Hi if your camera is working fine I recommend you don’t do a firmware update as you can’t go back if fails last update was 08/2023 https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Pro-Series-EasyIP-/DS-2CD2385G1-I/?subName=DS-2CD2385G1-I

Hi. If your using your Powerline adapters straight from out of the box they still work however if using more than 1 set then it is best to give each pair its own local iP address this is easy done by looking at the login iP of your adapters (192.168.x.x) which you will find on it ….. first pair give them a new iP something like 192.168.1.70 on both and on the other set 192.168.1.71 on both and this will stop the conflict you are getting as both are using the out of box iP (both sets are the same)

Hi. Your problem is … it’s a lorex (dahua) not very good software for on screen or remote viewing mate you using the fusion software ??? are you on iP cameras or analog and were are you based

Hi. There is none for a unit of that age also most of there apps have been removed because of malware

Hi that’s a 10 year old dvr and looks like you have tried to update with firmware that’s not supported also your best option is get another dvr … your like many others is full of spyware which is fully documented and you can’t fix …. Anything from Xiongmaitech is a bad unit also under the name xmeye

Do you have any power at were you want the cameras but by using smart cameras (which are not cctv) I know tapo cameras you can’t as you need there server for them to work

Hi. You will need to give details of your ptz BUT being Wi-Fi only im guessing it’s a smart camera ….. cctv and smart cameras are too different things and should not get mixed up with each other usually app controlled cameras are proprietary and intrusive I would recommend no one uses them

Hi are you using a APP ?

Don’t need to go DDNS on local … it was only a test to see if you could connect

Ok. Delete the xmeye app then install it again THEN first go bottom left of the app and click on the screen icon. And enter details don’t use serial number instead use your local iP address 192.168.1.230. Then see if it connects problem with using serial number is it’s already been used by the last owner with all there sign in credentials

Hi. On the xmeye app did you sign up for the cloud service and did you use a qr code

Hi. you might be lucky with one of the xmeye apps which mobile platform are you using apple or android also if you have a pc on the same network can you try entering this into your browser http:// 192.168.1.230 and see if you get access to your system

Hi that is expensive your into viper Ai units for that price 4K vipers are enough for most people and will last for years that company is only 10 mile from me his site says 8 channel 4K 1tb hard drive £433 plus posting

Hi any power supply that states 12v 3amp will run your camera …. If you let me know your location I’ll post a Amazon link but you might find it better if you buy a 4way Poe switch (you don’t need to run power cable to camera then) and there just a little more for a Poe switch

Hi. That looks like the old Yale Wi-Fi camera system (not a nvr) it is a wireless dvr Yale smart wireless cctv … it’s old and your other problem is going to be with it being secondhand it will already be registered so you will need the original login settings for the app server. can you post a screen shot of two screens …. Menu screen and the network screen

Hi. I would go with the 8 channel 5mp dvr with hard drive that’s £248 tvt in uk is called the viper dvr … but be careful some people are selling the lite version which is just a basic system are you John ward the spark ?

Hi …. Motorised Len ….. yes they will work using ptz control on dvr or via app HD analog come in 4 formats cvi-tvi-ahd-cbs dahua being cvi So not a problem

Hi which part of the world are you in ???

Hi. Zoom lens ??? Do you control the zoom via recorder. Can you post a link to your cameras

Hi good budget. I would look at the TVT system. I have been installing them for 8 years now with no problems at all It does have the best app on the market that gives you full control of the system. No other dose that …. App is called SuperLive plus. But your looking at £238 for recorder but it also has the advantage of the cameras are cheaper than iP but with the same image quality example 4mp full colour at night and audio is around £32

Hi. Your analog will be HD analog cameras which is a good thing as HD analog are just as good as iP and half the price. i would look at a 5mp system …. You can go 8 mp but there is no point unless you have 8mp cameras (4K) depending on your budget anything is better than the dahua recorder is this for home / work or farm location ? I also have foxes at back of my house … been coming here for two years now and 3 months ago the fox has been bringing her two cubs

Hi what type of cameras do you have … analog or iP (coax or cat5)

Hi. Since you already have coax in place then I would go for a 4K dvr you get the same benifit as a IP system except a lot cheaper what would your budget be ? I would also see if you need every camera at 4K (8mp) also full colour cameras at night are cheaper than iP I would stay away from hikvision and dahua or you will waste your money

If they rely on p2P (point to point) from your home to a China based server then it’s not NDAA … ok let’s put it another way … you can’t use dahua in any GOVERMENT building in USA or uk because it’s none NDAA compliant WRONG YES YOU CAN IF your not connecting it to a network systems work 100% on there own with no internet involvement…… NDAA only applies when on the web (cyber security) GOVERMENT building in the uk a few years ago had dahua/ hik cameras then all of a sudden pictures were in a China news paper of something going on in a GOVERMENT building ….. that’s cyber security threat so yes NDAA is needed why on earth do GOVERMENT want cameras in there building that china has full control over we’re is the security in that now you talk about reolink (I would never sell to any customer) how many customers data did they misuse 8months ago 1000s of innocent peoples……. Only 3 weeks ago another data breach was listed Security flaws were also found in Reolink's camera, which adopted the Hypertext Transfer Protocol for data transmission via the user's WiFi it was only a few years ago you could install alarm systems camera system to protect your buiness or home NOW the systems people buy have introduced another problem PERSONAL DATA TO A 3rd party of all data in and out of your home which is theft …… alarms cctv used to protect now you buy security to steel data NDAA is a simple compliance apps for viewing should stay in the same country as the recorder cloud / storage so as it is protected by the likes of gdpr if a system is in Virginia then viewing and storage should only be stored in America not the other side of the world

You are right except business selling and installing DO have to comply it has nothing to do with China product infact most cameras and recorders are from China and are fully NDAA compliant and a lot better and cheaper than dahua or hik did you know dahua and hikvision was the same company years ago till taken over by the Chinese government but at the end of the day WHY IS Dahua and hik refusing to comply with NDAA why are dahua closing places all over the world also Lorex. people don’t know lorex opened in 2004 by dahua thinking it was a Canadian company now just this month lorex has come under the spotlight and will have a negative impact on home users when the lorex cloud is shut down and they can’t log onto there systems anymore NDAA is not about Chinese products it’s about cyber security if you look back on the forum about 10 years ago a dahua system had in its log in one day 1.400 logins from China iP address….. who wants a cctv SECURITY system that allows strangers from another country watching you and family and guests to your home or business the main reason for NDAA is to stop information being sent to China GOVERMENT server. Images/video/audio All the point is …. Why buy expensive dahua products that fall well below what todays systems can do for less money and be protected
