    Can DMSS synch multiple cams during playback?

    Has anyone been able to get the DMSS app to synch multiple cameras during playback? I need to review video from 3 cameras and it’s very frustrating because they each have their own timeline and I can’t get them to play in synch. If anyone has figured this out please let me know how to do it...

    Which Security Camera Lens Size Should I Buy?

    Thanks, good info. I’ll have to check out some of his other videos. I almost always choose varifocal cams because I never know for sure where they will end up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can you mix PAL and NTSC analog cams on a Dahua XVR recorder?

    Actually, there was a flicker when I connected up the PAL cams that I originally thought was due to really old coax, but after further review, I found the setting where I could switch the cams to NTSC to match the XVR and the picture cleared up perfectly. Thanks for the help. Now, if you...

    Can you mix PAL and NTSC analog cams on a Dahua XVR recorder?

    I did a test install today of 1 cam and it worked perfectly. The XVR auto switched into PAL for that channel and all cams continued to work. This was very good news. I’ll replace half of them tomorrow, and the other half next weekend, then order 5-6 more from Andy to finish the upgrade and call...

    Can you mix PAL and NTSC analog cams on a Dahua XVR recorder?

    That would be nice. I know the XVR has a choice, I chose NTSC when I installed it because all the old cams were ntsc. When I go into the menu now, I don’t seem to be able to change it. I’d hate to have to reset it to default and start over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can you mix PAL and NTSC analog cams on a Dahua XVR recorder?

    I have a Dahua 16 channel analog XVR that currently has old D1 NTSC cams connected. I ordered some Dahua analog 1080 cams from Andy, which I assume will be PAL. Does anyone know if they will all work together? I’d like to know before I start to replace cameras. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone...

    Dahua DMSS App.

    Is there a way to sync the playback of 4 cams in the new DMSS app? I can choose the 4 cams I want to review, but I can’t find an option to synchronize the playback so that I can skip/play/etc. on all cams at the same time. The time bat at the bottom seems to only work for the currently selected...

    Thanks Andy, Perfect timing as I’m just about to get started on another Dahua NVR and camera install. It’s been a year or two since my last order so I was wondering what the current 24 channel POE NVR model was these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is it a bad idea to shuffle IP cams to different ports on the back of my NVR?

    Yup, it worked fine. I simply shut down the NVR, swapped the cables to the ports in my preferred order and restarted. I also reformatted the hard drive to prevent any weirdness if I tried to review older footage. I still wished the DMSS app let you arrange the cams in the order you want...

    my isp blocks emails from the cam.

    The isp May limit the number of outgoing emails at a time, or the size of attachments. I’ve had both happen to me years ago when I first tried to set up motion alerts, the cam was sending me hundreds of emails with pics at a time which caused an alert and got my port shut down for a bit.

    Is it a bad idea to shuffle IP cams to different ports on the back of my NVR?

    Thanks, I would have paid more attention to the order during install, but, well you know how it goes sometimes. DMSS lets you save a list of cameras in the favorites, but they are always in sequential order and I can’t seem to change that. I expect it would be trivial to include that...

    Is it a bad idea to shuffle IP cams to different ports on the back of my NVR?

    SouthernYankee, I am only talking about swapping them around on the back of the NVR. They are all POE ports. I want to swap the cam plugged into port3 with the cam plugged into port9, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is it a bad idea to shuffle IP cams to different ports on the back of my NVR?

    It’s a Dahua 16 port POE NVR. I can set and save a different order on the console, but not on the DMSS app. The only way I can think of to get the correct order on the app is to switch them around on the back of the NVR. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is it a bad idea to shuffle IP cams to different ports on the back of my NVR?

    Are there any issues with swapping my cameras to different ports to change the viewing order? At the console I can change the order and it stays, but the DMSS app displays them in linear order. I thought I read somewhere that it was a bad idea, but what can go wrong? I’m thinking just power...

    Is there a way to save a default camera order when viewing an NVR? I can bring up the nine cameras easy enough, but they are always in order from 1-9. I can shuffle them to my preferred order, but I can’t save that view. When I restart the app it defaults back to original order. Saving a...

    Will Dahua XVR5116H-X DVR support old 960H, D1, and CIF cameras?

    Hello all, I have an ancient surveillance system with 12 analog cameras, mostly D1 resolution, but some 960H and CIF as well. Yeah, I know they are ancient, and scheduled to be upgraded to IP Cams in the next 6-9 months. Unfortunately, the current DVR just died, and I need to drop in a...

    I’m no expert, but it sounds like you need a DDNS service for the MR1100 so you can get to it every time from the Internet. Does it have a built in DDNS service? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RJ45 crimper and connector suggestions

    I’m an amateur, and don’t put connectors on too often. Investing in the pass-thru tool and connectors has me making cables like a pro. Best investment for networking that I’ve ever made.

    IR, wide diffused or narrow focused?

    That’s kind of why I was asking the question. I want a camera with a less powerful “softer” IR to minimize the hotspot. I don’t need a strong IR to reach far, I want diffused IR to cover a wider area.

    IR, wide diffused or narrow focused?

    Well at least I’m not the only one with this concern. I was wondering if the cameras with multiple IR’s around the actual camera lens might work better than the cameras with only one or two IRs?
