Hello everyone,


I have a Dahua DHI-NVR5216-16P-EI and a Dahua NKB1000 network keyboard.


I also have two older Dahua NVRs, and the same NKB1000 works perfectly with them.


Here is the problem:


  • On the older NVRs, I can reorder the Live View camera tiles by drag & drop, and the NKB1000 still controls the correct PTZ camera using its channel number.
  • On the new NVR5216-16P-EI, after reordering the camera tiles (or using Channel Sort), the PTZ works perfectly with the mouse, but the NKB1000 no longer controls the expected PTZ camera.
  • It seems the keyboard still uses the original channel mapping while the Live View layout has changed.

I also tried:


  • Latest SmartPSS V2.003
  • USB and Network connection
  • ConfigTool
  • Different firmware versions
  • PTZ works perfectly with the mouse in both the NVR and SmartPSS.

Questions:


  1. Is this a known limitation or bug of the NVR5216-16P-EI?
  2. Is there a way to synchronize the NKB1000 with the current Live View layout?
  3. Does the NKB1000 always use the original logical channel numbers regardless of the displayed camera order?
  4. Has anyone successfully used an NKB1000 with the NVR5216-16P-EI for PTZ control?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you!
