check with your seller!

ping it! start->run->cmd ping What is the time(ms) of reply?

@PeteCress No, you cannot access direct TCP Port through WebBrowser - you need PSS for that!

Newest DAHUA IP Cameras are Onvif, so they should be supported by your NVR. Just my advice...

Model and Brands of DVRs?

try to lower the framerate to see what happens also try with no HDD in it

That would be a little tricky to revoke... don't know, though!

For DAHUA you cand use the 3216 standalone NVR or you can make a recording task using PSS for Windows/Linux or Mac (but i recommend a dedicated, non-shared PC)

enable recording for the extra stream ( i don't remember exactly where the option is, but this will do;)

Be carefull about the quality/resolution of the lens. On a PAL/NTSC/D1 resolution, quality is less important, but on a MP system it is. To get my point, on a digital camera or on a video recorder, the optics are always the ones that make a difference, right? So this happens to CCTV too.

Windows, Linux and MAC PSS have the same functionality (they're the Windows version, running in an emulator, but very optimized)

if it restarts, you can't telnet into it to do anything. ask you supplier for help (or PM me if you can't reach your supplier)

Why not a much much simpler solution? A mediaplayer with Android and gDMSS installed?

Decent for what application? Also, why don't you try to but from a local reseller, rather eBay? We're talking about security here, not eBooks.

have you asked your seller? what does he say?

are regional/language settings different in Windows/IE?

Delete WEBREC folder in Program Files for Active X Delete PSS folder in Program Files for PSS problems. Anyway, doesn't your local DAHUA sales channel offer you any support?

You can view DAHUA's DVRs/NVRs and IPCs using PSS for MacOS!

gave you that link to read about DAHUA's policy and no, BAHAMAS Security has no public firmware

go to users settings, then "default" (this is the user that automatically logins when you power up the dvr), go to permission and uncheck monitor_whateverchannel you want

You may find here and there firmwares, but be advised: http://www.dahuasecurity.com/news/statement-on-purchasing-dahua-technology-products--66.html

Seems DAHUA. But you know you will not get any support nor firmware updates from DAHUA, right?

modify per user settings

you cannot reset admin password, only 888888

There is a separate section in web client to setup DNS on DAHUA. You can find it in the left list, almost near bottom.
