    Red hue on edge of image?

    I have 2 and both do this. It's a minor flaw only on the left edge so I decided not to return it. Return shipping was expensive. I opted for a small $ refund in lieu of returning so I'm still happy with the product.

    LOREX NR908 4k cameras choppy

    Would direct connection to hdmi on nvr have more load to the processor compare to say using a separate PC to load smartpss and view the stream? Would the latter have the decoding load passed onto the smartpss PC instead?

    How Can I Easily Playback SD Card Recordings?

    I can only see the motion marked as orange lines on the timeline scrolling only. It works most the time when I have a good wifi signal to my phone. Would be nice if it can show a list of time events like I can when logging into the camera through the IP on a browser.

    I'm still using the connectors that came with my crimper by Platinum Tools brand since it had a pack of 25 included. I just bend the lock tab back up now to get it to work. I don't think Platinum Tools and Platinum Connector is the same brand. Which one you have?

    how to make good cat6 cables all the time

    ^^ This indeed was the problem with my connectors. The crimper squished the tab down too much and bending it back upwards works now to click into place. Low quality connectors that were included with the Platinum crimper.

    I had this problem a month ago when connecting my dahua cameras to the nvr. I think I either deleted the cameras in the NVR setup and manual add them one by one using the user/pwd or I did a hard reset then add them one by one.

    I have a VPN setup; but how do I confirm my IPC has no web access?

    Without internet access the cams can't do push alerts to the IDMSS app correct? Does enabling push alerts first have it push to dahua servers in china then to the phone app?

    Interesting alarm audio with available custom audio files feature. Wondering is there a setting to set alarm to play only during customized hours like only after midnight? Or an event or IVS detection at a certain time that will trigger the alarm audio?
