My Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-Z starlight variable focus unit crapped out after a two years of service. The IR lights are illuminated at night so I'm a little miffed whats going on. I checked the record, and at about 6am on a random morning the video recording feed sputtered out, went intermittent and...

Do you use a single trip line? Any zig/zag multi line setup ?

I find it hard to believe nobody out there has a good collection of tips!

Had to reflash to an earlier version of Android. This fixed the problem!

yeah.. its just a badly programmed app. I dumped the system logs. here's the crash report.

Hi Kevin, I uploaded a screenshot. When adding a new camera network (I cleared all my settings after all), immediately after pressing 'start live preview' the app will crash without fail. both lite and plus versions crash at the same time. Even when I add incorrect or nonsensical information...

Hi all, After updating to latest $5 gDMSS Plus app for android (dated Jan. 9 2018 via Google play store), I can no longer receive push notifications or even view my cameras! I clear all settings, uninstall/reinstall, nothing helps. Is anybody else having these issues? Get it together Dahua...

Hi everyone- On an unrelated topic, I recently completed a system update for my Google Pixel 2 android phone. Now gDMSS plus or lite do not work. I no longer receive push notifications and if I try to add a new network or reconfigure existing network, the app will crash. My GF has the same...

Hi everyone, I wanted to start a thread where we discuss ways to configure IVS for highest reliability. Right now I have issues of many false alarms triggered by: - Fog at night - Rain - Rapidly changing cloud cover - Reflections from car lights - Wind blowing in trees, bushes. - Porch light...

I'm confused at the purpose of a Raspberry Pi if you can just maintain a secure connection directly to your router via OpenVPN, unless you don't have a router in this equation. For my setup, it seems like the Pi and router would have the same job. Spudz, you're gonna have to wait for the...

Don't know how I missed this thread in my searching: Dahua NVR/ gDMSS getting to cameras from internet Looks like I need to double check these functions and confirm back: - UPnP disabled - P2P functionality - Port forwarding disabled - Easy4IP Damn... I really want to get push...

Hey folks, Thanks to all the helpful messages on here, i'm 95% online with my new camera setup. Wiring diagram attached, if you're curious, not that it really matters here. Just need to mount them outside and run wire and i'm done. Spent some time diagnosing a bum router, but i'm past that with...

For anyone looking for VPN information, thread here: VPN Primer for Noobs

Thanks, will do. I want to make sure I have every safety measure in place. My first pass at port forwarding is already successful. Wow, so much wasted time for a bum router!

Ok guys, i had a breakthrough. I changed two things and now i can successfully access it from any computer via http://192.168.0.200:8000 I replaced my router (old TL-WR841N) and got a TP link AC1200 w/ gigabit ethernet ports. And I removed a wireless range extender from our house. PHEW!! Now...

For what its worth, when i check ports 80, 8000, 37777 on www.canyouseeme.org, I get "Error: I could not see your service"

Ok, trying some other options. When I enable the DHCP option on the NVR (screen shot), then it pops up on my DHCP list at a self assigned address 192.168.0.110. Still not accessible via the http://192.168.0.110:8000 (or any other port for that matter). I can manually assign the NVR IP to a...

SantiagoDraco, -I've tried to access my NVR address (http://192.168.0.200:8000) via several computers, all with local machine DHCP wifi address starting with 192.168.0.X (x being 100 through 104). -I think your right with regard to the NVR's own camera subnet (10.1.1.x). Can someone confirm...

Hey everyone - I have a new cam system for the lady so she can sleep well at night. I promised her it would send push notifications to her phone when movement is detected. So far i've failed miserably and only managed to waste 6 hours of my life :p After lots of searching i'm here...! What I...

Thank you for orienting a major noob like me :) I will read up!

Hi everyone- Looking to buy Dahua hardware for my first home security project. Primary needs: - 2-3 cameras - Zone activity detection for anyone entering special zone WITH push notifications to Android / IOS - 1 HDD is fine. I wont be doing full time recording. Mainly for peace of mind and to...
