Yes, I just startes playing with it, but so far I did not get notified like I did with motion detection.but the IVS tripwire is working for you on the camera now, correct?
if so , open the suppoort case with synology as a starter.

When I still used my Synology, I had the cameras set to directly email when Tripwire happened.Yes, I just startes playing with it, but so far I did not get notified like I did with motion detection.
I wanted to start trying this script that you mentioned.I have exactly the same setup as you. Check out the last page of this thread: Trigger blue iris with IVS?. You might be able to get the script running on your Synology, but I use a RPi so Synology updates don’t mess up my custom scripts and configurations.
I have smart codec shut off and IVS works on the camera. But... still, nothing is triggered on the Synology side (when I used MD, I instantly got an alert through the DSCam App).@Sammy0815 ,
I have a synology to and while it's not my main thing, I do have some testing setup with it. I thought IVS should work with it, even with generic dahua ONVIF.
do you have the smart codec shut off ? (at the camera for starters) or do you have IVS working on the camera just not seeing the proper stuff on the syno side ?
That is acutally not a bad idea. Why would I need a micro SD card for that?Do you have a micro SD card installed and recording as well? You can set IVS tripwire in the camera settings itself and get notifications that way. Your NAS can still be recording.
I have opened a support case with Synology on this subject as well, I really thought IVS events was supported when i bought the cameras. It makes the Synology more or less useless for surveillance without this.Has everyone opened support cases on the IVS events not being natively picked up, especially for timeline ? I am thinking if there is a ground swell of cases maybe they (synology) will look at fixing it.

Yes, that is the correct script. It does require some basic experience with Linux and Python to get started. I put some comments in the code as well since I published it as a quick hack rather than aiming for it to be well documented. Please contribute if you feel up to it!I wanted to start trying this script that you mentioned.
What I read in the description though is "This version was built to instead trigger Synology Surveillance Station to start a External Event recording when a configured IVS event is received. "
Is that the right one?

You have to remember the only safe way to get IVS working with either Dahua or Hikvision is to get a NVR from the same supplier. And even then you’ll run into problems as seen in numerous threads, because the NVR still requires you to configure some things directly on the camera. Not always clear what those things are, though. I don’t think Blue Iris supports IVS events either.I have opened a support case with Synology on this subject as well, I really thought IVS events was supported when i bought the cameras.

I wouldn’t hold my breath either ;-) but it would be pretty nice if Synology added IVS Support. From the script you provided, and according to the HTTP API, it does not seem to be such a big deal to implement in Surveillance Station, it is just a couple of messages SS should look for, apart from VideoMotion:.You have to remember the only safe way to get IVS working with either Dahua or Hikvision is to get a NVR from the same supplier.

I’d be really happy if you get Synology to add IVS support but I wouldn’t hold my breath, since it seems to be specific for Dahua and Hikvision. All in all, as long as you don’t have to get the expensive camera licenses, I think Surevillance Station offers great value for money.
FWIW, I'd consider Blue Iris to be another safe way of getting Dahua IVS/Hikvision Smart Events working too.You have to remember the only safe way to get IVS working with either Dahua or Hikvision is to get a NVR from the same supplier.
You’re absolutely right. It would indeed be pretty easy for Synology to add rudimentary IVS event notification support. I guess a problem for Synology is that they would have to tell users that if they configure IVS events at the camera itself (which requires reading here or watching YouTube), then they can have event notification support in Surveillance Station.

But thank you for the script, i will give it a try later.
Sounds like a working workaround, good!I am just thinking and trying out another option:
I downloaded the gDMSS Plus app and connected my Dahuas to it.
Then I create notifications for tripwire and it seems that it works fine.
So now, whenever I get a push from that Dahua App, I open my Syno DSCam App on my Phone and can look at the recording.
Yes, the event doesnt show at the Syno NAS, but I have a pretty good time stamp on what to look for.
What do you think about that?
Here is the reply from Synology support, it's sort of good news, but the time frame is still unknown.You’re absolutely right. It would indeed be pretty easy for Synology to add rudimentary IVS event notification support.

Can you copy the ticket you opened with them and I can open one as well? Also post on community.synology.com to encourage even more users!
this is my experience as well which is why i went with blue iris on a dedicated pc, like most on hereAlso don’t expect to get IVS working through Surveillance Station. If you do, I’d be very happy to hear how you did it. Surveillance Station only supports Motion Detection events, as far as I know.
