    Is a Dahua NVR actually 1U or 2U in a rack?

    The reason the shelf doesn’t line up is because if I placed it higher up, the NVR wouldn’t have fit due to the thickness of the shelf. Remember, it’s on a shelf, it’s not mounted. Oh and yes it does have rubber feet I believe which also adds to the height. Good point.

    Is a Dahua NVR actually 1U or 2U in a rack?

    Looks like 1.75 to me which is 1U. I compared with my unifi 1U devices and they are the same height. I don’t think the version I have is even rackable if I recall.

    Is a Dahua NVR actually 1U or 2U in a rack?

    My NVR (5216-16P-4KS2E) appears to be about 1U. I have it sittting in a rack but on a shelf within the rack. I never bothered trying to actually rack mount it.

    Can push notification for DMSS contain a image preview (without open DMSS)??? Like in Imou Life app?

    I’ve been waiting for this feature to be added for years. Using just the DMSS app, it’s not a feature. I have been able to get it working by using the home bridge plugin. I just disable the DMSS notification on my phone and get the notifications via Homebridge. I stopped using this method though...

    DMSS notifications still working?

    Problem solved. It appears that after my power outage, somehow the default DNS server listed on my NVR was set to 1.0.0.0 (have no clue how that would have happened). SSH'ed into my UDM Pro and ran a tcpdump against the Dahua NVR IP, I noticed that it was trying to hit push.messagepush.org...

    DMSS notifications still working?

    Ok thanks for the confirmation. Ya that’s what my initial thought was. I purposely disabled my firewall rules. It used to be sending to: push.messagepush.org: 8888 I will need to monitor the traffic and see what’s going on. Thanks. Will report back.

    DMSS notifications still working?

    Update: I set up email alerts and those are working so at least I know that my cameras are detecting motion successfully. Push messaging not working though. hmm

    DMSS notifications still working?

    Hi guys Are your DMSS app notifications still working? Mine stopped last week all of a sudden. I did have a power outage at approx the same time I noticed they stopped. I checked and all settings are exactly the same. I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled. Rebooted my NVR and all...

    Dahua DMSS App.

    Hi I’m pretty sure in the general - appearance mode - match system settings is what controls the dark mode. For the video download, I was able to download a video clip with audio by default. So I’m pretty sure if you have the audio enabled in your camera/nvr settings then it will record using...

    SmartMotionHuman alert - IPC-T5442TM-AS

    Thanks this works really well. I almost feel as if I need to test it daily to make sure it is working since I don't get any false alarms anymore. - much appreciated.

    Urgent!Apache Log4j2 Vulnerability issue on Dahua DSS

    At the company I work for, it’s been the only thing that has been discussed and everyone is patching servers non stop. All other changes are on hold. Log4j is included in quite a few different software packages.

    Dahua SMD alerts over Apple HomeKit

    Update: I got the motion alerts to work. I believe it had something to do with me having http enabled only in the ffmpeg plugin config. HomeKit will send me motion alerts to my phone but then at some point stops until I restart my docker container/homebridge. Will keep digging as I am not...

    Dahua SMD alerts over Apple HomeKit

    I managed to get a pretty acceptable stream by using the Substream and the 'tcp' option. I had to ensure that I did NOT enable the HTTP only, otherwise it could not login to my NVR. I have HTTPS enabled on my NVR. The issue I have at the moment is that I cannot get the 'Motion' triggered...

    Dahua nvr5216-16p-4ks2e defaults random camera names after reboot

    I tend to make any updates on the camera gui directly rather than the NVR if possible as I came across a few inconsistencies in the past between interfaces. Everyone mentions IE but I don’t even know where you find IE anymore on a newer system. It’s EDGE now I think. if my NVR required a daily...

    SmartMotionHuman alert - IPC-T5442TM-AS

    Hi guys, Using smart alerts and I get the 'SmartMotionHuman' alert when my dog is in the yard. Isn't the camera smart enough to know that it is NOT a HUMAN? Any suggestions on what I can do to tinker with the settings to prevent this false alert? Thanks

    Dahua SMD alerts over Apple HomeKit

    Ya somehow I missed the part that transport part in the rtsp call. I added it. Your right, the dropped frames are gone. But ffmeg will stop displayed the stream after a few seconds with the following message in the log: [11/22/2021, 3:54:24 PM] [Camera FFmpeg] [Driveway] FFmpeg exited with...

    Dahua SMD alerts over Apple HomeKit

    I tried the HomeBridge + Raspi 4 with my 5216-16P-4KS2E (for camera IPC-T5442TM-AS). Didn't work very well. I took the Docker Image approach for HomeBridge. HomeBridge is working fine for other plugins, cpu utilization on my Pi is only 1%, lots of memory left. The pi was able to send me the...

    Latest New NVR5xxx-4KS2 General_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000006.1.R.210709

    I believe Andy works closely with some of the Dahua developers to quickly fix many of the known issues and bugs prior to Dahua fixing them. I've been using the 6.1.R.210709 since Sept 11th without any issue already. Not sure if this one that Andy posted about is any different. I've learned...

    Dahua nvr5216-16p-4ks2e defaults random camera names after reboot

    Ok I see. I just initiated a reboot. NVR came back up. Logged in, checked camera name, looks ok. Do you change the camera name from SmartPSS? I find that sometimes when I use SmartPSS, it can mess things up (I'm not sure why exactly).

    Dahua motion stop notification

    I just came across this today after finally getting my email notifications to work (really liking the email notifications) but getting sick of the stop alarm email. Good idea on the email filter.

    Hi Andy, Is the latest one you mention the following? My NVR5216-16P-4KS2E prompted me to upgrade to this version automatically (I just noticed it today). Wondering if it's the same as what you mention. Thanks System Version V4.001.0000006.1, Build Date: 2021-05-10

    Just realized that after my upgrade on March 16, I no longer can filter using 'motion' events. In fact, I don't see motion events at all. Will need to check settings again to see what changed.
