    Dahua IVS/Abandoned item

    We are experimenting with the IVS function and using SmartPSS 2.01 When we run abandoned item, we can pull the video associated with it, but we are not seeing WHO left the item. This seems to a pre-record issue. We changed this on the NVR directly to 30 seconds but no help. Any other suggestions?

    Remote Access to Camera/NVR web GUI

    How can we setup a system so that we can log into a camera/nvr/radio from off site? Currently client uses a server for recording and something like log me in to access the device and everything on the network. We are proposing NVRs which will remove that capability. How do we bring that...

    Dahua PC NVR

    I want to be able to take demo footage using my laptop. Plan is to connect camera to injector, then to laptop, no switch. Will Dahua PC NVR work for this? Not worried about storage, only need a couple minutes of footage so client can see IP camera versus analog or HD.

    Dahua CVI line across screen and IR glare?

    I know this is an IP forum but can we post about CVI here? Just installed 3 1080P CVI varifocal domes. All 3 have the line issue shown in the video. This one has the whiteout that looks like IR glare. The focus is the gazebo, so I could probably zoom in some, not sure if that will fix it. Any...

    Linksys Router to Comcast Modem

    With my former company, we used to put a Linksys WRT54GL router in place. We would use it to separate the camera network from the clients network. It also allowed us to assign an IP address to the router and we addressed everything the same on the camera side from site to site. For example the...

    dynDNS and Dahua NVR

    I was looking at some Dahua devices already installed and I know they are on dynDNS. But I did not see the dynNS domain in the settings. I will be back out there in a few days and want to change the dynDNS to a new name. What am I missing?

    JVSG design software? other alternatives?

    Anyone using this? I gave the demo a whirl today and so far so good except the system keeps giving me errors, and something happened with the camera database. I added a custom manufacturer (our own brand) and it associated that brand with other brands... So maybe not so good so far. I do like...

    Ethernet over power lines

    got a situation in a house where I need to install multiple cameras and can not hardwire. Is ethernet over electrical a realistic option? I saw something about being on different legs but that doesnt matter to me. My switch and NVR will be next to the panel so I can pull a circuit from each...

    Dahua NVR and Smart PSS customization

    Does anyone know how to customize Smart PSS so you can put a logo in it? How about the NVR, we are wanting to put a logo into empty spots on the NVR? If we are in a 4x4 view and the customer only has 14 cameras, we want to put a logo into the 2 empty spots. Our vendor can do this but they...

Currently we use these compression style fittings that we put a boot on the wire first, strip...

    Controlling Ptz over the internet

    We use Dahua and smart pss almost exclusively. We are considering installing multiple Ptz for a community that will have guards live viewing. But the guards will be several blocks over and wireless is not an option due to line of sight, bandwidth etc. So they will be controlling the Ptz over...
