    notification dmss

    Are your cameras attached to a NVR? If so, remember to "subscribe" to notifications in the DMSS app via /Device Details/Multi-channel Alarm Subscritpion/Notifications/(select the alarm you want)/(select the camera channel). If you don't use a NVR then sorry, I can't help since my only experience...

    Dahua NVR32CH-8XI Can't seem to get Push notifications sent to app

    I've never had a Dahua account but my Android DMSS (vers 1.99.100) push notifications have worked for the past 2 years on my NVR-4216. BUT, a couple of days ago I stopped receiving alarm notifications on my 'phone. Nothing else had changed that I am aware of. The settings on my NVR seem to be...

    Nvr push notifications to DMSS app

    Yes, there is but it has been nearly three years since I did it for me and my wife so can't remember how right now. If I can recall I'll post here. In the meantime I can only recommend internet searches (and Youtube) because that is probably how I determined how to do it. Sorry.

    Dahua NVR not displaying 1 of 10 cameras on monitor

    Thanks guys/gals?, you were pretty much correct, although there wasn't any "Codec" field. One of the mainstream fields had changed (not by me or anyone else) so I changed it back to match the other cameras and all is well. Thanks for the help.

    Dahua NVR not displaying 1 of 10 cameras on monitor

    My 4216P NVR has, for the past few years, displayed all 10 cameras (stream S1) on the monitor. But recently one of the camera windows is blank unless I switch the stream to Main. I've fiddled with lots of settings but I'm at a loss to the reason why. I'm sure it's something sinmple. Any...

    How to get a video backup copy when remote connected to Dahua NVR?

    I can access my NVR web GUI remotely via OpenVPN on my TP Link modem at home and OpenVPN on my laptop (and MS Edge) when I'm away from home. I can view live footage and playback videos but I cannot see how to get a copy of a video clip. So for example, If I'm away from home, use my laptop to...

    NVR and cameras for medium sized motorhome

    Thanks TonyR. I didn't know a "mobile" range existed with Dahua. I'll look into it.

    NVR and cameras for medium sized motorhome

    I have Dahau gear for home but would like to install a 12V system on my motorhome. I figure 8 cameras to cover the outside perimeter and NVR to record and provide intruder alerts. A couple of experiences when remote camping have highlighted the need so I'm keen for suggestions. A 12V system...

    DMSS app trying to blackmail me !

    I solved the immediate problem by uninstalling the current version of DMSS and re installing an earlier version. This is what I wrote in another thread in April when I discovered the cause.... Consider re installing an earlier version of DMSS (I used apkpure.com). I recently found out that...

    SmartPSS will not display Events

    Small clarification..... the Event screen is not totally blank - the column headings are shown but no event lines are displayed. There are events that should be displayed and are displayed on the other laptop.

    How to setup second location to access and control Dahua NVR

    I bought the switch as in my previous post May 9th and can confirm that the setup now functions very well using my spare laptop as described. It does seem the router is not suited to processing CCTV data so best to bypass it with a network switch.

    SmartPSS will not display Events

    I run the same version of Smartpss on two laptops. Both laptops access the same NVR via WIFI. The Smartpss config settings on both laptops are identical. Smartpss on both laptops used to work correctly up until 2 days ago. At that time Smartpss on laptop B suddenly stopped working so I...

    How to setup second location to access and control Dahua NVR

    Thanks for the feedback. TonyR's HDMI KVM looks promising and yes, similar products are available in Australia, but I like the idea of using a spare laptop to access the network since that would save the cost of an extra monitor, mouse and cables. Starting with the laptop/network approach ...

    How to setup second location to access and control Dahua NVR

    In my home office I use a monitor and mouse connected directly to the NVR (a 4216-16P) to manage my CCTV system. It works well for my needs but I need to setup a second location about 10m away (in a separate room) to do the same thing. Can I somehow run a second monitor and second mouse in this...

    App DMSS connection failed

    Consider re installing an earlier version of DMSS (I used apkpure.com). I recently found out that Google Store automatically updates DMSS whenever there is a new version of DMSS and people report that some of these updates screw up your system. I immediately located and then disabled the auto...
