I have a HFW3200S and setup Dahua DDNS. I verified that I can connect to camera stream remotely using Dahua iDMSS app but how would I access through web browser remotely on PC?

I have a Dahua NVR5208-P. 6 out of the 8 POE ports no longer work. I connected a separate POE switch and connected my camera's to the new switch. When I go to add the cameras to my NVR, it sees them but the status is red. Is there a special way I need to set this up using an external POE switch? Please help

I've had it about 6 months.

I got it. Thanks.

Thanks. I used config tool and updated IP addresses so they now work through my external POE switch. I purchased the NVR direct from China so I am not holding my breath but they are currently communicating with me. We'll see how they will handle it but I am not sure its even worth it to ship back to China. I may just sell on Ebay and get a Synology. Any ideas how much I should discount with bad POE ports?

Thanks David but I am getting a file not found error when trying to download that link.

I am not sure. A few days ago my 3 cameras stopped working. It turns out they wouldn't work in 4 out of 8 ports. I moved them over to other ports and now two of those don't work. Normally I can hear the NVR make a humming sound when cameras are plugged in but in the non working ports I don't hear anything. I took NVR apart and there are several little green LED lights on circuit board that light up when I plug camera in the two working ports but don't like when I plug into nonworking ports. I would I check if ports are active in system? Does anyone have a download link to the IPC config tool. My router is setup for 10.0.. addresses instead of 192...Not sure if that's the problem.

Where can I download the config tool? I have the mini cd that came with camera but it won't work in my slot loading optical drive.

I clicked on link for NVR5xxx firmware but it says file not found. Am I doing something wrong. The version I have is 2.610.0000.5 Is there something newer?

Any idea on how to get the SWANN cameras working on the NVR5208??? I can't figure out the settings. The NVR does not recognize my camera?

I just received a Dahua NVR5208-P and Costco Swann HD820 cameras. How do I get the NVR to recognize the Swann cameras? What is default IP address, port number, etc? Sorry I am a newbie when it comes to home surveillance.

After having a brick thrown through one of our car windows parked on my driveway I just ordered a Dahua NVR5208-P and some Costco Swann 820 cameras. I plan on installing them under the eave of my home. I have motion flood lights on the corners of my home. Are there any generals rules to follow when using flood lights with IR cameras. Should I mount camera near flood light? Above/below/behind light? I appreciate any advice you can offer as I am a newbie!
