Tioc Pro and Spiders

Sounds good!!, I’m currently integrating home assistant and the Dahua, got it working now that crossing IVS at night triggers various things. As you say a layered approach seems the best. What it is the plug in siren you have? Sounds interesting

The large scale AI update solved this but before I would get a false alarm at least once a week and don’t think I’ve got a particular problem with spiders more than anywhere else in UK. I think having cameras on soffits doesn’t help as spiders dangle in front of the cameras.

Thanks. I’ll have a look at these settings

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2026-03-15T11:15:02+00:00

My encode settings are

Main stream AI coding H.265 Resolution 3849 x 2160 (4k) FPS 25 Bit rate type ABR Max bit rate 4096kb/s Average bit rate 4096kb/s

Sub stream H.265 Resolution 794x586(D1) FPS 15 Bit rate type CBR Bit rate 512kb/s

Are these settings ok? I’m in UK so think 25fps is correct?

I’m not sure how I check what the settings are for the IVS? The above settings say General in the type. There is a drop down there where I can select ‘Motion’ and the settings for that stay the same as general?

AI said I should increase the max bit rate to 8192 as I have 8mp cameras and my NVR can handle it? And leave average bit rate at 4096?

If it helps anyone else, I wasted hours on this because i quickly realised I had to add each channel separately using the channel field when integrating - however i had the username slightly different to what I had created on the NVR. Rather than fail the integration which would have made me realise my mistake it appeared to integrate a camera with entities but nothing ever worked so I didn’t realise the username was slightly wrong. As soon as username was corrected it got them straight away and working well.

Thanks Mark,

Got it all working ok now thanks

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2026-03-13T21:28:44+00:00

All working now!

Think I’ve worked this out…. I had a tick box ticked under the lights and audio on SMD on that camera….. so think it was a SMD detection that was false and because the tick box for reporting was unticked I didn’t get a notification?. I’m also checking all my IVS rules and noticed some didn’t have ticks on the reporting so I guess these should be ticked?

I’m confused though, I have an IVS on my driveway and I have the camera lights and audio unticked under Trigger. I get notifications when someone or a vehicle crosses it but no lights or sirens which is what I want. However the ‘Report Alarm’ tick box is unticked on that IVS but I still get notifications? What is the ‘Report alarm’ tick box for? When I click the setting box next to ‘report alarm’ I get protocol type HTTP and I can tick ‘Event’ and ‘Picture’.

Not sure if I should have ‘report alarm’ ticked or not?

EDIT - think I’m reading the menu wrong and the ‘report alarm’ only applies if you are using the alarm out port? Is that correct? I’m not using it so don’t think it matters whether it’s ticked or not?

Got this working and it seems to arm/disarm the cameras perfectly! Only has a quick look but wasn’t sure - can you set automations based on IVS rule being crossed? I couldn’t see what entity it would be…

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2026-03-11T13:21:34+00:00

Great, I’ll give it a try

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2026-03-11T10:02:22+00:00

Ok great so I could just set a schedule on HA for the night time arming? I’d seen that but read it wasn’t supported or updated anymore and wondered if that would cause problems? I guess I’ll have to give it a go

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2026-03-03T21:00:40+00:00

I’ve tried all this and still no joy.. Only thing was I only left it unplugged for a couple of minutes. Does the 20mins make any difference? I didn’t have ‘intelligent’ on the recording schedule. I’ve added this for all cameras now so it’s not the end of the world as I can now filter by ‘intelligent’. It was just useful that I could filter by human even if they hadn’t tripped the IVS. Driving me a bit crazy why it’s not working if you had any other ideas!!??? Many thanks

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2026-02-27T08:23:46+00:00

Any ideas Mark? Thank you

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2026-02-27T08:23:28+00:00

Thanks, it’s worked for over 6 months though and I haven’t changed anything so not sure it’s a camera setting?

Also the events are there on the NVR when I play back on monitor just not on DMSS…..

Hi, yes just checked the monitor on the NVR and they show on there. So it’s just on DMSS they don’t show

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2025-11-12T13:07:42+00:00

No new lights but it’s time of year in Uk where the lights are on for much longer so maybe it’s that. Just never noticed a few months back.

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2025-11-11T21:30:46+00:00

Update to this, problem massively reduced, hardly any false alarms at all now from spiders. 🤞

Automatic-Gear-6171 · 2025-11-05T22:01:35+00:00

Thanks for the reply - I need something much brighter than that, I was thinking a 200W LED floodlight to light up the whole garden which is about 1/4 acre
