    I'm out of touch! Is IPC-Color4K-X- 3.6 and 2.8mm still the "good" stuff from Andy?

    I'm out of touch and not been here in awhile! Is the IPC-Color4K-X- 3.6mm and 2.8mm still the "good" stuff from Andy these days? and if so, where can I buy them? I have (QTY-1) 2.8mm and (QTY-1) 3.6mm IPC-Color4K-X cameras that are suddenly dead, I think from a POE surge or something bad...

    Dahua NVR - Email setup with Gmail and the changes to less secure apps coming up on 5/30/22...

    GMail is making a major change to their email security settings on 5/30/22, that might break allowing emails from Dahua devices when sending through GMail as things were previously configured, but I found this link earlier today on the Dahua Wiki which was actually just put up within the last 48...

    New Dahua thermal cameras

    @wittaj --- not sure if we should be intrigued or if we should run away in the other direction screaming in fright at another "thermal" release from Dahua. (considering the problems we've seen with their current thermals)

    IPC-Color4K-X - IVS is often mistaking deer for people

    I have a bunch of IPC-Color4K-X cameras from @EMPIRETECANDY . I like them a lot. However, the IVS Intrusion Box rules are regularly giving me "false positives" for deer. My Intrusion Boxes are set for Enter/Exit/Appear and intended to alert me when people are on my property. They...

    Dahua NVR -- where to set pre-recording seconds for IVS rule

    Remind me on a Dahua NVR, where you go to set the # seconds it should pre-record for a camera's IVS rule? For example, if my IVS rule is triggered, I want the camera to record the 15 seconds BEFORE the event happened as well, so in my DMSS app I can easily see what led up to the IVS event...

    DMSS App update in the last week or so...

    Not sure if anyone noticed, but the DMSS app (at least for Android) was updated within the last week (build date 9/26/21). I've noticed a couple of small improvements with it overall. Worth checking out (not sure if the Apple/IOS one was updated or not as it seems that version is more buggy...

    Camera D3 not recording events properly

    Can anyone help explain this? I have 12 cameras, but Camera 3 doesn't seem to be recording General video properly. As far as I can tell, I have it configured the SAME on both the camera and the NVR, compared to the other cameras? (but the Green line is all bluey-purply) Any idea what I can...
