Questions & Answers

Why is the manufacturer's website no longer active? Is this a common problem? A manual is what I'm looking for. Please accept my sincere gratitude?

Hello, br>When you need it, we provide all of the user manuals as well as firmware updates. Please email us at "[email protected]" if you have any questions. For a user's manual, type "com" into your browser's address bar. Thank you very much.

For this nvr, what kind of IP cameras and brands are recommended?

Dahua OEM vs. DHTek

Is the Dahua ivs capable of connecting to a smart home? (Alexa, Google Home, Apple Homekit, X10, Home Assistant, and so on)?

No, it does not yet support smart home connectivity.

I bought the one you recommended for usb wifi, but it isn't for usb. Which usb wifi adapter works after spending over a hundred dollars trying to find one that does?

Hello, can you explain what USB Wifi means? What exactly do you mean when you say it's not USB compatible? Please accept our apologies; we're perplexed. br>The one we recommended before is for converting wired signals to wifi signals via USB; you can double-check the information when you buy their product (it's not ours, but some of our customers have used it).

At long last, one that is good
5/5

For me, this is the fifth personal unit. I used to install professional systems across North America, so I'm familiar with what high-end systems can accomplish. I was looking for a low-cost unit that could handle a couple of cameras well. First, it turns on and guides you through the setup process. They do not include a printed manual, but they do provide a link to a full 37 page Quick start guide and several other pieces of software, such as a free program to process your videos on a computer. They do not include a printed manual, but they do provide a link to a full 37 page Quick start guide and several other pieces of software, such as a free program to process your videos on a computer, but I'm a Yank, so it was a treat for a tech There are 394 pages in the digital operation manual. Here we're talking about a high-tech item that's out of the ordinary. I haven't read it yet, but it appears to be fairly comprehensive and well-written. Anything produced with this level of effort will have outstanding features. It includes a mouse as well as a remote control. Basic functions are available on the remote, but not enough to program the unit's advanced features. For the most basic features, security includes pattern recognition. br>I haven't used tech support, so I can't give it a rating. PTZ is still not working for me. Of the dozens of protocols this emulates, I'll have to remember which one my camera uses. br>I would strongly recommend this unit to anyone who has purchased a unit for less than $100 and has come to the conclusion that you get what you pay for.

HOW TO USE BOTH A WIFI AND AN ETHNIC PORT AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE CORRECT USB-C Adapter WIFI ADAPTER is a device that allows you to connect to the internet wirelessly After much frustration attempting to determine which USB WIFI Adapter to purchase after HDView (seller) had no idea, I was advised to purchase a VONET device, which plugs into the RJ45 Ethernet port and converts a WIRED to WIRELESS connection
4/5

THE MOST RECENT RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION REGARDING WHICH USB-C CABLE Wifi- "Sorry, we were confused what is USB Wifi Adapter," they said, adding that the adapter would work. When this product boots up, it uses the Linux operating system and installs a VERY specific set of WiFi drivers. To cut a long story short, I booted up my computer using a USB MEMORY STICK plugged into the front USB port. The DVR will create a TEXT file for debugging on the memory stick as a result of this action. So the DVR is loading WIFI Drivers for a Realtek RTL8811AU chipset. (If you leave it in, it will record EVERYTHING the DVR does up until the point you remove it, including it attempting to CALL HOME via Internet. ) As a result, ANY USB-connected device is acceptable. The USB port can be used for WIFI with an adapter with this chipset. I wanted to use BOTH the Ethernet port that connects to my ROUTER and has 4 wireless cameras connected to it, and the router sends those 4 streams to the DVR via Ethernet cable at 100MPS, but any more streams than that causes the DVR to crash, so I wanted to use the DVR's built-in WIFI capability to add 4 more cameras. I now have eight wireless cameras connected, four via Ethernet and four via USB WIFI adapter. Because the DVR has two MAC addresses, one for Ethernet and one for WIFI, the TRICK IS 4 and 4 must be on separate network segments. IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM, and I was able to stream 8 5MP wireless mixed/generic cams at 5 MP and 4 1080P cams via the BNC ports. I would never have figured out which USB WIFI ADAPATER worked if it hadn't been for the DVR writing a debug text file to the memory stick. WiFi Nation 802. 11 was the model I received. Wireless dongle with 2dBi dipole SMA antenna, 11ac AC600 Fast USB WiFi Adapter, chipset: Dual Band Realtek RTL8811AU, Realtek RTL8811AU, Realtek RTL8811AU, Realtek R Windows, MacOS, and Linux are all supported at 4GHz and 5GHz, respectively. I ordered a few that claimed to be RTL881AU but turned out to be BU or CU, so be cautious. This one, however, does have the AU chipset.

Excellent quality
5/5

I'm very pleased with the product's quality; I added a PTZ IP camera to the eight HDCVI cameras I already had, and they all functioned flawlessly on the XVR.

A massive feature set and a big boys system at an entry level price
5/5

As a former professional installer, I've never seen such a comprehensive feature set on such a low-cost device. It is fully compatible with both modern and older cameras. The AI search features are at the top of their game. The facial recognition functions are nearly flawless. Thumbs up for the POS integration, which is sophisticated and effective, as well as the clear and comprehensive downloadable manual.

Great product, great dvr, easy setup, and great features; I had one before, but it only had four inputs; the reason I bought this one was to expand to eight inputs
