Description

Dahua NVRs and DVRs offer a variety of recording options. You can configure recording schedules based on the following methods:

• General
• Motion Detection
• Alarm Based
• Motion Detection + Alarm
• IVS if the feature is available depending on the model.

For this tutorial we will be setting up IVS recording. We will be using the X72A2A and DH-IPC-HDW44A1MN-I to set this up.

Prerequisites

• Dahua Recorder with new GUI and supportive IVS features
• Dahua Camera with IVS rule and Smartplan enabled

Step by Step Instructions

Step One:

Creating an IVS Rule on the camera and enabling Smartplan

• Login to the Camera's WEBUI

• Go to Settings>Events>IVS

• Click on the green "+" icon to add a rule. You can also rename the rule by double-clicking under "Name". We will be adding a Tripwire in this example

• Click on Draw Rule to start drawing

-Left-Click for starting point and Left-Click again for endpoint

-Right-Click to finish

• Change the direction you want the tripwire to go off, enable "Record" and click on save when you're done enabling the settings.

• Smartplan is crucial, it MUST be enabled so our IVS rules can take effect. Highlight "IVS" and save it.

Step Two:

Adding the camera to the recorder and enabling Intel recording

• Login to the recorder and go to Camera>Registration>Manual Add

• Type in the information it asks for and click on save when finished, we will be adding this camera to channel 7

• Now let's go to Storage>Schedule, select the channel and click on the "Settings" tab on the right side

• Keep "Intel" checked and copy it to all days, save it

• Click on "Save" to finalize the changes

• In the main menu go to "Video"

• Select the channel with the IVS rules, you can now see the recordings of when that tripwire was tripped
