    Nanny Cams

    Hi All, My sister has an elderly person living in her house. There are a constant stream of people in and out -- visitors, caregivers, nurses, physical therapy types, etc.. Sis wants to set up a closed system with nanny cams in every room controlled from a central "command center". So ... we...

    SD49225XA-HNR/SD49425XB-HNR -vs- SD5A425XA-HNR & SD6CE445XA-HNR

    Picked up the 49225 and the 49425 and some other cams With IVS, my false alerts have almost gone to zero. My only slight disappointment is with the auto-tracking. It's inconsistent. Sometimes they will work absolutely perfect. Sometimes they lock onto a vertical 6x6 as a person walks...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    Got it. Right now, I'm trying all three cams under IVS. Looks like one cam is gonna have to be reset to start sensing people and cars .....

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    I don't doubt they would try. :-) I resurrected this copy of Windows 7 on a machine stored in the back room from 2014. The "about" item in Explorer claims: IE11 Version 11.0.9600.16428

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    The 49225 allowed me to login it to it once but I think I was too "rough" exiting and did not log out gracefully from the screens. From that point on, I could not get the Dahua login screen on that one cam. I've been real careful to logout of the other cams and so far I can still access D2 and...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    You had coached me on this before and it helped a lot. Pale Moon would get me into the SD49225 but as you've pointed out in other posts, I was not able to save my new settings for tracking time in seconds. That's why I had to access this one camera by plugging it into the switch. Then I could...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    Just found something that may be the culprit. When SMD is enabled, the same channel is enabled in "Alarm --> video detection --> motion detection". Turning off the enable on the channel in Alarm --> video detection turns off the enable for the same channel in SMD. Apparently, these two menus...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    Yes; been programming the NVR directly. I will try programming it thru Explorer 11. Note: I was accessing the cams thru Explorer and I think I must have exited non-gracefully because I can no longer pull up a Dahua login screen for the SD49225. To program it, this PTZ had to be plugged...

    high strangeness - NVR changing settings?

    Ok ..... got a NVR5216-16P-4KS2E. D1 = SD49225XA-HNR D2 = IPC-T5442T-ZE D3 = IPC-color 4K-X Set up D1 with a smart plan and IVS (intrusion (appear and cross)). Triggering D1 also records D3. Triggering performance is inconsistent. How do I turn up sensitivity? Now for the strangeness...

    Dahua NVR w/poe "Live view": How to turn off intrusion box lines?

    This did it. On my "Display" page, it's called "AI Rule". Thanks!

    Dahua NVR w/poe "Live view": How to turn off intrusion box lines?

    The monitor is attached to the HDMI port on the NVR. I does not look like a web interface.

    Dahua NVR w/poe "Live view": How to turn off intrusion box lines?

    Hope this isn't really dumb but: I've got dark blue intrusion box lines on my live camera display. I can't find any setting to make these lines disappear. What am I missing here?

    SD49225XA-HNR ..... Dahua sign in screen missing?

    Oh boy I've done it now. I logged into the DVR with Explorer 11 and everything seemed normal. I clicked on the Explorer icon for the 49225. A new tab opens and the status text leads me to believe that that page gets loaded. Except that the page is blank. I've got no place to enter user...

    Dahua nvr

    I did not want 24/7 recording so I turned off green recording. I turned on all other recording. The only one recording is the PTZ (cam #1). Cam 2 and 3 are not recording at all even tho they are set to motion record. ???

    Dahua nvr

    The DVR claimed all cameras and the NVR were the most recent versions. Thanks for the heads up -- I won't update the PTZ. I'll give the plugins a try .......
