Hi All,
I need some help with the above DVR. I've just upgraded from an older Dahua DVR to this one and am having a problem with controlling the unit remotely. Let me describe the setup.
The unit is housed in a central rack connected to an HDMI 8x8 matrix. This allows distribution of the CCTV throughout the property to any room. The previous unit had IR which meant I could switch camera views from any room. The new unit does not and I have not been able to work out a way to control the unit except via mouse which is useless for my setup. The unit has RS232 but I can't find any protocols for using it and it would also be difficult to integrate into my current control system. Is there a way to control the unit with IP? It's really disappointing that Dahua have removed IR control but I'm hoping there's a way round that.
