1/1.2" 8MP Varifocal

Frankly I use Smartpss 99% of the time. The AI search is handy if you have a buttload of events and need to see say 50 white cars to find one “bad guy white car” when you have no rough timeframe.

But for day to day, I just zip through my IVS events on SmartPSS each morning over coffee to see what tripped overnight.

If I need to search for a specific event that happened at 3:34pm involving a vehicle crash, I don’t need to look through 6 cameras that face the canal and backyard.
Pretty easy to narrow it down. When you have an idea what you’re looking for and a rough timeframe.

You’ll find over time you lose the need/urge to know about every vehicle/bycycle/human/possum that trips an event everyday.

I have 3 cameras that are critical entry cams. I get real time alerts and an email from them.
On the other 9 cameras, if I need to see something I can always go look. If it happened more than a week ago, I probably don’t give a shit.

This is a N54B3P12 on the latest firmware available to it. Maybe that one doesn't have export capabilities. I've tried the browsers, and I usually just use Pale Moon.
 
I don't know the US model #s but if its the older dark gray GUI there are a few tabs where you will NOT see all of the controls without IE or Edge in IE mode. FYI

Playback/Search tab is one

Firefox, Chrome, Pale Moon, then Edge in IE mode

I'm just tired of fighting with the Dahua stuff. Use this browser for this, plugin for this, this app on this phone for some things, this app for that. I've had 20 something cameras for these last 11 years that I search through for things like, "we had a customer pick up something last Wednesday or Thursday in a brown SUV, probably at this yard next to this warehouse. Can you send us footage of that?" Or, "we need to see how many bags of this was loaded on a delivery truck last Tuesday. It was probably loaded outside somewhere in the middle of yard 2. And it was covered with a tarp after". I'm ready for something easier. When I saw what I could do with Protect from both the App and the browser, I was excited. ...now, if only I can get better night vision, for when someone breaks in to steal catalytic converters from trucks parked out in a lot.
 
I know I'm polluting the thread, but here's a 4K camera that sees in the dark and doesn't need any wires pulled for it. Definitely fulfills the easy button!

- Solar Camera Outdoor Wireless
-4K Security Camera with Solar Panel
-Face Recognition AI
-Nighttime That's as Bright as Day
-Captures exceptionally detailed surveillance footage in every frame
-Offering day-like image clarity even in ultra-low light conditions
-Dual motion detection system, combining radar and passive infrared (PIR)
-Aperture: F1.0
-Field of View: 135°

Even if all of this were only half true, aren't we wasting our time with Dahua gear?
