    Dahua IP Camera to Control Garage door

    correct, I am not using an alarm on the camera. Only want to toggle the output via iDmss. Cannot find a button on iDmss which will do this. I have only been able to toggle it via web browser after logging into the camera

    Dahua IP Camera to Control Garage door

    Hi Guys, I have a Dahua camera with 1x Alarm In and 1x Alarm Out. I wanted to wire the Alarm_Out across my garage door remote button so I can open the Garage door via the internet on iDMSS. My camera with the I/O is connected to a 4104 NVR. If I log into the camera via a web browser I can...

    Dahua NVR iDmss connects over Cellular data but not Wi-Fi

    Turns out i actually couldn’t browse to the local ip or add it in smart pss with its static IP. I could ping it but that was all. The hdd drive is also showing as faulty. I have replaced the nvr with a new one for him now

    Dahua NVR iDmss connects over Cellular data but not Wi-Fi

    Hi all, I have a Dahua NVR 4104 I helped installed for a friend. We added his NVR into iDmss using P2P. We were only able to connect to the cameras over cellular data. It will not work when he try's to connect on the Wi-Fi network. We have also tried adding the NVR using the local static IP...

    Has anyone found a solutions for this? I also have an NVR with tripwires set up and no IVS showing in the schedule tab. I am not using smart codec and smart plan has IVS enabled for each camera.

    Alarm Relay Sticking after motion detect

    Thanks mate. I really hope this solves all my problems. A 1N4001 would probably be better. I just grabbed a 1N4004 because i already have a few. I have ordered 4 new cameras so i can test this setup on the bench before i head back to the job site to fix the issues. I will let you guys know...

    Alarm Relay Sticking after motion detect

    I believe i have come up with a solution to isolate the camera I/O's. If this works all i would need is to put a few diodes on each camera and i can use the existing wiring and relay. This should at least stop the other cameras which are commoned together from sensing a contact close from a...

    Alarm Relay Sticking after motion detect

    Guys can we stay on topic please. I did not start this thread to chat about old oscilloscope, test equipment and CDC computers. I was hoping to put a few heads together and get some feedback from like minded techys on my project. Forget the automotive relay. Its gone and replaced with a solid...

    Alarm Relay Sticking after motion detect

    So i was totally wrong about the camera i/o's commoned together. It definitely does not like it. First night tonight we ran the alarms in the scheduled time zone. Alerts and SMPT emails were sending out as a security guard was patrolling the area at midnight. The problem i had tonight was that...

    Alarm Relay Sticking after motion detect

    The lack of documentation by Dahua would be my biggest criticism for their equipment. I found myself having to write some basic documents for my customers which i re-use now. Really the only way to become an expert is to buy the equipment and play with it. You really have to fiddle with it to...

    Alarm Relay Sticking after motion detect

    interesting points. If i had a spare camera i would replicate this problem on the bench. Unfortunately i cant afford to spend to much time playing around with it on-site to solve this mystery. Maybe in the near future i can investigate further into it when i order more cameras for my client...

    Alarm Relay Sticking after motion detect

    What i learnt from this is not to use mechanical relays for I/O's. I can say the best way to learn is to make mistakes :D

    Alarm Relay Sticking after motion detect

    I feel ya mate. I too hate not knowing the reason why things happen. My background is actually 11 years in the radio communications industry. I studied electronics for 4 years and this had me a little baffled. I have been running my own business for the past 3 years. Point to point links and...
