken I do believe the NVR5416 which is 1.5RU can be rack mounted.

I have the 5416 and yes it is rack mountable.

Are you using the iDMSS app ?

 

[nayr]

I do not, I'm android; wife is ios.. and she has zero interest in viewing my cameras from her device.

Have you come across anything that sounds or is better than the iDMSS app for apple ? Our work computers are on lockdown so I cannot even get to my home server by any means.

During the day I use my iphone to access everything remotely and would like to keep my options open if there is a better app to access the NVR. I keep a watchful eye on the property, dog and kids.

 

[nayr]

iDMSS is the only thing thats gona receive push notifications and allow you to review recordings on iOS

@CaliGirl uses it and had issues with it crashing, but I think she made some codec changes on the NVR and that fixed the issue.. think she was overloading the app with too high of a bitrate on the substream IIRC

This will work with any Dahua PoE camera & ptz cameras right?

 

[nayr]

right

 

[TheSuperServer]

right

The way that you have your system hooked up not using any of the PoE ports how many cameras can you connect to the system that way? As many as you want?

 

[nayr]

its a 16ch NVR; I can connect up to 16 cameras max.. dont matter how they are wired/connected up.

For this model, still only 16 cameras

 

[Arjun]

Interesting, that explains why Andy was recommending me the 16-channel over the 8-channel, haha
