It may well be a fine tool, but first blush its not for the casual home user. Maybe I bailed to early, lets see what others with more patience and experience with VMS have to say
DSS Express Replace the SmartPss

I think Dahua want to discontinue Smart PSS so they can use a subscription model on DSS.
It also would mean home users only have the options of DMSS (mobile) or the NVRs local/web interface.

New versions of SmartPSS and SmartPSS Lite have also appeared on the Dahua official website and you can download them from these links:
Smart PSS:
SmartPSS Lite:
Although honestly SmartPSS seems to me much more reliable and better than the Lite version...

If it weren't for smartPss I would have probably jumped to BI long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if a "lite" version would do everything I need, but I also can't see any reason to switch from what I have, with three exceptions:
1) Event trigger snapshots as done in BI.
2) Better stability (although I just switched to a different version a week ago that could possibly fix this).
3) A linux version.

Last thing I need is a subscription as a service. Back to looking through the software forms.

Where does one find the linux version? Everything I can find says "windows 7 or above".
I never heard this being the case, so you mean I can just run DSS Express client without services?

without server, not without service.
DSS pro will need Server.
This, you still need to run your own PC/Laptop as the DSS Server (Not Hardware Server)

Yes, that is right. It's a computer software. It's name dss express server
No need to add an external server.
You can run SmartPSS Lite with Wine under linux
