Hello friends,

Does anyone know, is there a possibility to playback SMD recordings on SmartPSS Lite, or any other software that can playback SMD?

Thanks.
 
Yes SmartPSS and SmartPSS Lite both display SMD

You may have to enable the SMD on your NVR as well as your camera depending on the NVR model and version. I just did it using a 5442 fixed camera and an older 5216 NVR and it works on both versions of SmartPSS/Lite

You will also want to verify the schedule under regular MD, the area, and make sure the NVR is set to record MD

NVR I'm using is DHI-NVR2116HS-I (it supports 2 IVS rules human detection, or 4 SMD cameras). My cameras do not support SMD, only basic IVS. SMD Plus works fine on NVR on 4 cameras, I can playback recordings on SmartPSS by checking this area see image smartpsssmd.PNG

The same search button on SmartPSS Lite, says The smart search result is empty!

I did enable SMD on NVR, MD recording, General recording is always on.
 
I got it to work same as Smartpss. Though on the Lite version I dont get the drop down menu to choose from Motion/Human/Vehicle.

  • search timeframe and camera
  • click on timeline to start playback then immediately click the SmartSearch icon
  • that brings up the grid overlay which you choose your coverage area
  • click SS icon again and it searches
  • when done it turns timeline hashmarks lite purple
  • hit main playback button and it cycles through the events

In my case it also picked up IVS as well as plain MD and SMD . I never use it as I typically just review the hashmarks on the timeline...

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, it's not working for me on SmartPSS Lite, but it works fine on SmartPSS, as I cycle through SMD events. Still it is very complicated to sync all cameras while using SMD. I will be looking for a new NVR that supports at least 4 channels IVS, because I have 8 cameras.
 
The trick is to buy cameras that have IVS and do detection on the camera not the NVR. The new AI enabled NVRs may be fine for some limited purposes, but they all max out a number of cameras they support, and cut incoming bandwidth capability in 1/2 in the process. I have a now 6 year old 5216 that works great and I'm not missing a thing not having one of the new EI NVRs.

I found this in the SmartPSS Lite manual. Maybe my NVR doesn't support dynamic images or cameras, I don't know...

Possible, or maybe there's an newer version of SmartPSS Lite?
