    old SmartPSS (v2.003) cannot connect to Dahua NVR starting today, but SmartPSS lite can.

    Thanks for your good luck wish. I will proceed. "Third party" etc are irrelevant to my case. I already stated that I bought from an authorized dealer. They cannot change the terms afterwards or claim I am excluded. That would be contract fraud. "If anything, a class action suit would probably...

    old SmartPSS (v2.003) cannot connect to Dahua NVR starting today, but SmartPSS lite can.

    The AI didnt give legal advice. Someone asked a question about what laws. I looked it up for them and the AI listed laws that could apply to MY situation. Those who want to help - help, encourage, work as a team. We are fighting a corporate giant and need support, not infighting or nay sayers...

    Official FULL SmartPSS Windows & Mac versions from Dahua with working P2P connections and without 64 camera limit...

    Thanks for the time posting a solution and link. For Android/apps, are you aware of any working app like gDMSS, other than DMSS? DMSS is different and annoying, doesnt let me make a list of my favorite cameras in my own order. It always puts higher numbers last. While gDMSS let me make lists...

    old SmartPSS (v2.003) cannot connect to Dahua NVR starting today, but SmartPSS lite can.

    Thanks. [Someone else] asked me and is looking for a modern XVR hybrid (coax and network cameras, doesnt have to have each network port). If anyone can link where to buy a modern Pentabrid (US rebrand), please say. I'm not looking for a payout, I'm looking for a correction (corrective action...

    Thank you. I'll have to look. Thank you lol. I know it is a challenge. But I figure that this forum would be a good start to see who is affected or to gain momentum about our options, since you guys know more. Thank you, this is helpful. Edit: RE to bigredfish: "Where are you? I'm in Florida"...

    old SmartPSS (v2.003) cannot connect to Dahua NVR starting today, but SmartPSS lite can.

    I bought 2 from an authorized dealer on Amazon, who was selling the Dahua rebrands made for the US market. E.g. "Dahua OEM 5-in-1 Pentabrid" "Dahua XVR Pentabrid" So I was led to believe I was buying (paid extra) to get a Dahua authorized OEM NVR. The seller would then forward my questions to...

    https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/old-apps-gdmss-idmss-and-smartpss-2-0-will-stop-support-p2p-from-august-1.77062/ Thank you. I was wondering if someone knew of a notice. So in your post, who do you mean by "people in Dahua Poland?" And how did you get the notice/info? (Did you have to ask, or they...

    old SmartPSS (v2.003) cannot connect to Dahua NVR starting today, but SmartPSS lite can.

    Thanks for the replies. 1. I restarted. And SmartPSS is still disabled! I checked Smart Lite > devices, both show online. But in SmartPSS (org) > both devices are offline. This proves to me that SmartPSS changed/they did something because I didnt touch the NVR of the other location, but both...

    old SmartPSS (v2.003) cannot connect to Dahua NVR starting today, but SmartPSS lite can.

    I forgot what I use. In device setup (SmartPSS PC), I added the SN for 2 devices. Is that P2P or no? One device > Im on the same network > can connect to NVR IP (webpage). But no longer connect on the same network using Smart Old app (while the same computer runs SmartLite > can connect). And...

    old SmartPSS (v2.003) cannot connect to Dahua NVR starting today, but SmartPSS lite can.

    I have many windows computers and android devices. SmartPSS is installed on both. Suddenly they cannot connect to the NVR, but SmartPSS lite (crippleware, they disabled things) and the DMSS app can connect. I cant restart NVR during peak hours. But anyone notice or know if Dahua kicked us off...

    POE camera, can I cut the wire between the cam and Splitter, to add 10 FT CAT6?

    It's even smaller and no way to open (no seams). It looks like this. (I need it light and outdoors for a bird feeder. So weight and cord length (between the barrel) matter. So the 1FT cord > then the barrel, is too long for me.) Can you tell me more about terminating properly? If I cut the...

    POE camera, can I cut the wire between the cam and Splitter, to add 10 FT CAT6?

