    Dahua cams hard to connect to Hikvision Nvr?

    Never said I was going to change at this time. BUT, I do have a tool room that I need multiple photos from. Will order new Hikvision cam to address the problem. If I need other cams or Nvr in the future, it will be Hikvision I think. The email photo option working properly is important to me. I...

    Dahua cams hard to connect to Hikvision Nvr?

    " so then how exactly will connecting your Dahua cams to a Hikvision NVR change the email behavior of the Dahua cams if you are going to bypass the NVR and send the emails from the camera directly?" I will only send emails directly from Hikvision cameras. You seem to have misundetood that...

    Dahua cams hard to connect to Hikvision Nvr?

    :Just don't be shocked when the AI or some other feature doesn't work and either sends you too many alerts or none at all: Should not be a problem if I send the emails directly from camera, not NVR. I have 2 other Hikvision cameras doing this just fine now. "You could always set up an email...

    Dahua cams hard to connect to Hikvision Nvr?

    Also, don`t forget. Dahua send 2 emails each time. 1 for alert, then 1 for photo, then I have to click on photo to open. 2 extra steps to see only 1 photo. Ridiculous. What is wrong with changing manufactures to get what I want? If you want a mustang, you don`t buy a toyota. Do you have...

    Dahua cams hard to connect to Hikvision Nvr?

    Phone alerts don`t work well if you are in the drivers seat or an airplane. But, they are useful if you have the time to pick up the phone. I mostly do not need immediate alerts. Just want to look at photos at end of day to see who has been in. Multiple photos help better with identifying who is...

    Dahua cams hard to connect to Hikvision Nvr?

    I have just given up on finding a way to make Dahua send me good picture emails. Hikvision will send me 1 email for event with several photos. But, all this can be done from camera of course. So, as long as I can view it with ONVIF, I think it will be ok. Thank you

    Picture Emails From Dahua NVR?

    Yes, Thank You. Got it working in Dahua Nvr. But, it is still as crappy as using Dahua camera emails. 2 emails, 1 email for event, and 1 for only 1 photo. With Hikvsion, or Blue Iris, I get one email containing several photos.
