I have all my cameras hung (4 Dahuas Turret style) I have them set on my NVR. Things seem to be running fairly nicely. I am curious about setting up tripwires for the front driveway. I really would like to try to find some help on this, and some more information. I am looking for a guide or something. Thank you very much!
Tripwires
- Thread starter Blue65
- Start date
I am just initialized my first 4 cameras as well and set a tripwire on one of them yesterday but haven't checked or tested it yet.
This USA Dahua technical specialist has some nice videos and the one linked to below gives some AI examples. Odd he covers set up using DHCP, P2P, and other settings I'm not using but I think the intent is for users without basic network skills.
One of the v4001.x releases I think but I'm not sure, it might say in one of the comment replies. I haven't used Smart PSS. Is that recommended? The IE browser is how I have been setting up my NVR and cameras.

In theory, But I highly recommend setting events, along with all image and exposure settings on the camera itself. Transferring changes from SmartPSS and/or the NVR to the cameras is usually messy. Use the NVR to make all recording settings, SmartPSS to view and pull video clips.
I get that it is probably best to use each device according to what they are best at, I appreciate the advice. Now when you are setting such events on the camera level, would you login to Smart PSS and setup your tripwires? That might not be the case b/c I can not see where on the camera level you would be able to setup such events.
Mainly, the scenario I would like to try and be aware of now that I have cameras is late in the evening if there is someone on my front property close to the house I would either be notified, and or at least be able to know to go look at the playback on my cameras.

I set Tripwires (IVS) on the camera. You have to enable Smartplan on the camera anyway for them to work. I dont recommend SmartPSS for setting IVS rules
if you don’t have IVS capability on the camera it won’t matter as you can’t add the capability by using SmartPSS
SmartPSS is a great viewer/playback tool

Hi, I am at a novice level, however, I have installed a Dahua NVR system at home and learning how to use it. (NVR system) 1. Turn on INV under smart plan 2. IVS - add Draw your line, where you would like to monitor - save - 3. set your period times - ie I track my trigger from 20:00 pm- 06:00 am - then hit apply - set up an alarm in your phone app (alarm manager) then IVS - cross line
Before you draw anything, click on clear first. Make sure you select draw rule not draw target. You begin drawing by clicking on the area you want to encompass first then drag the cursor along. You will see the lines appear. When you let go of the left click on the mouse the line should stay put on the screen. You can draw intrusion boxes as well by drawing four lines in by clicking and dragging the line across followed by connecting the last line drawn with the first line. It’s a little trivial at first, but you’ll get a grasp of it pretty quickly with a few mistakes in the beginning 
One thing that I worked on last night was updating the firmware packages on all four cameras. I found them all on Andy's page, and that really seemed to help. Before it would not let me draw any lines in the IVS setting no matter how I tried. After I get done with some work today I am going to experiment with some tripwires for the front porch. I am concerned about animals setting them off, now that I think about it more.Before you draw anything, click on clear first. Make sure you select draw rule not draw target.
