    NVR5216-16P-4KS2E Latest new firmwre NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000006.0.R.210208

    Just realized that after my upgrade on March 16, I no longer can filter using 'motion' events. In fact, I don't see motion events at all. Will need to check settings again to see what changed.

    Dahua DMSS App.

    Most push notification issues I have ever had were related to me accidentally blocking them in my firewall.

    Dahua DMSS App.

    I know. I hate that it does that. I put a review in the App Store requesting that they include that change but I doubt it will happen. At least the developer responded and said they would include it but time will tell. The app is far from perfect but it better than a lot of other apps.

    NVR5216-16P-4KS2E Latest new firmwre NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000006.0.R.210208

    Ya, I thought the cameras did ( IPC-T5442TM-AS) based on the Dahua specs (face detection at the very least) but I could never seem to get it working so I gave up. Was also trying to validate the update by checking the video clip export format as mentioned by Andy. I could never seem to find a...

    NVR5216-16P-4KS2E Latest new firmwre NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000006.0.R.210208

    Thanks Andy. Just upgraded from V4.001.0000003.1, Build Date: 2020-08-13. Did a default (not sure if I needed to do that but did it anyhow). So far so good. I see the new 'Face and Body Detection' but I don't think my NVR (NVR-5216-16P-4KS2E) supports that. Wish it did :)

    Big update!! NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000000.0.R.20190713

    Dumb question on my part but is dahuawiki.com run by Dahua? I thought Andy is typically the first to distribute these updates to us. Just wondering. :)

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS latest new firmware 20201019

    I thought I recall seeing a message from Andy suggesting that if you have an older firmware on your device (I believe he was referring to the NVR) then you need to use a specific firmware prior to using the latest. I could be wrong.

    IPC-T5442T-ZE IPC-T5442TM-AS latest new firmware 20201019

    I didn’t upgrade to the latest one since the general advise seems to be to not touch it if it ain’t broke. Problem with that is we end up on a very old firmware and when the time does come to upgrade (maybe a new feature or improvement fix) then we are left scrambling trying to figure out what...

    Face Detection / Face Recognition

    Ok that explains why it wasn’t working. Thanks. It would have been a nice feature. Maybe I need to start looking at blue Iris. ;)

    Firmware - Just Ordered IPC-5442T-ZE

    I got my cams a few months ago from Andy and they came with the latest firmware at the time. Even if it doesn’t, it’s easy to install the firmware. No worries. :)

    Face Detection / Face Recognition

    I'm using the 5442-TM-ASE. According to the spec sheet of the camera (https://www.dahuasecurity.com/asset/upload/uploads/cpq/DH-IPC-HDW5442TM-ASE_datasheet_20200622.pdf) it support Face Detection. I don't see anything about Face Recognition. I presume that Face detection is simply detected a...

    Face Detection / Face Recognition

    Hi guys, I have the 5216-16P-4KS2E and a few of the 5442-TM-ASE Dahua camera's from Andy. I can't figure the Face Detection / Face Recognition setup. I enabled the Face Detection via the NVR (Parameters - Face Detection). Set it to record and set a rule (area). The Face Detection so far...

    Dahua Push Notifications?

    Reading another thread: How to get push notifications through firewall - working finally and realized I was making the same mistake. So far it's consistently sending me notifications. I didn't realize the mistake earlier for some reason. Thought I had got it working from settings changed in...

    Dahua Push Notifications?

    Nope no need to change them. From what I learned on this site, changing the internal IPs that the NVR assigns so that they are the within the same subnet as your LAN will not make a difference. I left mine as is using the 10.1.1.X. Changing them apparently will not allow you to access the...

    Dahua Push Notifications?

    I never used the scanning to add the device, I added the device manually into DMSS using the IP address and username/password. Not sure if that makes a difference. I also do not use the P2P (disabled it).

    Dahua Push Notifications?

    Well...I've concluded that the push notification is definitely hit and miss. My driveway cam stopped sending the notifications last night. I go into the DMSS app and noticed the push notifications for this one camera was not enabled for some reason. I re-enable it and still not working so who...

    Dahua Push Notifications?

    Hi I'm using the latest version of DMSS on iPhone 12 Pro. Using NVR 5216-16P-4KS2E and 5442TM. The camera would send push notifications without issue when not using the NVR. When I switched to using the NVR, it was hit and miss. Yesterday I decided to go back into SmartPSS, in the Event...

    SMTP not working for Outlook email

    From my experience, the SMTP service will work only from the NVR and not from the individual camera when the cameras are connected to the NVR for the reasons that Valiant describes. If I detach the camera from the NVR and plug directory into the switch, the SMTP from the camera works. One...

    Link Quality field from NVR PoE (NVR 5216-16P) - Dahua Cam (T5442TM-ASE)

    Hi Folks, Any idea why one of my Dahua Cam's is showing a Link Quality of 0 in the Camera --> PoE page. The others are at a value of 1. The legend at the bottom talks about Link Quality Poor, Average and Good , rather than the numbers shown. That particular camera is my only 3.6mm T5442 but...

    NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_ V4.001.0000003.2.R.201010

    I have a new NVR-5216-16P-4KS2E and was wondering the same thing. I believe it is referring to hardware version. It can be found in the NVR menu, I believe it was under maintenance. Not sure what the differences are between hardware versions 1 or 2. I automatically thought I had the version...

    NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_ V4.001.0000003.2.R.201010

    Thanks Andy, This will be my first firmware upgrade on my new 5216-16P-4KS2E NVR. Do I need to default the NVR after the upgrade? (similar to what I did with the cameras) - thanks!

    Placement of camera on side of home (IPC-T5442TM)

    Hi guys, First I want to say thank you to everyone on this forum for the tips and suggestions. It really helped me a lot. After reading tons of threads on here, I ordered 4 cameras from Andy and an NVR (IPC-T5442TM and 5216-16P-4KS2). I was surprised how fast I got the cameras (especially...
