    Yi Home Camera and Smart PSS

    In my case (using Alwinner V2 firmware) I can assign a user name and password for RTSP, ONVIF and HTTP (same username/password for all 3)

    Yi Home Camera and Smart PSS

    This. I imported the Yi camera's in the NVR and SmartPSS connects to the NVR and can see the camera's that way. For live view I use tinyCam Pro though; much simpler interface and faster to use. Imported camera's via RTSP with that app.

    Yi Home Camera and Smart PSS

    I have 3 Yi camera's (a very old 720p version and 2 newer 1080P versions). Out of the box they don't support RTSP/Onvif and I wasn't quite fond of the stock firmware/app. But there are several custom firmware's you can flash on them. To list a few: https://github.com/TheCrypt0/yi-hack-v4...

    Dahua NVR W/ VPN Setup - Push Notifications

    Pretty much what @awonson said above. I have a TP-Link C7 router with a OpenVPN server running on it. When I'm not home and I have OpenVPN open on my Android, notifications get through. DMSS app is configured with the camera's/NVR IP-adress, not P2P. Nowadays, I would probably run Wireguard...

    Detecting wildlife with Dahua cameras

    I finally got around to reading this topic. I have a 5442T-ZE (destined for family) above my own 5231R-ZE. While I love the better image quality (both day and night) of the 5442; I was not able to get it trigger non-humans/vehicles and reading through this topic, now I know why. So as of...

    2022 EmpireTech Autumn Oct. Sales

    I understand that. But can we order other items from Aliexpress with shipping from Amazon.de like NVR's, doorbells etc. ?

    2022 EmpireTech Autumn Oct. Sales

    Ah, now I get it.;) That screenshot you posted before (of an order of 3 5442 camera's); that €23 difference was the Paypal rate? If so, yeah that's bad. Can you do this for all items or only items already listed on Amazon.de? And so in the future for us Europeans just order directly through...

    2022 EmpireTech Autumn Oct. Sales

    Yes, Amazon.de prices are with tax (in our Dutch case 21%) but on Aliexpress the tax is only included with items of €150 or less. I have spend way to much time today researching this but for us Dutch/Europeans; since 1 July 2021 rules have changed. When we buy something from outside of Europe...

    Will this be for all items we buy from you (via Aliexpress or direct by email) or only the listed items of your Amazon.de store?

    Current camera brand/model of choice (available in europe)?

    I ordered a camera (IPC-T5442T-ZE) a few weeks before Andy opened up his German Amazon store and I won a coupon with his 7 years anniversary promotion so I ordered it via email. As for the 2 camera's listed on Amazon.de; to be fair; those 2 are by far the most popular models here. And yes; Andy...

    Current camera brand/model of choice (available in europe)?

    @Sokonomi You do know @EMPIRETECANDY / Andy now has a Amazon.de store: Amazon.de A limited number for now, but at least the most popular models for sale now. Hopefully more models and other stuff soon. Also; a few months ago I bought a camera from Andy directly (via email) and shipped to The...

    EmpireTech 7 Years Anniversay Promotion Plan

    Sure we can. Before Amazon started the Dutch Amazon in March 2020, we Dutch had to buy from Amazon Germany, UK, France etc. if we wanted something from Amazon. And we still can, only thing is there might be a small TAX difference between the Netherlands and 'foreign' Amazon websites, but Amazon...

    Improving 5442T-ZE Images, primarily at night

    Following this thread. Been tinkering with a 5442ZE that will go to a family member in due time. Playing with these settings also. Funny thing is, camera was still in day mode but as soon as I changed one setting (even slightly) it went to black/white and never came back to color, and being in...

    Dahua and Amcrest compatibility.

    Just an update; in the end they ordered the IPC-HDW5442T-ZE and I have it mounted next to my IPC-HDW5231R-ZE, just so I don't have to dial in all the settings at their place. And to see what ~ 5 years of development looks like. I have yet to dial in the settings for the new 4MP (I have to look...

    Lottery was fun Andy. I put the $20 coupon to good use on a IPC-HDW5442T-ZE camera for family of mine.

    Dahua and Amcrest compatibility.

    Good to hear. Would have been a bit unhandy having to use different apps/programs. If they decide to go with a camera system their new house, the will be using a NVR. They connect via Wireguard VPN (on a Raspberry Pi) to their camera's. No P2P. Now I know Amcrest and Dahua should work together...

    Dahua and Amcrest compatibility.

    Hi. Family of mine have been using 2 Amcrest IP2M-841 camera's as a baby camera. They were recommendations from this forum. They like them. Now they're looking for an outside camera on a barn that's about 40 meters away. And of course, I'm looking at what Dahua has available.;) For now, I'm...

    Christmas Sales 2021

    Hi Andy, any news on this? We would love to have an Amazon store here in the EU. Comparing prices on Aliexpress, the IP Cam Talk store and your US Amazon store does not favor the EU buyers right now. :oops:

    Dahua NVR not recording smart events

    I'm not OP but I have not enabled P2P on either camera or NVR. On the NVR's webinterface under "Management" -> Network -> "P2P".

    Dahua NVR not recording smart events

    Well, the first example I pointed out in that topic was the IVS events stopped showing on the NVR's timeline on January 12 and came back on January 27. The last time it happened, the IVS events stopped showing on the NVR's timeline on March 10 and came back on March 23. Are your camera and NVR...

    Dahua NVR not recording smart events

    I had/have the same problem: Dahua NVR seems to forget IVS recording settings Problem comes and goes. It did start working again since the last time. I haven't done a thing to either the camera or NVR.

    Dahua NVR seems to forget IVS recording settings

    As unexpected it started working again (), last Thursday night it stopped working again. No more IVS events in the NVR's timeline. 24/7 recording still working. It stopped working on March 10 between 17:26 (last IVS event on the NVR) and 17:31:08 (next IVS event still recorded on the camera's SD...

    Dahua NVR W/ VPN Setup - Push Notifications

    That's odd. I've blocked my camera and NVR from internet access (parental control in TP-Link router) and DMSS notifications work fine. When I'm home and (via OpenVPN on the same router) when I'm away.

    Dahua NVR W/ VPN Setup - Push Notifications

    @HereBull Could you not setup a Wireguard server (on a NAS, router, Raspberry Pi etc.) and run a VPN connection on your phone 24/7? On top of that; you could run a split tunnel VPN so that only the Dahua data goes through your Wireguard VPN tunnel and all other data traffic (on your phone, like...

    Dahua NVR seems to forget IVS recording settings

    I wasn't bothered enough to work on this, but today I found the NVR started displaying the IVS events again. The first IVS event on the NVR was at 16:39:20 Yesterday afternoon. I didn't show a previous IVS event at 16:36:00 that was recorded on the camera's SD-card. So in the logs I go to see...

    Dahua NVR seems to forget IVS recording settings

    Correct. Yes. Just the normal Playback menu on the (webinterface) of the NVR and also the playback of Smart PSS on my laptop. I don't use any form of AI. Yes. That's how I normally view the events. (I rarely use the NVR for playback, pretty much only to search for things IVS/tripwire didn't...

    2022 New Product Plan and Chinese New Year Plan

    Ah gotcha. I didn't know that. That's indeed weird. A very rough work-around may be to use IVS of the NVR (or motion detection of Blue Iris) for the VTO with a very large object size. (simulating a person/hand/finger in close proximity of the VTO's camera). Not bullet-proof, but it's...
