    BI Alerts

    Thanks - Maybe it was an artifact from lots of changes, restarts of BI, restarts of cam, etc. Looking forward to seeing what appears on the IOS app.

    Who runs 6+ 1080p wireless cams flawlessly (no disconnects) in there BI environment?

    Honestly, I missed the wireless part too. I am all about the wires. WIreless is too many variables even out in the country.

    BI Alerts

    What determines if BI generated a alert with a video or with a picture? I get a mix currently. I am currently recording on all cameras full time and turned off snapshots off in BI camera settings. I will start testing the IOS app tomorrow but would prefer to be able to always have a snippet...

    Dahua 4231 and 2231 setup for sensitivity

    I have one 4231 and 6 2231 cams connected to BI on a i9-9400 with the GPU helping carry the load. This is my almost everything system including Plex for myself and about once a month a remote user. Thus, I am initially pushing hard to see how well I can do with the on Cam motion and IVS...

    Who runs 6+ 1080p wireless cams flawlessly (no disconnects) in there BI environment?

    I've got 7 going now. 6 are Dahua 2231 and one is a 5231. What I've seen so far is that they are not unlimited in terms of how much data they can pass. I can do 25 FPS at 1080 and over a test of 1-2 days that does fine. I did however turn off the substream because #1 it took a long time for...

    New NVR Startup I'm Beta Testing (Camect)

    Interesting. I'd think the HA and OpenHab cultures would be great early adopters Are there filters for weather? Snow for example gets the cameras pretty excited but often only on one side of the house. Is that addressed to possibly block a camera periodically or is the limit based on what...

    New NVR Startup I'm Beta Testing (Camect)

    How many cameras do you have connected? What are they rated forMP? I see mention the limit of 5 cameras. I have 7 but really like the idea that they are selling. The wild life recognition would be very helpful. They are out number one vandalism problem. Also,curious to know if there is...

    PC-NVR

    Jack7 - Thanks for the reply. I was not aware of the Express S version of the software. Dahua's strategy for branding and naming is a little confusing to me. I will be giving it a try. Regarding the current solution, the CPU runs between 3 and 10% including just after startup. It's a...

    PC-NVR

    Despite good advice to throw the PC-NVR software out - I am giving it another try and discovered the the connection between the SMARTPSS running on the same I5-9400 PC as the PC-NVR looses the connection when I try to connect iDMSSLive view to the cameras on the NVR. The app shows 0Channel-00...

    Smart PSS PC-NVR Help

    Anyone still using the PC-NVR software? I am having the issue where it refuses connections from any devices while I have 7 cameras connected. When I unplug a few it wakes back up --- Anyone tried this DSS Express S Video Managment? I'm not super excited about another system or a VM to run...

    SmartPSS - anyone have 7 cameras and phone alerts working

    Can I use a switch to add more devices to the 4208? Will it have the CPU to handle 12 cameras or do I need the 4216? I have a 16 port POE switch already which makes me thing I need to try BI too. ANd yes, I came up with a slightly newer version of SmartPSS and it too has the same issue whereby...

    SmartPSS - anyone have 7 cameras and phone alerts working

    That's what I am afraid of - Just bought a 16 port POE switch and then the 6TB drive. I did software for years and am always amazed at the rubbish that is put in the market place. It cannot be that far from good - heck the DVR should be the easiest part

    SmartPSS - anyone have 7 cameras and phone alerts working

    It worked until I added a recording plan for 1 camera. I'd be happy to get a better PC but don't want to do that and then find out I too want / need a DVR.

    SmartPSS - anyone have 7 cameras and phone alerts working

    I have the IOS push alerts but no video attached. I would like to see if the dog has came home and is on the porch or if it is the big bad wolfe. Does that work for you? Where is it pulling the video from (card, NVR, etc)

    SmartPSS - anyone have 7 cameras and phone alerts working

    I have spent several evenings in SmartPSS and really like it except two things. It's installed w/ 7 2mp Starlight Dahua cams on an I7-870 PC with a 6gb Purple drive. #1 It looses connections with the recorder and seems that eventually a reinstall is only choice. I've read posts about channel...

    Suggest Dahua vs Hikvision for home use and cloud upload on motion

    Did you decide? I am considering the same. I have local Purple storage but the storage offerings at Google are interesting to say the least. The small amount that you get with each email account is a start but for think $10-12 / month) you can get unlimited storage. There are options to...

    Smart PSS 2.002 AND Cameras will not send SMTP Event notification

    I've installed SmartPSS on Win 10 and it immedately picks up all 7 cameras but I am not able to configure SmartPSS OR the cameras to send SMTP to Gmail. I've tried TLS on port 587 as well as SSL on 465 on both the SMARTPSS and the cameras. I've disabled the firewall in Win. I setup a separate...

    My Speeding Dectector Setup

    Laserray - I really appreciate people who are willing to challenge the status quo and safety is a concern for me but not nearly as motivated as you are. So I'll chime in here and then likely drift off. One thought though is the leverage to change behavior is not through law enforcement. but...

    Comparing ipc-hdw5231r-ze and ipc-hdw2231r-zs and open to other options

    I found another forum post that mentions the 2231 has only on substream as well. I can't really see a use case for three difference resolutions as I really want the cameras for a dterrent and watching the night life that stops by in the evening. I need it for the additional sense of security...

    Comparing ipc-hdw5231r-ze and ipc-hdw2231r-zs and open to other options

    I am planning to put up 8 cameras with four on the corners of the house and four more at the doors. I would like to have audio at 2 of the doors. I would like to understand the difference between ipc-hdw5231r-ze and ipc-hdw2231r-zs. I see that the 5231 has audio and the 2231 does not. Are...

    IPC-T2231T-ZS vs IPC-HDW2231R-ZS
