Hi. Westhill sorry that was not directed at you .......it was the other member with his first post to remove discussion of the forum. Back to your problem ..... It can't be any of the above as other member has stated You have video you have power and you have IR . Where are your cameras mounted are they getting shade .....this can also make IR come in. Do you know make of cameras or can you post a pic

Maybe Cables or PSU unit or Cameras leds burn out - Please message me for better feedback Do you know how forums work ???

Hi. Can you post a pic of your port forward page. There looks to be two ways in which you can connect your recorder.

Hi. Software for your mobile devices or for PC ........for PC it will auto install onto your PC once you get past your active X problem What make is your dvr

Hi. These are your local settings you don’t need to hide anything . There no good to anyone. Your http you need to change that from 80 to something like 5550 And you will need to port forward that on your router for remote You never portforward 80. Then type 192.168.x.x:5550 into your browser...... make shure you have administrator rights and it will load active x for you

Hi can you post a picture of your network screen on the dvr.

Why do you tftp into it. Plug direct into it ..... Not through local network .... Connect direct with a cable Put IP into explore....... And menu screen pops up..... Go to configuration then screen settings ...... It can not be more simple . 10 mins out of your life .......your way ..... You have been doing for a week and still not got anywhere Dahua put settings configuration this way for a reason .... To keep it simple. Infact download the software from dahua onto a pen drive ..... Go to as above but go update software page.

Hi. It might be better if you carefully take the rj45 connectors apart on one of your other cameras...... you will get it right first time then

Hi. Sounds like not enough power when it gets to night mode What size is your power supply and how far is the camera from the power

Hi. You can’t use firmware to upgrade from analog to HD ..... hardware is also needed. DVRs are cheap now so look for a 5 in 1 dvr to run all formats of camera.

Cvi is analog HD not IP Cvi will fill your HD tv screen were analog will not unless you go for a analog 960h camera

Hi analog is not lag free However cvi is none lag real time. And no way are you going to get a better image with analog For what your budget is why not just buy a cvi dvr ..... better image than you will get with old analog plus 4mp you have scop to zoom Going back to analog will be your bad purchase

So you want to give away your 2mp cvi .... buy a analog with a $100 budget That makes no sense at all ..... buying a cheap dvr without hard drive will work out cheaper The dvr is only being used so you cam view the hd image on your monitor which also will be much better than any analog image

Hi . First don’t pay anymore than $20 for an analog camera Why do you not want to record at your front door. I would use the cvi camera you have and just look for a cheap cvi recorder

Hi. As well as makes .... need your budget .... is it for home or business Are you looking for IP system or analog HD

Wow $600 for a 4 way dvr ..... and again they are not 30fps it says upto. 960h 720p will be 30 1080 and over won’t be. Cvi will do 25fps but anything from 15 to 25 is good you won’t see any difference Are you looking at home use or business

I can see your port on your picture ..... Have you done this before ?

I know your screen is uncalibrated ...... You are still not answering the simple question You came on the forum for help Why can you not go in like you should with the units IP ??

as i told u before there's no way to get into via pc or telnet thank you for your help Why is there no way ???...... And I have said of telnet. Why can you not get into the setup menu

Why not keep it simple. Nothing for you to program Go into unit via pc and pull up settings menu go configuration go screens and reset them

Hi move that cam to BNC 2 on dvr and try

thank u tom but there's no way to get into my vth1520, there's no port 80 and no 21 open , the only way is to use the rs232 and tftp? thank you. How have you configure your unit ?? Use your PC or laptop and connect direct with network cable

Don't download this idiots files not safe

Hi. The Swann is only a AHD system 1 format Buy from Swann if that's the system you want ...... Same price as on Amazon ..... But you will at least get backup
