Hello brother , you have the best content I've found on KZbin.Keep up the good work. Have these NVR been updated for 2023? Can there be larger hard drives installed? If I were to install a 30-40 camera how much hard drive space would I need to store 2 weeks surveillance? Thanks guys and keep the support for this channel going strong 💪

Thanks for your video Ecologicaltime. Helped me with resetting up my cameras to nvr. I have trouble connecting my wifi router to nvr. When i go to p2p, device status shows offline. Not too sure how to make sure my router is connected to Internet, i have the same setup as you did. Can you please help

[@mtandazondlovu3563]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@almedogjurgji]

Very good video, anyway i would have liked you to explain more about those ip cameras connected to the nvr. Following the video i saw them having an ip completely in a different range from the one of your network where your nvr is connected. I wanna know if those ip-s (10. ......) of the cameras are predetermined or jt is you that have to determine them? Are those cameras with different ip ranges compared to the network reachable inside your network even if they are connected to a switch in your lan and not only directly to your nvr? Are those cameras directly accessible on a browser using their ip, eventhough it is different from the one of the network where they are connected to? Would like for you to clear my doubts on these questions, thank you

[@VATAN55UK]

Thnx

[@URBANERTSLINGS]

Perfect!

[@MGibler1]

Good job !

[@Escovaaa]

Great information, thx

[@mikeschoettler8851]

thank you

[@home-x07x08]

i've XVR, which supports 8 analog and 8 network cams, adding IP cam disables SMD and Smart AI for analog cams, any workaround or any firmware upgrade

[@DynamicDEV_]

Excuse me sir. I have one question for you. How do I do but nvr is power down and up again it not remember IP address of IP camera connected on another switch and it also assigns difference IP address to those IP camera causing some camera image stuck and some off. Please give consult me thank you.

[@Phavouriteinstallations]

Also how do I calculate the amount of HDD size to use in my nvr?

[@jonpok2151]

Is possible to configure Ip cameras which has only wifi no LAN cable to mount at the back?

[@ee6707]

Great video! Question: if you have a 16 Channel NVR but you want to add more cameras, let's say now you want to have 22 cameras connected to the same 16 channel NVR, can you still add them using a poem switch or how do you do it? Please, let me know. Thanks.

[@hectornobanda2858]

Hi ecologicaltime I have used your step by step. I am able to view on my phone when I am on a same network- But I need to view on my phone when I am offsite. Please help.

[@ESTroll]

Can my nvr can use mobile phone hotspot?

[@m.karthikzero3769]

Thanks for informing ,from India. One question bro , 4 channel nvr .camera 51nos used with poe switch. Any plm ? (Why used 32 ,64 port used)any tips bro

[@Jag9990tube]

How are you able to see the 4th camera that is not directly connected to the nvr when it has a10. Ip address if your man LAN subnet is a 192 network. Shouldn’t you be only able to see cameras on the main network it they are 192.x?

[@anozienicolas7654]

Thanks for the video. Please I want to know if I can connect two 16 Poe switches to 8 channels NVR to view 32 IP cameras?

[@carlopesce2886]

can you explain how to add on homeassistant

[@Carew783]

Very good video , I have a problem, my cameras have been used before and I cannot edit them ,I think because I don’t know what their passwords were, is their a way to discover them ,thanks for your time in making these videos

[@onyekaanyaora2556]

You can reset your camera by holding down the reset button,and then plug in your 12 volt power jack and still holding down the reset button wait for 20 secs you will hear a beep ,your camera is reset to default settings

[@torinwalker]

If you had a choice between Dahua and Dahua OEM, could you tell us which you would choose and why?

[@4Shreks]

I want to hook up a keyboard (wired) to my NVR..the keyboard lights up but I can't use it so I have to use the mouse to enter passwords or numbers. Is there a way to get the keyboard working? .. NVM needed to update my NVR and now it works!

[@TuITamo]

Wait, if I have NVR for 4 cameras , and switch for 4 cameras, and if I add one more PoE switch, I should be able to add more cameras to my NVR even if the NVR is produced for 4 cameras ?

[@revo2maxx]

So I thought I would mention something.. I have been trying for the last month or since I asked you about resetting your 4116E NVR.. My Email when I send from my NVR's domain wouldn't do anything. My Reset switch didn't work. and I removed the Battery (Don't do it it won't help at all Only changes time and date to 1-1-2000. So. If I sent form a different email I would get a reply that they would be sending to Registered email however nothing. It has been at least 3 weeks However I was able to get my Reset code I had to use DMSS even though my system is not Dahua it is an OEM Dahua and using DMSS it sent me the code to my NVR's Email address and I was able to Reset the Password. IF you all don't have your Email Setup in your NVR or your Q&A just make sure the Q&A are something you won't get wrong lol..

[@ecologicaltime]

Hi Revo2Maxx. Finally you got that sorted! Thanks for that useful tip. Now i have an old unit that could not reset and now i can reset it.

[@raviparekh4255]

Hey One question, Can I add wifi camera with IP address in NVR? By the great video

[@vlogrm8403]

Hi. I had installed nvr setup with 12 ip cam. The cams on single cable but 5 mulitple switchs. 1st two switchs are gigabit but other are simple switchs. That cams blink. Some on & some off. Off cams no view nor record

[@andyneal3317]

i have taken over a Dahua system but the ex installer set his own passwords for cameras & light beam units. i have reset cams as per other videos also found ? reset on lightbeam but the nvr is still asking for passwords its not Dahua / admin or anything else can you help

[@PotatoArca]

Good Day Sir, just askin if do I still need an extra switch port to connect the cameras or i can just direct plug them to the POE at the back panel? Thanks for answering

[@RajSingh-uj9lm]

Hi. Thanks for the video. What would happen if the IP address of your router changed? Would you have to change it on all connected NVRs and ip cameras to access live video?

[@basi76]

Can you connect several ip cameras that have been previously connected to a D-Link Switch on to a new different brand one? will they get new ip addresses automatically? great video by the way!

[@aniketpatel4765]

I have 4 IMOU ranger 2 cameras and I try to connect the camera to NVR so please give me advice. which NVR model connects to ranger 2?

[@itmember5721]

Hey ecologicaltime, great video and very informative. Just wanted to pick your brain a little with a few quick questions concerning the dahua NVR5416-4KS2 nvr family. When adding another hard drive to this type of nvr to expand storage space can the added hard drive or drives be of a larger capacity than the first drive as long as it’s not over the recommended requirement for the nvr, or must it be the same capacity and speed? And if multiple capacity HDs can be used what would the max capacity of any additional drives be, and would a possible firmware update help in increasing the HD capacity for the nvr? As you may be aware of the NVR5416-4KS2 can handle up to four HDs. Thanks for letting me pick your brain. Subscribed.

[@ecologicaltime]

thanks for watching. I have not used more than one HD in that model but my experience with NVRs is that you can mix and match hard drive sizes. However, if the max size per single drive is 10TB each then each drive must not exceed10TBs.

[@itmember5721]

@@ecologicaltime Just added the second hard drive (10tb ) and working well so far.

[@SdBoy]

I have some Annke cameras (IP... NEW) but Ive tried a INITIALIZED one and a uninitialized but they dont show up... any thoughts ? (and my DVR is a 4216).. thanks :)

[@joeb.7020]

I have sets of Ranger 2 and bullet 2C-D which are not POE cameras. How can I connect to this POE NVR?

[@flylodged]

how do I get a supply of dahua product in nigeria as am operating in nigeria and I want to be using just dahua product

[@Aleczeratul]

Can you get notifications on the phone app if you don't have internet but are connected to the same network as the NVR?
