    Dahua's DSS Express or Pro

    Now it seems to be that SmartPSS is not available for download anymore from dahuasecurity.com - site. I have not used DSS Express, but it seems it is heavier server/client software. In future am I supposed to install that giant on client's computers to give a simple remote access to their NVRs?

    Advantage to running individual cables to NVR vs POE switch and using a single cable back to the NVR

    Can you tell me more? Let's say I have NVR IP 192.168.7.224 and camera is connected to PoE port and has ip 10.1.1.65. What route command I should use in PC command line? And how do I reach camera web ui in 10.1.1.65 if connecting from WAN to NVR either through NAT port forward or P2P? I know...

    Advantage to running individual cables to NVR vs POE switch and using a single cable back to the NVR

    Adding one thing: at least with Dahua NVR and cameras, if cameras are connected direct to Dahua NVR PoE-ports, they are then behind NVRs switch and cannot be accessed directly from outside network. Most of the cases this is just fine, but if you need to adjust special settings in individual...

    Dahua SD card recording problems and most reliable sd card?

    Thanks Kevin, that's good to know. I also personally prefer NVR and very often use WD Purple HDDs, but sometimes clients want to use just camera and sd card or use sd card as redundancy.

    Dahua SD card recording problems and most reliable sd card?

    I have seen that there is also Dahua branded MicroSD-cards sold by dealer, but with almost 10x price compared - for example - to Sandisk. I wonder if those are any better? Maybe not manufactured by Dahua, but by some other big brand and just branded for Dahua? In some older cases I have put...

    Dahua SD card recording problems and most reliable sd card?

    My client has problems in his Dahua cameras with sd card recording. One HFW4431E-E3 bullet and SD6CE445XA-HNR big PTZ. Both cameras are set up to record continuously "green" general stream and plus that also motion detection stream triggered by IVS. In HFW4431E the recording does not...

    Latest New NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000003.1.R.200813

    What is confusing is that www.dahuasecurity.com offers 19th march 2019 as newest firmware on their website. I got 24th april 2020 from Finnish importer and now this 7th of july from this forum. Why isn't the newest on Dahua website?

    Awesome, Awonson! Just noticed that NVR does not found newest FW with "manual check". I had 18th dec 2019 in, and after check it says "you have newest version" even there was 19th march 2020 on Dahua website available.

    Dahua NVR Push Notifications

    Hi Keoki, Sorry, my post was not supposed to be a solution/answer to your original question, just added a post in this same thread while didn't want to make a new one, because problem was almost similar. Just that I did not get push directly from camera, but worked perfectly through NVR. Now...

    Dahua NVR Push Notifications

    I have installed NVR4208-8P-4KS with 4 Dahuas and 4 Milesight cameras. I finally got IVS push messages work to Android gDMSS plus, had to select first nvr->ivs->tripwire->channels I want to get the push from. Cameras are all connected to external switch so they can see internet and NVR same...

    Dahua NVR4208-8P-4KS2 and timeline shifting 1hr with other brand cameras

First has 2 x Dahua and 2 x Hikvision, second 4 x Dahua, 4 x Milesight. Both seem to have something wrong with the time. I...

    Good grief! Thousand thanks, new info and it indeed redirects browser to 127.0.0.1 and opens the NVR web UI. I would like to set custom BLC area in a camera, this seems not to be possible even directly from NVR local UI if camera is connected in NVR Poe switch. Need to access cameras own web...

    Latest New NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000003.1.R.200813

    Yes, DDNS and port forwarding is indeed old fashioned, I mostly do all my installations also P2P as it is easy for client and works very stable nowadays. However, having Dahua DNS backup to get the public IP can be sometimes useful, even if troubleshooting something else than Dahua issues. Also...

    Latest New NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000003.1.R.200813

    Seems that Dahuaddns is no longer supported in NVR 4.0. Asked from Dahua support and the answer was just " The Dahuaddns was no longer in use for a long time, we suggest you to choose third party DDNS service, thank you. " Well in older NVR versions and cameras it is still working. Also other...

    Milesight NVR RTSP url?

    1. With Milesight camera(s), I can get RTSP stream out with VLC player (and OBS and Ipcamlive) with URL rtsp:/user:credential@192.168.1.10/main 2. Same URL than in 1. does not work, also without /main or /sub. There is no other URL's suggested on that iSpy page for Milesight devices.

    Milesight NVR RTSP url?

    Thanks for that, but it's not any of those URLs. NVR has RTSP-port but no instructions how to connect. I have also asked Milesight support but they do not bother to reply.

    Milesight NVR RTSP url?

    My client has Milesight NVR MS-N5016-UT. How can we get RTSP stream out from the NVR? In the settings RTSP is mentioned and there is a port 554 for it as a default. I have tried with VLC but it just gives an error. When trying directly to all Milesight cameras connected with that NVR, RTSP...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2/8P NVR with cameras connected via Ubiquity wireless bridge

    Well, in Dahua NVR4208-8P-4 it has 8 PoE ports for cameras and 1 port for LAN (non-PoE). So it has two subnets, default 10.1.1.x for PoE-switch and then for example 192.168.1.x for LAN. Dahua can find the cameras in both subnets, I don't know how it is with Hikvision.

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2/8P NVR with cameras connected via Ubiquity wireless bridge

    I just did this last week. 5 x Dahua cameras + 1 Hikvision PTZ. 3 buildings, 2 cameras in each building. Dahuas 4-port PoE switches in the 2 other buildings. First 2 Dahuas were easy, just connected in the NVR which is in the house. Then there is Ubiquiti LiteAP LAP-120 5GHz in the house and 2...

    What you need to know about iVMS-4200

    M.fielding, well, time has passed by and things seem to be changed. Originally back then, when I had problems with IVMS-4200 and Hiwatch DS-I-220 cameras, I contacted the dealer/importer and they told that all Hiwatch cameras do not work with ip/domain and IVMS. It sounds crazy, because there is...

    Zavio camera in Dahua NVR = auto exposure problems

    Sorry, did not find a fix. So probably it is the same when watching a h264 stream with VLC player from day to night and vice versa? I have 4 Zavios recording to a NAS (camera is pushing the video on the disk) and this seems to work ok. So it seems when the stream is "pulled" from camera the...

    SmartPSS version with windows 10/64

    Bigredfish, oh, also that. Sound not so good. I sell + install Dahua cameras and it is hard to instruct people to install SmartPSS if every 0.1 version is so different. Also now I am a bit worried what happens when they download newest version and it cannot connect the device anymore.

    Thanks Marku, got my Hiwatch work with IVMS-4200. But originally I might have been barking wrong tree.

    Zavio camera in Dahua NVR = auto exposure problems

    I have a client who has Zavio B5110 and B5210 cameras. There was NAS storage for them but it was difficult to use and sometimes offline, so I decided to put a Dahua NVR4104-P there. I knew it would work as I have myself B5110 connected to my NVR4116 and in past I had one B5210 also. And...

    Dahua NVR4208-8P-4K recording question

    Hmm, I have sometimes tested smart search but tought it is just to go thru MD records in a certain area. Does it work also when the whole timeline is green (no motion record on)? So the motion detection happens during play?
