I'll check. I did have to allow less secure connections, because at first the test failed, and I got an email from Gmail saying that there was an attempt made, and they blocked it. After I allowed less secure connections the test emails come through. I'll see if there are any other... -

Looks like I found what you're referring to. I checked AI Detection, but there isn't any "apply" button or anything like that. If I click on another page, and then reopen the alarm tab, the box is unchecked. -

Can't send email from NVR NR32P8-8 V4.30.005/210413
I read through this thread to help myself setup the emails from the Dahua NVR. I did similar to you. I setup a new gmail account just to send the emails to my regular gmail account. The test works, and I get the email. I have the Dahua cams plugged into the PoE port, have the IVS rule setup... -

I am using the built in PoE ports for all of my cameras. I tried an NVR reboot, nothing. I tried rebooting the camera, nothing. Tried a complete shutdown, and removing power to the NVR for a minute, nothing. The test email still works, and the IVS event is triggering in the NVR. The "send... -

I setup another gmail account, and entered the details into the NVR's Network -> Email settings. Clicked "Test" and successfully recieved an email! Woooo Hoooo. Then I checked the "email" box in the camera's IVS rules. Then I went and tripped one of my IVS tripwires. The event triggered in... -

That is excellent. Like most things, I'm unsure how to fill in some of these fields. Here is the what the manual says, doesn't help me much. SMTP Server: What would my SMTP server be? Who is the sender's email account? If I use Gmail for my personal email, would it be that? Port: No... -

Since I'm not very educated on networking, I want to make sure I don't do something stupid and compromise my network security unknowingly, I've got a few questions when looking at this DMSS Users Manual. In order to "add device" you can chose add to "local" or "account". It seem that if you... -

I had no idea that there was such a thing as a passive switch. Good to know. I did run a conduit from my second floor attic to the basement in event I need to run another cable, worst case scenario. Come to think of it, I did run a few extras. I have an extra in the soffit of the porch, in... -

Great advice. Thank you for taking the time to write up such a thoughtful reply. As far as adding cameras in locations, the ethernet cable may be difficult to home run back to my NVR. If I were to add some thing say, on a basketball pole, how would you deal with the Ethernet cable? There are... -

Adding more or lower cameras right now is probably completely off the table for me (wife would shit). Maybe if I wait a while, lol. I would be open to swapping out a few of the 2.8mm for 3.6mm, or a different camera if that were to help significantly, and if I could do so without a huge... -

All of my cameras are now set to these video settings. You'll see example's of the daytime footage below. I'll test night time footage tonight. All exterior cams have the same daytime exposure settings. Super overcast today, and COLD, 27F as the high. Brrr. Garage cam I setup... -

The videos posted last night were with most of the things you mentioned, (I implemented some of them already based on your recommendation). I'll try increasing bitrate. I have it set at 8192, but I will go higher. I also have set at 24FPS and iFrames. I'll try 15. Thanks. -

I got it from this document, which looked official Dahua: I purchased from Andy, and he also listed the same chart in his material on Amazon. -

For the cameras I have, here is the chart I used for selection: Here is why I selected them, although my logic may be flawed. All distances I measured with a laser, from point A to B, (the hypotenuse of the length and height). Front Porch (2.8mm): Distance from lens to the head/face of an... -

I fully appreciate your comment. I'm a bit disappointed by the views I'm capturing. I was somewhat surprised by how wide angle the cameras provide, giving less of a zoomed in view of the areas compared to my expectations. I considered going with the 3.6mm for all of the locations, but the min... -

I waited about 30 minutes and realized it probably wasn't doing anything, then refreshed. So I just got done resetting the cameras and the NVR. Set a static IP for the NVR of 192.168.1.254, but cannot access from my PC. They are on the same network (my router is wired to an unmanaged gigabit... -

So I'm going to factory reset, and follow the BigRedFish NVR setup guide, to hope this fixes some of my issues. Went to reset my first camera, and get this message: How long does this take? Been sitting on this page for about 5 minutes or more. Should I refresh the browser at some point? -

I'm going to be factory resetting my NVR and Cameras and following the BigRedFish NVR setup instructions, in hopes that this fixes a lot of my issues I'm experiencing. As a part of that I want to make sure I've got the right firmware installed on the NVR and cameras. Camera Firmware... -

***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch
One last question, when I do a factory reset of the NVR, will I need to format the HDDs manually? Or does that just happen as part of the factory resest? Or just not necessary at all?- Kevin Doe

***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch
No worries, I can do that. Is there a preferred order to do the factory reset? Cameras first, then NVR? And I don't honestly know how to do the factory resets. How do I reset all these things? Edit: Looks like I found the NVR reset under "maintain->manager->default->Factory Default.- Kevin Doe

***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch
So, I didn't see this thread until it was too late. I basically did everything that you listed in the "self inflicted" list of things not to do. I thought I was doing the right things, and trying to get it figured out, but at this point it's kinda a mess. Most things are working, but I'm...- Kevin Doe
