Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2

[usaf_pride]

I have a 16P (POE) and I have a difficult spot to pull multiple cables to (I have one cable there now). Does anyone know if I can run one cable from one of the POE ports to a powered switch and connect 4 cameras?

Just run the network cable from the main network port to the powered switch, not one of the POE ports.

If I do that, then I won't have network access to the NVR as that is the port that is connected to the VLAN.

Basically I have a cable run to 1 camera that will be next to impossible to get any more cables pulled there. I need to add 1-2 more cameras. I can install a small powered switch in that location, so I want to come off the NVR POE port to the new powered switch and then connect 2-3 cameras off of that.

From one of @nayr post, it appears he is running it this way, but I'm not sure. I miss @nayr!!

It sounds like the NVR and the rest of your network are on 2 different sub-nets, correct? If so, you will need to set up everything on the same subnet. Nvr, cameras, need to be on the same subnet your routerthat issues DHCP addresses. If you have a VLAN topology, it gets a little more complicated. More info about your current network, really, is needed. Just guessing on what you currently have.

This is what he used: https://www.amazon.com/OdiySurveil-IEEE802-3at-IEEE802-3af-power-out-Extender/dp/B0198H6EUK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1524413013&sr=8-9&keywords=poe+powered+switch
It's powered by poe+ and it ouputs poe. If you can put it in a weather proof box, if used outdoors, this could work.

I have the 5416 and yes it is rack mountable.

How much was your 5416? I’m a big fan of rack mountable.

I already had a HiPoE capable system and an isolated VLAN, since I have many non camera PoE devices such as 4 wireless access points and a half dozen VoIP phones...

@nayr what ip phones and system do you have?

Thanks,

Rob

Digital is digital, PAL vs NTSC doesn't really matter any more.

I disagree.... if your just grabbing 10fps then it may not matter but if you want 30fps or if you want PAL footage on an NTSC Final Cut Pro timeline... this would be a suboptimal situation.

This is completely false. Most blue iris machines are drawing 25-50w....there are many power consumption threads...most setups can be run on a 100-300 dollar machine....There is virtually no heat from a modern pc...there is absolutely nothing to "manage" in a windows box...just let it run...
Once you use a blue iris pc you will see what a joke the standalone NVR is..

When running BI and you just want a matrix of cams on your tv indefinitely.... what’s the physical connection to the tv for that a/v source? Hdmi?

Does anyone know how to disable "connection is timed out" popup message when viewing live feed via web browser? I have auto log out timer set to 0. The video feed is not interrupted, and I been moving that box aside of view and it seems to disappear after a while. But then I have to re-login to use the NVR. Any way we can complain to Dahua to fix that?
