    Generic 'Can't reach page' error when trying to log into camera

    Thank-you! Was trying on a windows 11 machine which no longer has IE. But was able to access on a windows 10 computer.

    Generic 'Can't reach page' error when trying to log into camera

    Hey all, I have 3 Dahua cameras connected to a dahua nvr (NVR5232-16p-4ks2e) - all of them are working fine and the feed can be viewed via web browser or via SmartPss. Have had things up and running for a number of years now. However, when I try to log into one of my cameras via the IE icon...

    Dahua - is there a proven security back door on these?

    What would be an indicator that a camera or nvr is 'phoning home'? I have my dahua poe nvr locked down in that I only have one port open (port required by for apple notifications) on which it can access the internet. I check my router 'connections' log file from time to time and the only...

    Getting phone notifications when openVPN is off?

    Have you actually disabled internet access (on your router) to your nvr? Either via a firewall rule or some routers will let you block internet access when viewing the device in question (nvr). If you have, then you must have set up a firewall rule to allow access on the port(s) the...

    iDMSS Plus - Notification bug?

    Hi, Is anyone else seeing this? If a push notification is triggered, that notification does not show up in notification list in iDMSS Plus unless: 1. The phone is on and the app happens to be open at the time the notification is triggered, or 2. You click the notification banner. At which...

    Any way to set a 'trigger' delay after a first Trip Wire event has been triggered?

    Hi, I have a simple A<->B ivs trip wire rule at my front walkway. It works great, but is 'triggering' more events than I would like. For example, if 4 people walk up to my front door in a row, 4 basically identical events (and thus push notifications) are triggered. Similarly, if a package...

    Anyone using an Asus router, blocking nvr/BI internet access and receiving apple push notifications? If so, how are you doing this?

    Thanks. That is what I thought. I have looked through that list a few times since I've set the nvr up (about a month now) and never have I seen my nvr's ip address in the list. I do have 'block internet access' set, but would have thought if it was making an attempt it would still show in the...

    Anyone using an Asus router, blocking nvr/BI internet access and receiving apple push notifications? If so, how are you doing this?

    Also, can you tell where you were viewing the logs (and specially which log) that showed the nvr calling home? Was it the Connections tab in the System Logs section?

    Anyone using an Asus router, blocking nvr/BI internet access and receiving apple push notifications? If so, how are you doing this?

    Awesome, thanks. I will give this a try when I get home. Curious, did you block the nvr internet access just via the blacklist or did you also 'Block Internet Access' when viewing the NVR in the client list on the router, as per below?

    Anyone using an Asus router, blocking nvr/BI internet access and receiving apple push notifications? If so, how are you doing this?

    I still have not figured it out. Granted, I sort of took a break from trying after my post above. Are you sure? If I am on my home network (no vpn installed) I do not get notifications. If the nvr cannot access the internet, how can it send the push notifications? As I understand it, push...

    Dahua NVR suggestions.

    premature post above. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/anyone-using-an-asus-router-blocking-nvr-bi-internet-access-and-receiving-apple-push-notifications-if-so-how-are-you-doing-this.47581/ I get that locking things down as much as possible is a good idea. But not sure I understand the need to...

    Dahua NVR suggestions.

    I am at this point now. Have my PoE dahua nvr and cameras setup. The nvr puts the cameras on a subnet separate from my home network. Great! On my router, I have blocked nvr from being able to access the internet. Of course now I cannot get push notifications and am not having much luck...

    Anyone using an Asus router, blocking nvr/BI internet access and receiving apple push notifications? If so, how are you doing this?

    Hi all, Got my Dahua PoE NVR and 3 cameras set up over the weekend. I am using an Asus RT-AC68U router and have it preventing my nvr from accessing the internet. When the nvr is not blocked, I get push notifications (trip wire) to iDMSS Plus on my iphone. When nvr is blocked, as expected, I...

    Smart PSS - how set playback speed faster than 1x?

    Maybe at some point. For now I'm sticking with the nvr I just purchased.

    Smart PSS - how set playback speed faster than 1x?

    Thx. I was not seeing the slider. Closed and reopened Smart PSS and now it is there. However, while it seems to work for 1-8x, sliding down to any slow motion setting causes the playback to stop completely. The only way playback will start again is by selecting stop and then playing again...

    Smart PSS - how set playback speed faster than 1x?

    Hi all, I finally got my Andy cams installed this past weekend. So far, the cameras are working as expected. I am using Smart PSS to live view and for Playback. How does one playback faster than 1x? I would have assumed that clicking the '1x' on the player controls would be the way to...

    Hard Drive setup for NVR

    Hmmm. Interesting point. As long as it is only sleeping and waking up infrequently - I assume that the one drive sleeps until the first one is full and the drives are not 'randomly' being written to.

    Hard Drive setup for NVR

    And what is the empty drive bay doing in a single drive setup? Maybe I am reading your point 2 incorrectly, but it sounds like you are saying an advantage to having 2 drives (over a single drive) is that you can put the second drive to sleep. While I see that as beneficial, I do not see how...

    Hard Drive setup for NVR

    In and of itself, how is this an advantage over a single drive? Whether you have one drive or 2, you are always going to have a drive that is constantly being written to (assuming 24/7 recording).

    Hard Drive setup for NVR

    I can't see there being any noise or performance differences 1 vs. 2 drives, as I suspect the nvr is only writing to one drive at a time. I'd go with the biggest single drive you can afford and then add another at a later date if necessary.

    Why not install the iDMSS app on your phone and let that handle the notifications? https://dahuawiki.com/Mobile/iDMSS_Push_Notifications

    Number of Days Available in Playback?

    I suspect OPs query about only 9 days worth of recordings is more around this point: System is set to overwrite and there is over 3TB available on a 4TB HDD

    IPC-HFW1831E bitrate higher than setting allows

    I assume you only have the one camera turned on for live streaming? I have mine set to VBR, but I just tried setting one to CBR 4096 - bandwidth stays right around that. What does your bandwidth show for the camera in SmartPSS?

    Dahua streaming settings

    Sub Stream 1 vs. Main stream. I'm new to all this, but I believe, generally speaking, the main stream will be a higher bit rate than the sub stream and will be the 'full resolution' resolution of the camera (depending on your video settings) - this is what gets recorded to the NVR and will be...

    ***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

    I lied. As the name suggests, that just changes what displays on the stream overlay. Does not change the camera name.

    ***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

    I found where to change the camera name on the camera itself. It is kind of buried.

    ***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

    I am on 4.000. Interesting, I wonder if that is the difference. Regardless, I found you can make the name change in SmartPss.
