Smart Motion Detect (SMD) help Setup

[warthog99]

Hi,

I have the Dahua B52B2P NVR which is supposed to support Smart Motion Detect (SMD)
I have 3 N82AL32 8MP dome cameras

Regular motion detecting works, but there are too many false alarms, so I'd like to enable SMD

I've been trying to enable the SMD function in my NVR, but keep on getting the message
"Channel1 does not support configuration search or modification"

I have enabled the "Smart Plan" lightbulb in the AI section of the NVR

Any help/thoughts to get the SMD working would be greatly appreciated.

The best way is to get into the camera GUI. To get into the camera GUI, you need to first access the NVR GUI by going to a computer and opening up a browser (preferably Internet Explorer but Pale Moon will work as well) and type in the IP address of the NVR and login that way. Next go into the camera settings page on the NVR and look for the Microsoft e Web Browser and select it and it will go to the camera GUI (photo credit bigredfish from his PSA thread). Your screen may look a little different to get into the camera gui and see if doing it this way gets you access to some other features the NVR is blocking - do not worry about the Port number and circle as that was from another issue someone posted.

Simply select the blue IE icon and it will go to the camera GUI and from there you can set the camera parameters.

thanks wittaj. very helpful, esp. the tip about using Internet Explorer
I can't connect to one of the cameras using Chrome, but it works fine with Explorer

However, I still can't find anything in my camera settings about enabling SMD - arrgghh
maybe I'll try to use IVS instead

That camera is from their Lite series, which means functionality is stripped and less than ideal MP/sensor ratio is used to keep the costs down.

At quick glance it appears that camera doesn't support SMD since the camera doesn't have AI capabilities.
