That’s strange, thanks for the info, @EMPIRETECANDY had suggested the firmware upgrade to me.

@Balthus_nox I have V4.002.0000000.6.R, Build Date: 2022-11-15 and still do not have my alarm box working

That works! says my version is 2.84 But I've tried several commands in the v2.8 API and get "not implemented" I think I'm getting some results with the command: http://10.10.1.108/cgi-bin/eventManager.cgi?action=attach&codes=[VideoMotion%2CCrossLineDetection%2CCrossRegionDetection] but entering...

@PPaul I have the NVR5208-4KS2e and have never been able to get my alarm box to work. I have very recent firmware. Have you learned any tricks to get it to work?

following up on my previous question. Is there any mapping of what versions or functions of the API are supported by certain NVR firmware versions . I'm trying to get the NVR event manager working so I can be alerted in my Eisy home automation system when specific IVS rules are triggered.

I have tried a number of commands in the latest API document and get the message "Error not implemented". With a NVR5208-8p-4ks2e and firmware V4.002.0000000.6.R, Build Date: 2022-11-15 . Should I expect the following to work...

Thanks @powerin.lt . Yes the alarm disable does seem to work. It still is a mystery why the more detailed IVS commands like: http://xxx:xxx@10.10.1.108/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=VideoAnalyseRule don't' work to the NVR even though they are listed in the API document I have...

This works when sent directly to the camera! My cameras are POE connected to the NVR, however, and I can only open a temporary connection via the camera tab and webpage link since they are on a separate network. If you find a way to do this to the NVR that would be amazing.

Thanks for your help powerin.lt! OK, I've updated my firmware to V4.002.0000000.6.R, Build Date: 2022-11-15 and still can't get this to work, I get the same results. I've tried pasting: http://xxx:xxx@10.10.1.108/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=VideoAnalyseRule into Edge and...

Thanks for this tip! VideoAnalyzeRule was not listed in any API document I have. However I have tried testing the following commands from my browser and from a curl get command and don't get any results or effects...

Hmmm, I’ll see if andy King can find out about support.

That’s the problem, it never connects so all those screens are greyed out. It’s possible the nvr doesn’t support it but it has the rs-485 terminals. I was hoping someone would know if it wasn’t supported

My understanding is the dip switches allow you to differentiate between multiple alarm boxes on the same cable but there is no corresponding dip switch on the NVR so any switch setting should work. My green light only blinks once , presumably Since it was not able to connect. Thanks for the ideas.

anyone else have the arb1606 alarm box? any trouble getting it connected?

I have an NVR5208-8p-4ks2e and just got the alarm box arb1606. I've updated to the 20210709 firmware and connected the RS485 cable a to a , b to b, gnd to gnd. Still haven't got the NVR to recognize the alarm box. I've restarted the NVR and alarm box, the alarm box blinks once green then only...
