    NV5232 less stable than NV4116?

    I set fan speed to high and temp dropped a bit. Let’s see how it goes. Maybe I can do without the daily reboot now.

    NV5232 less stable than NV4116?

    Thanks. What’s your temp & cpu utilization at for reference?

    NV5232 less stable than NV4116?

    Well, that’s disappointing. The self adaptive setting for the fan should raise its speed if the cpu is getting too hot. I’ll try changing the setting to constant instead of self adaptive and see what effect that has on temp. Not looking forward to the whine of 8600rpm. If it makes a difference...

    NV5232 less stable than NV4116?

    That’s an idea. I’ll check the router logs first. If I disconnect the Poe switch from the router, I lose the WiFi mesh connection to two WiFi doorbells and one WiFi cam.

    NV5232 less stable than NV4116?

    Non-POE. Logs are ordinary right up until the abnormal reboot. I think I can rule out heat…

    NV5232 less stable than NV4116?

    If I did that, none of the cams would be connected to it. This model only has the one port.

    NV5232 less stable than NV4116?

    P2P is disabled. I have DMSS configured to connect by IP (using dynamic dns and port forwarding). New NVR is configured with same static IP as the one it replaced. connecting by IP a no-go when it’s in this state. The only relevant log entry is the one that indicates “Abnormal Reboot”

    NV5232 less stable than NV4116?

    By hangs, I mean I can’t connect to it remotely through the DMSS app, and attempting to search or access any feature through the console results in a reboot. When it comes back online, it’s apparent that it hasn’t been recording any channel for some length of time. (Hours or days depending on...

    NV5232 less stable than NV4116?

    For years, I ran a hodgepodge of 14 mixed brand ONVIF cams on an Amcrest NV4116 with the only Dahua firmware version that preserved motion detection on all the cams. Several months ago, I swapped it out for an Amcrest NV5232 and updated that with again… the only Dahua firmware version that...

    FiOS router coming online interrupts camera feeds... why?

    My NVR only has the one network port and I need to access it from the internet, so if you’re right, then this is unavoidable.

    FiOS router coming online interrupts camera feeds... why?

    Agreed. I don’t think that’s it either. Considering how infrequently my router gets rebooted (firmware updates every few years), this isn’t an issue that warrants the effort it might take to solve it. It’s more of a puzzle, really.

    FiOS router coming online interrupts camera feeds... why?

    Yes. As an added measure, I also have static assignment of those addresses to those MACs in the router, in case DHCP gets enabled on the devices. Internet access is blocked for the cams’ addresses as well, but that shouldn’t matter to the nvr or the pc, which added the cams by IP address.

    FiOS router coming online interrupts camera feeds... why?

    This is what has me confused… it’s all intrasubnet traffic. The ip-cams, NVR and blur Iris pc are all on the same subnet. What’s more is that I can unplug the Ethernet cable from the router and everything keeps working. Likewise if I unplug the routers power cable. The interruption only occurs...

    FiOS router coming online interrupts camera feeds... why?

    I think you might have hit the nail on the head. At least the part about the function that the router is performing. I’ll look into forcing a static route independent of that router. Thanks.

    FiOS router coming online interrupts camera feeds... why?

    Tonight my usually bulletproof FiOS service was interrupted when a firmware update was pushed to my router. After twice restarting the router, I finally had to power cycle the ONT to restore internet access after the event. That aside, I noticed something I can't reconcile. Both times that...

    NVR Max HDD size

    When I bought my Dahua oem'd Amcrest-branded 4-series NVR, the specs said the largest single drive it could support was 6TB. Recently, Dahua updated the spec for the old model NVR4116-HS on which my NV4116-HS is based, to specify that it supports 10TB drives. Tonight, I installed a single...

    Latest new NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_ V4.001.0000005.1.R.201126

    Tonight I tried DH_NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000005.1.R.210713 on my NV4116-HS and once again, a new firmware KILLS MOTION DETECTION for all my ONVIF cameras. I rolled back to DH_NVR4XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.001.0000000.1.R.200319 and all is well again.

    DMSS Alexa skill?

    Just discovered that there's a DMSS Alexa skill. I have DMSS installed on my iPhone and two compatible Alexa devices (an Echo Show and a Firestick 4K), so I'd like to try it. Every time I try to enable the skill, I'm asked to provide my DMSS login, and then I'm told the login ID and password...

    I just read this... https://research.nccgroup.com/2020/12/18/domestic-iot-nightmares-smart-doorbells/ While the devices tested don't appear to be the same as the one I tested, the similarities are enough (mearitek / CloudEdge) to make me feel uncomfortable continuing to use it. I've changed...

    testing out a cheap doorbell cam...

    After many frustrations with my AD110, which only works with Alexa show & firestick in the hours following a restart, but otherwise works OK... I tried a $49 2k wired doorbell cam from Amazon which promised to check all the boxes. There are three such doorbell cams there currently. By all...

    Dahua NVR playback stops at recording type change

    I use a Dahua 4116 4k NVR to record multiple cams continuously, with motion enabled. Playing back multiple NVR recorded streams simultaneously and in sync works beautifully via Smart PSS on my desktop. (Smart PSS is playing from the NVR, there are no local recordings or PC-NVR in use.) Each...

    Hikvision DS-HD1 doorbell cam

    Anyone have any experience with the Hikvision DS-HD1 doorbell cam? I'm tempted to try one and tired of fighting with my AD110 which only works with Alexa immediately following a restart. It seems feature-for-feature compatible and ups the ante with 5ghz wifi. My main asks are: powers from...

    Events : subscription 00002efd

    Yeah, no argument there about BI motion detection being better than what the cameras have built in. Rain and fog cause false motion alerts from the cameras all the time. I just wanted to start with BI as a drop-in replacement for everything my NVR is currently doing. When I couldn’t find a...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    I’m using SH on an iPhone. Trying to talk by initiating talk from SH without any button press fails. I can live with that, because I can initiate talk if I need to from DMSS and AmcrestViewPro. Now that I’ve reset, skipped chime setup, and not adjusted the chime volume I can answer calls made...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    Just used SH to change doorbell chime volume from Loud to Mute and now talk feature is not working again, and Echo Show reports it's not responding (it was working after the reset). Setting it back to Loud took multiple attempts because the app's slider bar would not respond. Setting it back...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    Just did a reset and this time during setup I chose to skip the chime setup (was mechanical previously). On first test, bell press produced a call I could answer from smart home, but no chime inside and Alexa didn’t tell me anyone was at the door either. I’ll recheck the Alexa skill. If I can...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    Thanks for the info. My NVR is also Dahua OEM so it’s using the private protocol to talk to the cam. I haven’t changed any encoding settings since the last factory reset but I did lose motion detection out of the clear blue sky one day and then restored it by reenabling it through the...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    There’s an abundance of owners reporting “failed to talk” errors from SH and being unable to answer. Until recently, I was always able to answer calls by using the talk feature in two other apps instead of SmartHome. Only recently did the speaker volume begin to reset to zero on bell press...

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    Wow. You’re the first I’ve seen report no issues with answering a call. Are you running any NVR or VMS with it, or just using SmartHome and nothing else? Also... which firmware? Thanks.

    Amcrest SmartHome Video Doorbell Camera AD110

    @Bitslizer yes, I’ve tried resets. Perhaps it’s the firmware version I’m on. Does anyone’s AD110 actually allow a bell press to be answered? I’m under the impression that the talk feature fails in SmartHome regardless of app or firmware version. I thought I was ahead of the curve being able to...
