    How to get NVR or camera alerts to your phone notification status bar

    I have a Dahua NVR but should work with anything that can send email alerts. You will need gmail. If you don't know what gmail is, stop reading, turn off your computer and find the nearest human and ask. On the Dahua NVR setup email alerting Settings->Network->Email Click Enable SMTP...

    Two way audio at the Dahua cam - Am I dreaming?

    Do you run power cables to the speakers? Is there such thing as a PoE splitter and PoE speaker. I looked on Amazon and poe speakers are like 200 plus.... I have same network setup but I dont port forward from the internet (dangerous...) I use openvpn. Trick is on my managed poe router I have...

    Two way audio at the Dahua cam - Am I dreaming?

    So the dahua "talk button" on the live preview will go out speakers connected to the NVR? Connecting to each camera individually seems against best practice when you should be segmenting your network from core network and NVR. I guess you could put another "jump" router on your camera and vpn...

    Two way audio at the Dahua cam - Am I dreaming?

    I've been on a quest for the same scenario but have some hybrid use cases for the two way. It's a cost overhead and a little silly but I have Dahua NVR and cameras for monitoring and email to phone status alerts then I have Reolink Argus and C2 next to some of my Dahua cameras for the two way...

    What is the extra capability of Face Detection vs. IVS or MD?

    The Dahua NVR looks to take face snapshots when the FD kicks off. I haven't figured out where it puts them though... I'm assuming I have to setup FTP and ship them to an FTP server on frequency. If I did have "face shots" I'd have a server that would API "criminal" face databases and slurp them...

    What is the extra capability of Face Detection vs. IVS or MD?

    Thanks, your thoughts are lining up with my assumptions. I've setup based on your recommendation and using IVS for the emailing/alerting. If it was possible to do FD to have snapshots of faces alongside IVS/recording I'd use it to ship off the face snapshots for analysis. Play with facial...

    What is the extra capability of Face Detection vs. IVS or MD?

    I have a Dahua NVR5216-4ks2 and 2mp Starlight Camera. I setup a Camer on the front door and thought it would be cool to use Face Detection. I thought that if it picked up on a face it would snapshot and store somewhere on the NVR that you could ftp or get access. It looks like it's more a...

    DAHUA Camera + NVR LPR and Face Rec Functionality

    Face API - Facial Recognition | Microsoft Azure Looks like you could get creative if you are able to get the face pictures from the nvr. You could pull pictures from criminal websites from your area then run comparisons on the side.

    DAHUA Camera + NVR LPR and Face Rec Functionality

    Can lpr or facial recog look profiles against known bad/criminal lists? If a known sex offender or fbi top 10 walks to my door or drives by will it alert? Something i could do with the data(i.e. api) if i had access to public bad lists? What are use cases for consumers with lpr or facial recog?
