I have been reading through this whole interesting thread and was also thinking about posting a link to the Camect hub/nvr as I heard it was the best out there for AI detection and especially with animals even detecting the types of animals. I was surprised that @tigerwillow1 didn’t comment on...

Same situation for me. Would be nice if they would add this feature to the new dmss app.

How do you get push notifications setup on this new app? It is totally different then the iDMSS app. On iDMSS app it was in messages tab at top left with a bell and a plus icon on it. This icon does not exist in DMSS. However I did find it by going to the device details of the nvr and then...

Ah so that makes sense. I knew how to get to this but it does nothing in iDMSS. Man Dahua sure makes some crap software! This is app has more bugs then any other app I have used. You have to wonder if they even beta test apps before releasing them. There are other serious bugs in this...

Ok so where do you do it then? I have iDMSS plus installed. Let me know. Thanks!

Does anyone know if you can change the zoom amount using SmartPSS with this cam? This cameras has a 2.7mm to 12mm zoom range when doing an installation and I know I could adjust it directly from the NVR interface but not sure if you can do it in SmartPSS 2.0 or at least if you can I have not...

@EMPIRETECANDY (You know me as Jay on skype) you can also add me to the list as all my NVR's and my customers NVR's and Cam's stopped sending out email alerts that I had setup using gmail. Only one is still working and that one is because I am not using gmail's smtp servers but my ISP's email...

Since it is quite evident that no one at Dahua cares to fix this rediculous bug, I just have in up using idmss for push notification alerts with recorded video. It is really useless for this feature. While it may be true that nest, ring, arlo, etc. and all the other DIY/Consumer streaming...

My comment was more referring to the original problem which I posted about starting this thread. To my knowledge it still has not been fixed. That would be a bug not a feature. Although that latest issue could be a feature I am not really sure. If anyone has push notifications working...

Amazing quality control Dahua! You really have to wonder if they actually have any beta testers for there software!

Not surprised at all. I am not even using it anymore for notifications. I gave up. I just use gmail for push notification alerts now. Was not impressed with Dahua at all with regards to this. Once it works I would switch back but not wasting anymore time with it.

I currently have a Synology NAS with an intel processor running the latest DSM. I would like to use my NAS as the openvpn server to access my cameras since it is always on. My local network is 192.168.0.x subnet. Is anyone else using their Synology NAS for this and if so was it easy to setup...

Also interested to know about this as well as I want to switch to VPN from using P2P soon and don’t want to miss out on push notifications.

I noticed a new update for iDMSS for iOS the other day. Looking at the "What's New" I am not really understanding much of what any of this new stuff does or how it works? Anyone with a bit more experience with Dahua and iDMSS can maybe translate this for us that are less experienced? :-)...

Also interested to know about this.

Interested to hear about your VPN experience when you have time..

Just a follow up to my original post about this issue, as Dahua did update the iDMSS app version (latest I am running is iDMSS Plus v3.50.000 dated Sept 25, 2017) a few weeks go and I was hoping that the latest version fixed this problem but it didn't. Still the same annoying issue. I am sure...

@Hirize i think this may be your problem... Did you happen to install the 64bit version of Pale Moon? IIRC it didn't work for me on that version but once uninstalled and then downloaded and installed the 32bit version the plugin worked fine and I could see the live views of the cams.

Today I received an email from CEPro about this device.. See link below... preview Until today I had never heard of this device. It appears to have won best security solution at CEDIA 2017 last month. I checked and I see it on Amazon and it has 614 mostly 5 star reviews. Clearly it is a...

@TechBill . Close but not quite. I will explain in more detail below. Also have Included screenshots as well. Right now now Alarm Manager last shows an event on 9/16/17 and today is 9/18/17 two days later. Yet I have had IVS triggers since that time. Even today. It doesn't matter if the...

The camera has to support auto tracking or it is not happening.

@TechBill can you check this in your end? I know you had the idmss push notification failed to subscribe issue before on your 5 series NVR that is now fixed. I am getting this issue with a 2 different 4 series nvr and just want to see if anyone is getting having the same issue.

Yes. The cheap cams are around $50 and the fixed starlights are around $120 so you can do the math. I only own the Starlights cams so can't comment on how much of a difference there is but I am sure there are some here that have both and can chime in. I will probably order some of the cheapies...

It is not 3x. It is just over double. But night time is for sure better. Also it is not a Chinese hacked firmware which has some advantages also.

Seems like there is a newer v2 model of this cheap Dahua cam for about $5 more. Has anyone experience with the newer one? From a quick look at the specs I noticed it mentions h.265 compression also. Don't think the older one had that? Do either have an sdcard slot inside? Didnt see it...

IMHO you are better off to find a buyer for the Hikvision NVR and get a Dahua NVR if you want to use these cams for anything other then 24/7 recording. You will have to set them up as ONVIF with the Hik NVR and then won't be able to use the IVS features.

Can you tell me the model of one of the $50 Dahua 4mp chinese models you are referring to. I use the Starlights myself but have some friends who are super cheap! :)

I have been using this app on my iPhone for a while now and could never figure out why the alarm manager didn't always show all of my IVS events. I finally figured out how and why this is happening. The only way the actual event will show in the alarm manager list is if I actually click on...

Thanks. I was kind of thinking the same thing, but am hoping that someone has actually tried this and got it working to save me potentially wasting my time if it is for sure not going to work. I did find another article that mentions it from a 3rd party and they specifically state "**Please...

I have a friend who purchased the above NVR and for now has a Dahua PTZ and Dahua Turret that were plug and play and work great. However he still has about 6 or so Hikvision domes that he would like to make use of until he can afford to switch over to all Dahua. My question is it possible to...
