@JK747 would you mind posting a shot of your zigzag tripwire and rules? I'm having issues getting notified with my simple A<->B tripwires.

Anddd now I'm realizing that it doesn't have my email address, and that I need to set another email up for it to send from. Why did I think it would be so easy lol. Thank goodness for Youtube.

Thanks again @bigredfish ! I've enabled the email notification. Hopefully the IVS recording works! I'll keep "Motion" recording for now until I can confirm the blue "Intelligent" highlight is what records the IVS stuff just in case.

Hi All, I'm trying to set up some IVS features but am a bit confused on how this will work between the Camera interface and the NVR interface. First off, I just installed 2x Dahua 5442's and have the NVR5208-4KS2 (NOT PoE, my babies are going through a PoE switch in a closet). My tripwire...

The only thing I can think of that might be causing this to happen is (via my NVR GUI) under Storage > Basic > Create Video Files, I have the time length set to 60 minutes. If I should adjust this to 1440 minutes (24 hours), let me know. Not sure what the pros and cons would be for such a large...

Hi All, I'm still getting my feet wet with all the facets of the new cams I installed. It's been frustrating, to say the least. I definitely thought they would be more plug and play and that the software (both on NVR and on phone) would be more intuitive. I'm hoping you guys can help me at...

Thank you @Alaska Country and @bigredfish for the help there. I just downloaded and installed SmartPSS and was playing around with it. I was wondering a few things: Note that my main goal is to be able to A) be working on my desktop with PSS minimized and then get notified someone is walking...

Thanks for the info! What do people do to view their footage when their NVR is just shoved into a closet? I guess you could run a really long HDMI to it. I currently have my NVR by my feet under my desk and pulled out an old monitor from storage, but the monitor is just on the floor lol so I...

Hmm, question about the video playback: should I have more than just a play/pause and stop button? Do I have an old version that can be updated somehow? Whenever I click on the green part to navigate to a particular time, it seems like it snaps to something that can be very far from the exact...

THEY'RE ALIVEEE!!! Thank you SO much for your help! I have both cams added to my NVR and also got in my workout for today running up and down the stairs a million times to connect/disconnect/adjust everything hahaha. I'm going to first figure out how to view this when I'm not on my home network...

Ah, thanks for catching that point! I'll definitely try one at a time. Going to go swap the cameras that are plugged in now and set the IP for the second camera.

Amazing! Glad I won't have to fidget with the addresses too much. So I'm going to adjust the addresses for both cameras now with the NVR off. Once both have been assigned new IP addresses, I should turn the NVR on and try to add them manually as mat200 suggested?

Thank you! Ok here are some updates: I'm connected to internet but I'm on my desktop now. First, I tried going to that IP address with the NVR plugged in as well as only 1 camera. It appears like I was able to "set up" that exact camera (time zone, password). However, I wasn't able to see a...

Hi Team, many thanks for all the insight. I will try unplugging one of them from the PoE switch and seeing if I can configure the other one that remains plugged in. Things are about to get crazy up in here! My installers are used to installing basic plug and play wifi cameras and doorbell...

If anyone has a spare minute, this total newbie could use your sage wisdom and experience. I need some help figuring out what I (or my installers) might have done wrong trying to set up 2 Dahua 5442 cameras. The internet for my place goes to my router (Fios), and from there a run goes down to my...

I was about to buy a WD Purple off of the official WD site and noticed they had a few variations of the same model/size. The variations were 64MB vs 128MB vs 256MB cache. I checked the product spec sheet and they all appear to be CMR (briefly read that CMR is better than SMR). Is there any...

Got 2 T5442TM's, 2 mounts, and the NVR5208. Can't wait to set up my first system ever. Thanks, Andy!

Roger that, thanks very much for the info! Non-LED for me then.

I was going to pick up two of the T5442TM cameras and noticed the one with LEDs is the same price as the one without. Any reason I should NOT pick the one with LEDs over the non-LED version?

Perfect, thank you! 3.6mm looks like it'll be great. I'm locked in for BF.

Is there a calculator to determine the FOV fan width at a certain distance for 2.8mm vs 3.6mm focal lengths? I'm having analysis paralysis. Currently live in a townhouse and the width of my property is about 25 ft. and the street is basically 1.5 car lengths away. There's a brick stairwell...
