    Ports blocked from ISP?

    Thanks tangent. Yes both home networks are on the 192.168.1.* number schemes. Both have 192.168.1.1 as the default gateway. I'm not sure what the solution might be to help alleviate it. When I use my vpn on my laptop notebook (windows 7) I can use SmartPss and it will find my NVR at...

    Ports blocked from ISP?

    Hi, I’m on vacation at my in laws and have a strange situation. My cameras work fine over LTE on my cell phone connected to my VPN at home but when I’m on the WiFi at my in laws I can’t access my cameras even though I’ve connected to my VPN at my house (TLS on port 443) Their ISP is...

    Newest iDMSS app 4.40.000 is borken

    Thank you for this. I'm on 4.31.002 still and leaving on vacation today so I'll need to be able to check up on things. I'm glad I saw this thread. I may test 4.4.000 on my wife's iPhone.

    Setting Up GMX Mail.

    As of 11 hours ago I've had no issues using Gmail through my NVR to send emails. As of OP I'd temporarily set the NVR as dmz host just to see if it works or not. Of course I wouldn't leave that as a permanent fix. Just use it to see if you can send outbound or not.

    Setting Up GMX Mail.

    do you have 2 step verification on this account? If so you need to generate an app specific password.

    Adjusting IR levels

    login to the NVR - go to setup - registration page and lick the internet explorer "e" and then it will open the individual camera - enter the password of your NVR again and then go to the Settings page of the camera tab up top and then to IR light. See pics.

    IPC-HDW5431R-ZE (purchased DragonEye) and IVS

    Agree with looney - I'd make the changes on the cameras themselves and I wanted to chime in that I'd recommend downloading Pale Moon Browser (32 bit only) and making changes via the web browser instead of using SmartPSS - I've found the making changes in SmartPSS doesn't always work well (for my...

    Dahua VTO2000 no mobile notifications in gDMSS Plus ...

    It sounds like you are able to view the camera when you are home and on your wifi network and that when you're not home you can't see the camera. When you are not on your wifi are you connected to a VPN at home so that you are "on your network"? It sounds like the camera is performing properly...

    Changed password on my NVR now my cameras are bricked!

    Agree with usaf_pride. Had the same issue last year.

    New DAHUA CUE 1080p not seeing app or network

    Try to disable b/g and only run n on 2.4 - I've had devices that wouldn't connect until I did this including a recent Chromecast.

    Thanks TechBill. Took the plunge on your post and updated. Seems to be working for me.

    DAHUA NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V3.216.0000002.0.R.20181106

    I’m still working flawlessly on 4.20.001 and have not had any prompts to update the app on my iPhone running iOS 11 or an iPad ruining iOS 12 and an older iPad still on iOS 10. Make me wonder if the update was pulled from the App Store or perhaps was not intended for my region (US).

    IPC-HDW5231R-ZE bad night video

    Don't use Chrome. Grab Pale Moon 32 bit. Then click the "ie" icon and login to the camera itself with the same user/pass that is on your NVR.

    iDMSS Push Notifications - Push Type? Video/Image Doesn't Work - FIXED!

    I see. Yes I followed what I said on my last post and restarted the NVR. All is working now. It’s possible that all I needed to do was restart the NVR without touching the app at all. Next time there’s an update to the app I’ll try that first.

    iDMSS Push Notifications - Push Type? Video/Image Doesn't Work - FIXED!

    I just realized my push alerts aren't working either. Did you just uncheck your IVS push notifications, "back up a level" and click the save icon in the top right corner, go back in and "re-check" your IVS subscriptions and then back up a level and save again?

    IP Cam Viewer Pro vs Dahua

    Do you have substream enabled? I use tiny cam pro on a kindle fire hd and it needs the substream. Maybe you need it too? Are you trying h264 or h265. Try h264 instead of h265

    securing NVR5216-16P-4KS2 from the internet

    I have the same NVR. I haven’t specifically blocked it as a firewall rule since I want to receive both iDMSS notifications as well as IVS tripwire emails. Makes me wonder if I should try to block inbound requests to my NVR as a firewall rule on my router.

    I cannot find shutter speed adjustment anywhere

    Thanks for posting that. That's a kick ass setup. I wish I had street lights near my house and while I don't see the reflective tape in the pictures, that's a solid idea although up in the Northeast I can't see it lasting through the winter!

    I cannot find shutter speed adjustment anywhere

    I’d love to see a daytime shot of that Z12 as you have it set up. The night time shot is fantastic.

    Ok, got 4 x 2mp starlights delivered, now what. lol

    did you use the correct username and password on the camera? This happened to me when I first installed the cameras and a hard reset did the trick. If the user/pass are correct try a hard reset by holding the button down and then applying external power (I think it was 12 volt / 2 amp power)...

    Dahua cam dropping off the network each night.

    not sure if this helps or not but doesn't that TrendNet Green switch enter power save mode if the cat5 (or cat 6) cable is under 3 meters? I remember needing to use longer cables for switches sitting next to my computer or the switch would enter low power mode and devices would drop off.

    How to install recessed dome only partially recessed in soffit

    interesting thread. Question though.....won't looney's idea not work? I see OP's post as a before and after. I could be mistaken but doesn't looney's suggestion show the camera behind the triple 2x12 girder and 6x6 post? I wonder if you can use a standard 7 or 8" recessed lighting for new...

    IPC-HDW5831R-ZE IR reflection

    try turning off Smart IR and putting it on manual. Set the IR lower like 10 maybe (play around). I have the same issue and deal with it because I like my camera placment. Here's a pic with Smart IR as well as Manual IR set to 1 (lowest setting).

    iDMSS Plus / gDMSS Plus No Push Notification

    I only use Alarm Manager --> Subscribe --> NVR --> Push type (Live Preview) --> IVS (Cross Line) and select all cameras I want. I do not touch cross region although I never ended up setting that up in the IVS rules anyway and I do not touch motion detection.

    Unable to setup IVS Tripwire or Intrusion on 5231 / 5281

    That happens to me from time to time. I log out and re-log back in and wait about 5 to 10 seconds before hitting the page and it seems to work

    Asus RT-AC68 router OpenVPN setup

    How did you add the NVR in iDMSS Plus? Did you add it by IP address? I would use your VPN and try to re-add the NVR in the IDMSS program.

    iDMSS Plus / gDMSS Plus No Push Notification

    Do you get IVS emails? If you don’t use emails maybe set it up temporarily to see if your rule is actually working or not? You won’t get push notifications if the rule isn’t triggered.

    iDMSS Plus / gDMSS Plus No Push Notification

    You’ve probably already done it but after selecting the cameras in the app under alarms - cross line - did you click the check mark in the top right corner to save the settings? A few times I’ve “backed out” of the menu and forgot to hit the check mark to save the settings. Also for me SmartPss...

    NVR5XXX-4KS2 latest new firmware.

    If I remember correctly the biggest “update” was exporting now allows directly to mp4 in addition to dav. However in reading the consensus is that if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. I’m still on December 2017 firmware that it shipped with. NVR has been running perfectly with zero issues and I’m...
