    Maybe, but why would something live need to be refreshed? I see it when viewing live feeds.

    No problem. When you can access your fancy VGA screen again, let me know if you see it, and what you think it's supposed to do.

    Going back to the test I did yesterday, when I went to the side gate. And found out that the IVS was triggered after I'd already left the scene. When I re-watch the footage, but watch the time before the IVS is triggered, I see that face detection is triggered first. Then several seconds...

    @catcamstar, do you see something similar on your live NVR feed?

    Hmm, good catch. It was off by 1 second. Ok, when I push it, a lock symbol appears. When I push it again, it disappears. I don't understand what the point is. Also, I noticed that the 7 other cam feeds are in sync with the NVR time. But then that time in the upper right corner is about...

    Also, I asked this in another thread, but what do those two arrows, forming a circle, mean, next to the time? To the left of the time, when watching on the NVR. https://i.imgur.com/vS8A0NE.jpg

    Thanks. After reading your post this morning, I tried a few more things. This time, for a camera, I deleted the IVS rules (instead of leaving them disabled). That didn't fix it. Then, I hit the default on the motion settings page, saved, then enabled it again, then saved. This time the...

    Motion still doesn't seem to be working in the cameras where I had set IVS. I unchecked the lightbulb under Smart Plan, for each of those channels. I went back to Motion, and checked enable. I did everything except for actually delete the rules. I did go to each of the rules, and uncheck...

    A few more notes I see: * IVS picked up a bird in the backyard. This is fine. * On another yard camera, wind set off IVS. This isn't better than motion. So far, I like it when IVS works, but the times where it doesn't work the way I intend (like when it missed me several times going to the...

    I tried one more test. I went out to the side gate. It picked it up as an IVS event, but AFTER I had already left. Again, this isn't acceptable. Also, I see the front door picked up an IVS event that wasn't part of a test. A car crossed the boundary on the street. So this was fine. But...

    I'm turning motion detection off now, and setting IVS. How does IVS handle a light going from off to on, or vice versa? With motion detection, it registers this as an event. Also, do you think this should be registered as an event (whether with motion detection, or IVS)? I am not sure, so...

    @EMPIRETECANDY, @Shockwave199, did you see those last few posts? I'm still a bit confused. Thanks.

    Thanks. Should I keep both motion and IVS enabled, or only one? (24/7 for general recording will still be there). Where should I draw a line for the front doorway, so it doesn't pick up wind? https://i.imgur.com/vS8A0NE.jpg Why tripwire and not intrusion? Just so I understand.

    Not when I'm at work. That's why I'm waiting until I get home. If I was somewhere else, and on Wi Fi, I could.

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Well I actually have a real one, in my Zoom H2N audio recorder. I wasn't sure how to read it, in this situation, though, because the max is at 0, and anything less is a negative dB. Perhaps I should take the difference from 0 then, instead of reading it from left to right. Or I can contact...

    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    @bzcomputers, @bigoliver, any idea on why there's so much variation with the decibel apps? 3 different apps, 3 readings. There is about a 26-30 dB difference in readings across the 3 apps, for each distance that I tried. What can I do to get a more confident reading?

    Can you give me some tips on how to set that up, or what settings to use? I think I'll keep my garage cam on motion detection, since there aren't outside environmental factors. For the other cameras, maybe I'll try IVS on a case by case basis. I'll probably start with the driveway and...

    Dahua NVR - What does the "Start Talk" do...

    Thanks. My cameras have built in mics. So it sounds like I just need to connect an external mic to the back of the NVR? Or do I need to make additional connections on each device? I'm still a bit confused, after looking at the diagram. Also, is there a microphone you or someone suggest I...

    I also figured out now how to view the file info from the NVR interface. When in playback mode, you have to click on the icon with the rectangle with lines going across it. That kind of looks like a small piece of paper. It's the icon all the way on the lower right.

    Thanks. I used SmartPSS, and I see the file info now. Also, apparently the neighbor turning on the light inside their house set off a motion event. Funny, I'm learning what qualifies as a motion event.

    Thanks, I was able to set it up. When I view the stream from the NVR UI, I now see an icon of two people running, in the lower left side. I figured out that it means it's a motion event. https://i.imgur.com/vS8A0NE.jpg Also, the doorway camera is now recording a motion event, very often...

    Here's the microphone icon picture. 2nd icon from the right side. https://i.imgur.com/vS8A0NE.jpg Also, what does that icon with the arrows forming a circle, just to the left of the time, mean? Is there some kind of a video loop?

    Dahua NVR - What does the "Start Talk" do...

    Yes, I'll send some pics later this week. So you're seen the cameras need to have a microphone input, not just the built-in internal mic, to record talk back audio, correct? I'm not as concerned about recording talk back audio. I just want to use the talk back audio, if I can set it up. How...

    Also, how are you able to see the file size of those events? Are you using the NVR interface; the web interface; or something else?

    I haven't tried your steps yet. Just wanted to say that I think your screen shot shows exactly what I want. There are a few orange lines, surrounded by the green lines. I think for me, they would be yellow, since it's motion detection. But yes, similar idea. I'll report back after I've...

    Thanks. I went to System-->Setting-->Storage-->Schedule. I changed channels 1 - 7 so that they were recording both General, and Motion. A min later, a car drove by the driveway camera. I then went to search for the playback of the driveway camera. I don't see how to isolate the motion...

    Dahua NVR - What does the "Start Talk" do...

    I am wondering the same thing. I have the NVR5416-16P-4KS2 NVR. If I go to the NVR interface and view a stream, there is a microphone icon that appears, if I put my mouse in the upper right corner. If I hover my mouse, it says "Audio Talk". I tried clicking on it. But I don't think anything...

    If I have my cameras set to record 24/7, can I also use IVS? Will that record some events multiple times (once as a part of the 24/7 recording, and once as a part of IVS)? In the end, if I can enable both 24/7, and IVS, will it make it easier to search for things?
