Awesome thanks. I ordered them already with those handy links. Glad to know those models are still relevant. I've been really happy overall with my cameras, some false positives from deer on rare occasion but, that's not horrible. Otherwise they've been great! Hope all is well...

I'm out of touch and not been here in awhile! Is the IPC-Color4K-X- 3.6mm and 2.8mm still the "good" stuff from Andy these days? and if so, where can I buy them? I have (QTY-1) 2.8mm and (QTY-1) 3.6mm IPC-Color4K-X cameras that are suddenly dead, I think from a POE surge or something bad...

I loaded General_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.840.0000000.25.R.230425.bin (from Andy's firmware website) on one of my IPC-COLOR4K-X cameras last night.. did 2 defaults before the firmware, and 2 defaults after the firmware, and then re-added all my settings and IVS rules etc. (they...

i Just found on Andy's website (Download Firmwares) that the 4K-X camera has a firmware of General_IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_PN_Stream3_V2.840.0000000.25.R.230425.bin so maybe I'll give that a try and see if any of the false positives are better with it? Didn't even know Andy had a...

Hey Wittaj , long time no chat. Looks like you recommend for me to stay AWAY from Choice #1 then. Two follow up questions... 1. So the COLOR 4K-X's most recent firmware is STILL 20210908 FW and hasn't been updated since 2 years ago? 2. Should I just leave my COLOR 4K-X's on V2.840.0000000.11.R...

I'm so confused righit now on firmware for IPC-COLOR4K-X model? CHOICE #1 This thread, IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS IPC-T5842T-ZE SMD 3.0 Smart IR Latest New Firmware From EmpireTech, makes it seem like the SMD 3.0 V2.8 2022 Aug Version is the best one to run on 4K cameras... (even though...

Bringing to the top. Wondering if anyone found a reliable way to get CALLS from a Dahua VTO Doorbell on the DMSS app? This doorbell is totally useless to me if I can't get CALLS from the doorbell to automatically pop up on my phone so I can answer them and talk to someone. I have the VTO...

Any idea what fixes/improvements there might be ?

Ugh, I could swear this happened to me long long ago when I first started working with and setting up my Dahua cameras and NVR (Android phone as well). If you already tried clearing the app cache and app storage, and reinstalling afterwards... and it's still happening, then you might want...

GMail is making a major change to their email security settings on 5/30/22, that might break allowing emails from Dahua devices when sending through GMail as things were previously configured, but I found this link earlier today on the Dahua Wiki which was actually just put up within the last 48...

Already tried all that. But since I can't power up the camera, I can't do a factory reset. But I did pull it inside and connect with a 5' patch cable to rule out cabling, tried a different POE port and different POE switch, no luck. It's dead. Waiting for Andy to message me about it.

Oh, and for anyone else interested... @jmcu is correct as well that you can enable email alerts for CAM Offline under the NVR's Alarm In port settings too.. I just enabled it, and received this email shortly after: Alarm Event: CAM Offline Alarm Input Channel No.: 10 Alarm Input Channel Name...

One of my 4K-Color cams from Andy just died for some reason the other day.... so that's why I wanted to find these alert settings. now I gotta wait to find out what Andy says about it, not sure what his warranty is on these units. In the meantime, I ordered one more from him, for a spare...

I can't believe I never saw that there before. That's exactly what I was looking for I think. I will test it this weekend by unplugged a camera and see if it triggers a DMSS alert. thanks so much!

I have a Dahua DHI-NVR608-32-4KS NVR from Empire Andy. One of my 4K-Color-X cameras seems to have died the other day. It won't power on anyone (not a POE switch problem, tried different ports and a different switch). However, I never received any kind of notification that the camera...