    Yes, thank you. So in your diagram, the red and blue paths/wires > are (im assuming) inside 1 black cord/wrapping on my camera. So from the outside of the camera, I cannot see any separation between red/blue wires (only 1 black cord feeds into the metal housing of the camera. There are no screws...

    POE camera, can I cut the wire between the cam and Splitter, to add 10 FT CAT6?

    I have a small bullet bare bones POE camera. (meaning lightweight and no housing). It goes from Camera to a 1ft black cord (appears as a normal thick CAT5/6 cord) > to a POE Splitter (a black 1/2 in barrel. ChatGPT said it is a "Splitter" that splits the data and power). At the end of the...

    SmartPSS + Win11 > Cant display "Liveview" on Third Monitor (glitched/vid feed disappears)

    So I was finally able to setup Smart LITE. I have 3 monitors. But the dumb program only lets me make 2 liveview windows MAX. What is this restrictive BS? Which free and modern Dahua cam viewer will let me spawn 3 liveview windows on a PC (specifically Windows11)? (I dont need server or...

    [Solved - POE port went bad] How can I find the IP/network of missing IP cam?

    Also are there any recommendations for a Managed switch with 8 POE (powered) ports + 2 Uplink ports? Im looking for a low cost one. But if you know of a higher cost one that works, please specify if it's low or high. Ty. The defective switch I bought off Amazon. It worked for a few years with...

    [Solved - POE port went bad] How can I find the IP/network of missing IP cam?

    Yes. But [other cam] was still working on a Split line - so I didnt think the line or split was the issue. (And the port light was blinking green the day I posted, but before I posted.) And 3 of those days, I could not get to the ladder to check the connections, do the tests Im doing today :(...

    [Solved - POE port went bad] How can I find the IP/network of missing IP cam?

    Update 4: the [missing cam] port on switch 1 is defective. All wires and splits - inside and outside - still work. So new question: how can I test a POE port to see what is wrong with it? (Is it possible to clean out dust or is it a broken soldering issue due to heat? It shouldnt have dust in...

    [Solved - POE port went bad] How can I find the IP/network of missing IP cam?

    Ty for the reply. I know. Just faster to type xxxxxx. Update 3: FOUND and IP connected to [missing cam]. Cam feed works. It was the wire/line or port (on original Switch 1) that is malfunctioning! [Missing cam] and another IP cam were connected to switch 1, by first using a CAT6 splitter. So a...

    How is ODM able to bypass my pass; and how to disable it?

    Thank you! That worked (and I assumed it was related to that, but didn't want to try without confirm). So the goal of restricting view and settings, has been met :) I have 2 of these cameras, tested on one > Auth = checked (at the cam's webpage, not in ODM). And now all view feeds (from ODM)...

    [Solved - POE port went bad] How can I find the IP/network of missing IP cam?

    Agreed. Thanks for the info. I started with a normal switch (found out it was not managed). So I bought an upgraded switch (to prevent the issue you speak off), but was not able to set it up 100%, had to move around. Thus my lack of memory now. (And my notes of the serials, etc, are on another...

    [Solved - POE port went bad] How can I find the IP/network of missing IP cam?

    Agreed lol :( That's why Im trying to find out what happened, and asking how to close off access (to ODM), then see if I need to question someone. Or the missing camera is malfunctioning (it was messing up months ago, then fixed after a restart). But I cant confirm the issue yet, that's why Im...

    How is ODM able to bypass my pass; and how to disable it?

    Correct. I dont mean ODM can bypass. But I mean which [surprise] camera setting is wrong that allows [ODM type programs] to bypass my view password? In my picture, are any of those checkmarks the fix? I dont know the exact brands of the cams, from China (not Dahua), IP cams, some PTZ, some...

    [Solved - POE port went bad] How can I find the IP/network of missing IP cam?

    1. Can I DM you the info? 2. I don't recall (im thinking this one no), (and I cant get to a ladder atm, but can eventually). 3. It is powered by a POE switch. First I disconnected the cable at the POE port, no fix. Then (days ago) with a ladder, I disconnected the cable at the camera...
