    Dahua Push Notifications?

    Working fine for ivs intrusion & trip here in both idmss and dmss. I just enabled this tonight after getting ivs set up. Wouldn't dare do it with motion detection.

    What UPS

    I guess I don't think about this too deeply. Apc for me. Just replaced the battery after around 4 years. It allows me to power down the nvr when I can if it's an extended outage but mostly we have momentary glitches and it saves that beating from surge/quick dropout.

    Review-OEM Loryta IPC-T5442T-ZE Varifocal 4mp camera (Dahua)

    You have motion blur in that pic too. I do understand why people prefer color at night but if everything is dialed in right with B&W and IR, I think you'd see much better results even at that distance.

    Well the cables are already run and they are where they are out there right? So not much choice as far as placement. Since you have two per corner, if you have two watching one area you could consider having one aimed to view closely along the house wall and the opposite picking up where the...

    Never imagined it would happen to me ...

    I think you were very lucky to escape a very bad scene brewing. Without being obtrusive and certainly don't answer if you don't want to, but is there anything in your tiny house that's so desirable and they knew about it? I'd be thinking about anyone who was in the house prior as a contractor or...

    NVR and Camera Roles with IVS / Motion

    I believe the cameras are the front end of processing the triggers. The nvr is recording them. Or if you have an SD card in the camera it gets recorded to that. I could stand corrected though...

    They may have scoped you out and saw you have stuff in that garage worth getting. Or it could have been as random as any other event but more organized to increase their odds of not getting caught. But there's no honor among thieves. If the lookouts saw a cop car coming do the ones in the garage...

    NVR and Camera Roles with IVS / Motion

    It's generally advised to do it in camera I believe. If memory serves, when I first set up motion detection in the nvr and enabled it for a channel, it still wasn't working. Turns out that even though I enable it in the nvr it somehow didn't push that setting to the cameras and I had to do it in...

    This is sound in the same room 6' away. When I listen in ear buds with volume just under full blast, it's about the loudness in the room. The sound can be minimized greatly by putting any kind of baffle between you and the nvr. Ultimately it's up to you and what you can deal with. It's obtrusive...

    You can always get the nvr and if it's too loud, do what looks to be an easy fan mod. I think I'm gonna do that mod as well- only to the power supply fan. That's the noisy one. At 8' from your ears, I think it will be troublesome. Everyone is different though. I've been in pro fireworks and pro...

    Recording Variables (Anti-Dither, Pre-Record, Pack Duration etc) - Providing A Rundown of What They & Others Do & How They Work

    So I have been having very good success now using intrusion zones, plus when appropriate adding trip wires in the scene. I'm able to turn off motion detection now and just go with continuous/smart. Working great. Now as night falls..lots more testing to see if this holds up per camera scene at...

    New house set-up advice please

    Very good. Sort through this stuff now before you make the purchase. There's two other considerations here- a non poe nvr which should be quieter (must confirm from someone who knows the difference between the two) OR using blue iris on a 24/7 pc for the 'NVR'. Many people here swear by...

    I couldn't find the thread either but there is one somewhere. Youtube has video on it like this one- Hopefully someone else will chime in about it.

    New house set-up advice please

    You are right to be concerned about the fan noise. I don't think you will find it acceptable to be in the same room with it, especially for long periods of time. You can either try and isolate the nvr as best you can, or try and do a fan mod for something quieter (search the forum for that) or...

    Andy is responsive to email and pm here. Might be better than calling. To bradners point, it's always a thought to get a 16 channel nvr for future growth. Me, 8 is enough.

    You're welcome, but it's also worth mentioning I couldn't have assembled my meager system without the generous input of everyone here either. This place is quite a wealth of information, be it deep dives or simple approaches. It's all good. Andy will not let you down. I have my eye on the same...
