Unable to use playback on most cameras. How do I fix this? Very frustrating as we felt someone was in our backyard

By Toks   6 months ago


I have 10 cameras of which two of them are IPC. The IPC cameras are apparently connected yo the Internet. We have no issues with our Internet. These two cameras when live or play back, they show pictures in stills and jerky movements. They stall and become difficult to follow movements of subjects. Yet if I were to record a portion and play back, it plays smoothly. We have no such issues with the other 8 channels. These other channels are apparently not connected via Internet.

Dmss keeps going offline every few minutes for a few minutes. Started after a really bad thunderstorm. The cameras show images but the door will not load says connection failed now we can not use the doorbell or app to access our door. The doorbell is flashing green, the app says failed to connect. We did a reboot and our router shows it connected. There are orande lights on two of the plugs we changed them and those two are still orange all of the cameras are green.

I am unable to view my cameras remotely on my phone when I am on a different internet connection that the cctv system is on. If I am away from home I am unable to do live view from my phone. But when I am at home and my phone is on same internet wifi with the cctv system I can live view. Please what do I need to do to be able to do a live view when I am away from home on a different wifi network or cellular internet data.

I get push notifications of an alarm but when try to play back it says no record-home

By A Sac   1 year ago


Upgraed to latest version. In the old version, the DMSS alerted and provided a video snap shot and short video. It obeyed the IVS perimeter lines (defined by the camera section in the DVR), and with only the 'intrusion' option selected in the DMSS app Multi Channel Alarm Subscription settings. Now, the updated DMSS app will not provide any alerts or video snap shots unless all requested paramters are selected in the Multi Channel Alarm Subscription. NOW THE DMSS APP DOES NOT OBEY THE IVS PERIMTER LINES DRAWN IN THE CAMERA SECTION OF THE NVR. THIS CAUSES NUMEROUS UNWANTED ALERTS.

Hello. I had my home cameras installed 2 years ago, but unfortunately they have not been working for the last year. I had the guy that installed them over to fix the controls box.he said he had to change the password and the system should be ok.He told me the new password is Create20!! When I tried the new password and it doesn’t work. When I try to access the live cameras, they only boot up to 70% and the word help ,comes up on each camera. Please help . The guy that tried to fix the problem can’t be contacted. How do I change the password, as I can,t remember the old password. Please text. Info. Thank You.

By Sally Tarrant   1 year ago


I have found the solution!!! Read if struggling with looking at dmss app cctv via mobile data. Uninstall then camera the add device again using the SN scan either by scanning or Manually adding the code. You can get the code and check p2p settings activated in your Web login to your cctv. I hope you can achieve it. I feel so less stressed now and I am gutted no-one helped me achieve this. Good luck 🙂

Hi, We have installed dmss app on new phones, did all described in the instruction video on how to import device but we are not receiving any notification when someone rings the door. (We use dmss app as interphone on our building). All tennants that changed their phone are experiencing the same issue and we cannot reach the guy who installed the interphone. Everything works fine for the tenants who did not change the phone after initial installation. Can you please help as this is very inconvenient. Thank you!

App Cannot download recordings of notifications. Goes to around 80 to 90 percent then connection fails. This is on both my late model iPad and 6plus. Apparently the company who I purchased the Dahua cameras from and who hooked them up to the net. They can access data on an android and Dahua engineers can access them on late model iPhone as well as their iPad. I’m lost, please help. Bill
