I used the same cable, but cut off the bad external connector. It works (for now)

SOLVED Sharing solution for others. The interface cable itself was bad. This is a weak point in the design, as I've had others do the same. To test the theory, I swapped the cable with an Amcrest (lower quality Dahua), same cable. Then I cut off the bad Ethernet socket and installed a standard...

Yes, I should have specified - I removed it from the installed location and connected directly to switch trying several different cables.

Purchased from Andy a couple of years ago and it has been working well since. Recently, I noticed it no longer appeared in the NVR. The clues: It powers up on PoE connection, or via DC adapter and IR illuminators turn on in darkness. Switch shows PoE powered, but no link light Reset attempts...

So glad you took the time to detail what has worked and what hasn't. It's baffling to me that snapshots of filtered activity are not a feature. Most would like to have an 'at a glance' view of the day's events. You're the first person to actually tackle the problem head-on... thank you! I have...

I have similar questions - have posted several times, but have unfortunately never heard of a solution. It seems like a reasonable expectation of an NVR, and the interface even shows snapshots of events - yet those snapshots are not available on mobile apps, and difficult to set up (impossible...

So, specific to the app view - no thumbnails? It appears the app was designed to include them given the use of a placeholder image. I'd be curious to know is Blue Iris includes this. Thank you.

Dahua DVR has thumbnail images of triggering event, which is useful and exactly what I would expect. However neither DMSS nor iDMSS Plus apps (iPhone) show thumbs, only a default placeholder image. Has anyone found a mobile app that can/does show the thumbnails or even managed to get to them...

Your long condescending reply underscored the point I was making. Thank you.

Thanks for clarifying!

I completely agree with your findings (or the lack thereof). PROS Dahua cameras are of good quality in build and images. Feature rich - on par with other brands. Fair pricing through 'grey market' resellers like Andy (he's very good in response / fast shipping as well) CONS Positioned solely...

NVR5216-16P-4KS2E Using DMSS HD app on iPhone and iPad. The playback interface implies that representative thumbnails can populate the events, vs. default thumbnail. I've never found a way to accomplish this. Anyone found a way to accomplish it or is it even a feature? As I see representative...

No sorry accepted, unless you designed the interface(s) - ha!

I understand IVS rules are set on the camera. However, the record settings on the camera appear to relate to LOCAL storage (SD Card). Yes? No? It's unfortunate how complicated unclear the various pieces are. I'm usually good with all things low-voltage and web based technologies, but IP camera &...

One remaining question I would have is if you put settings on the NVR side how do you undo those safely and cleanly?
