    Dahua Email Notification Suddenly Stopped Working

    Thanks you! I think that is what happened to mine. I logged in via the web interface, found the verification message (a couple of weeks old by now) and clicked through. All is working now. I appreciate your help.

    Dahua Email Notification Suddenly Stopped Working

    My email problems returned! Just to add to the story, my newly created Outlook.com email account worked only about one day before it too quit sending emails. To summarize, 1. I started with a gmail address using SSL. It worked for months, then stopped. 2. I changed to TLS and changed port...

    Dahua NVR NVR5216-16P-4KS2E On Amazon

    Let me affirm this recommendation. Great prices, quick delivery. I have not needed his support, but all reports from others are very positive. He is an active participant here.

    Dahua Email Notification Suddenly Stopped Working

    I went through exactly the same steps you did, and nothing worked until I created an outlook.com account, TLS, port 587, which worked. Other thoughts: Be sure your GMail is not out of storage. All these emails are kept in your Sent folder, and the images can exhaust our storage. Solution...

    Dahua Email Notification Suddenly Stopped Working

    First one thing that worked for me before: make sure you have adequate remaining storage in Gmail. One time I had my DVR stop sending via GMail when my Sent mail exhausted my storage. Deleting most sent mail and emptying trash got it working again. HOWEVER, the problem has recurred -- alerts...

    Tinycam on Firestick: how to choose substream instead of main?

    Thanks so much. Finding the low bandwidth setting addressed my immediate problem, but I am filing this away. I much appreciate your help.

    Tinycam on Firestick: how to choose substream instead of main?

    I do not see a Low Bandwidth setting in my TinyCam Pro app, newly downloaded on Firestick. The app does not list my camera model; I selected Dahua, IPC-HDW4830EM-AS. The only options are Camera status Enabled Camera name Camera brand Camera model Hostname/IP addres Web port number Protocol...

    Tinycam on Firestick: how to choose substream instead of main?

    Changing the channel number from 1 to 2 or 3 just loses the video signal. Is the "rtsp address" the port number or something else? While logged into the camera, I see the port number is listed as 554, which is what I have entered in TinyCam Pro. Is the port number what I should change, or...

    Tinycam on Firestick: how to choose substream instead of main?

    I have installed Tinycam Monitor Pro on an Amazon Firestick. I am using this to continuously monitor two Dahua Starlight series cameras, the Starlight Fixed Lens Turret (IPC-HDW4231EM-AS) and the Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z). All is working, but I would like to switch the...

    Cannot install Smart PSS -- no "Next" button visible

    Thanks for the link to the latest version. That installed smoothly. Yes, I extracted the executables on the earlier versions. It was an odd problem. The executable obviously launched, as the window came up with nearly identical contents to the installation tutorial. The only things missing were...

    Cannot install Smart PSS -- no "Next" button visible

    I am installing my first wired camera system. When trying to install SmartPSS, the first page of the installation process comes up, but the window displays no "Next" or "Cancel" buttons. I see such buttons on the corresponding page of the instructions at SmartPSS/Install Smart PSS - Dahua Wiki ...

    Lens fog

    May I add that it is the absolute humidity, not the relative humidity, that is important when you seal the camera? Sealing the camera at 90 degrees F and 50% relative humidity is worse than sealing at 65 degrees F and 70% humidity. If you seal it up on a warm day with moderate humidity, the...

    POE Switch Suggestions

    I have been researching my first IP camera system. I am looking at an external switch. Using a self-contained NVR with internal switch will mean that changing its location would be difficult down the road. By using an external switch, I can place the switch any location that makes the most...

    Full-sized locking rack with UPS...recommendations? Overkill?

    Bear in mind that during certain seasons your HVAC will not be running -- or will be heating. If you need cooling, it may need to be something independent of your house system.
