Hello,

I have this camera and trying to draw motion detection areas etc. using the camera interface but unable to do so. I click on draw rule but nothing happens when I drag mouse cursor along the picture.

I'm using Chrome on Macbook. Could this be the reason and I need IE for it to work ?

Thanks,

I've figured it out. Dahua Software is pretty much crap on OS devices. I could only kind of sort it out by using Safari :/

Hasn't anyone figured this out? I can't draw any triwires for IVS on my Dahua Cameras. I have tried the plug in for Chrome on Mac and windows. I have tried Safari on Mac. I have tried IE on windows too. Ugh....grrrr

Hi CaliGirl,

Does it work in the NVR OSD? ( or are you using Blue Iris ?)

I don’t use Dvr, sold it, barely worked. Got blue iris and love it. Got Ivs setup to work with internet explorer on windows 10 after lots of troubleshooting.

Also remember that on some Dahau cameras you can not use IVS with H.264+ or H.265+ or smart codex.

Most of the up to date browser will not support pluggins for security reasons.
