Purpose is to use the network video ports for any PoE devices
⭐Turn your NVR into a PoE switch.
⭐Power up your Access ports, Intercom Units and Cameras.
Rules
1. You can\t exceed the port speed : PoE ports = 10 to 100 MBPS
2. Management of larger switches / Internet limit = 10 x 1 GBPS
3. You can't exceed bandwidth of the NVR
Great video! I was trying to connect two cameras to my Dahua 4 Series NVR via a splitter. I was only getting one camera and banging my head against the wall.
Found this video, out the NVR into bridge mode, re-added all the cameras and everything is working great!

Thanks Andrew for your great response.
great info thanks, I have been using DAhua for many years and they just keep getting better & better. cheers from New Zealand
Great to hear! Thanks Jason!
You can actually remotely access the cameras on the back of the NVR if you forward the port it uses when you click on the "E" icon
Thanks, nicely explained with the pros and cons
Thank you for your great response!
Awesome overview with great key details
Thanks for watching!
Great Video the one thing left out is that if you work with the customers IT team they can create a vlan that has dhcp then all of your cameras and recorder will be on that segregated network.
Thanks Rich!
I have NVR 32 channel how to connect with 26 port switch both of them dahua brand ??
Admittedly having extra functionality for the same cost is always great, but a switch is handy in more remote installs. I have around 12 dahua cameras, but run a blue iris server on a PC. I am thinking of sliming my cameras down to 8 and buying a NVR5208 as it would be dedicated. However, I would prefer to remain with my switch as I have it quite remote from where I want the NVR to be located - ie. the cameras go through the switch and are powered by the switch, then a single lan cable to the NVR. I assume we are still saying this will work fine.
It will work just fine.
Great news!! :-)
👍 Great to hear from you! Thank you
You're connecting the Poe switch to the Poe port of the NVR ... Your user manual says to not connect switches to Poe ports... So can we connect the Poe switches to the Poe ports or not?
Can i just add some IP cameras to the POE ports on the NVR using DHCP and auto assigned IPs, then a 4 port POE switch to a POE port on the NVR but with those cameras assigned an IP manually? I did try it on an Amcrest NVR but that kept having issues with the cameras disconnecting. I want to replace that with Dahua but split on the POE one or the one without POE. Built in POE is one less piece of hardware.
Just picked up a 5216 4ks2e from adi, it doesnt have this feature, i need this feature on the site i am installing as i need to add a poe switch to one of the switch ports on the nvr.
build date of the machine is 2021.
Please update the firmware this is a build 2022 feature
Thank you for a great demo! Is it possible to connect two PoE cameras to a single NVR port, without enabling bridge mode? We want to buy a 25W PoE outdoor extender (1 PoE in with two PoE outputs). Our goal is to use only 1 cable from the NVR to feed two 7W 2K cameras (located at a long distance). Will the Dahua NVR's DHCP server detect and assign automatically two different IP addresses for each camera?
Technically you can manually set the cameras into a 10.1.1.X range and connect multiple into a single PoE port. However you must use a switch! The idea to use one cable and two cameras won’t work HOWEVER if you use a ePoE NVR and 5 series ePoE cameras which only need two cores of a CAT cable that could work. Take a look at our channel and look for the ePoE video 😀
@@DahuaUKIreland Thanks, yes the PoE outdoor extender is also a 1x2 switch (Epcom TT-2003EX-POE). Does Dahua make a product like this? We're looking for a simple non-manageable outdoor PoE injector, with at least two PoE outputs. Is fast ethernet 100 Mb/s bandwidth enough for two or maybe four 2k cameras on a single NVR port?
@@vero5723Take a look at this from one of our approved distributors: ua-cam.com/video/7cWieqD_T-c/v-deo.html
Where can I find the firmware for my NVR 4208-8P-4KS2, I want to update my NVR so I can enable bridge mode.
I can't find my recorder on Dahua-wiki. Do you have a link to the webpage?
Hi. Use the Dahua Security website to get the latest firmware. Then it will be in "Main Menu""Network""Switch"" Bridge Mode :-)
Hi there can i use some of the ports for poe bridge mode? Example i have 16 poe ports. I have connected 12 cameras. Can i use only the 4 remaining poe port on bridge mode?

Impressive videos, However i have observed something awful with the Dahua WizSense XVRs. When viewing camera footage on live view you get quality images, But during playback the video quality drops drastically as if it wasn't properly compressed. I am using default mode on all setup. I really want to know what the problem could be, Cos i am considering leaving dahua completely and going for other brands.
Speak with support.uk@dahuatech.com the team there can fix it. Possible setting issue maybe since we have no other fault tickets on such a issue.
@@DahuaUKIreland Ok. Thanks
Still no positive reply after sending an email. But i am beginning to suspect that the low quality of the play back video is as a result of the bitrate. I am using 2mp camera and the default bitrate is 512kbps, But recently changed it to 2048kbps and i noticed an improvement in the video quality. What bitrate would you recommend for a 2mp dahua camera?
@@i-elotechsystems33 As much as your hardware (generally NVR) allows. Are you sure you're not confusing Main Stream versus Sub Stream? Main Stream limit should be high - generally thousands of kbps - as long as your hardware can handle it, but you might want to limit the Sub Stream bitrate for remote viewing over e.g. a mobile phone. Set the Main Stream bitrate to the highest setting possible if you want and see how it goes. If you enable bitrate display (alongside the usual date/time/camera_name OSD) then you should be able to see what the camera actually demands. If you see it demanding 5000 kbps and your recorder has no problems recording and playing-back that, then leave the camera bitrate unlimited. If you did encounter problems, maybe if you had a lot of HD cameras attached beyond the scope of the hardware, then you could then set limits on each camera to reduce the total demand. And beyond that, when playing back on whatever device you're using, check whether it's displaying either the Main Stream or Sub Stream.
