    Security system design help

    The only thing turrets of the same model are good for is aesthetics. Bullets almost always have more/stronger IR and a better Depth of Field

    Help required for correct camera and NVR set up

    Easier for those who dont understand basic networking, yeah I think so. A) make sure P2P is enabled on the nvr B) add the NVR to your phone by doing an Add device and scanning the QR code on your NVR screen (at the P2P page) to your phone C) for alerts on phone (DMSS) under Device Details for...

    The 4K-X (bullet) on the other hand isnt bad at all.. better than the turret as far as focus issues. Weak 0-6 ft, but pretty good past that

    Help required for correct camera and NVR set up

    Not BAD, but yes VPN is better. But when trying to help newbies who start with 5 problems out of the gate, I like to get the core stuff figured out before heading off to networking. P2P isnt all that bad, I use it on occasion mostly because I had to figure it out myself to be able to help...

    On speed, it’s playing regular on your phone so on the NVR you can adjust playback speed on the playback page. Make sure you’re using IE or you may not see all of the controls. Edge in IE mode works almost as good

    That’s one of the problems with SMD\MD. SMD seems to apply to the whole view. It still sucks in comparison to IVS. Most of us turn it off and never look back

    When you say the video is running at reduced speed, do you mean while viewing playback of recorded video? On your phone? - Try viewing directly on the NVR playback screen. Does it run at normal speed there? Alerts on phone Is P2P enabled on the NVR? Are you signed into a Dahua account on the...

    Help with camera setup

    On newer firmware it typically still doesnt pick up anything but humans/vehicles. Many of us think it should. Cant hurt to try In theory it would pick up anything crossing the lines. Still better than MD, but most have found that it wont

    Help with camera setup

    Looks good. IVS won’t typically trip for anything other than humans/vehicles. Some of the older firmware used to but the newer stuff typically won’t.

    Help with camera setup

    You don’t need 4 duplicate Intrusion boxes. Delete 3 of them and draw a zig zag tripwire line. It should detect better.

    Help required for correct camera and NVR set up

    Set the recording schedule by channel on the NVR and make sure it shows motion or intelligent/IVS colored bars for all days. But you still need to go to the individual camera interface and set what you want to be recorded motion/SMD or IVS (preferred) So the NVR determines when and what to...
