    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...

    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?

    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?

    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...

    If you properly lock down you nvr/computer - how do you get notifications?

    Hi all, Getting ready to take the plunge using Dahua and am trying to figure out as much as I can beforehand so I don't have any surprises (or at least fewer surprises). As I understand from reading here, it is best practice to: 1. have your cameras on a different subnet than the rest of your...

    Thinking about HDW5442TM-AS - looking focal length suggestions - pictures inside

    Hi, I am looking at finally pulling the trigger on a NVR5216-16P-4KS2E and 3 (to start) HDW5442TM-AS cameras. I am thinking of positioning the cameras where the red circles are in the pictures. Blue circle would be a potential future camera and would be facing the front door. I am, of...

    Viewing and notifications for Dahua cameras on ipad?

    Hi, How is everyone viewing their dahua cameras (with Dahua nvr) on their ipad/iphone? I see there is the iDMSS suite of apps, but they have pretty terrible reviews - not sure if the app is really that bad or if it just maybe isn't as user friendly as people expect. Also interested in if...

    Use cases for AI NVRs in a home setting?

    Hey all, Most likely going to pull the trigger on a Dahua NVR and a number of cameras come spring (too cold to install right now). I am looking at the AI Lite series (NVR4216-16P-I). While the real time facial recognition sounds neat, I'm really not sure that there would be much value in my...

    What about managed switches for vlan?

    HI, I see a lot of talk/suggestions here about setting a vlan up via the router. Would using a managed switch work as well? Doing something like suggested here: https://learncctv.com/the-use-of-vlans-in-cctv/ Part of the reason using a switch is attractive to me is: 1. My cable modem's...

    Is H.265 realistically possible?

    Hi, Trying to figure out Blue Iris or Dahua 52xx nvr. I understand many think Blue Iris is the way to go - I’ve read comments like “get a nvr first so you will really appreciate Blue Iris when you switch”, etc. Fair enough. But what I haven’t seen discussed (I’m sure it has been) is h.265 -...

    Was thinking Lorex, now maybe not... Questions inside

    Hi, First post. Not quite sure if the is the appropriate sub-forum for this post - surprised there is not a 'General' sub-forum, but, I digress..... I have been looking at video surveillance for my home on and off over the past 1.5 years or so. I've almost always been looking at the Lorex...
