DMSS notification display question

[Chase]

Does anyone know if there’s a way to have the camera name I set display instead of “Channel 6”? I’ve searched all over the app and NVR but maybe I’m missing this somewhere.

If there is I haven't found it

I thought that was something to do with having a cloud account with them - which I dont do. So like you I put up with it.

While its turned off, I do have a Dahua account. I found there was no upside to using it so I logged out and have never logged back in.

But as the data and push message is coming from the NVR (or camera) I dont see how having a Dahua account would change this particular issue

Yeah I wondered if it was some sort of channel to name mapping that happened there when the push was sent.

Are the channels named something in the NVR? Are the cameras directly connected to the NVR or using an external switch?

Mine are named, as they show up in the DSMSS app as a channel name (and that is populated from the NVR). It been the behaviour since push notifications were added

While I don’t have an answer, I can say that my 5 series NVR shows the channel number but my 6 series shows the camera name. I discovered this awhile back trying to figure out why I was not getting IVS notifications on the 6 if P2P was disabled. Still haven’t figured that out..

The channels are assigned names from inside the NVR. The cameras are connected to external switches.
