Dahua IVS events and Search

[EFIBrian]

I am a new owner of 3 Dahua Starlight cameras and a 5232-16P-4KS2 NVR. I have IVS rules setup on the NVR and they seem to be working as I have appropriate events recorded in the log. My issue is, when I go to search and select 'IVS' in the search mask, nothing shows up. The only thing that shows recorded video is when I check 'All', I get green bars in the search slider, but never any orange spots of IVS activity.

Is it...

A) I am mistaken that this is a feature. You can't see IVS events in search.
B) I have something configured incorrectly or am not correctly using the search page
C) This is a known bug or feature waiting to be added

So far, I am super happy with this equipment and very impressed with its feature set. I bought this equipment based on 'nayr's reviews and recommendations. If I could see when IVS events occur in the search page, I would be over the moon with this NVR.

Does anyone one else have any experience with this?

You must make sure the NVR is set to record smart events, please see the below image @nayr posted in another thread.

I had read that thread, but never put together this was the fix for my issue. There was another thread I found where this was asked (along with other questions) about, but never seemed to get answered. I'm away at the moment, and it doesnt appear I can set this up remotely. I'll keep trying, otherwise, Ill try it out when I get home.

Thanks!

I figured out how to set it up from remote management. Now I just need to wait for a trip wire event to confirm its working.

Thanks again Cryptelli!

...and there we have it. It works as expected. I am thoroughly impressed with this system.
