    Thanks mate. Appreciate you fending off this option ;-)

    Dahua NVR or Blue Iris?

    Not so many i5-8500 EliteDesks, so I have a list of some others I'm considering. Pricing is AU so will be higher than y'all are used to seeing. The two that have video cards also have onboard with Quick Sync, so i could possibly scrape back a few bucks there. What do you think??? HP...

    Dahua NVR or Blue Iris?

    I think I'm getting convinced now. Reading this I just played around using an old i3 2400 I had idle, and within a short time got all my cams enabled (bar one) and three recording full-time. The i3 started to die in the ass after that... but I'm now looking at HP Elitedesk i5-8500 as I think...

    Dahua NVR or Blue Iris?

    I have a new second surveillance site with 2x Dahua 5442TMP-ASE and maybe a few of my 2MP Starlight hand-downs. I need an NVR, and am trying to decide which way to go. The cheapest/easiest option is to buy a bottom of the range Dahua NVR for a few hundred bucks (AU) and be done with it. An...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    If I have OpenVPN server running at home on an Asus router, and a remote client connected. Is it possible (within the VPN framework) to view the client device from the home network... or would this require the server/client roles to be reversed? I have set up a remote site with a few cams and...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Yes, I have seen that setting while poking around. The two effective connections run concurrently.

    Recommended or current popular cameras

    As a beginner, I can't stress enough how beneficial it was having a few Varifocal cams in my initial order.

    Not receiving notifications in DMSS Android for SMD events (offline setup / local)

    100% non-expert suggestion incoming. Would adding a cheap entry-level Dahua NVR into the equation be an option? I get notifications via the NVR without having P2P enabled. My understanding is that it's achieved via a packet notification using the Android/iOS app infrastructure.

    Camera Event Footage Over Internet to Remote NVR

    Moving discussion regarding this from another of my threads. I am putting 3 Dahua cams up at a house I need to monitor. I plan on using cameras with SD card recording, plugged in to a old OpenWRT router and sending event footage out via a Nighthawk 4G LTE mobile router. I want to bring that in...

    3666-EMP (and 4104-KSL) - Monitor Vacant House

    Thanks Tony. I was thinking I'd use SD card "edge" recording and just send event footage only over the LTE connection, rather than a 24/7 stream. I have 150GB at no less than 100Mb/s from the LTE service. Still a hard no? Yeah the security supplier got all evasive when I asked for some night...

    3666-EMP (and 4104-KSL) - Monitor Vacant House

    Another brainfart I just had was whether it's feasible to skip having an NVR on this site. Using the 4G LTE Mobile Router and ethernet to a router I have lying around, then over the internet to the cams?

    3666-EMP (and 4104-KSL) - Monitor Vacant House

    Long time no visit. We have recovered a property which is now vacant. Because of the grief involved I need to quickly smash up some surveillance. Ordinarily I'd grab the necessary from Andy, but I don't think I can wait... even for DHL. - 3666. Local installer/suppliers, who are proving cagey...

    Review-Dahua SD42212T-HN 2mp Starlight 12x PTZ

    Thanks Andy. It's just that the auto-focus is a bit slow at longer zooms. Maybe there's a setting I've missed... or mis-adjusted [emoji23] Cheers, Steve Edit: Adjusting "focus limit" right down to the lowest setting helped a lot.

    Andy I can't find any references to firmware for this one. Only the "T". Any clues where to look? Cheers, Steve

    Review-Dahua SD42212T-HN 2mp Starlight 12x PTZ

    What is the difference between the T-HN camera reviewed, and an S-HN I just saw for sale second hand? I thought I might grab it for fun. Price is AU$75, which is probably about fiddy bucks in the 52 [emoji6]

    Where to find latest version of SmartPSS for MacOS?

    I just grabbed it yesterday off Dahua Wiki for a friend's Mac, which I'm pretty sure is updated to BS.

    DMSS 1.93.000 - Safe Download of APK

    There is at least some level of malware control in installing apps via Google Play. When you sideload an app, it's anything goes. I'm not "complaining" either. [emoji849] Yes, I use OpenVPN.

    DMSS 1.93.000 - Safe Download of APK

    I've just given GDMSS another go. Time scrolling during playback still does not work reliably. Actually it wigs out almost immediately and keeps reverting to particular times no matter how many attempts to drag it to elsewhere. The push notification list does not include IVS events, though...

    DMSS When Mobile (On Cell Data)

    I'll get busy in my Asus router blocking those domains. Thanks. Regarding APNs... I have dredged around very briefly and received the impression that on Android the equivalent is Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) . I have some reading to do... ;)

    DMSS When Mobile (On Cell Data)

    Thanks for the links. Yes, I was very concerned about one hop updating from the rather old to current firmware. I'm more than happy to go through each update while I work on some other stuff... particularly if it is a way to avoid a bricky-brick. Again, I appreciate your assistance.

    DMSS When Mobile (On Cell Data)

    The NVR is not blocked in the router... just the cams. I don't fully understand "Apple notification range". I expect there's the same for Android, but I'm not following how my NVR's notification is identified there as being associated with my mobile or an app on it. Obviously I'm not Mr...
