You install the mic to the audio jacks at the camera not the nvr.

Yes the audio Jacks on the nvr are for two way talk. If your camera doesn't have built in mic or built in audio Jacks, then the camera has no audio support. Replace it with a camera that has audio support.

I find that I have to change the times for DST timezone and ntp servers on all of the cameras and nvr for everything to sync up correctly

I think that is done through the ptz menu options

Ring alarm system was my best solution. Door sensor in the mailbox triggers when opened. Alert goes to phone and or audio alert on base if wanted. I've caught a few mail thieves with this (also have an external ptz camera). I had to put a ring relay in the middle, but has been flawless at...

Trying to do all of that remotely will always be problematic. Tasks like that should be done onsight if possible.

Looks like someone is in need of a pc upgrade lol.

Looks like 2 completely different cameras. One has deterrent features, one doesn't, but has a varifocal lens. So depends on your needs.

On the nvr live view there is also a "bell" icon in upper right corner that turns alarms off or on if you click it.

A note on some issues I've had in the past with alarm outs. Double check to make sure that the NVR wasn't accidentally "disarmed" (the little red bell icon). Same on the APP. There's a couple of different areas where the alarms can be accidentally disarmed/disabled. Individual cameras as...

I mainly use SmartPSS for remote settings management for my customers. I don't use it for much of anything else, due to the issues that you have discovered. Playback is the worse for me. You have to search out for the day, but I believe you can filter it by motion. Much cleaner on the NVR...

I've rarely had any issues controlling cameras or setting through the NVR and it is my preferred way. I install a lot of these, and is a much quicker and easier way for me. I also keep everything updated. Every once in a while I'll get one of the cameras getting wonky, and not syncing the...

Spectrum "generally" uses 192.168.1.1 subnet. If your cameras were set to 192.168.1.xxx you should be fine. As far as your original P2P connection issues, if you go into the camera settings (webview), under "network", then P2P, where you enabled it, it should show "online" or "offline". If it...

I was able to upgrade to the newest 2.82 firmware from the dahua site just fine. It added the ability to use the audio linkage and light under general motion detection. Very nice feature! FYI, I upgraded via chrome browser. Note, the zip file has multiple .bin files, I used the...

I'm curious as well. I have many clients with Dahua systems and I can't figure out how to limit the notifications. When they are triggered, it's non-stop alerts until the motion stops. I'm also wondering if there's a way to "snooze" the alerts on the app for specific amount of time? Sent from...
