    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    I am bench testing this camera right now before I install it in its place outside. First impressions are that I like it. I really like the speed of IR -> Color switch at night. Questions I'm trying to figure out right now. 1) How can I manually turn on red/blue flashing lights from the DMSS...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    I am having some difficulty getting this camera to switch over to B/W IR at night time. I don't know if I have it set right in the settings but this is how I have it right now. Right now I am using "customized scene" with the highest sensitivity. When I make and save the changes I can get...

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Sure seems like audio alarm is clearly better. Can this be triggered manually via the DMSS app? Specifically this camera in this thread? I would hate for this to trigger on a non trespasser at night. Also, if there is a better camera than this threads I am open to hear it.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    Perfect. What about white leds coming on during ivs intrusion/tripwire event? Would love for camera to switch from IR and into white led light. To act as deterrence and attention getting by looking into the camera.

    Mini-Review EmpireTech IPC-Color4M-T

    I am looking to replace a HDW5231R-Z turret camera on my front door. I am looking for good IR and the option to have white led’s turn on by motion as a deterrent and attention seeker (bring face looking at the camera). The flashing red and blue lights look like a nice option for an alarm...

    Ok thanks I got it now. I was thrown off by the zoom speed label. I wasn't expecting that to be it.

    Where exactly in the camera GUI is the option/area to adjust the image (zoom in or out) via the motorized vari-focal lens? Thanks for the recommendation of this camera.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 4mp Varifocal Turret

    I have a HDW5231R-Z that I might replace with this camera. With the 5231 camera, I’ve got a weatherproof junction box. Pretty sure it’s this one that’s attached. Does anyone know if the T54IR camera will work with this box?

    SmartPSS Lite on a mac - trouble getting connected

    Update to my original problem here. This time I tried using the main Admin account instead of the 2nd admin account that I set up and what do you know it works. I have no idea, can't explain it, makes no sense why it would work now? It takes like 2 mins for it to actually start but it does...

    SmartPSS Lite on a mac - trouble getting connected

    Well I have an M4 chip so are you saying SmartPSS won't work for me? I was adding the NVR by the IP, not using the SN. Not sure if that matters.

    SmartPSS Lite on a mac - trouble getting connected

    So I just downloaded SmartPSS lite, installed fine, went to manually add my NVR log in credentials (IP) on the devices tab and go to connect but it always fails to connect. User does not exist is error I get on the online status. This is false as I've checked all credentials many times. I am...

    DMSS notification display question

    The channels are assigned names from inside the NVR. The cameras are connected to external switches.

    DMSS notification display question

    Does anyone know if there’s a way to have the camera name I set display instead of “Channel 6”? I’ve searched all over the app and NVR but maybe I’m missing this somewhere.

    Mac live viewing trouble - need help

    Thanks for the reply. I’ve looked at smartpss lite as another option (I use to use the original Smartpss but it’s discontinued. Unfortunately I use the intel chip and not one of the M chips. But with smartpss lite, you can successfully edit IVS rules and such right in that program? Even if...

    Mac live viewing trouble - need help

    Believe me, I’ve thought about that more now than ever. I’ve been drawn to the apple ecosystem though. Where does one find the 32 bit version from a reputable source because can’t find it on their website. https://www.palemoon.org/download.shtml

    Mac live viewing trouble - need help

    First, thanks for the reply How do you even go about installing pale moon because I've already tried this (64 bit) and Apple denies installing this because they can't verify it. Gotta say, its very frustrating for something that should be so easy to do.

    Mac live viewing trouble - need help

    I can log in just fine across all web browsers (Safari,Edge, Chrome, Firefox) but I come across the same problem it's that I can't live view from the web gui. The only reason I need to log in and view from the GUI is so I can edit my IVS rules. But since I can't even view a live picture, I...

    Looking for a wide angle turret

    So I’ve got the original dual lens “boobie” cam that I installed about 4-5 years ago. It’s ok, but it sucks at night especially with water spots, glare, and bugs. So I’m looking for a wide angle turret (don’t really need a full 180) with IR. Don’t want lights to be on at night from the camera...

    Where are the 2025 Models?

    At my front door I have the IPC-HDW5231R-Z. It’s still a great camera but I might like to have 2 way audio to hear and talk to someone. Is there a turret camera like this?

    Thank you MC I’ve got it working on a new iPad. I’m still using the older app on my phone (before the new version) I’m a little confused. I don’t really want to make an account. Can someone clarify, is live view achievable without making an account (like it was before the update?) Will...

    Help, locked out of NVR, can’t reset pw

    Thanks Steve, I clearly overlooked that when I replied to you. Frustration probably got me there. But before I was to attempt your solution I thought I’d give “admin” for the password a try, and what do you know, that worked! So weird to me. I had to re-add all of my cameras and users but I’m...
