    Which nvr??

    Buy from Andy. He will do you right and will answer any questions you have. I've bought 2 NVR's from him and 11 cameras. I have an NVR without the built in POE. I use 2 switches for my needs. One advantage to using external switches is you might encounter a bad POE port on the NVR. It's...

    DMSS App and IOS 26

    Before I update my iPhone to IOS 26 (the latest) can anyone confirm if the latest version of the DMSS app works fine with it? How about the WireGuard App? Thank you

    Tinkering around with image quality. Is AI SSA recommended or not?? I'm currently on Customized Scene but I could be persuaded one way or another. Settings are largely untouched from default.

    But isn't it odd that in the NVR GUI is still says the System Version is: 3.210.0002.2 and the Build Date is: 07-21-16? So why is it acting weird if its still showing the same information?

    The NVR always defaults to 192.168.1.108. My cameras have remained unchanged. Thankfully.

    It's my best guess, honestly. :idk: I am logging into the NVR, not from the web gui, but from the NVR software itself. I re-setup from the wizard, start adding cameras again (because they were all removed), and the screen freezes. I can't do anything. The NVR eventually force restarts. The...

    Well shit. Just my luck. I took a picture beforehand of my version number in the GUI and it says: System Version: 3.210.0002.2 Build Date: 07-21-2016 :poop: To those who actually need help with the Color4M-T camera I apologize for hijacking this thread. This all kinda went from one thing...

    I'm at witts end now... tried both versions and they both failed to upgrade. Tried updating thru configtool as well as USB. Went thru the upgrade process and at the end it resets my NVR. No visual update look and no updated version number after re setting up. :mad: Looks like it might be...

    Does it matter if I grab the firmware from the link you provided or from EmpireTech’s website?

    Do these commands run thru the NVR? My firmware is old and hasn’t been updated. Really don’t know if that would matter in this situation? My NVR 16 channel (5216-4KS2) is a non POE version so my cameras are all on switches.

    Just checked and the settings you mentioned were already set at is. Audio was enabled, One click disarm enabled, disarm by period disabled. Edit: not sure why I can't post an attachment but take my word for it, those settings were as you mentioned.

    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...

    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...

    Do I even need to use the audio in/out rca plugs and the small wires for alarms? I should still be able to 2 way talk from the app and use alarms/lights without using those other cables right?

    Well I’m still using the older version of the app so maybe that is part of my problem? I’ve been hesitant on updating for whatever reason.

    Yup all that works for me via the GUI. Not sure how I can manually trigger those warning lights from the app though.

    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...

    I am having some difficulty getting this camera to switch over to B/W IR at night time. I don't know if I have it set right in the settings but this is how I have it right now. Right now I am using "customized scene" with the highest sensitivity. When I make and save the changes I can get...

    Sure seems like audio alarm is clearly better. Can this be triggered manually via the DMSS app? Specifically this camera in this thread? I would hate for this to trigger on a non trespasser at night. Also, if there is a better camera than this threads I am open to hear it.

    Perfect. What about white leds coming on during ivs intrusion/tripwire event? Would love for camera to switch from IR and into white led light. To act as deterrence and attention getting by looking into the camera.

    I am looking to replace a HDW5231R-Z turret camera on my front door. I am looking for good IR and the option to have white led’s turn on by motion as a deterrent and attention seeker (bring face looking at the camera). The flashing red and blue lights look like a nice option for an alarm...

    I have a HDW5231R-Z that I might replace with this camera. With the 5231 camera, I’ve got a weatherproof junction box. Pretty sure it’s this one that’s attached. Does anyone know if the T54IR camera will work with this box?
