Do you also use triggers which are configured for IVS in the NVR?
No I use Blueiris.
My problem occurs with triggers set up in the NVR. Actually, it's the only place I can set them up. This option does not appear in any of the Camera(s) IVS settings.
Be sure you have smart codec turned off in the cams, it disabiles ivs menus.
Yep, same to me. Somit seems the NVR does a „strange“ call to the PTZ that it won’t go back to idle position. Or maybe it’s a wanted „feature“ of Dahua to keep the cam in the position it was externally triggered. But in my opinion it should to the idle thing anyway.
I don’t think weigle has problems to find IVS settings in the cam. In the cams UI there is of course no trigger configuration for a PTZ in the IVS settings because the cams don’t know each other, but the NVR knows them and can trigger another cam in the case of an event.
Yes, IVS in the cams works fine. It's only the trigger to preset set up in the NVR that has become an issue. What is most troubling is, that I have not made any changes (firmware updates) to either the cams or NVR. The return to preset worked fine, until I started having the microSD card issue in the PTZ. Since then, it does not return to preset, after getting triggered. Can't explain it.
To be honest, I don’t know if it worked properly for me in the past. Because I had set the idle preset to a position the cam often is in because of the IVS triggers. Now I wanted the cam in an overview position when it’s idle and recognized that it only works if PTZ was manually moved.
Ok, so it seems it’s not only NVR/PTZ related as it works for you.
What is the difference between the $500 one?
PTZPreset - Dahua Wiki Can refer to this link.
I have a Dahua OEM Amcrest PTZ camera which I believe is somewhat similar to your camera.
I think you’re thinking about the angles in terms of a compass and the camera uses polar coordinates. In mathematics, 0deg would be East and the angle increases CCW, north would therefore be 90deg, West=180deg, South=270deg, etc...
