Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and have learned so much over the past month or so. Thanks to all of you who help us newbies figure this stuff out. I recently purchased some EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE cameras and a Dahua DHI-NVR5216-EI. We bought the cameras mainly to watch for animals, both for fun and for security. We live in a game reserve in South Africa so we get all of the typical African animals, but from a security standpoint we also want to keep watch for baboons when we are gone. They can be quite destructive, especially if they are determined to get into the house.
After receiving the cameras, I installed the latest firmware I received from Andy (currently on V3.142.15OG003.0.R, Build Date: 2024-12-21), and updated the NVR to the latest version as well. I have both intrusion and tripwire IVS rules set up, and both are setup to trigger for animals, along with people and vehicles. On the DMSS app the people and vehicle IVS triggers come through as they should, however the animal triggers never show up.
Using the search function on the NVR I can find all the IVS animal triggers, and there are dozens of them already just in the past couple days. Both the intrusion and tripwire rules are picking up the animals, just as we had hoped. It's just that the animal alerts are not being sent to DMSS.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Does anyone else that uses the animal IVS triggers get notifications for animals on their DMSS app?
