Dropping in to update. I've got the system working. I honestly still don't understand (technically) how the wifi camera is talking to the NVR through the AP but it is. I'll accept magic as the answer for now until it breaks and I have to troubleshoot it. :) Thank y'all so damn much for the help.

I see. Thanks for the recs! I'll have a closer look after work

Gotcha that does make sense, now I just need to get the camera and figure out how to get the router linked with the WiFi camera itself. Thank you!

These are things I haven't considered because I didn't know they were options. As for a nano station... Do you have an example? I could build an enclosure. The power lines running there power many other items as well. Would that cause interference?

Gotcha. I certainly would prefer wired but the location is 70' away, it is covered but in a pretty extreme exposure environment open to wind, rain, and saltwater air. It used to be wired but has proven incredibly difficult to maintain wires to the location due to the water table, underground...

I haven't bought a camera yet because I want to make sure it and the system will work together first. I guess I'm still unsure how this should work. Are you saying that the Netgear can act as the wireless access point to receive the signal, and then I can run a cable out of the Netgear to the...

Ok gotcha. I should be able to log into the camera and point it to the Netgear then. Is running the Netgear in AP mode what I need to do? God I feel like a kindergartner here lol Thank you for all the help this far, btw

Ok, so I'm not just dreaming here. That's helpful to know. I don't mind buying more equipment (within reason) but was hoping to use what's on hand. Is there something specific I need to look for in a wireless camera? I'm hoping that when I power it up it'll be easy to link to the Netgear but I...

I doubt it will take anything outside of that. I was aiming to run to one of the 8 ports from the Netgear. Is there a way to setup the Netgear to receive the wireless signal from a WiFi camera and pass it to the NVR via copper?

#3 is a cheap brotrends ac1200. It's running to a cheap 5port gigabit switch. #3 is delivering internet to the NVR from an ISP provided router/modem from 2nd floor. This is my parents house so I am trying to get their camera system back to 100% because they are old and crime is really picking...

Yes, they're directly next to one another. In trying to sort this out I currently have the Netgear running as an access point off the bridge.

I think my verbiage is incorrect here. I need to use the netgear r6400 as a receiver for the wifi camera. Can this be done so that I can pull the wifi signal from the camera and deliver it via cat 5 to the NVR?

The title may not adequately explain what I'm trying to do. I'm not the best with networking. I have an NVR (amcrest nv2108e) without wifi. This is in a location without access to a hard line from the router. I have it running on a small wireless bridge for remote viewing. This works fine. I am...

I will definitely keep that in mind. The system tends to need a reboot or two after we lose power or the internet goes down (which is all the damn time these days), so that makes sense.

Update: The NVR suddenly wouldnt pull down the config for camera 2, briefly. I tried again and it succeeded. As per above info I updated the codec to h.265 for both cameras, through the camera web interface. This immediately updated in the NVR and I was able to pull down the config for both...

Yes. I changed the codec back to h264 and the config error resolved, but the tripwire still failed to trigger any alarm. Rebooted the NVR again and got the failed to acquire config message again. I am still looking to see if anything changes during the reboot but so far nothing stands out...

Ok so the smart plan was toggled off. That produced the tripwire on the live view. Idk how because once it was setup the first time I never touched anything again. It's showing up on both the camera and the NVR L. However, in the NVR I go to AI>parameters> and both smart plan and ivs display...

I'm using the ie plugin for chrome, as always for the cameras. I setup the ivs in the camera and it saves it in the settings>event>ivs but does not display the tripwire on the live view (the working ivs camera does display it on live). No idea why the camera seems to not recognize its own settings

Thanks for the help, yet again! I definitely took your previous advice and never updated the ivs stuff on the camera itself until it happened. It worked great until June. Then it just randomly ceased, not long before a firmware update on the nvr. The order of events was as follows: I stopped...

I am not sure what I need to do here to get the IVS back online. I've tried setting it up in the camera and in the nvr. This is the message I get when I go to NVR>AI>parameters>IVS. I'm assuming this is a firmware incompatibility? How do I resolve this? Any help is appreciated!

Early in the month of June my IVS tripwire stopped sending emails. I thought this was an issue with the email account but it appears to be something else entirely and I cannot figure out whats gone wrong. I have a 2nd camera (different model) setup as well, with a tripwire and this has not...

At this stage I have deleted the tripwire and started a new one. Did this in the camera settings itself. When I go to the NVR itself and pull that IVS parameter I get a notification stating remote Ch1 failed to acquire config. So, yeah no more talking to one another about the fancy robot stuff...

Ok, well I think I was barking up the wrong tree here. I dug into it further and the IVS tripwire stopped functioning, although it was still showing the tripwire on the display. I had no alarms / events from that camera any more. Now I have to figure out why they aren't shaking hands anymore so...

Did the test email work with the first 2?

Sorry about the delayed response - work is a thing. Yes that is the source of the instructions I used. 2FA and all that is setup. Test works fine. No emails for alerts.

The wiki is pretty confusing given that I can't seem to find where I'd need to look for this specific issue, and the dahua specific links are empty/dead. I've been using chrome and launching the web app with a plugin that is still working to access them. I wouldn't imagine the ie phaseout...

I'm sure this has been brought up before and I've followed the instructions found on various previous posts on the topic. This seems to be a new problem (at least for me). Until june 3 I was having no issues with receiving email alerts from my dahua NVR. This was setup through gmail SMTP. Then...

That was going to be my next question, thanks! Any rec's for audio out?

I have finally got the IVS events to push to my email. I wound up having to go into the NVR itself to enable the recording an email as smartPSS wasnt pushing to the NVR. Not sure why but I'll take it so long as it is working. I am definitely going to keep pushing further. I'd really like push...

Cool, thanks! I'll dig back in with that info!
