    VPN Cam feeds works when coming from another wifi doesn't work over LTE

    Hello, I have setup OpenVPN on my router and I try to access it from my iPhone. It works (able to feeds from the iOS app) when I am in another wifi for example when I am at work, cafe or friends home. VPN also connects when I access it using mobile data connection over LTE. But when I try to...

    SmartPSS - always running for IVS?

    I use SmartPSS with the starlight 2mp turrets. Should that be an always running process for IVS to work or only PC-NVR is needed as an always running process.

    PSA: IVS doesn't work in H264H or H265

    This cam business is a strange one. It is 11pm here and I am going on the street strolling in front of cameras to trigger the IVS rules. Thanks @nayr @tigerwillow1 I figured out my mistake at another place. SPSS 2.0 screenshots at IVS:Tripwire - Dahua Wiki helped. So now IVS is working for 264...

    PSA: IVS doesn't work in H264H or H265

    Interesting. On the Starlight 2MP turrets. Please note I am using SPSS 2.0 and setting the IVS from PSS it self. It is able to read the rules that I set from web.

    PSA: IVS doesn't work in H264H or H265

    Update 1: With @nayr 's comment I checked few more things and 264 and 265 work for sure from SPSS. I will check I will H.264H later. I would have delete the thread if possible. I know it would be common knowledge around here but I wasted a lot of time figuring this out the hard way. So if your...

    Special Request

    There is a place on both UIs v3.0 and v4.0 to specify the IP Range you want to search on. After that it searches the cameras way faster, after which you can connect. Never got the broadcast thing to work for me.

    Starlight varifocal turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) Slow response

    I did change the passwords while it was still on the factory coded ip. Totally agree on the basic security practices. Still I don't think I can get Mrs M S to use LastPass or similar.

    Starlight varifocal turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) Slow response

    @nayr - Thanks man. I owe you a beer. Ping next time you are in San Jose area. Configtool fixed it. Also took care of UPnP and made SSH as LAN only. Earlier logs I showed were for SSH login attempts (dropbear) Since port 22 was open on WAN for SSH, fine bots of the net kept hitting the wall...

    Starlight varifocal turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) Slow response

    @Fruit - you might as well be true. I have been seeing massive requests for ssh login in my router logs. Here is a sample Feb 22 14:12:36 dropbear[21472]: Login attempt for nonexistent user from 185.15.144.111:62369 Feb 22 14:12:36 dropbear[21472]: Login attempt for nonexistent user from...

    Starlight varifocal turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) Slow response

    Good idea. Thanks. No dropped packets but some slow packets among the mix. Here is the report after few minutes of run Ping statistics for 192.168.0.201: Packets: Sent = 540, Received = 540, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 1ms, Maximum =...

    Starlight varifocal turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) Slow response

    I have got 2 cameras on the same POE switch and being accessed over wifi in a similar way. I am accessing them directly from their web interface on IE. One of the camera is quite responsive and the LIVE screen or any other screen/webpage comes up in a very responsive manner. On the second...

    NVR Channels question

    Let us say I have an NVR with 8 channels and I already have 8 cams connected with it. Now I need to connect 2 more cams. Is it possible to connect a 4 port POE switch with the existing NVR and have the cams connect to this POE switch which then writes back to NVR. So in a way POE switch provides...
