IDS is a locally manufactured product. they use to have a top class technical support. Unfortunately it is going to take a while before the new recruits can answer advanced questions without having to refer to the senior techs.
I have 2 x full X64 systems I use as test rigs in my workshop complete with Dahua CCTV systems linked.
IDS have a few issues they need to sort out, one downside, being the HYYP app, bottom line its like comparing a fax machine to an mobile phone. The app is not as user friendly as other apps I have used, it fact it is a little outdated, by about 5 years. I am hoping one day they will launch a decent app which can intergrade with CCTV with the tap of a button like most IOT devices.
I trust the system enough to use it in my own home.
