    Review: EmpireTech IPC-T58IR-ZE-S3 / Dahua 5842T-ZE-S3 - 8MP / 4K Turret Camera

    What is the benefit to MetaData vs IVS? Is Metadata better for busy areas or also good at a residential home? Thanks

    IVS help

    IDK about that with IVS. I could see it with SMD but most say it doesn’t work that well. Maybe it would for that area since it’s in the back and not a bunch of traffic?

    Have you opened that camera on DMSS app, clicked the settings button on the top right, go to notifications and make sure it’s on and trip wire is selected? See picture.

    IVS help

    I found doing a trip wire around the outer edges and then one or two trip wires zig zagged works well as it will constantly get triggered. I attached a pic.

    VPN Setup Issue

    I don’t remember on that for sure. I was always told to not enable P2P on the NVR or cameras as that is what will increase the risk of being hacked. Therefore, I never enabled it.

    Doorbell camera

    If you add this doorbell to your Dahua NVR, can you also use an app to view it or get notifications? I have the DMSS app but I do not run it all the time because I have to run OpenVPN when I’m away from the house in order to use the app. Thank you!

    IPC-HDBW5442E-ZE-S3 from icctvzone & variable focal length vs fixed focal length

    I think you’d be crazy not to buy from Andy, especially over $30! The knowledge and time that he has for all of us is easily worth the $30. Sounds like you should hold off on buying a camera or look at Andy’s refurbished list!

    Reolink DB not found on LAN when connected thru NVR.

    @daves52380 I have a Dahua NVR and looking at getting a doorbell. Are you still using it? What model doorbell are you using? Are you using a POE cable between DB and NVR? Are you only viewing the doorbell through the NVR GUI? Thanks!
