I am trying to export video from my Dahua 5216 with SmartPSS. I set the start time and stop time, but it always wants to export an hour of video. I really just need to export a few minutes or a few seconds. I seem to get the start time right, but end time is one hour after start time.

Do any of the Dahua camera stream directly to an internet URL? I would like to stream directly to a cloud based service. I have a 300MB internet connection that I can upgrade to 1GB so I am not worried about saturating my internet connection.

Well the NVR just crapped out again. It stopped working after about 3 days. Now I cant get it to boot up. The power light comes on fan turns on, hard drive spins up. But no video out. I want to update the firmware, but cant see how to do that without the device booting up.

Bingo, that was the problem. You also need to remember to set it up for each channel. But once I did that I got my orange lines. Thank you very much.

Its hard to believe, but I don't actually have a normal PC to put the drive into. However, upon removing the drive the NVR does not even boot up. It connects and discounts from the switch (I have been watching the activity light). The behavior seems worse so I am guessing it is not the drive. I...

Weird, I am having the same behavior. The IVS event appears in the log, however, I don't get the orange (yellow) line. I have zoomed in pretty close on the timeline and it is still not there. Also it does not appear on the file list the way yours does.

I have had my new 5216 NVR with 16 POE ports for a couple of weeks now and its behavior has been pretty flakey. It typically takes a long time to boot up, and then after a few hours locks up. When booting it up again, it makes me go through the setup process again, like I was turning it on for...

Make sure that you are running IE and not Edge. I made that mistake.

You don't have a receiver specified. Try adding that. Also make sure that your default gateway in your TCP/IP settings is correct.

The default working period is always. I double checked it and saved it again. I drew a bunch of vertical lines up and down the door. I also added a box around the door for Intrusion detection. Also when I go to the Live view on the camera or on PSS I do not see the lines that I have drawn in the...

Ok, I am downloading SmartPSS to play with it. However, I still don't have IVS events being triggered. I seem to have the opposite effect. I am checking the live stream directly from the camera and there are not lines. I have setup a tripwire setting and I believe I have it set right but I...

Thanks for the info. I have checked out the other thread but still struggling. Will work on it some more tomorrow. As for paying it backwards, I am keeping a log of all the things that I am doing to get this going with all the gotchas. I will make the beginners guide available when I am done...

Ok, I fell like I am wearing out my welcome but here goes. I have IVS setup. However, in the video earlier in this post it shows the lines for tripwire in the LIVE feed. When I go to my live feed I don't see the tripwire lines.

So it turns out it was not the resolution, but the scaling of the text and apps which I had to 150%. In case anybody else has the same issue. But thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Now more fun begins and I am sure more questions. You guys are invaluable.

Well that helped a little. Now I can draw the line, but the picture is in a funny place.
