    Dahua versus an Apple eco system

    I finally figured out why SmartPSS would not remember anything after quitting. I got SmartPSS to crash. I looked in the Crash Report and noticed a line that stated the application had been translocated. Googled it. Instead of directly running the app, MacOS 10.12 and above will run some apps...

    Dahua versus an Apple eco system

    I would be OK with no live view in Dahua's web interface if SmartPSS worked. I seem to be able to set everything (IVS, motion detection, camera parameters, etc.) up in the camera's GUI. Everything gets saved back into the camera and shows up in SmartPSS. This is based on limited testing on...

    Dahua versus an Apple eco system

    Yes, I have IVS active. It's strange that the plugin will draw the overlays and display the camera video while doing IVS event setup but then crash in live view. Edited to remove SmartPSS and replace with plugin.

    Dahua versus an Apple eco system

    Yesterday Firefox ESR 52 was working correctly. Today Live View reported the plugin crashed and that I had to reload the page. Can not use Live View anymore. Luckily I remembered someone else reporting the same issue. Before Live View has a chance to load an image, switch to a different tab...

    Dahua versus an Apple eco system

    Some of my notes from tryin to use SmartPSS I have downloaded at least 4 different versions of SmartPSS from the Dahua site. Only one version is even partially working. The one that partly works is the most recent version 2.00.0 with a build date of 2017-01-20. Able to see NVR and cameras...

    Safari 12.0 Removes NPAPI Plugin Support

    Firefox ESL 52 works under Mojave, just make sure the auto update feature doesn’t bump you up to a later version. Had to reinstall a couple of times. Check the about Firefox dialog and make sure you are running 52. Not sure if the plugin I’m using is the one downloaded directly from the camera...

    Dahua versus an Apple eco system

    I now have a web browser working using FireFox ESR 52. This is after I updated my Mac to macOS Mojave, 10.14. My steps: Downloaded FireFox ESL 52 from Directory Listing: /pub/firefox/releases/52.0esr/ When first run, FireFox automatically updates itself to the most recent ESL version...

    Dahua versus an Apple eco system

    I will try the non-Safari browsers tomorrow. I have almost, but not quite, given up on using a Mac with Dahua. Really hoping someone here has been able to do it and get me started.

    Dahua versus an Apple eco system

    I have been trying to set up a new Dahua system with an Apple Macintosh computer running High Sierra. And failing miserably. Has any one had recent success in setting up and running a Dahua system (NVR and cameras) from a Mac? If so how? Any links? Config does nothing. SmartPSS does not...

    When can we see an update of any kind? Last Mac version I can find is 2.00.0 with a build date of 2017-01-20. Meanwhile the Windows version is up to 2.02 released three months ago.

    Safari plugin for Dahua IPCs.

    I have found nothing that will allow me to see video on a Mac running High Sierra 11.13.6 and Safari 11.3. Tried using the Develop - UserAgent - - - iPad. Did not work for me on the NVR5216 or three different cameras (4239, 5231, and 81230). All bought within the last couple of weeks from Andy.
