    User-friendly NVR and remote viewing?

    I'm still running the same setup (Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 and several IPC-HDW5442T-ZE) I am considering Ubiquiti's platform as they finally opened it up to ONVIF support. UniFi Camera Security - Ubiquiti It's something to consider as more features are added. The lack of internet may still be workable...

    DMSS mobile app thumbnail images - supported?

    @EMPIRETECANDY Nobody has found a way to have the desired event thumbnails (or snapshots) appear in the DMSS app. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Are Dahua NVR event 'thumbnail images' visible on any mobile apps?

    Upgraded firmware. No joy. Has anyone ever gotten it to work and has pictures to prove it?

    Are Dahua NVR event 'thumbnail images' visible on any mobile apps?

    I'd recently asked 'Andy' about firmware for the cameras and noted they were named as "EmpireTech" filename: EmpireTech IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.840.15OG00D.0.R.220818. IPC-T5442T-ZE This led me to wonder if I should never apply what's on dahua's site vs. what he sold to me...

    Yes to all steps. (and very well documented by the way - thank you).

    I've completed the steps outlined, but still don't see unique thumbnails as hoped for. Any other suggestions?

    This may be the most straightforward advice I've seen here. Agreed, non-standard ports are just a speed bump. I feel better about the P2P now. As I recall, there was a vulnerability with Dahua that allowed multiple login attempts on a port (37777) perhaps?

    User-friendly NVR and remote viewing?

    Glad you bring that up. Given the drumbeat of distrust and security concerns in these forums, I opted to not use a 'cloud account', and benefits were unclear to me. Perhaps that was the missing link. Thank you for mentioning it. At the moment, I have P2P, upnp, multicast, etc. turned off. My...

    User-friendly NVR and remote viewing?

    Personally, no way I'd go to a cloud solution. But that's a separate need. The non-profit I'm helping would have one-time costs covered by a grant. A recurring cost cloud business model isn't supportable. Example: They could spend $2000 to get a decent setup, but would hope to have usable...

    @steve1225 that was an excellent video. It confirmed that the OS is the same, with new features added. And for working from the NVR directly, there are powerful options available. Back to my original question on recommending options for a very small non-profit... AND - to clarify the goal...

    User-friendly NVR and remote viewing?

    Oh I've had much effort put forth over years. It works. The direct attached experience is far better than the mobile access options. and that's where I'd like to see improvements. Specifically, the event thumbnails are excellent - but only accessible in the direct access view.

    I purchased it in 2020 from Andy. As I recall at that time it was the current model. Now this makes we want to look into current NVRs but I haven't found a web demo of the interface/improvements. This is encouraging!

    User-friendly NVR and remote viewing?

    I understand your point of view as a commercial business, but this is a volunteer effort for a non-profit. I'm determining options and budget, and setting expectations accordingly. Nowhere did I define expectations as 'constant updates and will work forever' - nor do they expect that. As to...
