This really does need sorting out and quickly. I don't think it's asking much that so-called 'updated' firmware works as it should rather than creating more issues than it resolves - minor bugs are to be expected but judging from the helpful feedback from @tigerwillow1 and others, the bugs...

Thanks also to @tigerwillow1 for such a detailed post. I was also contemplating updating, but like @looney2ns mentioned, it just seems too risky right now, so I'm going to leave it for now and stick with V3 as at least it works and I'm using V3.216.0000004.0 Build Date: 2018-12-29

Many thanks @aabs

I know this is an old thread but still a very useful one and a great viewpoint presented by @catcamstar of the difference between an alarm system and Video surveilance system - it's certainly helped me understand their respective roles.

I'm confused about whether my NVR is running the latest firmware. According to 'UPGRADE' via Web Service it states: System Version: V3.216.0000004.0 Build Date: 2018-12-29 'It is the latest version' But when I checked here: https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/19851?us It's...

Just to complete the circle should others have a similar issue. In my NVR UI in TCP/IP there is a check button for DHCP (which I'd correctly checked from day one). However there is a further DHCP check button in the IP address 'Edit' area under Mode whch I wasn't aware of, and that was set to...

Thanks to all for assistance, I have eventually got gDMSS to work via 4G i.e. outside of my LAN. 3 weeks of effort and finally sorted!

Great, : enable checked, Status: online

@aabs I agree! I'll go back the absolute basics to clarify my set up and the issue so hopefully this will shed some light on where I'm going wrong in the set up to view live footage via gDMSS: Simple Home set-up - cams connected directly to NVR and all work fine. NVR/Cam Web-interfaces (via...

Thanks for your patience and help @Securame , I do appreciate it. I think I'm starting to understand things better...... "If you are connecting by IP, of course you can only connect from inside the network " - I didn't know that, I had no idea at all that this is how things worked, sorry. So...

Just a second...I've reread you previous comment (several times). What do you mean by "different P2P servers"? I haven't set up any P2P server as I didnt know this was needed. Please remember I'm not a techie and very inexperienced in this area.

The only way I can view live stream using the app is to add device (the NVR) using add [via] IP/Domain. If I try adding the NVR using SN/Scan, then scan the QR code, add device name [NVR] then user name [admin], then password etc, it fails to connect. But this method of adding device only allows...

Thanks for your reply. P2P is enabled on the NVR

As far as I know the NVR is running official Dahua firmware - I haven't changed it from when purchased from @EMPIRETECANDY (who was great) - I wouldn't know how to do this as I'm not tech-savvy enough in this area. I'll be honest, I don't have a clue what DMSS setting should be used and how and...
