    Dahua / DMSS playback issues

    Hello. I've noticed a strange problem. I have been getting notifications of motion from my Homekit (via scrypted) but not DMSS. When i log into DMSS to check why, i am noting no events for that time period and when i try to play, it literally jumps over it and goes back 30+ minutes... like the...

    EmpireTech NVR / Camera Tripwire / motion settings?

    I'm not sure if this is technically an NVR question or a camera question but i received my NVR16CH-16P-2XI and Color IPC-4k cameras. I get that these are supposed to be white-labeled Dahua cameras but overall this feels like a huge step backwards. The first thing i noticed is that as soon as i...

    Replacing the internal Dahua system fan - EpireTech NVR

    Hi. The default fan on the new Dahua/EmpireTech NVR is SUPER loud. On my last NVR i replaced the fan with the Noctua NF a4x10 fan.. and it was great. On the new NVR the fan is the same size, but the mother board connectors are different. It's still a 4pin fan connector but the grooves are in the...

    Dahua v5 upgrade questions / Empiretech Taurus

    Hi. I just received my new empiretech gear and was wanting to upgrade to Dahua v5. I started looking up firmware updates and model numbers and noticed that Empiretech firmware is from "Taurus Platform". Is this a replacement for the Dahua UI? Or a rebranded firmware? Either way, is it possible...

    Dahua NVR upgrade - settings backup / migration.

    I have spent a considerable amount of time setting up my old Dahua nvr system. Cameras, network config, lighting, etc. I just received my new NVR and am going to upgrade but is there a way to backup and restore all the settings? Like a config export / restore?

    Upgrading dahua NVR - swapping hard drives

    I just got a shiny new NVR. I have a 4tb premium drive in my old NVR and was going to take the drive out and swap it. Do I need to format it, or do anything special ? Or will the NVR prompt me to do everything

    Luminys migration / NVR question

    HI. I currently have a Dahua N52B3P4 NVR. A few of my cameras are really great nightcolor cameras (N45EJN2). I've been wanting to upgrade the rest of them. Long story short i just found out about the Luminys migration. Has anyone played with the back-end UI or even the mobile app? Is it better...

    New Dahua camera upgrades / Eufy

    I recently saw an ad for a new Eufy NVR system with dual lense 4k camera that has auto face detection and zoom and some nice looking features. It’s making me want to upgrade my Dahua cameras. I have a few cameras that have really nice night color mode. I would ideally like to get them to 4k...

    I hate my Dahua's Motion detection / IVF. Is there anything better?

    I have spent literal months messing with my Dahua cameras around my house trying to get the tripwire / Intrusion settings to a point where they are actually usable. I've come to the conclusion that Dahua is probably great in a business setting but absolutely terrible from a home security...

    Pausing Dahua IVR tripwire notifications after the first ?

    I have a series of Dahua cameras setup around my house. I am using IVr tripwire to signal notifications on activity. I have the activity turned off before 6pm in case people come to mow the grass, etc. it works fine but at night when I have people over the notifications go crazy. If there are...

    Dahua camera settings keep resetting ??

    This is absolutely driving me crazy. I have a Dahua NVR with 6 cameras. I keep setting the video encoding settings to H264 because I am also using Scrypted to get the video into Homekit. Everything works fine when the settings stay at H264. After a few minutes the settings seem to auto revert...

    IVS not alerting, motion too sensitive.

    I am really struggling with setting up my Dahua cameras. Especially in the back yard, when I have motion/smart motion enabled, i get tons of false positives at night for "human" detection when there is literally nothing there. When i have IVF/trip wire enabled with the area drawn out, i get 0...

    Help finding a floodlight ethernet / non-wifi camera

    Hi. I have a Dahua system and am looking for a solid floodlight camera. Dahua doesn’t seem to have any. Lorex has a single wired one, but it is Wi-Fi only. The only thing I can find is a Reolink duo floodlight camera - it’s POE but I’m not sure it is compatible with my Dahua system. I’m not...

    Best NVR with cloud features like Push

    Hi. I recently switched from a Vivint system to Dahua wired NVR system with / alarm.com combo. the cameras and NVR system is cool but I’m extremely disappointed in the lack of basic features like push notifications on motion alerts. This is for a home system and the ability to be notified when...
