    Active Deterrent Audio Linkage Period

    So according to my testing the setting period above does not control audio linkage. The audio linkage is broadcast all the time IVS is triggered so must be tied to the period of setting for IVS detection period. This seems wrong as if there's a setting for warning light linkage then this...

    Active Deterrent Audio Linkage Period

    I have setup an IVS rule for Human triggering which seems to work well. However I'm confused by the Period setting for audio & warning light linkage. In the GUI you have a period setting under warning light linkage - see attached. Is this supposed to control the linkage period for just the...

    Dahua Web UI SD Card playback

    I'm struggling to playback recordings on the SD Card in an IPC-HDW5231R-ZE. The SD Card is showing in the Local tab and is showing almost full but I can't access any recordings under playback - no recordings showing at all. It's set to record on Local for Schedule, Motion Detection & Alarm...

    Spot what's wrong

    Sorry to hijack the thread but has anyone found a way to access the NVR on a Mac computer which isn't running IE via a virtual machine? It would be great if there was a browser which allowed direct access to cameras and NVR on a Mac.

    Dahua Wizsense NVR - Options

    Hi All, I've been asked to spec up a CCTV security system for a commercial premises. Initially 7 cameras with expansion likely. I therefore am looking at 16CH NVRs. The client also wants floodlights controlled either through PIRs or via triggers from the NVR. Previous experience with Dahua...

    gdmss plus IVS push notification not working

    I've installed the new DMSS app on an iPhone and got notifications working for my CCTV XVR but I can't get them to work for a neighbours unit. Have tried all the suggestions above but no push notifications received. Also with the new app the playback of a push notification is behaving oddly...

    New iDMSS Version 4.90.000

    Organising favourites is also a problem in the new app. It’s impossible, as far as I can tell, to rearrange the order of cameras in a favourite group. It makes organising cameras within a group a real pain. As mentioned it also doesn’t bring up the last view on reopening the app which was...

    Help with old analogue DVR - QVIS/Dahua

    Thanks for the reply. No I’d already replaced the CMOS battery and it didn’t make any difference. However I finally found the problem and have solved the issue. Basically the internal logging file had got so large it had used up all the internal memory and so the DVR couldn’t save any more data...

    Help with old analogue DVR - QVIS/Dahua

    OK I've been researching this for quite a while now but have no definite answers yet. However I think I've found the Dahua model this device was originally made under and a possible firmware file. The motherboard has the model number printed on it - DVR-HF-S. After searching on the Dahua...

    Help with old analogue DVR - QVIS/Dahua

    Hi All, This is a long shot but hoping someone can help. I purchased an analogue DVR many years ago and have now passed this on to a neighbour. It worked fine when I had it but it was disconnected for some time and although the unit still works it will not save the configuration on reboot...

    Dahua NVR API Command Help

    There’s no way to go directly to a specific tour screen. However not sure that’s what you’re after. You can choose which channels are in the tour screens in the settings on the DVR. You have to list the order you want and then enable tour.

    PFA 137 vs PFA 130e

    Yes that's what I'm hearing. The problem with the fixed focal for me is the size. they're smaller than the varifocal which means they won't look quite as neat as my current install. It's a minor issue I know but I'm a bit OCD when it comes to things like that :rofl:. I might order a fixed...

    PFA 137 vs PFA 130e

    Well I ordered the PFA130-e along with another IPC-HDW5231R-ZE from Andy. Just fitted it and the junction box is perfect. Thought I’d post a few photos of the new camera on the junction box along with a photo of the analogue camera I replaced. I have two more analogues to replace but I might...

    PFA 137 vs PFA 130e

    Thanks for the photo. Think I’ll probably order the PFA-130e but I may see if I can install the cam without the junction box. However at least I’ll have the option if I change my mind. I assume the consensus is that the PFA-130e is a better option than the PFA-137?

    PFA 137 vs PFA 130e

    Once you’ve practiced terminating its not difficult. You can also make it easier with the new through termination plugs. Just takes patience and practice. I’ve lost count of how many I’ve terminated over the years!!

    PFA 137 vs PFA 130e

    I already have 14 IP cams installed. I’m down to the last three analogues so I’ve had lots of practice!

    PFA 137 vs PFA 130e

    Always terminate my own. I built my own place 10 years ago and ran Ethernet everywhere. It has all come in useful.

    PFA 137 vs PFA 130e

    I’ve done a search but can’t find the answer I’m looking for before buying one of the above. I am gradually replacing all my analogue cams with IP and have purchased many from Andy. All working great. I now need to replace several which are wall mounted and rather than squeeze the cabling into...

    ANR Setting Not Working

    OK quick update in case anyone else struggles with this. Guidance for these settings is never great so hopefully this info will help in future. The camera was set to record motion and alarm but not continuously. I thought the setting of the ANR time on the NVR would have ensured that the...

    ANR Setting Not Working

    Has nobody any ideas why the NVR isn't downloading the recordings from the camera? I've checked all the settings I can but still no footage being retrieved from the SD Card by the NVR.

    ANR Setting Not Working

    Hi All, I've just purchased an SD Card (32gb) for one of my IP cams (HDW5231R-ZE). It's showing successfully through the cams web interface and I've enabled ANR on the NVR (XVR7416) interface for that cameras with a record time set at 3600secs. I had the NVR shutdown for around 20mins today and...

    Dahua NVR API Command Help

    Hi All, I've been working on customising commands to control my Dahua NVR from http commands. Ultimately I will add these into a remote interface for control of the DVR. I've attached the API document I have for NVR/DVRs. This gives commands for most options but I'm struggling to get a command...

    NVR vs Blue Iris

    I will eventually have replaced all my analogue cameras with IP. Currently running a hybrid Dahua NVR which is working fine if a little flaky on the software front. Once I'm fully IP setup (19 cameras in total) can anyone recommend a rack mounted solution using Blue Iris? The advantage with...

    IVS Pixel Count Setting

    I've had IVS Tripwire notification setup for a while and all seems to work fine. However I've noticed a setting on the camera IVS page called "Pixel Counter". Can anyone explain what this is and how to use it?

    Cable Glands for Dahua RJ45 Connectors

    Thanks for the replies. I've already run bulk external CAT5, that's been installed for several years. I was running analogue off this but am now changing to IP. The problem is not at the bulk cable end, it's the termination at the camera end. The camera is pre-terminated with a weather...

    Cable Glands for Dahua RJ45 Connectors

    I've installed quite a few IPC-HDW5231RP-ZE and have always been able to have the pre-terminated RJ45 socket inside whatever structure I'm attaching the camera to. In this new case I need to use a junction box and am struggling to find a cable gland which will install on the junction box and...

    Dahua Email Notification Suddenly Stopped Working

    For some reason it all started working again. No idea why but I now get email notifications again and I'm still using Gmail. However I now find the push notifications from the iOS app much better and typically use that instead of emailed photo notifications.

    Recording Snapshots on Dahua XVR

    Ok solved this in the end. Simple matter of not selecting the correct type of search when trying to find photos. There are two selections under the search function, Recordings & PIC. You have to select PIC and then do a search on the relevant channels. This then only displays photos and all...
