I just finished the update and there are some significant improvements with the UI. I can now use my Brave browser and everything renders beautifully. The PTZ menu is a fraction of the size it used to be, which was a suggestion I made to Andy a while ago. I'm very happy with the improvements...

I have seven new 5442 S3s installed around my house. I have them at varying heights depending on location. Something I've learned over the last month or so since installing them is that I'm definitely more about detection vs identification. Fact is, criminals are going to masked anyway so I...

Anyone know if there's a way? I enabled the Firewall in the NVR to only allow my home PC's MAC address to access it, and it won't let me in :( I have proof the MAC address is correct, but c'est la vie

I don't want to repeat a bunch of stuff that's already posted on the Wiki, so I'll try to keep it to lessons I learned specific to my experience in the hope of helping others. 1. For soffit installation, I highly recommend using the 1/16" aluminum sheets off Amazon (link below); they're plenty...

When I bought into the EmpireTech/Dahua NVR and camera system, I knew I would have to isolate the devices and I'd be protected from security threat. However, I didn't realize that I would need the NVR's web plugin running on my PC's browser. I can't isolate my main PC and I don't want to buy a...

I want to install my turret cam using the wall mount but the notch is on the wrong side for running the cable up my downspout. I’d have to run it around the mount. Has anyone drilled a new notch on a mount before?

So, I have the EmpireTech 8-port PoE AI NVR. If I were to get a Blue Iris PC with dual NICs, could I connect one NIC to the NVR uplink and the other to my network and have both the NVR recording video and Blue Iris as well?

I have five of these cameras I want to be soffit-mounted because then I don't have to drill into the brick wall, this installation makes the camera more inconspicuous, and it seems like it'll protect better from the elements. My plan is to try this method using aluminum sheeting so I don't have...

Hi Y'all, I have seven T54IR-ZE-S3s I'm going to install around the perimeter of the house: five under eaves/soffits and two on walls. For the two locations on walls, they're right next to gutter downspouts. My house is brick veneer so I could either drill into the brick and attach the...

I have an EmpireTech NVR on my main LAN, which is where my iPhone has WiFi as well. I've blocked the NVR's Internet access. I'm trying to add the NVR to the DMSS mobile app. I scan the NVR's QR code, select "wired" initialization, enter the name of the NVR and password, and I get a Connection...

I've ordered 5 EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 cameras for strategic placement 8-10 ft off the ground. I'd like to have a 6th camera under the eave (attached to soffit) of my second story (18-20ft high) facing out to my backyard for broad surveillance. Not looking to identify, just simply detect...

I know the gold standard is VPNing into NVR. But if the cameras and NVR are on a separate VLAN and only the NVR has trusted LAN and Internet access (not the cameras), what’s the real risk of only allowing P2P so DMSS mobile app can be used more conveniently from the Internet?

I'm a total noob but have been reading a lot on Reddit and here about how best to do this. I ordered Reolink cams and NVR but I will now be returning them :). Looking to deck out my property with a variation of these cameras (2.8 and 3.6 depending on use case / FOV needed)...
