Thanks you! I think that is what happened to mine. I logged in via the web interface, found the verification message (a couple of weeks old by now) and clicked through. All is working now. I appreciate your help.

My email problems returned! Just to add to the story, my newly created Outlook.com email account worked only about one day before it too quit sending emails. To summarize, 1. I started with a gmail address using SSL. It worked for months, then stopped. 2. I changed to TLS and changed port...

Let me affirm this recommendation. Great prices, quick delivery. I have not needed his support, but all reports from others are very positive. He is an active participant here.

I went through exactly the same steps you did, and nothing worked until I created an outlook.com account, TLS, port 587, which worked. Other thoughts: Be sure your GMail is not out of storage. All these emails are kept in your Sent folder, and the images can exhaust our storage. Solution...

First one thing that worked for me before: make sure you have adequate remaining storage in Gmail. One time I had my DVR stop sending via GMail when my Sent mail exhausted my storage. Deleting most sent mail and emptying trash got it working again. HOWEVER, the problem has recurred -- alerts...

Thanks so much. Finding the low bandwidth setting addressed my immediate problem, but I am filing this away. I much appreciate your help.

Thanks. I will check this out when I get home.

I do not see a Low Bandwidth setting in my TinyCam Pro app, newly downloaded on Firestick. The app does not list my camera model; I selected Dahua, IPC-HDW4830EM-AS. The only options are Camera status Enabled Camera name Camera brand Camera model Hostname/IP addres Web port number Protocol...

Changing the channel number from 1 to 2 or 3 just loses the video signal. Is the "rtsp address" the port number or something else? While logged into the camera, I see the port number is listed as 554, which is what I have entered in TinyCam Pro. Is the port number what I should change, or...

I have installed Tinycam Monitor Pro on an Amazon Firestick. I am using this to continuously monitor two Dahua Starlight series cameras, the Starlight Fixed Lens Turret (IPC-HDW4231EM-AS) and the Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z). All is working, but I would like to switch the...

Thanks for the link to the latest version. That installed smoothly. Yes, I extracted the executables on the earlier versions. It was an odd problem. The executable obviously launched, as the window came up with nearly identical contents to the installation tutorial. The only things missing were...

I am installing my first wired camera system. When trying to install SmartPSS, the first page of the installation process comes up, but the window displays no "Next" or "Cancel" buttons. I see such buttons on the corresponding page of the instructions at SmartPSS/Install Smart PSS - Dahua Wiki ...

May I add that it is the absolute humidity, not the relative humidity, that is important when you seal the camera? Sealing the camera at 90 degrees F and 50% relative humidity is worse than sealing at 65 degrees F and 70% humidity. If you seal it up on a warm day with moderate humidity, the...

I have been researching my first IP camera system. I am looking at an external switch. Using a self-contained NVR with internal switch will mean that changing its location would be difficult down the road. By using an external switch, I can place the switch any location that makes the most...

Bear in mind that during certain seasons your HVAC will not be running -- or will be heating. If you need cooling, it may need to be something independent of your house system.

Thanks so much. Exactly what I needed to know.

Thanks very much for the replies. It looks worth it to go with managed switches. ChooChooMan74 suggested the Zyxel 8 port switches, which are both managed and fanless. I think this 8 port switch is the right model. As best I can tell, all 8 ports are POE. Am I correct that I can use two of...

I am planning my first IP camera system. Thanks to all the advice in response to my previous post. I plan on using a Dahua NVR with an external 16 port POE switch. Is there any reason to get a managed switch, or for this purpose is an unmanaged switch sufficient (and perhaps easier)? Any...

I really like the idea of the fanless switch. Is the POE 1-4 splitter needed only if I run out of ports on the switch? Do you think there is enough power on this to handle six turrets? I think one word of your post got eaten by the internet: "make sure you change the ___. " What do I need to...

Yes, this is a one story with a full basement. At one end, the basement has above-ground windows, so that end is more like a 1.5 stories. Wall mounting may be the best approach, especially at the high end of the house. My walls are brick. Which of these mounting boxes would you recommend: Wall...

Thanks. I will definitely use the box. I think I understand your description of rotation, but please let me confirm. Discussing rotation about three axes is hard to put into words! Attached are two images: 1) an original downloaded from the web and 2) a photo I doctored with the camera...

Wow. Thanks to everyone. This really helps Thanks for the suggestions on dedicated monitors. Great options. I will go with the non-POE Dahua NVR. Thanks to ChooChooman74 for suggesting that. That will save money, and I assume it will be quieter, too. The fanless switches are a great discovery...

I am new to this site. I appreciate the wealth of knowledge and information this group provides. I want to purchase and install my first wired camera system for my home. I have spent three weeks doing my homework, but would appreciate a bit more advice. I am looking to replace my four-camera...

I have been reading this forum for a few weeks and appreciate the expertise that members so willingly share. I am looking to buy and install my first wired security camera system and will be posting a separate thread with a few questions I still have after all my reading here. I currently have...
