esdv-nvrplus-16 I purchased the above nvr from Nelly's. I know it is a rebranded Dahua, just not sure which model of Dahua it is. I tried to ask Steve from Nelly's, and he said that he thinks it is a 3116, however the specs. on that unit don't line up with what Nelly's has on my nvr. There were a couple of files generated to my usb drive after I plugged it in and repowered up the unit *for adding camera, etc.*, and being the curious person I am, I opened these .txt files and here is a cut and paste telling me that this unit is a 42xx Dahua: _[0m_[37;40m18:14:31|trace boardtype : NVR42XX and... _[m************************************************* ******** | PRODUCT INFORMATION | libsysbase version: 4063 - Jul 11 2014 17:57:57 | 1.system information | ProductName: NVR42XX So, from the file (printf_20150927181430.txt) Do I assume that this unit is in fact a Dahua 42xx series?

They are about five miles from where I live. They are in El Monte, CA. A small front office (about 6 people) with a medium size "warehouse" (maybe 1,400 sq ft.) with a second partial "floor", where they store cameras. They are not shy about returning a "used" camera to stock and selling it as used. They have one guy who usually "checks them out" before returning them to stock. I have been in there alot when I had my analog system and bought both new and used cameras from there. Two of the "new" cameras that I bought I had to return because of glitches (one kept throwing up a "rainbow" pattern both in day and night about once every two minutes....intensely frustrating." They have ALL asian employees. Now that I am using IP cameras, I only deal with HIK, Dahua and Dahua. I don't know how there IP stuff is, but it is probably the same. For the most part, I think that their reviews (Amazon) are sub-par, and yes, they don't really have that much "expertise" when it comes to support. Those are just my experiences with them. I can tell you that I plan to stay away for anything IP based as I don't really have a "warm and fuzzy" feeling dealing with them.
