Hello all... Might anyone know if the dahua HFW4300S IP camera is compatible with the GeoVision NVR? We are using the latest GV IP Device Utility revision. When doing a search for IP cameras, the Device Utility sees the Dahua camera, listing the model number and IP address, but shows it is as unconnected. When double-clicking the line with the Dahua camera, a window posp up stating 'The function is not supported'. When we click on a Geo IP camera, a window pops up with camera-related information. I am at a loss as to how to get the Dahua to register with the Geo. Your help is greatly appreciated, and thank you. Ken

After losing connectivity to the camera, I rebooted server. And wouldn't you know it? I was able to now successfully download the plugin, and the camera works. Thanks for the replies, folks.

Thanks for the reply. That's the problem - I can't download the plugin. It is asking me to download FROM the camera. If I try to save or download the file, I get an error message.

Hello, and thanks in advance for any replies to this post. We just purchased the referenced camera, but am having a difficult time with its configuration. The camera did not come with a firmware CD, and the link provided to download the firmware is in Chinese. After some digging, I found its IP address, and can web to its GUI. The first thing that pops up is a request to download and install the plugin. When I select that link, another window pops up asking to open/save the web plugin from its IP address. After many hours of web searching, and getting no help from Dahua support, I am hoping for resolution through this site. Thanks very much.
