Totally agree with this report. The IVS configuration options are confusing and hard to set and fine tune. No one at Dahua could tell us what they all actually mean fully and the manual mentions IVS but that's about it.
Also on the notification side Dahua has serious issues in their implementation of smtp email. So even if you detect something you have difficulty setting it up to tell you about it! We have to almost trick it into working...
Another thing we have found is the way the emails are sent you seem to get a flurry of emails on the IVS event and a random stop email. There is no way to switch this stop email off. If you were remotely monitoring using this you could increase false alarms unless you configure the software to ignore these stop emails.
Shame it's so nearly there..

I tested several Dahua cameras and I have more less same experience as you. I must say that for the price Dahua is selling the cameras it is not that bad.
I must add that I had a lot of false alarms when I was testing it in medium - heavy fog environment. While creating crossing beam rules any object call the alarm ... even the football ball from the neighbors create alarm.

I assume the Missed Detections Outdoors is not triggering an alarm because in environments not as quiet and clean as yours this would cause tons of false alarms by distant movement.

It seems that both HV and Dahua are struggling with analytics.
Why don't they just buy an analytics company?
Since Avigilon is not an option anymore there are smaller companies that they can buy cheaply.
Coming out with this quality products doesn't help their name...

Like to see some updates on this, so far I love what can be done with IVS.
I have now deployed several systems on personal properties and construction sites, and have been super happy with the additional features from IVS.
Now you can compete with ring cameras lol
Basically you now have push notifications to the pro app and the customer can turn on or off notifications per camera!
No real training with this just had some customers who insisted I make the false alarms work, and now feel this IVS stuff can help in meany ways on a cheaper camera system for small business and homes.
Hope to hear what you guys have seen in the last year.

Todd, I took a look at Dahua IVS and I am not seeing any difference, what specifically have you seen with performance that is different from our testing?
