What are iDMSS and gDMSS?
DMSS (Digital Mobile Surveillance System) is an application for mobile phones and tablets, which allows you to centrally manage various security devices. It is the official application of the Dahua brand, reference manufacturer in CCTV, and is also compatible with all products of the X-Security brand. On the DMSS version for PC, it does not exist under that name since it was replaced some time ago by the Smart PSS software. Also, for PC, we recommend the Dahua Tool Box utilities suite.
How to download the applications?
The prefix "g" or "i" differentiates the applications destined to Android and iPhone / iPad and thus we will find them in the official Google Play and App Stores:
- gDMSS and gDMSS HD: Complete versions of the applications for Android mobile and tablet respectively.
- gDMSS Lite and gDMSS HD Lite: Basic and free versions of the above.
- iDMSS and iDMSS Lite: Complete and reduced versions for iPhone
- iDMSS HD and iDMSS HD Lite: Full and reduced versions for iPad
To date, DMSS Plus was paid while the Lite version was free. The differences between DMSS Lite and Plus are: E-Map (visual and functional installation plans), alarm management and Push notifications. Currently there is no need to choose since Dahua has published the Plus version totally free. In addition, this publication is already adapted to the new regulations GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
In the same way, you can download the software that would be equivalent to the DMSS version for PC in the Visiotech Academy, within the section referring to the X-Security brand.
What features do these apps offer?
The mentioned applications have undergone several updates that improve their functioning and increase their capacities, so that sometimes, it is difficult to follow all the news. Therefore, let's see a small summary of what they offer us in the management of our video surveillance devices:
