    Camera/cameras not keeping expert settings-Yellow triangle under Camera tab in NVR...

    Re: Camera/cameras not keeping expert settings-Yellow triangle under Camera tab in NV ah ok yes i spoke with their support and its a sync which may or may not happen even without a reboot but in your case sounds odd but makes sense. hopefully they will make a firmware to address but who...

    Camera/cameras not keeping expert settings-Yellow triangle under Camera tab in NVR...

    Re: Camera/cameras not keeping expert settings-Yellow triangle under Camera tab in NV One note though is that the setting from the camera only impacts the camera it doesn't trigger nvr action so setting the camera expert mode is great for emails but if you want record trigger it doesn't seem to...

    camera/nvr interaction and event triggering

    Now that the cameras can finally see the light, ahem I mean world wide web here is something that need a little clarification. Lets say i setup motion on the camera itself and have it email me that works, but since the camera has much more granular adjustment than the NVR is there any way to...

    maybe on my list later but for now I am ok with a solution or at least something that give me the bottom line. Hopefully this thread will be very useful for someone as it was for me after all without the guidance here would have never even though of all the items. it is a huge shame though...

    @aster1x, unfortunately there is not a spare to test with (though may consider getting a separate L3 device - thought about it a while ago but figured if it ain't broke don't fix it well now it's broke). would wireshark show me dropped packets etc and just a be a more comprehensive version of...

    @aster1x @alastairstevenson since I have been harrasing both of you, it is only right for me to provide some information found and somewhat confirmed (yet not fixed) this may also be useful for some poor soul like me in the future. Long story short leaving the subnet as a /16 (255.255.0.0) puts...

    So my router is fios provided actiontec mi424 revision g. It is connected coax from service and there it converts coax to Ethernet internally with I'm guessing a bridge mode as I don't have the wan port. So it's a modem router. One other thing I have not tried and don't really have the...

    Right sorry should have said I did turn on virtual host and did set cameras to 254.1 gateway. The ONLY thing I have not done is power off the unit after changes but reboot did take place

    @aster1x @alastairstevenson guys not to beat a dead horse to death but I am still unable to get camera to see the wan. just wanted to revisit and brainstorm possible reasons. I have done as described in this thread, set static route to 192.168.254.0, with 192.168.1.200 as the gateway, set the...

    I have not yet but yesterday had a chance to try it a different way connected my laptop to a Poe port and with all routing in place I was able to get back to the router so I know routing is working but I couldn't get out to the web even if/when I set the DNS on the laptop manually. What I'm...

    motion sensitivity

    thanks for confirming. one would think a setting of 1 on the nvr would set something higher than 0 on the cameras. guess will have to get used to it. thanks again.

    Yes i have actually just earlier today noticed the thanks feature and have happily began to use it as you guys have been most helpful. as far as dns all of my devices are working without issue, the NVR is able to get to ntp servers as well as smtp servers to send emails so I can't imagine there...

    My first attempts have failed..

    Thanks @kccustom, so I guess the question is what is the actual trigger to tell the camera to send to the nvr? Is it simply turning the feature on on the camera and if that's the case isn't it enough to turn on the feature via the nvr since it then turns on the camera setting anyway?

    Thanks again @aster1x, yes I have been able to get things to work BUT I had to expand the subnet which is not ideal, as soon as I put the subnet back to .0 it again stops working. My settings again are nvr 192.168.1.200 set as static on the router so the nvr picks this up itself at which...

    also on this topic is a somewhat interesting question: if i do all these changes what if anything does that impact with regard to how the cameras interact with the NVR? will i potentially lose some of the nvr built in functionality since it will not be talking the way it thinks it should be?

    motion sensitivity

    ok i will admin i will have quite a few more questions in the coming days so bare with me. trying to set the motion alerts and it seems like leaves are setting it off. so i adjusted the sensitivity to 1 on the nvr 7608 but that seems to yield a 0 sensitivity on the cameras themselves 2332...

    My first attempts have failed..

    @kccustom is it possible to do the same set motion on camera and have it send event to nvr and nvr send email? i currently have the nvr sending the emails on its own but may be interested in doing more granular expert motion config for day/night and given the issues with the networking whether...

    @aster1x ok thank you so here is the biggest question is there a need to do anything at all on the nvr or my network to make sure its working right? do i need to set the default gateway on the nvr to 1.1 or 254.1 or to the lan ip of the nvr which is 1.200? do i need to setup a static route on...

    Yup I got this far after following the steps here. I did have the router subnet set to 255.255.255.0 and when it was the cameras had no access to the outside they were failing. The issue it seems is there is no easy way to turn off the dhcp of the nvr and there is no physical link between the...

    So after speaking with Verizon and actiontec I had an aha moment which is the section I changed is the routers subnet thereby enabling it to talk to a wider range.

    @aster1x, i'm not really sure what i did as i'm not a network guy BUT maybe someone here can help explain. here is the walk through my network is on a verizon so i have the actiontec mi424 router. local network is 192.168.1.1, 255.255.255.0 the nvr has ip 192.168.1.200, 255.255.255.0...

    AHA FINALLY so I have to double check what this setting does BUT a friend of mine is a networks guy and told me that 2 subnets can only talk on a 255.255.0.0 mask. SO i set on my router a section to 255.255.0.0 for subnet and i still have the right ip address but now the routing is going to...

    also i was just playing around some more (loosing sleep over this). i have removed the loop back and setup some portion of the routing which works somewhat ok but still doesn't let me get out to the world with the cameras. in either case i seem to have an issue where the events don't seem to...

    newbie and lots of questions please read :)

    @zero-degrees lowest sensitivity you mean probably the equivalent of 1 on the hik?

    I think I was looking at the wrong port when I said 100 yes I'm connected to lan at 1Gb. I can't access the web from the camera even after making the direct route change. I can ping the unit at 192.168.254.1 and I can get to the unit itself at that address whereas otherwise I wasn't BUT I...

    front porch cam position

    @zero-degrees thanks for the input. I always try to think there is a better way or right way but sounds like it's only best right whichever way it works. Just a though my but what if I were able to either use an electrical junction box or some sort of custom small box to go in the top corner...
