@EMPIRETECANDY I still cannot see the IVS events in the search window as described earlier, what am I doing wrong?
Searching on the time line was one of my main reasons to buy an NVR

@EMPIRETECANDY You are correct it is NVR4208-8P-4KS2, wrong copy paste from order history . But how sould I configure the NVR such that I see IVS events in the seracht timeline?

@bertnl - a number of things have to be set to record and see IVS events on the playback timeline
1- On the NVR set the Schedule and make sure you have both Regular and IVS shown for each day (*also do same on snapshot for IVS and Motion only)
2- On the NVR Set to Record like this
3- On the Camera set Smart Plan for IVS (light bulb highlighted)
4- On the Camera make sure the "record" box is ticked for your IVS rule
5- Now on the NVR PLAYBACK tab you should see colored hash marks for IVS events as well as the green full-time recording
(showing examples from both the new 4.0 dark UI as well as the older "light" colored UI)
*Note use the slider at bottom right to zoom into the timeline

Thanks,
I'm gonna try this.
I changed some schedules , I did not realize that those also had to be configured.

Yeah, the camera decides when to activate an event, but the NVR still has to be told to record it.
Thanks a lot for this great info/
I am still in the config state.
Now in the camera events window on IE I see Videodetection and Smart Motion Detection
I have enabled both but there is a path way pretty close to my fence where people walk with their dog but I do not want to record an event for those people. I only want to see an event if someone crosses the trip wire/ climbs over the fence..
Is it safe to disable that area? or only enable this for a certain area?
in IVS I see I can draw a target what is that for?
I have smartPSS installed but not really tested it yet. Is that also user for configuration like tripwires?

You need to use IVS not motion detection . Smart MD us simply an enhancement to regular MD. Turn them both off and use IVS.
Suggest you search IVS. There are plenty of instructional videos on it.

***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch
IF you have a Dahua NVR with built-in PoE switch... DO NOT follow instructions telling you to use the config tool or switch the IP of your cameras or initialize anything..! With NVR's typically with a -P designation (Built-n PoE switch - example: 4208-8P-4KS2) none of that is required and it...

I have read That post and followed it to configure.
And the help with the event recording helped a lot
just got the idea that smart PSS would make event enabling more versatile

No. Make ALL setup and configuration for image, IVS, etc on the camera itself

Regarding Dahua NVR, once I am viewing a recording timeline, is there an easy way to toggle to the next event (motion, AI, etc.) in the line? I find it a challenge to mouse over to the event an hit it on the head as far as start and stop. Am I missing something?

A couple of ways to make that easier
- download SmartPSS and use that for live view and reviewing/downloading clips- much better than the NVR interface
- on the NVR screen, there is a slider at bottom right to zoom into the timeline
- on playback on the NVR choose only motion and/or IVS recordings to playback. Then it will skip from event to event and ignore the full time recording

By the way, if you don’t use the IE browser you may not see all of the controls on the playback page…

Yes, I'm using smart pss. In smart PSS, no way to zoom on the timeline correct? That would make it far easier to narrow in on a start-and-stop point for an event. And I did also try only having motion events show in the timeline. Anyway to index from the start of one event to the start of the next event?
