    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    That is how mine is set up. The tree is a little different, but this is how I've been using it, exactly. For some reason though in SmartPSSLite with your advice of reaching to the far right to grab the slider, (rather than zooming out) the right hand slider doesn't stick to the right of the...

    Awesome, I'll practice that. BTW V1.003.0000002.4.R.230330 is working for me too... Huge thanks. Hopefully they acknowledge this bug.

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    Agreed. Is it a standardized timeout before it fails and allows a retry? I initially thought it was a series of pause/start button presses but perhaps just waiting on the stalled out file works the same. To clarify the NVR web UI issue of low frame rate and low performance on this particular...

    Thanks for your efforts. I found the same. I should have followed up sooner with more detail, but I can at least say we're replicating the same issue. There is an older thread on this forum with complaints of the same issues in SmartPSS (2017 i think?), he had the same experience where the video...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    I'm catching up on the responses here. Yes, P2P is enabled on the NVR for DMSS support on our mobile phones. I have not setup conventional port forwarding on the router for the NVr ports, though I have enabled and disabled uPnP on the NVR to see if that was part of the issue. Nothing has...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    Is "Lite" a recent thing? Purchasing the 5442 series cams, I expected nearly everything to be completely ironed out with the entire system. It sounded like all of this stuff is multiple years old, with the IPC-Color4K stuff being the newer equivalent in visible light cams.

    ---Minor Update--- Found the installation file for the OLD SmartPSS (non-lite), and it works 100%... I can only hope they roll out a patched version of SmartPSSLite. Exports are fast and painless, the app even remembers the last video format requested. DMSS - still works 100% - better than...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    Yes, it's been redownloaded and installed multiple times. The problem to export playback exists on the intel computer too, which is running essentially a clean install of windows and UltiMaker Cura as it's just used for my 3D Printer. (Razer Blade 15 2020). SmartPSS is by far the most reliable...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    Building a PC doesn't seem like a feasible option for me after spending $600 on this thing that doesn't work for me. I have an older Intel Core 7 Gen 10 laptop downstairs with an RTX2060 that I've retired as my 3D Printer computer. It now has SmartPSSLite installed and has the same export...

    Can BlueIris work in place of SmartPSS, using this NVR, or is this a suggestion to build a PC based NVR?

    This clip perfectly sums up my experience with this NVR and the provided software(s). Infuriatingly poor so far.

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    I'm doing exactly the same. The blue progress bar doesn't move. It will not proceed with the export. If I click on a bunch of stuff like pause, and start, occasionally it will glitch out and pop up a read fail icon. Then if I click the download button it will download. I did a screen a screen...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    Yes it's a brand new order from Andy. Straight out of the box other than adding the 8TB Skyhawk AI to it and running the cables. All runs are outdoor double jacketed CAT6 with gold plated connectors. I tested each cable run to gigabit rates before connecting them to the cameras. I'm using the...

    Your feed looks to be smoother than mine. Even Chrome shows the bitrate and has the functions - I have yet to see a difference in experience between Edge, Chrome or Pale Moon. Here's a ~30 second clip of loading up the interface in Edge. It'll give an idea of what it looks like loading up and...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    Is your viewable feed actually close to 30 fps though? Mine is set for 30, but through any browser it's much much lower, and there will be pausing and catching up. I see the timestamp on all of your feeds is within 1 second, it's normal for my browser to walk out a few seconds more than that...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    Either wifi or wired, it makes no difference at all. There is more than sufficient bandwidth over either, and the experience isn't changed one way or the other. SmartPSS is pulling main streams at 10000-14000 Kbps as I have them set. It's smooth. The web interface, regardless of browser is...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    I switched over to H264H x CBR @ 14K and loaded up 4 streams on the browser and 1 in PSSLite and the network flow came up to ~75 Mbps as it should have. Seems more like the browsers either aren't utilizing sufficient CPU and GPU power to decode these streams or there is another issue, but I...

    4 x T54IR Max bitrate from these is only ~11000 kbps encoded using H265. That's ~44 Mbit or ~6MB/sec, which is nothing.

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    It's showing that the link between the router and my laptop has sufficient flow to support the streams, therefor within that same LAN, it's at least that fast. As stated above, all cams are connected directly to the NVR, and the connection between the NVR and laptop is 1 gigabit, unless I'm on...

    NVR Model NVR8CH-8P-2AI - HW Ver: 1.0 System Ver: V4.005.0000000.2.R It should be the 384 Mbps model (200 Mbps AI). I'm using H265 on all channels with the embedded POE switch. I don't see the page on the NVR that shows bandwidth, but it DOES have a gigabit NIC, so it should be much more than...

    Current connection to internet Current traffic from NVR to laptop 4x 2K streams via SmartPSS Lite ~32Mbit Current traffic from NVR to laptop 4x 2K streams via Chrome web interface ~32Mbit The issue seems to be software if ~32 Mbps is an expected stream rate for a 4 channel system? CPU...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    I'm 450-650 Mbps via wifi between the NVR and laptop, or 1 Gbps via ethernet. PSSLite streams fine on the same computer with the same connection. Ethernet card is 2.5 Gbe gaming model which exceeds the capabilities of my home network and the WiFi card is an Intel 6E AX210 which is essentially...

    So... Pale Moon also runs like trash. I've even ensured the browser is being forced to use the dedicated GPU. Very choppy, slow to respond and hangs. Is this typical? Loading up the interface and clicking on "Live" does nothing, it's just a black screen. Clicking "Fast Live" will populate the 4...

    NVR16CH-16P-2AI Questions

    Hey guys, I'm very new here but recently purchased the 8-CH model of this NVR along with 4x T54IR-ZE (5442-ZE) cams from Andy. There is still a lot to learn in how to make this system work the way I want it to, and it honestly hasn't been an intuitive experience, nor is it problem free. I'm...

    Thanks for the info. I didn't realize the 1/1.2 sensors do not see IR. I have done a lot of reading on the topic and think I'll be moving ahead with the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 cams. Now to determine what NVR to use, or build.

    Hoping to find some information here to guide me in the right direction for security cam and nvr upgrades for my phone. I've been using a Night Owl PVR system for since around 2016 and it's due for replacement. If any recommendations, please let me know. I'm not opposed to dedicating an old...
