    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...

    Dahua Tripwire/Intrusion/ SMD advice

    These are the (IPC-HDW5231R-Z) cameras. I’ve never updated the firmware because “if it’s not broke don’t fix it” reasoning. Tripwire and intrusion seem to work ok. They are just easily triggered by birds, or bugs at night due to the IR light.

    Dahua Tripwire/Intrusion/ SMD advice

    My gosh I’ve looked and I always feel like I don’t know anything. Where in the camera gui is MD or SMD because I cannot find that. Sorry for being dumb.

    Dahua Tripwire/Intrusion/ SMD advice

    Well I can’t explain it then because I keep getting alerts for CrossRegionDetection with shadows moving on the drive. I do get alerts from bugs but I don’t see bugs in this instance. SMD is disabled, at least from the DMSS app

    Dahua Tripwire/Intrusion/ SMD advice

    I think my question relates to this but I use intrusion on my cameras and I get a lot of false triggers. Any way to stop shadows from trees moving trigger them?

    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...

    Thank you for the recommendation. This camera should work just fine with my Dahua NVR 5216-16P-4KS2?

    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...
