    So nothing to do but wait? Reckon I'll leave it alone before I screw it up. At least the live preview works.

    There was an older post that showed how to take one apart but I can't find it. If you get it apart there will only be one tiny button in it to reset. Sometimes it's not obvious. Watch the face of the camera when putting back together. I had some gasket near the lens, make sure it's lined up...

    Don't know much but once the password is set in the nVR for the cameras it expects that password. If you unplug a camera from power then power it up, it appears on the NVR under remote, but it resets the password to the original (admin). If you don't get the correct password for that camera...

    NVR5xxx Firmware Released on 201712

    Thanks, that helped a lot. Dang thing kept adding the next camera to channel 5. Think they would have a feature to just add the channel manually.

    Dahua intercom firmware upgrades and problems

    On a post from someone else that I saw long ago, they suggested not upgrading firmware on cameras if they are working fine and do what you want. Might apply to other stuff.

    gDMSS Plus app no longer working after update

    I was having about the same problem with my Samsung J3. One day it just stopped connecting to the cameras via 4G. It would receive the alarm notification, but when I went to view the video it would give a "failed to connect" message. Would work fine with the wi-fi at home. Finally found that...

    gDMSS Plus doesn't work ... gDMSS HD works ?!?

    Might have fixed it but will have to check today. Last night was going thru Verizon internal diagnostics on the phone. One message said that I haven't turned the phone off in 2 weeks, and suggested I turn it off and on. When I did, I had 15 updates waiting, one was GDMSS. Updated all apps and...

    gDMSS Plus doesn't work ... gDMSS HD works ?!?

    I'm having something similar with my GDMSS. Was working fine for a month or so with push notifications coming within 10 seconds after the alarm was triggered. Here in the last 3 weeks it can be delayed several hours between alarm and notification. Any idea what might be causing this?

    Need help trying to set up VPN

    My router gives either the option for single IP address or a subnet. About the same for the VPN setup on the Moto G phone but the IP address changes every time I access GDMSS.

    Need help trying to set up VPN

    No...I was off on vacation..had a few other things going on. Like Rotorwash was saying, I think I need a remote access VPN. Most instructions are for a site to site which I could figure out. Just want it for my Moto g phone, which has a VPN section. When the Moto phone accesses the...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Got IVS working like you said..hooking laptop directly to POE port and using browser. Wouldn't do it before from NVR and from SmartPSS on laptop. Also the SmartPlan menu with the lightbulb icon (yellow = on) was funny...reckon each camera has it's own software. Thanks a bunch..

    Just got my two 5231s in a few days ago. Testing them out and run into the exact same message and IVS problem. Can't get tripwire to work on either. Was a solution posted somewhere?

    Need help trying to set up VPN

    Trying to set up a VPN on my Android and home router without any port forwarding. Cisco has a great site for info, but it is more complicated than I need. I need to find what would be the remote IP address for my Moto G Play Android phone USING 4G/3G Verizon network. One would think the remote...

    Toying with mounting cameras inside on upper window casing

    Yeah..and had an alarm yesterday afternoon from a fly on the window..wonder if flies landing on an outside camera lens would also set it off (or would be just too big for max target size)?

    Toying with mounting cameras inside on upper window casing

    Who said I won't listen..just wanted to know the reasoning instead of hearing just "no". The focusing/FOV issue is something I didn't consider. Plus the crime deterrent - and now that I think of it a long time ago before I even got this system, my brother told me his old analog outside cameras...

    Dahua Backdoor Uncovered

    Yes..got AVG...and I started looking through the IPs.. a lot are Google, the 31.13.65.7 and similar were Facebook, one was Taiwan and another from India. If the ACK is zero...does that mean it's safe (no contact)? How concerned should I be? The blank IPs are my Public WAN address.

    Dahua Backdoor Uncovered

    I got to looking at my router. Don't have any of the UPNP, DMZ, DNS or port forwarding enabled. But went to the security and system log. Security log is spitting out new entry every 5 seconds. I unplugged every device in the house (NVR, cut off all computers, Tablets, shut down my smartphone)...

    Toying with mounting cameras inside on upper window casing

    How would mounting inside limit them other than what i noted? Is there some other factor I'm not aware of?

    Toying with mounting cameras inside on upper window casing

    Presently have my 2 cameras sitting in the window sill while waiting for a contract to get new roofing. I bought an NVR and the cameras in January..presently just learning how things work. They work rather well behind the window, except when you turn a room light on at night. Got to toying with...

    Dahua Web plugin has stopped working in Firefox

    I had the same problem..but found even though I could not view the video on my laptop because the plugin would not install, I could still make changes to the camera settings. I just watched the picture changes on my NVR monitor.

    Firmware for newer dahua cams as well as detailed specs available here

    Actually managed to update the firmware on my HDW4431EM-AS without bricking it. Heeded your warning and didn't do this on a whim. Camera keeps turning the IR light on even after I turn the IR off, set it on "manual" and turned it down to 0, still comes back on. Did a factory reset with the...

    Wonder if it has anything to do with the Wikileaks - CIA issue? Both manufacturers at the same time?
