I actually found my DB10 a few weeks ago and set it up on DMSS and it works perfectly. Live and playback of existing recordings works fine.

DB10 works with DMSS as well once it's on the newest firmware version (which is a few years old now) Overall it's a very average device. I would certainly never put one into a production environment.

2431 models don't have WizSense / SMD so don't do AI based people/vehicle detection. They only do regular MD / IVS

I've just been reading through a few threads on here and thought this was the most appropriate to add a question to. I've just installed 3 new IPC-E3541F cameras with SMD at a site and added these to DMSS on Android. These are not connected to a NVR and have memory cards in them. I have SMD...

Does anybody know if there are any newer versions of firmware for this camera than the version on their website from the end of 2018? I'm just wondering if they have anything newer that moves away from the ActiveX plugin and also offers RTMP support for direct streaming from the camera.

That doesn't actually contain a link to the download. Does anybody know whether DSS Express is intended to replace Smart PSS?

This is exactly what the camera will do if there is insufficient power being delivered to it. What sort of switch is it?

I played with this new firmware and the AI features at a Dahua presentation last month. It's a huge improvement!

Has anybody played with the RTMP support included in some new camera firmware?

That's not really answering the question. Nobody can really help you without knowing what your goal is. The consequences of installing that firmware are listed above.

The answer to that really depends on what you're trying to do. If you want a Chinese firmware camera the answer is yes. If you don't the answer is no.

Most cameras from Chinese sources such as Aliexpress are Chinese domestic hardware with hacked firmware to make the cameras seem like they're English. YMMV varies being any product like this, and particularly with newer product you will have no way of upgrading the software. You will also face...

Assuming you're connecting your cameras back to a Dahua NVR there is no need to configure the NTP settings or time/date in the cameras themselves. They will get all of this from the NVR. I've played with a large number of Dahua cameras both English/OEM and Chinese over the years and have...

It seems the TFTP method won't work on some new firmware Chinese cameras to downgrade them. Does anybody have any tips or tricks? I just get the failed message appear.
