Thank you! In my work I am just now starting with this program and your videos have helped me a lot.

[@jasperfatty4915]

this has been a big help and saved me heaps of money. thank you so much.

[@ayatullah8586]

Thanks you Sir. CCTV Camera configuration, give very Good Information for learning

[@Elculichi2]

Do you have a video on how to change how many days footage is stored in NVR using smartpss? Mi recordings are being overitten after 12 days and would like to change it to a longer time frame?

[@user-xp9zg1do4p]

Excelent video, but I wish you please explain how to configurate video wall mode, if it´s better than keep many live windows. Greetings from COLOMBIA

[@nabil1564]

Hello thank you for your video. Can we restart the hardware remotely I have a problem with the internal hard drive of the DVR which is no longer recognized I would like to restart the device. Thank you in advance and very good job 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MsLincos]

Thank you for the video sir!🙂

[@robertbruce545]

nothing works to change the video wall. the software is broken. I've watched all the video's, spent a month at this. The latest rendition of the software is junk.

[@skater96937]

Do you know where I can find the Tioc Alarm settings in Pss ?

[@Pablo-gp3zp]

how do I change the display name of each individual camera?

[@Gamtronix]

What if the DVR/Camera in on other network , can i use it from abroad PC?

[@johnisley4578]

Hi there, Great vid, however, even though I can see live in PSS I cant get anything to come up in playback. It tries searching but nothing? Any ideas. Cheers

[@tangoes2016]

thank you for the explanation sir, can I ask how many devices can SmartPSS hold, like the maximum number of video channels can SmartPSS support ?

[@Chanraybird]

Very thankfull. I got a question on smart pss. Everytime I login with admin account, I need to manually add the devices. How can I save the device list? Thanks

[@nimrodmarandela1156]

Please assist. I am after adding IP/domain and add but appearing offline. What did i miss?

[@franckolivier27]

Thanks for the video, mine doesn't record anymore, keep saying channel has no record. can you please assist here? Thanks

[@theleaderofficial]

My default group was erased all when my power was gone off and when its power goes up it was like my samrt pss was from the beginning and it’s never happened, So can u tell me how to get them all back?

[@Garage35Racing]

Question for you. Can you setup a video wall using multiple HDMI ports within the PC running smartpss connected to multiple monitors without using a external decoder device?

[@greg1961]

Can I create a view with say 9 cameras (we have 13 total cameras) and save that so tomorrow when I open Smart PSS I can just click on the view to see those same cameras? I could do that in my Hikvision but haven't figured it out on day 1 of Smart PSS. Thanks

[@abbas14333]

Excellent

[@Phildebougi]

Hi, could you please explain how to configure Smart PSS using the Dahua server serial number, in order to display the cameras views when my computer is connected to the internet through a different Wifi network than the Wifi network used by the cameras. Thank you for your assistance

[@joashlex]

Question what if i dont have a sd card can you show me to record it in your laptop every 12 hours and after that it will overwrite it?

[@billjames8036]

Damn you must live a pretty scary area..

[@rbaroncpd]

At 18:16 during the Playback section of the video, you pull up a calendar and on the 3 days prior to the date you have the blue dot on there are small blue dots on Mon the 1st, Tues the 2nd and Wed the 3rd. What do those blue dots mean? Great video!

[@danielscalioni]

If I've no mistakes, the blue dots are dates that has camera image recorded.

[@nhthys]

they no longer have smartpss for windows from the download site

[@allanmanley6340]

When you install a NVR do you do everything via the computer (NVR software) or do you also use a monitor connected to the NVR to do setup etc.?

[@rjbubba4335]

I need help with my DVR not NVR what is the different can't see my video?

[@scourge9869]

can we change the language into chinese???? thanks

[@S0K0N0MI]

SmartPSS has issues when the cameras are recording to a NAS. :-(

[@fahimanwar94]

Question - for some reason SMARTPSS is not finding my device. I have the IP address of my device, and I have the auto search, searching for the range which my device is in, but it cannot find it. Any suggestions?

[@basretie5179]

Same here ...

[@juliomartins6570]

i change de network but now dont work

[@sarasaleem7420]

I’m using the same username and password at 7:30 that I used when I login after clicking main manu to enter the live view part on monitor but It still shows offline idk how to fix it please guide me

[@topandrun126]

Windows 11 would not allow me to download this software. Anyone else having this problem downloading this software?

[@TuralBeatz]

thanks

[@alimibrahem8120]

Very thanksfull for your amazing video guide..Please my sir i have a question - (maybe this does not related to this video) - but in nvr storage setting i almost always wounder what is the difference between read/write mode and read mode..? and what is the apropriate selection and why.. Do you have an answer for this..? And thanks in advance..!

[@danielscalioni]

Hi, u need to choose read only when u need to keep all records untouchable. For instance when something happens and don't want that the records get lost by some camera recording and overwriting your data, but u need to turn on dvr to search some images

[@mohideenyasir9353]

Love it

[@MitchSpeck]

I have Smart PSS for mac. It is so glitchy and clunky. It takes forever for videos to load. Even when there is motion, the recording will stop for 10-15 seconds and then start again. It's so frustration and annoying. Any ideas as to why this is happening? The mobile app seems to have better functionality.

[@onnyt60]

Yup for me too. Im On a Intel iMac last model they made with 40GB of ram and it’s very shoppy. It also hoggs storage like nothing else. I running 16 cameras and it cashes up 100Gb of storage in no time. I tried to find something in settings to change hard drive but there isn’t.

[@adiazeem5947]

[@tufaahprime9751]

[@danielscalioni7122]

Very thankfull. Anyone knows how to add a DVR from another subnetwork? If I change subnetwork software find DVR, but when I add it shows gray ball displaying can not find network host.

[@MichielVerbrugge]

check your routing, it is possible the systems cannot connect

[@danielscalioni]

@@MichielVerbrugge did u already make this work? I'm asking because I can connect through browser on DVR.

[@MichielVerbrugge]

@@danielscalioni I never tried. But if your browser can connect your routing must be fine.

[@danielscalioni]

@@MichielVerbrugge As I was expecting, but unfortunately, it's not what happen :(. Seens that dvr only reply on same network to SmartPSS software. I'll try some more time and I inform u. Thanks a bunch.

[@nirhawk]

1:18 how to disable that ?
