#QNAP QVR CLIENT AND WINDOWS 10 COMPATIBILITY TRIAL#

For some it took some trial and error but they have been rock solid. I have had no problem getting them to work using the same trick as above, basically picking a similar camera from the lineup and have been doing this for years.

#QNAP QVR CLIENT AND WINDOWS 10 COMPATIBILITY PRO#

I run both surveillance station and QVR pro on my NAS and have literally 0 out of 8 cams being officially supported and have been this way since day 1. But to state it again, I don't think ANY manufacturer will provide a 100% plug and play experience beyond their own product line. Now if we are talking about buying a Qnap NVR only device, which I know nothing about, I agree that it needs to be as plug and play as possible if it costs significantly more than an NVR from somebody else. Having said this, nobody in their right mind would buy a Qnap NAS for only surveillance duties due to the cost.

#QNAP QVR CLIENT AND WINDOWS 10 COMPATIBILITY FULL#

Unless you are running equipment from a single manufacturer, the chances of full plug and play gets extremely low.ĮDIT: I believe that we are on the same page since I agree that the cost has to be weighed. You could very well run into the need for workarounds using one manufacturers NVR and another manufacturers cameras. Simply pointing out that if one already has the Qnap, there are solutions to the camera compatibility issues. However, a Qnap isn't exactly what most people who don't hang out here would consider a plug and play device to begin with. I certainly don't disagree with your statement. But the QVR Pro (which costs more than a regular NVR) has to be normal - plug and play.īut if for you are well to pay and then look for a way to make it work, then all is OK. Perhaps I just got lottery-winning lucky but I seriously doubt it.Īll workarounds on the 'Surveillance Station' are fine and do the normal job. Notice the multiple mismatches between firmware, the true camera model shown in the Dahua version tab and the model QVR camera settings shows it is. I have added a few pictures to show that this is not only possible but that it does work. Any changes you make in QVR Pro does not require the need to do this. Word of warning, if you go into the camera browser page and make additional changes, you will have to set it back up as ONVIF again in the camera settings menu in QVR Pro and refollow the steps. The camera will stay online and you can set it up however the firmware will allow. Here is the trick- after getting a thumbnail pic as an ONVIF cam, change to a different model cam and then hit the APPLY button only- DO NOT hit the test button again or the camera will drop the connection and won't work. I suppose that I could have used any camera make/model since no Amcrest has IVS that I am aware of but I didn't actually try any other brands/models. ONVIF wasn't able to deal with IVS so after the cams were connected and showing a pic, I then changed to a different Amcrest camera since mine isn't listed.

#QNAP QVR CLIENT AND WINDOWS 10 COMPATIBILITY INSTALL#

After flashing the Amcrest with Dahua firmware, I had to first install the cameras in QVR Pro as ONVIF ProfileS and then hit test, at which point the green check mark came up and the cams connected. Here is how I got my unsupported cameras online and functioning, complete with IVS Intrusion detection. There are 2 Dahua models with similar specs that also don't show up in the Qnap list so I thought I would be stuck with only motion detection, which I hate due to frequent false alarms. To make things even more interesting, both cams have been flashed with Dahua firmware to support IVS functions which have been removed from the neutered Amcrest firmware. The cameras are both 5mp Amcrest IP5M-T1179E cameras that aren't on the list. I currently have 2 'unsupported' cameras running on QVR Pro right now. I realize that this is a zombie thread from 2.5 months ago but I thought I would let some of you know that all hope is not lost with cameras that have different firmware versions and/or aren't on the compatibility list. If you got new firmware, you are out of support and your QNAP is worth nothing.īut this is just my experience, I hope yours is better. So I don't even ask about her.Īnd the truth is that this list of camera support, though long, but truthfully supported is probably only about 5 percent and it's not for long time. Second my camera IPC-HDW5241H-AS-PV don't exist in support list. And if you want to use with QVR Pro, please overwrite your camera firmware with the old firmware mentioned in the support list.

#QNAP QVR CLIENT AND WINDOWS 10 COMPATIBILITY UPGRADE#

When asked if they were preparing to upgrade to existing current firmware, the answer was that such actions are not foreseen in the cameras support plans. not that much of a difference, only two and a half years. So there are Build Date: while my camera has.

I was contacted about the Dahua SD59430U-HNI and the answer was that QNAP only supports cameras that exist in support lists and only with firmware marked there. then raise a support ticket with QNAP and they will address it.
