What's wrong with port 37777? All of my cameras are hooked up on that port. The cameras are plugged into a switch which gets fed to my NVR box. I dont have a way to go from the cameras to the NVR directly...

Amazing thank you!

Thanks for this. I have tried the ZigZag setting before but the reason i turned it off is because that would trigger 20 different notifications whenever the motion is detected. I have since turned it off during the day so the mowers don't drive me crazy but i suppose i can put it back for the...

I have spent literal months messing with my Dahua cameras around my house trying to get the tripwire / Intrusion settings to a point where they are actually usable. I've come to the conclusion that Dahua is probably great in a business setting but absolutely terrible from a home security...

I have a series of Dahua cameras setup around my house. I am using IVr tripwire to signal notifications on activity. I have the activity turned off before 6pm in case people come to mow the grass, etc. it works fine but at night when I have people over the notifications go crazy. If there are...

I think i found it. Dahua NVR H.265 Auto Switch

This is absolutely driving me crazy. I have a Dahua NVR with 6 cameras. I keep setting the video encoding settings to H264 because I am also using Scrypted to get the video into Homekit. Everything works fine when the settings stay at H264. After a few minutes the settings seem to auto revert...

Yeah i am figuring this out. The problem is, if i have zigzag lines, i get 30 notifications when someone walks across my yard. I would like to have 1 notification. It seems like smart detection would be better than IVS, but when i have smart detection on, i keep getting told that a human is...

I just want to be notified whenever someone comes into the area. If i am standing back there literally waving my hand at the device and i get 0 notifications, it seems fairly worthless...

I have been reading other posts on this board. Do i need to setup IVS to look like this?? Because i basically created 3 rules, one straight line on each side. Mine looks noting like this:

I think i realize i'm not supposed to draw a box for tripwire but individual in/out lines. If that's the case then i would technically need a few in/out lines for an open piece of land, right? Let's say on the top, left and right of the screen. If that's the case, in the event of something like...

I am really struggling with setting up my Dahua cameras. Especially in the back yard, when I have motion/smart motion enabled, i get tons of false positives at night for "human" detection when there is literally nothing there. When i have IVF/trip wire enabled with the area drawn out, i get 0...

yeah that's exactly what i decided to do. Simpler to just install a floodlight and get a good camera. Thanks

Hi. I have a Dahua system and am looking for a solid floodlight camera. Dahua doesn’t seem to have any. Lorex has a single wired one, but it is Wi-Fi only. The only thing I can find is a Reolink duo floodlight camera - it’s POE but I’m not sure it is compatible with my Dahua system. I’m not...

Hi. I recently switched from a Vivint system to Dahua wired NVR system with / alarm.com combo. the cameras and NVR system is cool but I’m extremely disappointed in the lack of basic features like push notifications on motion alerts. This is for a home system and the ability to be notified when...
