Dahua NVR unboxing and setup - step by step -2019

[@revo2maxx]

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.

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

[@sumobo7108]

what do you mean by "bomb" when use hdmi? use the term that consumer understand please

[@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. 🤨

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]

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 !

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.

rushing to install the HD without stating a certain series; Orange WD drives or just any pc HD ? years ago with my DVR; I had to have an orange series only. ???

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.

Very informative... I followed the steps...when trying to add camera in registration, they don't appear automatically but when I try to add manually giving the IP of switch they appear and all show up as active but when I try to do a live preview from web version, it opens a new page which timesout after some time. 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

Great vid and a bit of a long shot question but I've been struggling for 3 weeks now.

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 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
