I routinely log in remotely to the NVR to playback videos. Videos are about 600MB per 10 min segment so dloading each segment takes a while. Instead i opt to scrub / seek thru the videos to areas of interest. You'd think with Smart PSS being on version 4.0 and modern sensibilities it would...

Thanks

Using Smart PSS on Windows. I jump into Playback, allow it to search for All Records for a cam, Main Stream. I then select the seekbar to get the video started then Pause then tap the Smart Search icon. It then wants me to define a region for it to detect Human, Motion, or Vehicle. When i...

I'm still not getting reliable results for Humans be it with Tripwire or Intrusion. I'm using the Web 5.0 interface directly within the camera not the EmpireTech NVR. I dont think i've seen anyone use Intrusion instead only ever using tripwire with these crazy zig zags. I presume tripwire is...

Very interesting and encouraging. So to be clear, you own the same gear as mine: NVR8CH-8P-2AI IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 ... and you were able to firmware update the NVR and the IPC without issue? Would appreciate your exact setup before flashing. Forum suggests: Factory reset 3 times, Apply...

Wow. Ok you've got me scared. No updating for me, ever. I appreciate your insight, wittaj. I think i just avoided a disaster.

Makes sense. Curious though for those who do experience a problem after updating. Couldn't rolling back to the older, original FW restore things, assuming EmpireTech has that older FW available? Or are we talking a house of cards for the underlying IPC / NVR services whenever firmware...

I own the following EmpireTech gear: B54IR-Z4E-S3 IPC-T54IR-AS-S3 IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 NVR8CH-8P-2AI The ones in bold contain older firmware. The EmpireTech website contains updates for each. It appears the recommended action is to NOT update the firmware unless it addresses an issue I'm...

Thanks for the info. So basically ignore the red circle if Live view is ok.

NVR: NVR8CH-8P-2AI - FW: V4.000.0000000.1.R, Build Date: 2023/04/27 IPC: 1x B54IR-Z4E-S3, 2x IPC-T54IR-AS-S3, 2x IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Under Camera > PoE there is a list of camera stating the Status (Green and Red circles), Rate (Mbps), and Power(W). For some time the list has properly shown all 5...

Your thread and reply have convinced me to go Varifocal. Thank you.

OMG, this whole camera world is killing me. Thanks for the link.

I have the NVR8CH-8P-2AI. Will update the firmware soon but in case the update breaks things is it possible to roll back to the original firmware being used which is: System Version: V4.000.0000000.1.R, Build Date: 2023/04/27 ??

I'm being instructed to purchase a Varifocal to test the distance of interest then to plug the cam's Web GUI zoom #s here to determine what fixed lens i require. How accurate is the Focal Length Calculator in determining the right lens? If i were to settle on a fixed lens IPC it would likely...

Much appreciated, @bigredfish. I'll educate myself more. I'm considering the varifocal Dahua IPC-HDW5442T-ZE-S3 (F1.8) vs fixed Dahua IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE-S3 (F1.6) but still debating what lens and whether I need the flexibility of varifocal.
