I've just tested this firmware and I seem to be getting a similar issue as you when watching IVS clips via iDmss app. It seems viewing the playback "image" via the iDmss app doesn't play per frame by frame but the "Playback" works though. Have tried resetting all default and same results...have...
Excellent review Looney. Always love your reviews + videos. You're such an amazing person.
Just wondering, can someone refresh my mind on 1/1.8 and 1/2.7 sensors? is the 1/1.8 sensor better for night shots? totally forgot how it works.
Nicely done. I haven't got a PTZ camera before but can anyone explain the idea behind PTZ cams? I assume the motion detection for PTZ cams are different to bullet/regular cams as it constantly rotates in 360 degrees to detect action?
@EMPIRETECANDY Can you please confirm whether the given direct link from @Reimo is the official firmware link for the NVR408-8P-4KS2? The link seems to be from Dahua France..
Thanks ;)
Nice review Biggie:cool: . Still unsure how I missed this review of yours haha. I love the images and test results. May I ask, during night, do the cameras get a glare? I notice "some" dome cameras can get glare/possible sun glare and slight distortion.
Not sure if you've updated but the "4.0 AI NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000001.3.R.191016.bin" is still the latest firmware for the NVR408-8P-4KS2 series ;)
Hey guys,
Good news: SMTP is now working. Looks like outlook is only the acceptable email (compared to Gmail and Yahoo),.
However, I don't know how to get the Dahua NVR to send videos. It is currently only sending photos. May I get someone to help me on this? Thnx
Me too. I'm having this problem as well. I also tried adjusting the NVR's time and make sure the ipc time sync is enabled but it just reverts/doesn't hold the correct time...
Update: I've also noticed that my time is correct. Even when manually editing the time, it won't remain saved... oh and I'm not gettting any timezone for GMT only UTC...
Hey Ali,
Long time no talk,
I've finally just changed my cameras ip in the range used on the LAN with NVR and Cameras factory resetted. It took a few attempts to get this done as I'm still a beginner on this networking stuff but glad it managed to change ip.
However, the bad news is, I am...
Hey Cam,
Nice name. Sounds catchy haha. Hmm, you got a point there. Looks like I'l give this a shot in a few days since I need to borrow a ladder due to my NVR being up in the attic...arghh the struggles...Will report back in a few days. Hopefully your method works ;)
Hey @Dramus and @looney2ns , thanks for the reply/help.
So I followed @Dramus pdf instructions and was able to use the "forgot password" function located in the signup/login section in "SmartPSS" and successfully resetted the password to a new one. However, when I tried to access my NVR using...
Oh shoot, thanks for pointing that out haha. If you're reading this @EMPIRETECANDY, keep enjoying your New Years. Catch ya on Feb 8th.
Though, @Dramus , do you have any suggestions on how to fix up this issue?
After factory reset, I tried to enter the NVR page using the Configtool and entered: username: admin pass: the original pass I set it with. It says incorrect. Tried entering 123456 as password nothing works and have tried making both password and username as 888888 and still unable to enter... 2...
So I'm on Control Panel > network and internet > network and sharing center > click on my wifi SSID connection on the right side > Details : This reveals my network connection details such as ipv4 address, ipv4 subnet mask and ipv4 default gateway abd dhcp server and dns servers etc.
Whatever...
@alastairstevenson and @usaf_pride . Hey guys. So I have found the instructions to modify the cameras IP address (https://dahuawiki.com/Camera_Troubleshoot/Change_IP_Cameras_IP_Address). However, I don;t know how to check my "LAN ip address". Look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks
Is anyone able to guide me/explain the progress to me in a understanding way? I have never tried to change the IP address before.. maybe @usaf_pride is able to haha? Honestly, happy to try @alastairstevenson method out but am having trouble doing so unsure the process and unsure how to begin.
Hey man,
Thanks for the reply.
I just factory re-set my cameras (took a while haha). Problem still continues...
I'm trying to download NMAP to do your method but when I download > install, there doesn't seem to be an app on my desktop....I tried opening the exe one in the program files and it...
That's one way only. Into the cameras, but not out of the NVR. Either way, it doesn't fix his issue as the NVR should be sending the emails, not the camera. It's three easy steps: - correct. My NVR is able to successfully send the test emails to my email that I set up with. Though, IVS triggers...
Hey Usaf,
Sorry for the late response. Just came back from business trip..
The test message from the NVR to the email does indeed work with a success green text :D. Routers firewall is disabled since first received.
Regarding the NMAP tool, I'l do that when I get back home (dinner at the...
Hi Ali,
Sorry for the late response. Just came back from business trip..
Anyways, my Dahua NVR's Virtual host is indeed enabled :D. My connection is a DHCP not Static (using fritzbox).
"You can also prove out the email configuration on the camera if you power up the camera when connected to...
Hey man,
No need to apologise.
I did use Gmail but it didn't work...regardless of having the less secure connections enabled. Then I discovered Yahoo and found it's storage was high so I change to Yahoo but issue still occurring... For Yahoo, I am unable to find their "use less secure...
