    Dahua + Synology Surveillance Station : Missing options

    My solution to this problem is to use the Onvif profile instead and do not give the Onvif any admin rights to make changes. Synology will shutdown the camera if using a Dahua profile with a non admin user when it attempts to update settings and fails but with Onvif it is expected to not be able...

    EmpireTech PTZ425DB-AT PTZ stopped working and no image in camera web page

    Well if he hadn't already resolved the issue on his own without using IE it would have been update the firmware and use Edge or Chrome since that works fine with this camera.

    EmpireTech PTZ425DB-AT PTZ stopped working and no image in camera web page

    You know what even easier and simpler using the much more secure modern browser you are already using... The joke is on me? Whats your firmware version, my came out of the box working without plugins just like my T54IR-ZE-S3's, no object tags found:

    EmpireTech PTZ425DB-AT PTZ stopped working and no image in camera web page

    This is part of my point, you immediately tell him its plug-in issue when this camera doesn't have any and the poor guy is confused. Are you sure about that even with the newest firmware and cameras? Based on the framework they are using its going to get harder and harder to keep IE support...

    EmpireTech PTZ425DB-AT PTZ stopped working and no image in camera web page

    Nice judgmental assumption there, I replaced my 10 year old 720p bullets with IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3's last year big upgrade, recently added the 425 PTZ works great for the price and while the night performance is not as good due to the sensor size, its not that bad, can't beat the form factor and cost...

    EmpireTech PTZ425DB-AT PTZ stopped working and no image in camera web page

    We are talking about cameras right? I have found no function in mine not supported by Edge/Chrome with the new firmwares that don't use plugins. My guess on the NVR based onto screen shot is they used a plugin for the timeline with IE because that used to be really hard to do back in the day...

    EmpireTech PTZ425DB-AT PTZ stopped working and no image in camera web page

    Yes it is a myth with both this camera and the IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3, you are running the OP around talking about how the plugin for this camera needs IE, there isn't a plugin for this camera in at least in the last two version of the firmware. All function including IVS tripwire setup etc are...

    EmpireTech PTZ425DB-AT PTZ stopped working and no image in camera web page

    I have a PTZ425DB-AT with the latest firmware and its works great with Edge including all PTZ and IVS setup functions, I even configured it with Safari initially no problem but the live video feed tends to not always work and just show black screen, get the same thing on Synology. Edge or any...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    Again super easy to verify what camera is detecting by using the alarm UI it will tell you the alarm type, go outside and walk in front of the camera with that turned on:

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    I did have one spider hanging down in front of a camera once that triggered SMD human detection, but reviewing the video I mean it really kinda look like a more distant person waving their arms around since it was using two legs together looking like two arms and two legs. So I couldn't blame...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    Yet basically every post here describing how to setup intrusion says something like this from earlier in thread, that nobody corrected: So where are the docs that describe exactly what intrusion does and how it should be setup from Dahua? Space around edges or no space? Appear or no Appear...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    Just as a side note since wittaj got me curious as to what Dahua is using to develop their web app now with the new UI, looks like they are using Ant Design as their web app framework, hard to tell which version since its all web packed up and I don't feel like digging further. Makes sense as...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    Thats great, so how much border in pixels do you leave around intrusion boxes and how many zig zags do you draw? Whats the trick to get AI to not lose lock on a parked car does it need a certain amount of light? Seemed like it was worse with my parked RV thinking it was a car sometimes, was...

    5442 S3 series cams and SMD

    My 5442 s3 cameras work perfect with SMD you just have to make sure normal motion detection is setup right so it doesn't also trigger. What I have found since the documentation is non existent or wrong is that if you just want SMD without normal motion events you need to have normal motion on...

    buying IPC-HDW5442T-ZE-S3 and synology

    Notice how Human and Vehicle are SMD, when I tried it before IVS events didnt have in metadata searchable for vehicle or person (or now animal). On top of that to get those IVS events you must give Synology admin access to the camera and it will overwrite your settings when it feels like it. SMD...

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    I forgot about some of these issues when trying to setup IVS with Synology before and ended up back on SMD, which I just went back to again after attempting to get animal detection working. The Dahua / Synology combo is an exercise in frustration mostly from Dahua and its crazy undocumented...

    buying IPC-HDW5442T-ZE-S3 and synology

    That was me, the issue is animal detection only works with IVS and IVS only works with Synology if you give it admin access to the camera and use a Dahua profile. The problem with giving it admin access is mentioned by the TheOtherMike, Synology will overwrite your camera settings, and it will...

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    I find the Dahua AI decent at identifying stuff, it's simply a mess in configuring with odd choices throughout and limitations like no animals until recently, but only in IVS not SMD or why is SMD and IVS two separate thing to begin with??? How about I setup AI detection, draw the zones of...

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    My issue with BI is more about it requiring Windows, I no longer wish to maintain a windows system for anything important, I am trying to simply my life in that respect, I have done that sort of thing for many years and made a good living doing so, I don't wish to do that at home as well. If BI...

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    Nothing is common sense with Dahua settings, is Accupick required, will that trigger motion events? Will it trigger IVS events, no its something else but depending on the UI you use it might be required to be on before other options show up... Whats the difference between SMD and Accupick and...

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    What other VMS supports the IVS onvif events? Seriously curious because all you guys talk about is Blue Iris. SMD worked great for false alerts just doesn't support animals like IVS now does. Scrypted/HKSV works great just need to make sure you are using motion only and then you Apple TV does...

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    Yes complicated and running on Windows ins't for me anymore, been there done that. Compare: With Apples approach: Yes I prefer the simpler approach, I think most residential / homeowners would. The only reason I know ODM exist is due to the numerous post posts on this forums tell...

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    Sounds like a specific setup to me, geez come on guys, this isn't complicated, send a motion event if a person vehicle or animal moves in the cameras FOV, I don't care about vehicles that are parked or making sure my zigzag tripwires work or whatever other undocumented nonsense needs to occur to...

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    It's not just Synology, Scrypted is the same, IVS does not send Onvif motion events it sends more specific analytics events that most onvif software will not treat as a motion tigger, Blue Iris requires specific setup to look for those events. Synology actually supports IVS directly with Dahua...

    S3 animal detection

    Bummed SMD does not also have an animal checkbox now, IVS doesn't work with Scrypted or Synology in Onvif since they are not Onvif motion events and I found SMD to work very well in just telling me if a vehicle or person is moving in the FOV vs IVS being finicky with trip wires and intrusion...

    Motion Detection/SMD Questions/Issues

    Be aware that using IVS vs SMD will not generate standard Onvif motion events, this prevents it from triggering alerts in other software that expects motion alerts but doesn't understand the other various IVS onvif events such as Scrypted for HomeKit or Synology when using Onvif instead of...
