Hi @akur
IMOU = Dahua
So if you have a IMOU IP PoE cameras which has an available rtsp feed .. perhaps even a WIFI camera that has a rtsp feed .. should work. iirc some IMOU cameras are cloud only .. so depends on the model
You should be able to test the camera if you have the camera using Dahua OEM SmartPSS
Thanks!

For now, on NEWEST firmware of DAHUA NVR, IMOU cameras doesn't work with DAHUA NVR
Maybe anybody knews how to change that?

I bought a DHI-NVR1104HS-S3/H
I immediately updated its firmware. So I don't know how he would have reacted to the IMOU camera at first time, before update.
After that, I connected the IMOU camera to the system and went into SEARCH.
There the system received my IMOU camera. But instead of the PRIVATE protocol, the system in the SEARCH window offered me only the ONVIF protocol.
I waited. Nothing changed. I added this camera by double clicking in the SEARCH list. The camera was added (the passwords on the DVR and the camera were the same)
After that, I added the camera in the "manual add" mode. At the same time, I specified the PRIVATE protocol and port 37777.
I registered the login and password as on the NVR.
After clicking "OK" the camera appeared in the camera line.
But she has a RED dot glowing.
I hovered my mouse over the red dot and received a message:
"Failed to login. Please access the device with ONVIF."
As an experiment, I tried the wrong password. Received a message:
"Wrong username or password"
There are no other protocols in this NVR except PRIVATE and ONVIF.
If you know how to solve this, please let me know.
(Motion detection currently works very poorly.)

After updating my Dahua NVR4104-4KS2/L i run the same issue. The new firmware called DH_NVR4x-4KS2L_MultiLang_V4.003.0000000.0.R.240321
Even using ONVIF i failed to get video from the IMOU camera.
Fortunately, i have old firmware backup (it was good idea to have one!) so i have performed rollback succesfully...
Any ideas what is going on?

After further investigation it seems (in my opinion) that Dahua has banned (on new firmware) IMOU cameras on his NVRs since releasing their own cameras with similar capabilities (Hero series, for instance).
Stay with old firmware. All functions going well

I know I'm late but for anyone with the same question now, almost all Imou cameras work on Dahua Technology, meaning you can add them the same way as you've added other IP Cam's to your NVR.
All IMOU cameras that worked on Dahua NVR before the updating with new firmware stopped working. After rolling back to the old firmware they work again as if nothing had happened.
This has been tested on several Dahua NVR.

When we say new firmware I suppose that all current dahua NVRs should incorporate this. I intented to buy NVR5216-16P-E1 because I have nine 5mp IMOU cameras but as I see I shouldn't spend such money just to find out that it is useless..

I threw it away
