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.

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.

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.
