I have the DVR-LT4120MHD, 4 channel DVR. I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 9.1. I've tried both TechproSS version 3.24.0300 and iDMSS Plus version 3.40.003. Both softwares I've tried on my iPad and iPhone, both running the same iOS 9.1. both applications will randomly stop receiving push notifications. Sometimes I can disable push notifications in the applications, close the app, then reopen the app and turn push notifications back on. When that does not work, I can usually go to the DVR and restart it. One of those two methods typically gets the notifications working again. The notices may work for weeks at a time and then randomly stop. Seems unreliable at best. I can never find any changes to the apps or the DVR settings. Any ideas on what could be causing this random issue? I am not changing internet providers, or any network equipment, or any other configurations. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Hello,
Please check under maintenance section that the dvr is set to auto reboot at least once a week. Alternatively I believe you can set it to reboot every day as well. If the reboot every day is not there or does not fix the problem please go into the logs and see if there is anything in there that may give indication to the problem. Such as network loss or hard drive errors. The other thought I have is you may need an older version of the app since you have an older dvr. I am checking into getting older versions of the app. Reply back in a day or so or private message me and I will let you know what i find.
I just found out with the IOS there is now way to go backwards in app versions. Let me know what you find in testing and we will go from there.

I'm not entirely sure what to look for with respect to network drops or HDD failures. There does not seem to be any error messages on the DVR that I can find. I did change the auto maintenance from never to daily. I would also like to know if there is a firmware update for my DVR. It currently has system version 2.616..GV00.0 and Web 3.0.0.1. Lastly please let me know which app is best for my system and what version I should use. Thanks so much for your help!
Are you connecting to the DVR via p2p, or the IP address?

I am using QuickDDNS in iDMSS Plus. Is there a better way? My current configuration does not allow me to watch videos sent via push when I am on my home wifi. I must turn wifi off on my iPhone to see the video live or push notification videos. If a different way is more reliable can you please provide instructions on how to set-up?

I called today and Heath was a big help. He helped me with my router, and found it seems I have a HDD issue that may have been causing the push notifications to stop working. There was also a LAN download box that was turned on that he said may have caused issues. He recommended the Western Digital Purple drive. That particular drive is not listed in my DVR manual as compatible. The specific drive I found is WD20PURX. Can you confirm that drive will work on my DVR-LT4120MHD?
Are there any firmware updates for my DVR system? If so how do i get them? Current version is: 2.616..GV00.0 and Web 3.0.0.1. Thanks for all your help!

OK, so push notifications are not working again. I have a new AT&T U-Verse Gateway (NVG599) which SCK tech support set up for me. Dan reset my DVR to factory settings and then reconfigured. I tested the power supply and it is pumping out 12.5 VDC. The HDD seems to be working fine (its a brand new WD Purple 1TB) and when I log into the DVR directly, the HDD says normal. I can use iDMSS Plus version 3.40.005 and Techpross Plus version 3.40.003 to Live Preview all the cameras, view playback, and subscribe and unsubscribe to push notifications. However the push notifications are not working at all now. I am running Apple iPhone 6 with iOS 9.2.
My DVR has System Version 2.616.GV00.0, Build date 2013/07/26. Dan sent me a new firmware to install (General_DVR5X04_Eng_PN_V3.200.001.24.R.20141114 2.bin) which I tried to install via a thumb drive formatted to FAT32 and the file was the only file on the thumb drive. After that failed, I was told to try to update the firmware via the web interface, this did not work either.
I am not sure what else I can do. There are forums online stating that if your DVR firmware is out of date, then the newest versions of the iOS applications may not work for push notifications.
In a previous post Dan mentions going backwards in iOS app versions, how is that accomplished? Maybe that will fix this problem? If the DVR firmware updates will not work on my DVR, then maybe an older version of the iDMSS or Techpross app will restore push notifications to a reliable state.
This is extremely frustrating and I am sure the SCK tech folks wish it worked so I would stop bugging them.

I am sorry you are having issues with this. Please do send an email to support@techprosecurity.com and make it attention Jose. I can downgrade your application using your computer and Itunes. You will need to remove the app from your phone, ensure you have done a complete back up of your phones data before we install a downgraded version.
From what I see there are notes showing that your firewall was not set properly for port forwarding. Please also add the DDNS address as well as IP address if not using a DDNS address on your email so that I may check versions on my IPhone 6S Plus running the latest IOS Firmware.
We will be here for half a day. I can help you with this today if you have the time.

I have been having the same problem with no push notifications since upgrading my iPhone 5s to iOS 9. The same thing happened when I upgraded to iOS 8 last year and the problem lasted until the TechPro app was updated which took a couple of months. Does anyone know if there is an issue with the app not being compatible with iOS 9?

I have an iPhone 6s Plus 128GB with the TechProSS app and the push is working with no issues. I would reinstall it and see if that fixes the issue. I have also seen this happen with a JB iPhone as it modifies the root.

Thanks for your reply Jose. My phone is not jailbroken. I reinstalled the app and no success. Would it be possible to have someone remote in and see if my settings are correct? Please let me know and I can PM my info.
Thanks!

Remote into your mobile? We do not have a tool that supports this. I can however test this on a phone I have for developing. Post all the phones information.
Make/Model
OS/Version
App Name (Lite/Pro)
Last time updated app.

Also- I notice that on the live preview the names of my cameras (Driveway, Garage, etc) show up on the video, however, the names are not showing up on the push setup page. Not sure if this has something to do with it.
