    DMSS mobile app thumbnail images - supported?

    Any ideas come to mind as to why I cannot get notifications on DMSS for animals. Tripwire and intrusion for "Human" and Motor Vehicle" work just fine. My 5 series NVR detects animals just fine (have several 5442-S3 cams with latest firmware for animals) and I can search for animals on the NVR...

    Review: EmpireTech IPC-T58IR-ZE-S3 / Dahua 5842T-ZE-S3 - 8MP / 4K Turret Camera

    Again thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. I think this is starting to make sense to me. I’ll screw around with it for a little while and see what I like best. I appreciate the help and suggestions.

    Review: EmpireTech IPC-T58IR-ZE-S3 / Dahua 5842T-ZE-S3 - 8MP / 4K Turret Camera

    Just so I understand this correctly, you can enable or disable AcuPick per individual camera and not just on for ALL cams connected to NVR or all off? Also what’s “mini IVS”. Lol. I’m sure I’ll recognize what you mean once you explain it a little bit. I have to say, these cameras with the...

    Well, shit I figured you would know one or two of these but not all three. LOL. Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation of all of these items. That will help me a lot.

    Review: EmpireTech IPC-T58IR-ZE-S3 / Dahua 5842T-ZE-S3 - 8MP / 4K Turret Camera

    You seem to have a very good working knowledge of Metadata and AcuPick so I figured I would ask you. I bought a NVR8CH-8P-2AI which I believe is 5 series??? It has AcuPick. I also have several 5442-S3 cams and Z4-S3's. With that said, with the settings I have enabled (see screenshots) I have 3...

    DMSS App: Motion Events don’t always display the Thumbnail

    Thanks for the update. I can see all the thumbnails and videos on the NVR correctly as you do. I think the app is just glitchy sometimes. I cannot find a rhyme or reason of why sometimes the thumbnails do not show up for any of my cameras on the app. I’ll take a look at that app that you...

    DMSS App: Motion Events don’t always display the Thumbnail

    I did have that enabled and tried it with it not enabled and it made no difference. While Im thinking about it, I turned that snapshot off on one of my other cams and the snapshots still got captured and pushed to the phone. Is that because I have the snapshot schedule also set in the NVR?

    DMSS App: Motion Events don’t always display the Thumbnail

    I was poking around the NVR GUI and found something interesting. Channel 4 below is my camera that is NOT producing a proper thumbnail. I am not exactly sure to check to ensure that an "image" is being recorded. Still poking around... Wonder if you check this setting what you see...

    Which NVR for Remote Rental Home?

    Me again @ Just trying to add my two cents with my experience (albeit my first and only NVR w Dahua cams). NVR8CH-8P-2AI with several S3 gen cameras. I make all changes on the camera GUI. I am using "AI" mode vs "AcuPick" on both the NVR and camera interface as the two have to be the same...

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    Take this advice from Witt. I am using a Z4 at about 80 foot right now for license plates but I wish I had a Z 12. I did not intend for my Z4 to read plates but I had an extra one laying around so that’s what I’m using it for. The extra focal length for that Z 12 would really Zoom in on the...

    DMSS App: Motion Events don’t always display the Thumbnail

    Yea Ive pretty much just dealt with it but it is indeed frustrating. From what they long time users on here say, Dahua is knows for their hardware and not necessary the software side in apps and such. That may be part of it. @bigredfish do you have issues with the app described above?
