    DMSS notification display question

    I do recall reading something about only saving ALL alerts with an account. As in, if I click on “Message” at the bottom in DMSS the only ones that show are the notifications that I actually clicked on, or that happened while I had DMSS open.

    DMSS notification display question

    Does creating an account and logging into DMSS make a difference? I have never created an account with an email address and it’s been years since I used P2P, I only use IP/Domain now

    DH-SD22204UE-GN - tuning tips for day and night

    EIS= Eletronic Image Stabilization If your camera is mounted to something solid no need to be on, as in not on a pole that may move slightly in the wind. Picture Freeze= freezing the display while the camera is moving. I leave it off

    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    They’re great little devices that can be isolated from the internet on their own VLAN and integrated into Home Assistant easily. At the top of my list is the PM “power monitoring” versions which allow me to see when the pool filter needs to be cleaned as well as one on the HVAC system to monitor...

    IPC-Color4K-T and IPC-Color4K-T180 230227 Firmware

    I suppose I missed that, I just saw something about restarting the cam in BI a couple posts up. As well I probably should have added a smiley face or something to indicate I was just being a smart ass.

    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    With the Shelly device one would be setup at the gate to sense the contact state while the other would be at the NVR to change states accordingly. Of course this is assuming there is already a CCTV setup, I think Bruce_H and I may be getting ahead of ourselves

    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    Going to need some more information about what you’re working with but these devices are quite versatile and relatively cheap. Careful though, after TonyR turned me on to them they and other Shelly devices have multiplied faster than cameras around here...

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    Damn I felt pretty good snagging one off the refurb list even if I haven’t installed that one yet. Way to rain to on my parade if that’s all they’re worth :)

    DH-SD22204UE-GN - tuning tips for day and night

    Specs show auto ICR. Does that mean it does have an ir filter and will respond to auxiliary ir light even though it doesn’t have internal lights? I would believe so and these really do make a difference...

    Preventing Animal Triggers on IPC_T541-ZE-S3 AI Cameras

    #2 is what has basically eliminated false alarms for me #1 is the first thing I do after adjusting encode settings, then set an IVS rule since for some reason it always changes camera settings when you enable IVS

    Arjun, where are ya?

    Almost makes me want to get a replacement handle for mine. But who am I kidding, when I’m splitting wood these days it consists of rocking the lever on the hydraulic wood splitter.

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    Not sure when or where I found it but it does have the Dahua logo on the login screen. I really didn't think I had ever updated it but apparently I did at some point.

    PTZ5A4M-25X Tracking issues - Dahua SD5A425GA-HNR

    I doubt it will make a difference for this specific problem but I’ve switched all my cameras to intrusion instead of tripwire. That, along with setting a minimum target size that’s larger than a cat I am 100% confident if I get a notification it’s a person, as well as I’m sure they never miss...

    DMSS notification display question

    While I don’t have an answer, I can say that my 5 series NVR shows the channel number but my 6 series shows the camera name. I discovered this awhile back trying to figure out why I was not getting IVS notifications on the 6 if P2P was disabled. Still haven’t figured that out..

    Notes from the Swamp

    Home Assistant paired with a Shelly Plus 1 allows for endless possibilities. I’m sure there’s a 3-axis gyro sensor that could be attached to the dock to sense movement. May not be able to catch minor hits without false alarms from wind but I bet it doesn’t shake like that during most storms

    How to open a pipe

    In my experience most of the time a pipe is going to have right hand threads. There’s always exceptions to the rule but in general turning the pipe clockwise/righty-tighty threads it into the coupler/fitting. The problem is, as you’re turning the pipe clockwise the other end is essentially...

    How to open a pipe

    Maybe stopping by a hardware store to look at a union would help visualize how they work. I believe it’s been said correctly to turn the top of the nut north, I would also suggest supporting the pipe/fittings on both sides of the nut until you get it broke loose.

    T54IR-ZE-S3 Firmware Upgrade - new features?

    I’ve had good luck eliminating false alarms from cats and other small animals by increasing the minimum target size. The box doesn’t need to be very large, just enough to tell the camera there’s no way a human is that small.

    Dahua NVR - Can I receive IVS Push Notifications on DMSS app via public IP and open inbound ports with P2P Disabled?

    First of all DO NOT PORT FORWARD. There’s no security through obscurity. Changing your port numbers does ABSOLUTELY nothing to hide you from the internet. It’s a nasty place to leave your front door wide open hoping nobody walks by and decides to step in. Do not port forward, use a VPN. If...
