    DSS Express V8 - Does 1-channel license lift the global 2TB storage cap?

    When activating a single-channel license (DSS8EXV) to move from the "Free" to "Licensed" version, does the software still enforce a strict 2TB limit for the entire server, or does it allow 2TB per initialized partition? I have a 4TB drive partitioned into two 2TB volumes that both initialize...

    Stuttering/Blinking Playback on IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE after 2025 Firmware Update (V2.840.0000000.30.R)

    You should consider installing DSS (the successor to SmartPSS). It works perfectly with Windows 11 and is a much more sophisticated and capable tool. https://www.securitycameraking.com/security-product-downloads/

    Stuttering/Blinking Playback on IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE after 2025 Firmware Update (V2.840.0000000.30.R)

    You should connect to the camera’s web interface directly to see if the issue persists there. This will help you determine if the bottleneck is the camera itself or the SmartPSS/Lite software. In my case, the frame would freeze for a second whenever an IVS alert triggered. This happened across...

    Dahua "Smart Dual Light" - is anyone familiar with these type of technology?

    Thanks. About the aperture of 3449H, it is F1.0 (in compare to F1.6 in 5442). I believe it is more suitable for covering a closer distance? Does it less effective concerning its events' detection capabilities?

    Dahua "Smart Dual Light" - is anyone familiar with these type of technology?

    Thanks, I believe one can set the white light to work only when an event occurs in a certain perimeter (well, it depends on the camera). I can see it can also be scheduled to an IR or white (warm light) mode. Here is a link...

    Dahua problem with watching Live streams and recordings that constantly chop on P2P or IP/Domain whether I watch via DMSS when accessed from outside!

    Hi, I want to add a backup WAN to my VPN router (there is a dedicated usb for that). The WAN is of a different ISP (it is a cellular modem stick LTE). Currently I'm using a static IP (router has a VPN tunnel). I believe I must have a dynamic dns for backup to work - right? How secure (safe) is...

    Strange DMSS Notification Issues

    Hi, i'm using a vpn to get my video content remotely. I'm also using push notifications to get the alerts. Does it means that it uses P2P? As far as i understand push notifications are one direction - from my vpn router to outside. Does push notifications consider to have vulnerabilities?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Yes, they do provide it (a list). Their router gives them an indication about the connectivity, but I can't use it with my private VPN router (it doesn't have 'disable NAT' - I believe nor their router). Also, I'm not sure how to configure them to work together.
