I bought cameras and NVR from Andy back in the day, and I haven't dared to upgrade the firmware because my cameras were in hard-to-get locations in case something went wrong, but now that I am moving soon, I removed all my cameras and thought now it's time to upgrade the firmware for all my...

Okay, I managed to solve this by switching that one camera to static IP instead of dynamic one. I set it as 192.168.0.170, but didn't change anything else. After I changed the same IP to my NVR's settings, it suddenly reappeared there as well! So, although everything works again, I have no idea...

Yes, in fact I have also powered that separate switch off and back on, and the same two cameras return online when I look them via NVR, but this one does not. Although I can log straight into that camera as well... :/ Because I don't have UPS connected to that switch, when power goes off...

Hello! I have six cameras connected to my NVR, three of them straight via NVR's ports, and three via separate switch that is connected both to my NVR and to my router (so those cameras get 192.168 -addresses via DHCP). Things has been working fine for a long time, until recently (after power...

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for! I was searching for this in image settings, event settings or even in camera's own settings (there are overlays etc where this would make sense), but I never noticed Display menu under System :)

I meant web config/browser (I use that so I can watch my cameras when I am at work as well), but good to know that at least it's possible with Smart PSS! Do you (or someone else) know if that is possible with web config as well?

This is probably a stupid question, but I cannot find any way to hide those ugly blue lines from my live view (I have both Dahua cameras and Dahua NVR). Naturally I want both tripwire and/or intrusion boxes to be active, and I want to see them in settings, but I don't want to see them in live...

Last time I upgraded, I did the factory reset from camera software, but it didn't fix it. I am a bit hesistant to do these factory resets in case I somehow lose connection to my camera as a result (if it resets IP settings as well etc), but camera reboots itself after upgrading and after that I...

Upgraded, and it's still bugged :idk:

I am not sure about the specs of my power supply (and cannot check now as I am at work), but back when I ordered this camera, Andy sent me a power supply as well so I could test it without NVR, and that power supply worked without problems. EDIT: I just checked and this power supply has 12V 3A...

All right, I did set camera to defaults. First I thought I lost connection to my camera as it didn't want to come back online after it rebooted itself, but it was just my DHCP server giving my camera new IP address... :) Anyway, defaulting camera did not help. Privacy masking is still very much...

No, is that necessary? All my presets etc would be deleted then surely? I did reboot the camera though after upgrading.

Upgraded, and while camera still works like normal (at least, so far so good), that privacy mask drawing did NOT get fixed. It's still very buggy and if you place it in wrong place (which is easy, considering the square appears in different place where your mouse cursor is, AND is bigger as...

Ahh nice, I have just been cursing about how privacy mask works just fine with Dahua turret cameras, but with this one, it's a mess. I have to try it, as this might be why it's not possible to move privacy mask because the black square is bigger than actual borders of that mask.

I only realized a couple of days ago that I don't have to have my cameras connected right into NVR in order for them to work, so now half of my cameras are working in my local network. With that in mind, I could just buy another POE switch to add those cameras that are still connected to my NVR...
