Only camera 1 from NVR16CH-16P-2AI / NVR5216-16P-EI

When adding EmpireTech NVR16CH-16P-2AI, which is a Dahua NVR5216-16P-EI, only camera 1 shows up.

Or did I do something wrong?

Hello, i also needed time to understand.
After checking the code, i found out that this integration is supposed to show 1 camera per entry.

So what you need is to add a new entry with the same informations as the previous one, except for the channel.

channel 0 = channel 1 in the nvr

So if you have 4 camera you need to add 4 entry.
And for exemple: Camera 4 will be channel 3.

There will be 3 stream per camera : Main, sub and sub2.
The difference is just the quality of the image/video.

You did everything well, just need to repeat it as many camera you have :)

CrLLz has already answered your question about the integration of the various streams and channels. Nevertheless, one more note and information about using a Dahua NVR with the Dahua integration: At least with my Dahua NVR (DHI-NVR2108-I), the Dahua integration "spamms" its protocol every second with log-ons and log-offs as soon as it is integrated into HA via it. This is also one of the reasons why I no longer use the Dahua integration for the NVR, but have integrated it via HA Onvif integration instead. This means that the NVR protocol is no longer "spammed".

This means that if you have integrated your NVR into HA via the Dahua integration, you should then take a look at the NVR protocol. ;-)
