    DMSS App: Motion Events don’t always display the Thumbnail

    I was poking around the NVR GUI and found something interesting. Channel 4 below is my camera that is NOT producing a proper thumbnail. I am not exactly sure to check to ensure that an "image" is being recorded. Still poking around... Wonder if you check this setting what you see...

    Which NVR for Remote Rental Home?

    Me again @ Just trying to add my two cents with my experience (albeit my first and only NVR w Dahua cams). NVR8CH-8P-2AI with several S3 gen cameras. I make all changes on the camera GUI. I am using "AI" mode vs "AcuPick" on both the NVR and camera interface as the two have to be the same...

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    Take this advice from Witt. I am using a Z4 at about 80 foot right now for license plates but I wish I had a Z 12. I did not intend for my Z4 to read plates but I had an extra one laying around so that’s what I’m using it for. The extra focal length for that Z 12 would really Zoom in on the...

    DMSS App: Motion Events don’t always display the Thumbnail

    Yea Ive pretty much just dealt with it but it is indeed frustrating. From what they long time users on here say, Dahua is knows for their hardware and not necessary the software side in apps and such. That may be part of it. @bigredfish do you have issues with the app described above?

    DMSS App: Motion Events don’t always display the Thumbnail

    OK. I dont ever access access the NVR directly through a monitor but rather through Smart PSS, DMSS, or through IP address.. I can check this out when I get home though. In terms of B&W, it does appear most thumbnails do display properly when the camera is in its B&W period at night, but I...

    DMSS App: Motion Events don’t always display the Thumbnail

    I am also experiencing this issue. I have NVR8CH-8P-2AI with several S3 generation cams and iPhone 15 Pro Max on iOS 18. On IVS triggered events, sometimes on the app the thumbnail is just the "generic" image with a lock on it. It's sporadic and happens to all my cams. I can't really say what...

    S3 animal detection

    @StevenFromTexas Either of you guys use the DMSS app to receive animal notifications? Also wonder why you both have motion detection enabled.. I thought we should not use motion if we have IVS rules enabled?

    S3 animal detection

    I STILL cannot get notifications for animals to the DMSS app on my iPhone 15 running iOS18.(did not work on iOS17 either) My NVR (NVR8CH-8P-2AI) and cams (multiple S3 cams with latest firmware) DO capture animals really good as I can see it when I run a search on the NVR under AI- IVS. Animals...

    How about a new review, what about 2, 3, possibly 4 ?

    I love watching your reviews. You do an excellent job. I recently bought several S3 cams with a 5 series NVR and I use the AcuPick function. It's very helpful and useful and I would love to see you do reviews and videos for combining these cams with the NVR. Thanks for your hard work!

    S3 animal detection

    I still cannot figure out why I am not getting notifications on the DMSS app for animal intrusions and tripwires. I can search Acupick and see the thumbnails when animals activate the IVS, both intrusion and tripwire. I can see the event on the playback timeline in SmartPSS lite, but i do not...

    camera recommendation in addition to color4k-t180

    I should have mentioned I am running an NVR. Sorry about that. I have attached a pic of the view of the camera at 11p last night. It appears with the settings I mentioned above the cam is doing a decent job no? Thanks alor for the input!

    camera recommendation in addition to color4k-t180

    I just bought the color4k-B180 for the exact purpose you mentioned. I have other cams in B&W to get me the shots I need. With that said, I know you say run in auto.. 1. ) In the image settings under "working mode" do I select "Self adaptive?" 2. ) Leave exposure to "Auto" I know we never do...

    S3 animal detection

    I spoke too soon... When I turned off AcuPick I did not hit "Next" the first time. The second time I hit "Next" and a pop up appeared, (see below) and then the camera restarted and now I am able to choose IVS with AcuPick NOT enabled.

    S3 animal detection

    On my new NVR8CH-8P-2AI with latest firmware, when I create a "Smart PLan", AcuPick is enabled by default with IVS and Metadata which you cannot turn off either of those. If you turn off AcuPick, then you do not have the abilty to enable any of the options below it like IVS, at least this is my...

    S3 animal detection

    ok intersting....I think I have intrusion on some of the camera but I'll have to double check all my settings. I appreciate the input. So do the animal alerts come to the message screen like the MV and human alerts? FYI I have an iPhone.

    S3 animal detection

    FYI I am new to all this as this is my first NVR, (only had andy's EmpireTech NVR8CH-8P-2AI 8) with several T54IR-S3 and B54IR Z4E-S3. I updated all hardware to the newest firmware off of Andys site. With that said, I have all the cameras setup pretty much like @StevenFromTexas. My cameras are...

    Mini-Review - 5442-Z4E-S3 AKA B54IR-Z4E S3 - Replacement to the 5442-Z4E

    OK sir. I will keep angling the camera to the right a bit and capture some plates and report back. I do have an easy ability to add IR at this location. Tix for input.
