    Dahua IVS setup "Working Period" - Can't Edit?

    Hmmm. I'm actually using Firefox because I had read Edge & other chrome based browsers didn't work for IVS setup. I don't know if IE can still be downloaded (I never liked or used IE to be honest). I have been able to setup tripwire and intrusion on FF, btw. I notice that your screencaps...

    Dahua IVS setup "Working Period" - Can't Edit?

    It is connected to a PC running Blue Iris. Also, I do have an SD card installed to see if that had any effect (it didn't). Seems like simply bad or buggy UI to me. The reason I say that is because the uneditable "schedule" only shows SUN enabled, but the IVS event triggers BI and recording...

    Dahua IVS setup "Working Period" - Can't Edit?

    I'm in the learning phase with several cameras purchased recently. The same issue is seen on both T5442TM-AS and 2431T-AS models I have: When setting up IVS there is a field for "Working Period" that looks like a schedule. It shows SUNbox in red with it's box checked & grayed out. I can check...

    CPU setup for getting started with BI ?

    Thank you. I will grab new RAM (it's a MSI "budget gaming" mobo with only two slots, both populated with 4 GB modules). BTW, yes (4) 5442 cams and 1 mini PTZ for watching the dog, lol).

    CPU setup for getting started with BI ?

    I'm a recently joined member who's spent lots of time reading threads about cameras, nvr software and network considerations. As I am putting together my initial foray into this endeavor I'd like to run my current plan by others. I'm starting out with 5 dahua cameras from Empiretech - all 4...
