    Push notifications for MD

    I am not sure but try this... on the app turn off alerts for SMD as your camera doesn't support this. On the camera's setting itself though your browser, under Video Detection --> Motion Detection, motion detection must be enabled - it wont record on MD if this isn't enabled I would recommend...

    DMSS iOS Application - V1.99.620 - Intrusion Alarm Push Notifications

    Well my Chinese isn't very good :lmao:, but not sure what makes you think this is a fake company. Dahua used to develop their mobile app software themselves. Now they outsource their app development to this software company, for whatever their reason is, but I am not going to try speculate why...

    DMSS iOS Application - V1.99.620 - Intrusion Alarm Push Notifications

    I have only recently set up IVS on some of my cameras, for the most part I have always just used SMD. My push notification on my iPhone for IVS alerts are as follows: DMSS NVR Name Camera Name Intrusion Alarm-Human Date Time The actual IVS name on that camera does not show on the push...

    Push notifications for MD

    I see you have SMD alerts turned on, SMD (2), so any human and vehicle moving in the camera's field of view will send you an SMD alert. If you only want IVS alerts you will need to turn SMD alerts off on your DMSS app, you can leave SMD turned on on your cameras setting though.

    Need help with IVS target min/max size

    I am setting up IVS on a 5442 bullet and I see Max size is 8191 * 8191 and Min size is 0 * 0. Do I leave max size at 8191 * 8191 ? Also sensitivity, what do you leave it at - default is 5?

    DMSS iOS Application - V1.99.620 - Intrusion Alarm Push Notifications

    Not entirely accurate, Dahua is professional class security surveillance equipment like HikVision, Axis, Avigilon etc. Although Dahua and HikVision have some consumer lines of products, they cannot be compared to Reolink or Ring, as Reolink and Ring are consumer / DIY grade products and do not...

    DMSS iOS Application - V1.99.620 - Intrusion Alarm Push Notifications

    I had a similar issue with my push notifications on the DMSS app. DMSS Issues After a lot of frustration in trying to solve the issue, the technical department of my camera supplier contacted Dahua technical support who then reached out to me directly. If you register an account and sign-in to...

    Push notifications for MD

    Yes, you can record on MD, but on the DMSS app only activate notifications for IVS Tripwire and IVS Intrusion. You will record on MD but only receive push alerts for the IVS events.

    Apple MacBook Dahua Questions

    My cameras are running firmware version V2.840.0000000.18.R, Build Date: 2022-06-29 and web version V3.2.1.1261216. All exterior cameras are IPC-HFW5442E-ZE. I think they are S2 not S3 versions as they are already a few months old. I login to the camera's web interface through the browser to...

    5442 impossible to correct color balance

    I am also having a blue-ish color issue with one of my 5442s during certain times of the, I think it is a field of view issue. Backlight compensation is needed due to all the shadows, so I was running WDR at 20% but changed it to 45% and WB set from auto to outdoor, this seemed to fix the color...

    Dahua Cameras True WDR (120db) vs DWDR

    Those who are familiar with Dahua's WDR settings will know that the higher end cameras equipped with True WDR (120db and up) are only True WDR when set from 45% and upwards. With WDR on and set to anything below 45% it uses only DWDR - that being software based by only adjusting the gamma and...

    DMSS Issues

    Just to give an update on this... with the assistance from Dahua's technical team who advised me, it's a simple fix. One needs to register on the DMSS app and sign in. If you use the DMSS app without having signed in it doesn't pull all the information through from the NVR. Signing in gives you...

    DMSS Issues

    I have just replaced my XVR with an NVR and have setup all my IP cams to send alerts on SMD human motion detection. I am now having issues with my push notifications on iPhone. On my previous system it worked perfectly: SmartMotion Human, Camera Name Now with the new system the push...

    Strange noise / pixelation at bottom of camera image

    So looks like changing from 265h at max bit rate the cam can handle (5632kbs) to 264h at max bit rate the cam can handle (8192kbs) has solved this. Strange... 265h is meant to be better both for streaming and recording compared to 264h. Also what's strange, this camera's encoding has always...

    Strange noise / pixelation at bottom of camera image

    This seems to have worked, but it is 18:20pm now and already dark, so will need to check in the morning when the image is clear of the normal additional noise due to the night conditions.

    Strange noise / pixelation at bottom of camera image

    I don't think it is the image position. It is a PTZ, no matter how I zoom or pan the noise remains in the same place.

    Strange noise / pixelation at bottom of camera image

    I can try this, but that means I am going to lose all my presets, I have over 40 setup :facepalm: So no way damaged network cable would cause this?

    Strange noise / pixelation at bottom of camera image

    That setting is not on the NVR nor on the camera's settings.

    Strange noise / pixelation at bottom of camera image

    I changed the POE+ injector for a new one. So it is not a PSU issue.

    Strange noise / pixelation at bottom of camera image

    The cable I run to the PTZ is a Ubiquiti TOUGHCable but there might be a kink on a bend or something like that which I can't rule out. Issue running a test cable though is... the PTZ is on a pole 3.5m (11.5 feet) high up :lol: so bit of a challenge, but might need to be done.

    Strange noise / pixelation at bottom of camera image

    I haven't changed the settings since the camera was setup, and it always gave me a great image. So do you rule out cable damage? And think it is more setting related?
