I had a 5216 4ks2 and now I have a NVR 5232-16p-EI. I know Andy's naming is a little different but that's close enough lol. My old one didnt have poe. I just used a poe switch but my switch only has a few ports left so this works out good. I also updated the firmware since I have to learn new features anyway. Figured I'd do it all at once lol. I upgraded to DH_NVR5XXX-EI_MultiLang_V5.000.0000000.0.R.250417 and its a completely different NVR now. It will take me a while to get used to where stuff is and the menus but overall it works well.
 
yes, 5xxx-EI received new NextGen GUI...

most changes is camera groups, totally revamped AI / SEARCH / PLAY menus and ability to live view 8 cams at once without browser plugins...

Quick question. Is there anyway to rename the cameras? Like my PTZ is currently D8 but on the new NVR its different. Same as all the other channels. I have them all wrote down with D1-16 and now none of them are the same on the new NVR. Thanks in advance
 
Do you want to rename the camera names or do you want to renumber them?
Rename you can do on the camera itself, say you want to call your PTZ.... PTZ Driveway. Or it can be under the NVR camera settings option.
Renumber you can drag the tiles on the main screen to any way you want... Such as you want upper left camera to be your driveway camera instead of backyard.

Or ??

Not sure on the new NVRs but the older ones you can do it on the camera tab
