    Antivirus software delays IP-CAM logins

    Nothing like that in Control Panel, Tony, but looking in Internet Explorer/Internet Options/Manage Add-ons, I found an add-on called WebActiveX.exe located in C:\Program Files (x86)\webrec\Torch\4.1.511.0 and published by Zhejiang Dahua Technology CO.,LTD. I eventually found it lurking in...

    Antivirus software delays IP-CAM logins

    Thanks for chipping in, Tony. I've done as you suggest, and located some instructions on how to add a URL to the 'Configure trusted URLs' list. However, that doesn't seem to have done anything to improve matters. I've a hunch that is has something to do with the plug-in Internet Explorer...

    Antivirus software delays IP-CAM logins

    Greetings everyone. I'm getting a bit tired of having to wait several seconds (around 5) each time I wish to log-in to my cameras to make adjustments. I am using the NVR's Dahua web log-in page, (which has no delays) to access each cameras internal settings interface. But when the camera's...

    Dahua NVR Firmware update prevents access to NVR Web Interface inside ONVIF Device Manager

    Just upgraded my Dahua 4104P4KS2 NVR to firmware v4 which has the new HTML5(?) interface and noticed I can now no longer access the NVR web interface inside ONVIF Device Manager itself. I receive the following error: Line: 21 Error: Unable to get property 'viewport-1012-overflowPadderEl' of...

    Text Overlay Transparency issue

    Greetings all, I don't know what I did, but I cannot set my Time/Date and Camera name text info that is overlaid on the cctv preview to appear fully opaque once more. I was changing the camera name using Config Tool, and noticed that all the text had suddenly become fully transparent with only...

    What does the green box do?

    LOL! Glad you're sorted now. BTW, there is the word 'rules' which follows 'display the intelligent', albeit on the next line down. Seems they put the radio button in the wrong place. On a more general note, it is interesting to see that different naming/labelling conventions are used depending...

    What does the green box do?

    What software are you using? If using ONVIF Device manager or the web browser Plug-in, then you need to go to Setup/System/Display (See screenshot below) If using SmartPSS, then you just right-click anywhere on the live or playback image and toggle 'IVS Rule' on or off to suit.

    New version SmartPSS 11/24/17 - snippet hour bug fixed

    Sorry to hear that. Quite painless for me after I realised where I was going wrong. Effortlessly produced a 2 minute MP4 file in no time. I think you may have to unplug your NVR for a minute or two to clear the fault, as I sometimes need to if I've been too assiduous with the software. Hope this...

    What does the green box do?

    Yes I see what you mean. I'll just leave it to do its own thing then and forget about it! Thanks for taking an interest. Nigel

    What does the green box do?

    Actually, I'm now beginning to have my doubts about that tripwire/IVS being the sole reason for generating the green box, as I have just seen live footage of the green box tracking objects outside the motion detection zones and IVS fields. Interestingly, the size of the box changes depending on...

    New version SmartPSS 11/24/17 - snippet hour bug fixed

    Hi Bill. Indeed there is! I couldn't see it as I had zoomed too far in on the timeline. Thanks very much indeed for clarifying that. Kind regards, Nigel

    New version SmartPSS 11/24/17 - snippet hour bug fixed

    Bill, I've now downloaded the new version v.2.02.0 dated 24/11, but still cannot fathom out how to save a clip of anything other than 1 hour long. However mp4 is a saving file format option, as you say. Even when I chose a date/time range to precisely match the segment I wish to export (see...

    What does the green box do?

    Ah. So it's the IVS tripwire being triggered that the green box then identifies the source of the trigger and follows it. In my screengrab, the vehicle had actually tripped Rule 2 and followed it to the point you then see in the image. Anyway, useful to have that confirmed, thank you. Nigel

    New version SmartPSS 11/24/17 - snippet hour bug fixed

    Thanks Bill. It seems that Dahua's own 'ToolBox' software still hasn't caught up with that update I see! Regards, Nigel

    What does the green box do?

    Hi all, When I preview (only) the live image from my cctv, I see a resizeable green box appear whenever an object moves in the image. (See photo attached) Does anyone know what its purpose is and what settings enable/disable it? I'm under the impression it's either a focus point or a facial...

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN) Just thank you

    If Andy both recommended and supplied you with the inadequate injector, then yes, he needs to know that too.

    NVR not automatically overwriting old files

    Hi and sorry for delay replying but have been abroad. Did you have the NVR set to alert you when HDD full? I have now turned that alert off, and the disc continues to function normally. So I guess it's a buggy implementation of the alert facility, and should be disabled if 'Automatically...

    NVR not automatically overwriting old files

    Hi, yes I get all that. But what I didn't get was the Disk Full email alerts I was getting and sluggish access to my recorded files, which also prompted more email alerts. Anyway, it seems to be doing its stuff ok, so I'll continue to monitor with the new firmware to see if those pesky 'alerts'...

    NVR not automatically overwriting old files

    Hi and yes, I have now upgraded the firmware and very pleased to see the new firmware Online Upgrade facility! Let's just hope it works. ;-) I've checked my recordings, and everything seems to be there and up-to-date, in spite of the disk still showing as full in the Storage section with only 14...

    NVR not automatically overwriting old files

    My firmware is 3.212.0000.1 build date 2017-2-24. See my reply to Bramboo above. I agree it would seem unnecessary to set a Disk Full alarm on an overwrite setup. But I wanted to play safe as I'm a complete newby with this stuff, and it wasn't until I started experiencing sluggish access to...

    NVR not automatically overwriting old files

    That would be good, thanks. Incidentally, what Firmware are you using? Mine is the original as supplied by Empiretecandy. (3.212.0000.1 build date 2017-2-24) Is there a newer one somewhere? Cheers Nigel UPDATE: Seems I have found a newer one here: NVR4104/4108-P-4KS2 | Dahua Technology - Dahua...

    NVR not automatically overwriting old files

    Hi all. Got a bit of a weird one here. I've set my NVR (Dahua 4104P4KS2 with a WD 4 TB Purple) to automatically overwrite oldest files when the disk is full, but I'm starting to get "HDD No Space" alerts by email, and video playback of recorded files becomes very sluggish. However, this returns...

    I can't download video files as MP4 on IPC-HDW5231R-Z

    Hi, yes H265 encoding is a bit of a nightmare still. I had to do a cheat-sheet to help me remember what does what! I use VLC and Handbrake to convert my H265 DAV/ASF files, but even then a lot depends on which software you used to export those files with! As you can see, VLC and Handbrake will...

    Dahua Web plugin has stopped working in Firefox

    Mike, have you tried the ONVIF Device Manager (ODM)? ONVIF Device Manager Looks and works very similar to the Chrome/IE Web Service plugins and no need for a browser. IPCamtalk thread here too: Onvif Device Manager v2.2.250 Nigel

    Tamper alert on profile change

    Hey guys and gals, Would anyone know/hazard a good guess as to what might be the reason for my NVR sending me a Tamper Alert email every time my profile schedule changes? I have the Z12 Bullet IPC web server set up to change exposure etc profiles twice a day (at 0600hrs and 2000hrs), but only...

    Web interface issues cont'd...

    That's good to know. Interesting. However, I've checked the uPNP settings in both the NVR and IPCAM web interfaces, and both are showing as Disabled. I'm about to go away again for about a week, so won't have too much time to pursue this line just now. But again, my grateful thanks for...
