    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    i had to use a CBR with no AI coding because some of the cams would ramp up to near 20 megabits which would make HD live view and playback in dmss stutter every second (just watching a single cam), regardless that the 5216-ei is connected to a gigabit lan with fiber optic internet with 1.5...

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    there's a ABR that lets you set a max and average bit rate but CBR and VBR under the AI coding, what happens here?

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    you know what's strange, with the following settings: h264, ai coding, max resolution, 15fps, ABR, max bitrate 10240, average bitrate 8192, iframe 2 sec. some cams are actually streaming near 20 megabits! shouldn't they be capped at the max?

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    sorry for taking so long to get back to you guys, i did some experimenting and found using the max bitrate helped on most cameras experiencing the pulsing issue. on one cam though, even on max it did't help. doubling the iframes from 15 to 30 made the pulsing go away (the cam runs at 15fps)...

    5442 S3 series, weird bitrate issue

    i've noticed a weird issue with some of my 5442 s3 series cams, the ze and fixed focal versions on both latest dahua and andy firmware, in my encode settings, on some cams, using h264, max resolution, 15fps, 15 i-frame, cbr, 8192 bit rate, about every couple of seconds, i get a glitch in the...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    unfortunately, still happening. even a ze version of the cam monitoring a stairs (intrusion area) got tripped by a squirrel (and it's not even a big area), others with birds and squirrels. i enabled SMD on one cam (disabled IVS), put sensitivity all the way down and threshold all the way up in...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    in addition to the previous steps i took mentioned in this thread (accupick, metadata in ivs on all cams disabled, disabled accupick on nvr and put it in AI mode) , made sure on the nvr camera settings that ai was by camera and not nvr. i also went into motion detection (under event/video...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    it appears SMD and MD is turned off. but i noticed under event/recorder/mode, there is a selection for acupick or ai mode. acupick was selected. should it be in AI mode? i just switched it to that because i had disabled accupick on all the cams anyway.

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    i went ahead and disabled acupic and metadata. a squirrel still triggered my tripwire. is it possible the NVR 5216-ei is doing something because of some setting on the NVR? if you have these cams, what firmware are you running? the dahua wiki firmware site has 230802 as the latest. maybe i...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    i'm having some major problems with one of the cams, in spite of completely using internet explorer, doing a default, firmware (both files) install, default, default, i still get false alerts and a bunch of ivs recording events in the timeline. what's funny is the alerts to the phone don't match...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    that's what i did. would you believe motion detection was off in edge, chrome, firefox but when i opened it in IE, it showed it was enabled! so i disabled it in IE. i may just end up defaulting all the settings in the cams and start over in IE.

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    yikes. IE probably died before these cams were released. i used edge originally, then chrome and also firefox but the weirdness continued. i wish we could just use a modern mainstream browser. i thought that would have been the case by now, remembering with the old cams we had to use IE or...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    i deleted min size. im also transitioning to using tripwire on problem areas. one thing i noticed, in addition to getting triggers by squirrels, in dmss, when i look under motion detection video under playback, i see events even though SMD and motion is disabled. something leads me to believe...

    one thing i forgot to ask, when drawing the intrusion detection area, is it ok to draw the line right on the edge of the screen? (detection mode is appear)

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    thanks for the info. when i get back to that site, i will try it out. i had the latest firmware 20240924 from the dahua site installed on the cams. i downgraded to andy's firmware 20240906 on one cam. i'm gonna keep an eye to see if that makes a difference. i disabled min target size. lets...

    what min size do you consider fairly large? can you expand on what to do in the global config?

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    the reason i went SMD is because i was having constant trips with IVS "intrusion". i setup IVS "intrusion" (action: appear) again and this time i set the minimum target size and i don't get as many false alarms. but some weird stuff is happening. in "effective target", "animal" is deselected...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    i've setup smart motion detection on a bunch of 5442 s3 series cams and im having an issue where in the recording playback timeline, there are a ton of event markers. in SMD, i've filtered the targets to humans and vehicles. i do get push notifications to DMSS when those targets are picked up...

    DMSS V1.99.811 no option to disable noise reduction anymore

    Like I said, it was fine for years until a few updates ago. Just finished changing the settings in all the cams and it works great. The sound is once again clear.

    DMSS V1.99.811 no option to disable noise reduction anymore

    For anyone having this issue, I found a fix. Under audio, my encode mode was AAC and my sampling frequency was 32000. It worked fine this way for years in DMSS until a few updates ago. If you set the sampling frequency to 64000, it fixes the problem. So set the following under audio in the...

    DMSS V1.99.811 no option to disable noise reduction anymore

    Yes, it was always in the app as well. It's still in gDMSS plus and it works there. The first thing I always did when installing the app on my phone or someone else's was to disable NR so it doesn't sound like the audio is under water. I believe I was taught to do that from this web forum many...

    DMSS V1.99.811 no option to disable noise reduction anymore

    Yes, audio has noise reduction. You can see it in the audio settings on the cam and it was in the app. What version of DMSS are you using?

    DMSS V1.99.811 no option to disable noise reduction anymore

    I even tried viewing the cam by ddns and it's the same issue. There was a button in the DMSS app that was removed a few updates ago. This is the source of the issue. This is what it looks like in gDMSS plus..

    DMSS V1.99.811 no option to disable noise reduction anymore

    They have updated the app a few times since then but have not fixed the audio issue. Currently v1.99.821 build date 2024-08-21 I have contacted the maker of the app by the email listed on google play and their website: https://cce-soft.com/ I suggest others do the same. Maybe if there's...

    Mounting to Soffit with no backing?

    Anyone try Jack Nuts? I've been looking around for a solution to mount cameras to thin aluminum soffit https://youtube.com/shorts/8Whz_ayqKa8?si=r2BICKX6_EJWV7aY There's also a tool to install them. The tool removes the need to hold the jack nut firm to keep it from spinning while...

    IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE S3 questions

    Yes, AcuPick is there though i have no idea how to use ot yet. Lol There's also the alarm wires and extra connections on the harness. P.s, how do you trip the alarm? Is it just as simple as shorting 2 wires? Or is it a signal? Edit, i guess it looks like it requires a voltage to operate a...
