Thank you Wittaj, I have it up and working thanks to your help.

I have a Dahua NVR and am limited in my understanding on how to set up my NVR to use pushover. I was just going to have my NVR send notifications to my pushover email but how am I supposed to configure my nvr/network/email when I have to enter a SMTP server name and port but there is no SMTP...

Thomas, you're the man! That was it. It was set to disarm. Thank you so much for your time!

How do you get email notifications from AI tripwire alarms on a Dahua NVR? I have my email set up under the Network menu. My email tests fine and I get heath emails sent to me fine but no emails when my AI tripwire alarm goes off. Under AI>parameters>IVS>(my tripwire)trigger I have checked the...

I set up my email for alert notices but I wonder if it will work come May 30th 2022 when Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account...

What is the best way to get cell phone notifications of alarms from Dahua tripwire, intrusion, etc.?

Good to know. Thank you much.

If I make too big a mess of things, is there somewhere to reset all back to factory defaults? I have not run any updates on anything so far.

I think I am closer to getting it to work thanks to your instructions. Tripwire trigger seems to be working and I'm now getting tripwire recordings. The next thing I want to set up is getting push notifications to my cell phone. I found the blue lightbulb under AI>PARAMETERS>SMART PLAN. I did...

When you say do I have notifications turned on in the "app", if you mean the nvr's main menu, I don't know what notifications that would be. I'm just trying to get it to record an AI notice when you review the recorded history. When I draw a tripwire and go outside and walk across it, the person...

I looked under the nvr's main menu>cameras and the many cameras sub menus and can find no e icon.

My knowledge of this stuff is very limited. I have a NVR5208-8P-4KS2E with IPC-T5442T-ZE cameras. I've set up Tripwire and Intrusion rules but I'm not getting any alarm notices. I went under MAIN MENU>AI>PARAMETERS>IVS and created my tripwire and intrusion areas. And as far as the arm/disarm...

I'm not a fan of IR for the fact that you lose a lot of detail. I had a car break-in where the perp's clothes showed up as one white color. It wasn't until they stepped behind the glass of the car and the IR was blocked, you could see the front of his shirt was a giant American flag. Because of...

Looks like two IPC-T5442T-ZE cameras would be a good choice to cover the area. Can I expect them to work well at night in color with a bright LED illuminated area? Do they switch between infrared and color when the house LED motion lights turn on?

I purchased a Dahua NVR5208-8P-4KS2E during Andy's black Friday sale but did not know what camera to order so I'm looking for recommendations. Should I go with a fixed lens or variable? I want to cover my 20' W x 30' L driveway and into the street. I want good human detection in my driveway area...
