You ever Do a Factory Reset using the Button on your NVR? The one that shows online isn't correct so just wondering if you know how to do it if you don't have access to the Email you used to setup the NVR with? (Important to setup with a good email and to use the questions and answers so a person don't get locked out of the device.. Online shows Take cover off press hold button 4-5 seconds unplug and hold 4 to 5 seconds and plug back in that don't work.

[@almedogjurgji]

Do the ip cameras get an ip as soon as you connect them to the switch or nrv or you should manually put static ip-s to them? You didn’t show how you connected and configured at first the five cameras. They also have an ip with a different network range compared to the nvr, how do they work this way? Thank youy

[@liamcollins8692]

[@ummaraffan5671]

is cctv works without internet cable from your switch. I dont want to view cctv on website. just local on the monitor.

What great videos you have. Glad I found your channel. Cannot log into my camera from a computer. I can log into most by clicking the internet explorer “e” but one in particular just hangs. Is there a way to log in from the nvr directly? My nvr is on a 10.x.x net and my router is on a 192.168.x.x net so i can’t just enter the ip of the cam into a computer. I can’t change the day to night time without accessing the cam firmware directly. Help please and thanks for these great vids

@@ecologicaltime thank u. Any idea why this happens: I select a compression of h265, and smartcodec and a desired bitrare, and click ok, the next time i go back to that camera, everything i have selected has changed? I want to keep h265, but some cams keep changing to H264b or mjpeg without me ever choosing that?

[@ecologicaltime]

they all work. With cost cutting, some drives are not designed to be continuously on like the older 5year warranty drives. Best to get the drive that is designed for surveillance but even those fail at times.

[@freshjs_23]

Very detailed and informational. What is the link to your video that shows setting up NVR to POE switch?

[@carlturner544]

Am I correct is stating that you have imported the cameras directly, as separate cameras rather than sub-channels under the NVR (which is how I did it) - which is the correct approach in your opinion? Is it possible to alter what I've done if it's not the correct/optimal approach?

[@ecologicaltime]

i only know the way i showed so cannot comment on another method.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

comforting to hear the hdmi craps out after a while. Good quality! Why not have multiple hdmi ports ! Along with dual USB for a keyboard also ? local importer to unlock= yeah right. They can' t even speak English to understand what I"m asking !

[@ecologicaltime]

if you registered your product and used an email, you can use that email to unlock your device in future and email directly to Dahua.

[@georgeholland5403]

First, thank you. I was able to initialize my NVR5216-16P-4KS2E and upgrade to current firmware. The new firmware does seem to be different than the firmware you used in your video making some of the changes after moving to the web browser harder to follow. Any plans to update this video using current firmware? Thanks again.

Hello, thank you very much for the explanation, I have a question, I have to be connected to the same internet network as the cameras from the pc to access the ip 10.0.0.250? and some of the screens are black and come out with a sign of question (?) mark in red, do you know why? greetings from Chile :)

[@reccakarl]

HI. Your default gateway on the router is 192.168.1.1 and then you changed it as shown in your video. Meaning there will be no conflict of changing default gateway and may change it anytime a customized gateway???

[@ecologicaltime]

you can use any gateway address as long as that gateway address is your router's IP address.

[@samiyemeyahni1488]

Assume I already have four IP cameras (the IP addresses of which I already know) working over WiFi at home. Would this device recognize those cameras (without any physical ethernet connection)

[@carlturner544]

Great vid and a bit of a long shot question but I've been struggling for 3 weeks now. The upshot is I cant access the cameras via Webservice as they use a 10.1.1.x IP address, whereas the IP address of my network is a 192.168.1.x (router and NVR). The switch IP (and gatway is 10.1.1.1) with subnet 255.255.255.0 I tried changing this to 192.168.1.x but then get the clash message you displayed. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here?

Hello I have a Dahua NVR with 4 imou S41fa poe cameras connected to the nvr in poe. I would also like to connect my cameras with the imou life application but it does not work.

[@mickcarson8504]

LOL. As far as I have one, actually it's a 4.0 version, it's a crappy system, full of problems that you will find out once you've set it up. Mine is a nightmare to adjust and fix. The video floats, freezes, skip frames, jumps ahead, speeds frames and suddenly images vanish and you will never recover them in certain frame spots. Incredible hard to fix these faults. Then there is no decent support, live chat, etc. It's all questions and answers (you type in, or select a question and a list of answers that suits you appear), but they are not answers that you wanted to know, just crap they think you need to know. They're not telling you why live video freeze and speed up, e.g. like passing cars. Have you seen how cars suddenly increase speed and then slow down, or still-freeze on screen then immediately zip across to appear at the other end of the screen in an instant? How do you fix that? I've had my NVR for a year now and I've become sick of it, can't have an inconsistent recordings without the bulshit zip, freeze, float, stick and vanish, etc., not to mention when events are tripped, there is nothing shown on screen that you can click on to view the recorded event in Playback. You have to have a mobile App for that, unlike Hikvision that is better because whenever there is a recorded event there are numbers on the top right corner of the screen, e.g. one recorded event you get a number 1 on screen, 2, 5, or more recorded events, you get 2, 5 or more numbers. Easier to view as many recorded events in Playback by just clicking on the numbers and a list of recorded events appear. Whereas, this rubbish Dahua hasn't even got a simplified way to get to recorded events on PC screen. 🤨

yes, just map the camera to both NVRs

But you will get the skipping in frames at any one Dvr, You have to choose different Stream for both NVR for proper recording.

A great video, thanks for taking the time. Wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a question for me regarding IP addresses. The internal address of my router is 10.1.1.1 so I'm trying to update the IP address of the NVR to 10.1.1.250 however when I click on OK I get the error "Switch and the device shall not be ...." - the subnet is 255.255.255.0. When I go to the Switch settings I notice that the IP address is 10.1.1.1, the default gateway is 10.1.1.1 and the subnet is 255.255.255.0. I'm not sure what I should be changing to get the NVR visible on the home network. thx in advance.

[@ecologicaltime]

thank you. yeah some of the Dahua NVRs do that. Just ignore it. Or change your subnet to class A. 255.0.0.0

hello.. I have a question. If I have a 5MP wireless IP Camera, and I want to connect it to the NVR which come in bundle with 2MP IP Camera, will it work?

[@ecologicaltime]

if the NVR has the bandwidth available, then it can work. Most NVR can handle higher res camera but if you put 5MP on every port then you will probably exceed the bandwidth and some cameras wont work. So you can mix your cameras, some 4MP, some 2, MP some 5MP

When trying to view by connecting to app it doesn't show the live view either. My setup is - I have a modem from which a WiFi router is connected. Ethernet cable in the nvr is connected to the wifi router lan port. I have DHCP enabled while configuring which allocated the IP address similar to what is of wifi router. Modem to router requires a PPPoE user name and password and IP as part of PPPoE is dynamic allocation..not sure where am I doing it wrong
