Hi All,

Uniview NVR and iPhone 7

Trying to set up Push Notification to alert my phone when motion is detected on one of my cameras.

I am having trouble getting the Push Notification to alert my iPhone when it receives an alert.

I have the settings on the NVR set up the way the Uniview tech told me to.

I have the I phone settings setup to allow notifications for the EZ View app on my phone.

I have the EZ View app setup to allow notifications when camera number 5 detects motion.

When motion is detected on camera number 5 I do get an alert message on the EZ View I phone app but it does not buzz or show up on my screen.

The only way that I know that camera number 5 detected motion is to go into my EZ View app and look myself.

It shows the movement on camera number 5. I can replay the detected video file.

The uniview tech is not sure why this is not working.

I stopped in his shop last week and we put all of my information into his I phone and it did the same thing. No alert that there was motion detection.

Has anyone had this problem with Push Notification using Uniview NVR and EZ View app?

Thanks

I thank you for the reply and the information.

I will order two of the CVBS/960h cameras.

It sounds like this will get us going again.

Thanks and have a good day.

Hi all

I need help with a Qsee System.

I do not have a lot of experience with analog systems.

QT4760 16 channel DVR. This DVR is about 5yrs old.

I am trying to add two new cameras. QCA8045B.

When I connect the cameras to the DVR they do not show up.

I am thinking that it may be a compatibility problem but not sure.

What do I need to be looking for when I am buying cameras

that will work with this DVR?

Thanks

Back again

After doing a little searching it seems like QSEE had different series cameras.

I am seeing QT, QTH and QC.

The cameras that we bought are QC.

I am guessing that since the dvr is a QT4760 that maybe I need cameras that start with QT.

Is this the only thing that I need to be looking for?

Hi All

I am planning on installing a security camera system located in a rural area in Indiana. They have a Hot Spot network connection from Verizon with a 11Mbps upload speed. They want to have remote access with Iphone. The Hot Spot device is on their desk and is connected wireless to their PC. Is there a way to add a router to this setup so port forwarding could be set up?

Or is there a better way to get this done.

Thanks

Hi all

Using Uniview equipment. 8 channel recorder but only connecting four 4MP cameras, recording at 4MP each.

The recorder has a VGA and HDMI output and I would like to use the HDMI output for spot monitor.

Not sure how high the VGA cable is good for.

I am thinking that it would not make any difference which output I use since I am using a 1080P monitor.

Also does anyone know of a video storage calculator app that works well?

Another thought> If I use the HDMI output on the NVR for spot monitoring would it be best to use a VGA to HDMI converter

so that I can also connect the local monitor using a HDMI cable?

I thank you for your input, I will definitely take your suggestions under consideration.

Thanks

Hi all

Installed a four channel NVR with two IP cameras connected, using uniview equipment with POE. One run of the cat5 network cable was 460 feet.

It seems to be working great.

They say I could go 800 feet or more.

Has anyone tried to go 800ft. with the extended transmission option of uniview?

Hi all

I am looking into a project where I have a Uniview camera set at a construction site and only use a 128GB SD micro card for storage.

Tools and materials are coming up missing.

It will not be connected to any network or NVR. Would anyone know if this should work and if so what would it take to get it to work.

I have been playing around with one in my office and am not having any luck getting the camera to record to the SD micro card.

I am asking about the Uniview cameras because it is what I am most familiar with.

If this will not work does anyone know of a camera that would work will for this application? The camera will be outside.

Thanks for the reply. I will buy one of these enclosures and give it a try.

Sounds good. I will look around to see what I can find.

Thanks for the info.

Hi all

I am looking for a DVR lock box that is heated. Would be going in a warehouse that is not heated.

I live in Indiana and temperature sometimes get down to around 0 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter.

Have looked around but am not having much luck.

Thanks

Thanks jazzar, I will give it a shot.

I still not figured out what I need to do get ports 81 and up to open. Anyone have any ideas?

I contacted tech support today and figured it out.

Menu, System, Preview, Video Out, Select HDMI or VGA. My spot monitor is connected to the VGA output.

Hope this helps someone else.

Hi All

Does anyone know where to find the Spot Monitoring setup options on the Uniview NVRs?

Using an ISX3216-16p NVR.

Can not find it in the manual.

Thanks

I used the CUSTOM ADD SERVICE option.

Hi all.

I have a netgear router (N600 WNDR3800) that I am trying to get port forwarding set up on so I can get remote access to my Dahua nvr (G4-4K- using an Iphone. The router only gives me the option to open ports 80 and below. When I try to open ports 81 and up in the router, I get a message that the ports are being used by other devices and that I should check USB Rapid Share, Remote Management, Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, UPnP Mapping Table.

The Dahua NVR only gives me the option to use the TCP ports 1025 to 65535.

Any ideas how to get the netgear router to let me use ports higher than 80?

Solved!

I talked to tech support today and he had me log in remote and change my resolution settings back to 1080p.

It was set to 4K and I only had a 1080p monitor.

Hi all

I have a G4-4K8P NVR made by Dahua. I was playing around with the resolution and my screen went blank. Show “Resolution Not Supported” on the screen. I cannot get it back up to change the resolution. If I remember right, several years ago I did the same thing and was able to set the recorder back to default settings using the buttons on the front panel.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks for the information. I will play around with it and see what I get.

ssmith10pn You are right, I really don't need 20fps, I plan on cranking it down once I get the I-frame settings and a few other things figured out. Thanks for your input also.

Hi all

I have Dahua cameras connected to a new UNIVIEW NVR that I am trying out. The UNIVIEW NVR gives me the option to set the I-Frame interval in the camera setup options. The default setting is 24 I-Frames. I am recording at 20 fps. The cameras are viewing a front yard, driveway and a few out buildings. "Not a lot of activity." If I understand it right, lowering the I-Frame setting should save hard drive space but may reduce my video quality a little.

I have also heard that I should have my frame rate set to a multiple of my I-Frame setting.

Any thoughts?

Thank you for the reply.

Working on a project in an assembly plant.

I have given up on trying to get the snapshot option to work right when triggered.

Took the Hybrid out of service, and purchased a dahua 4K NVR.

Plan on setting it up to record on motion 24/7 1fps. This should give us what we need.

Thanks again.

Hi all

Working with a Dahua Hybrid NVR and trying to get it to take a snapshot once an hour 24/7 from four different channels and save the pictures to the NVR hard drive. I am using the N/O input on the back. At the moment I am using a push button to input the alarm. I plan on connecting this input to an external device once I get it to work. The push button is connected to #1 input and ground. I did the snapshot setup per/ Dahua tech support. Every time I press the button it takes several snapshots instead of just one.

Has anyone tried to do something like this with the Dahus NVRs before?

Hi all

I am having trouble finding a good motion detector flood light that is meant for use inside a building. I have installed three IR cameras inside a 40X60 garage. I added a motion detector flood light with two 7 watt led bulbs which works well for adding light when motion is detected. The problem is that they sometime come on during the day even with the lights on. This building is vary well lit with the lights on. Nice clean concret floor and clean white walls. I know it still is not as bright as what it would be with natural outside light.

Thanks Boogieman for your input. It just seems to me that to have the 4K recorded file available at the monitor, to be utilized while I zoom in, I would need a 4K HDMI cable from the NVR to the monitor?
