The Static ip can set up via dahua NVR only, there is no other way.
After setup, the app is only needed for 2-way voice communication. Everything else can be done in other ways.
I've left it installed for that reason, but I have all the camera streams going through Frigate and notifications from Home Assistant.
If you have no use for 2-way voice, then you don't need the app. Though an argument could be made that without 2-way voice there are other, better, cameras instead of a doorbell one.
yea, was on their site for a while last night.
Is there a black offering as well or just the white? I see the OP one is black. Thanks
The white one can get now with cheaper price, black only dahua brand can sell, so that is why they sell high price.Is there a black offering as well or just the white? I see the OP one is black. Thanks
I use it, I like it a lot. I do not use it as a 24/7 NVR, I leave that to my amcrest nvr. Not because it could not be used as such but harder with how I have it installed. I use it for smart detections inside home assistant. If you want one do-it all app you will not get that with Frigate at this time. You will need to link it to another app such as home assistant if you want notifications and alerts. Where it shines though is that it can be run on less HW than blue Iris, once you have a google coral. It doesn't require Windows, this is the biggest win in my book. Other than that it is under heavy development because of the traction it has gotten in the home assistant world. It is very good at identifying people, and cars. Dogs, and cats can get confused. It's highly customizable and blake is working on other detection models for things like UPS right now. I have it tied into doubletake for facial rec and that works well, I wouldn't trust double-take for security but it is fun to have custom messages played over my google homes when it is family or the delivery guy. I also have it linked to plate-minder for LPR.just heard about Frigate from another forum? What can you tell me about it? How well does it work, etc.
better / differnet than blue iris?
@looney2ns could you help check this?I just installed this doorbell cam yesterday. The only issue I’m having is that I can’t playback any of the motion detection alert videos. I can see the thumbnail of it in the DMSS app but if I try to play the video, I get the “Connection Failed” error.
Interestingly, if I manually record a video or take a snapshot from the Live View mode, I can playback those videos and view those images with no problems.
Is this some sort of issue/glitch with the DMSS app itself or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to help.
Did you add the camera to DMSS as a P2P setup?I just installed this doorbell cam yesterday. The only issue I’m having is that I can’t playback any of the motion detection alert videos. I can see the thumbnail of it in the DMSS app but if I try to play the video, I get the “Connection Failed” error.

I figured out the issue today!Did you add the camera to DMSS as a P2P setup?
That's the only way everything will work correctly with this cam.
It won't work setup as "Local".
There has some guys ask about the SD card exception, please make sure the SD card use the FAT32 format, this can fix up this issue.

make sure you are using the main stream to watch the video. Substream sometimes poor pics.Your night time videos look alot better than those from my DB6I cam. My video are extremely grainy and are almost useless. Would you post your settings Smart PSS Camera setting for both DAY and NIGHT for comparison? Thx in advance
Here are snaps of the various settings along with a short video and snapshotmake sure you are using the main stream to watch the video. Substream sometimes poor pics.
