I am bench testing this camera right now before I install it in its place outside. First impressions are that I like it. I really like the speed of IR -> Color switch at night.
Questions I'm trying to figure out right now.
1) How can I manually turn on red/blue flashing lights from the DMSS App? The first place I tried was the light bulb icon but I get an "Operation Failed" message. I get the same failed message when I click the siren bell icon. These work fine for me from the web cam GUI though.
2) How can I 2 way talk -- From the DDMS App and the camera from outside? Again, tried "Talking with Channel" and "Device Talk" but I only get my audio coming out of the TV/NVR screen.
Caveat, I am ONLY hooked up via the RJ45 plug. Is it necessary to connect those smaller wires associated with with this camera.... to something? Not sure what that would be though.

You only need LAN via Poe or LAN+Power. When you go to the camera to see the live preview, you can turn on the siren and blue light there.
Yup all that works for me via the GUI. Not sure how I can manually trigger those warning lights from the app though.

1.To activate the red blue lights in the app you do use the light bulb on the app. You need to be sure it is "on " in the camera via web GUI or nvr
2 way talk is talk with channel with a NVR and device if you only have a camera. I assume you have the audio on if you hear it on tv.
Make sure volume is up on phone，You can test the audio in the app by selecting the speaker to hear it in the phone

yes that maybe the reason,you can make a try to update, the new update is bit postive than the old versions.
you don't need to use cables...
mic/speaker/siren and red&blue lights - everything is on camera (TIOC-PRO)..
and all function works without problems - from DMSS...

Well I'm stumped.
I am on the latest version of the DMSS App. In the permissions on my iPhone the app has access to my microphone.
Every time I click "Warning Light" I get and "Operation Failed" message.
Every tine I click "Active Deterrence" I get "Operation Failed" message.
When I try 2 way talk, and talk from my camera, I get no activity out of the speaker on the camera. I can hear the natural outside via the microphone when I turn the sound on from live view.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong... it's probably something I'm overlooking...

IPs as in LAN IPs? Like they’re on an external switch?
Why?
If you add the NVR you get them all, integrated, with a single profile/entry
The things you mention must be enabled on the camera first btw

I think I meant when I first setup the new camera I manually add it into the NVR by inputting its IP/user/and pw.
When I set up on the DMSS App I am just adding the NVR.
Can you help me enable these things on the camera because I am flat out missing them. I’ve looked and looked. Maybe it’s so obvious but I’m just not seeing it.
