1-Yes they are.
2-Use this to determine cam placement: IPVM Camera Calculator V3 keep PPF>100
3-The NVR mentioned above will do nicely for you. The NVR can provide the poe for you or you can get a NON-POE version of the NVR then use a POE switch. This allows you more flexibility in placement of the NVR. As you would run all cams cables to the POE switch, then only one cable from switch to the NVR. If you think you want an 8channel NVR, buy the 16 for future proofing very little cost difference.
4-More light never hurts. It depends on your exact situation.
There is NO need to purchase a multiport poe injector, a poe switch is about the same cost and doesn't care if its connected to the internet or not.
The "color night vision " works only with a well illuminate area, I also found that misleading. ..Can ya link the lorex setup ya had from costco?
I was about to get one since i found out I can put Dahua with them, but if those 4k nightowls are crap at night then forget it I will build a complete dahua with the 2ks here.
thanx
When you plug the camera into the Dahua NVR, the camera will take the password from the NVR (If it has newer firmware). At least that is what happened to me with a 2nd batch of cameras. Hard reset each camera and plug them in one at a time. Make sure to setup your NVR 1st before plugging the cameras in.Hello guys!
Please see below, can you help me? tl;dr; "Ip-cam wrong username/password... and account is locked"

Thank you and hope someone can help me...
In the meanwhile I already sent an email to Andy but since it is holiday in China I don't know when he will be able to answer.

There is also a post around here about the cameras now needing to be "initialized". Maybe that is your issue as well.
Thank you for the reply nymphaeles.@frank_l
You can hard-reset the camera to revert everything to the default, including its admin password. I haven't had a need to reset a cam yet, but there is a thread on this forum with pictures that show you how to get to that reset switch inside the camera's body.
Dahua camera reset proceedure.
If your NVR doesn't behave as expected, you can factory reset it as well.

Good luck
That’s unfortunate. If you had a back up of the settings it wouldn’t be a problem to reset it.Thank you for the reply nymphaeles.
Already tried that and it didn't fix the problem.
I got a reply from Andy and it seems that the only way to do it is indeed by pressing the button inside the camera.
I wish I could avoid that...

Yep seen their site but wondering if he as in Andy gave any discount to members here hence asking how much did people pay if purchased from there.
