Never said I was going to change at this time. BUT, I do have a tool room that I need multiple photos from. Will order new Hikvision cam to address the problem.
If I need other cams or Nvr in the future, it will be Hikvision I think. The email photo option working properly is important to me.
I...
"
so then how exactly will connecting your Dahua cams to a Hikvision NVR change the email behavior of the Dahua cams if you are going to bypass the NVR and send the emails from the camera directly?"
I will only send emails directly from Hikvision cameras. You seem to have misundetood that...
:Just don't be shocked when the AI or some other feature doesn't work and either sends you too many alerts or none at all:
Should not be a problem if I send the emails directly from camera, not NVR. I have 2 other Hikvision cameras doing this just fine now.
"You could always set up an email...
Also, don`t forget. Dahua send 2 emails each time. 1 for alert, then 1 for photo, then I have to click on photo to open. 2 extra steps to see only 1 photo. Ridiculous.
What is wrong with changing manufactures to get what I want? If you want a mustang, you don`t buy a toyota.
Do you have...
Phone alerts don`t work well if you are in the drivers seat or an airplane. But, they are useful if you have the time to pick up the phone. I mostly do not need immediate alerts. Just want to look at photos at end of day to see who has been in. Multiple photos help better with identifying who is...
Not broken, get the same as you. For every motion event I get 2 emals. 1 event email, dont want it. Then another email containing 1 photo which I then have to click on to open. PITA
Wih Hikvision, I get 1 email, containg as many photos as I want. And, they are displayed as soon as i open...
I have just given up on finding a way to make Dahua send me good picture emails. Hikvision will send me 1 email for event with several photos. But, all this can be done from camera of course. So, as long as I can view it with ONVIF, I think it will be ok.
Thank you
Thinking of going back to Hikvision for the better email setup. But, Andy says it is hard to connect Dahua cams to Hikvision Nvr.
Can someone elaborate please?
Yes, Thank You. Got it working in Dahua Nvr. But, it is still as crappy as using Dahua camera emails. 2 emails, 1 email for event, and 1 for only 1 photo.
With Hikvsion, or Blue Iris, I get one email containing several photos.
Sorry, what is SOC again? Thinking of getting one of these for office environment. Understand they might not be great close up? As in, someone siting within a meter of camera might not look so good?
It Works! Your comment about "use that same user/pass in the NVR's ONVIF setup" Got me digging around the settings some more. Found the ONVIF settings in NVR, and also realized I had not changed user name in setup on NVR when I added ONVIF user in camera. Not sure which setting worked, but now...
Yep, been there done that. Tried all 3 user levels, Media, Operator, Administrator. Do not know which one to choose or if it matters?
But maybe you mean something other than putting it in camera at NVR when you say, "use that same user/pass in the NVR's ONVIF setup"? I select the camera in...
My Dahua NVR simply refuses to add my Hikvision cameras. In the photo you can see working 1 dahua, 1 dlink. But even though it can detect the Hikvision., it seems to not accept the password for the cameras. I have tried shorter, and longer passwords.
Any help?
Thank you, Not what I want to do. I still use Blue Iris for my 5 main cameras that I want to display. Just wish I could also do this with Nvr. Maybe the higher end Nvr`s are capable of this? But I am afraid I will get lost in all the other features.
