I am going to keep an eye on it and see how it handles the light transition from day to night. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for y'alls help. Hopefully this clears up the issue. Won't really know until dusk tomorrow, that's usually when the flickering starts.

I tried that on both and it appears to be working. I'll have to run it for a few days like this to see if it glitches.

Hi Bigfish. yes it is the Boobiecam. It looks like biggen suggestion seems to work.

This is a Dahua IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2-2.8mm Started a while back. Usually starts when dusk hits and stops after it is completely dark. I turned off IR completely and it is still flashing.

I can't figure this out. I messed with ALL of the "condition" settings and nothing is working. This happens when dusk hits and the IR kicks on. I tried google with no luck but maybe I am not searching the correct issue. Any suggestions on what settings to adjust or what to google to figure out...

@looney2ns I do have alarm wires connected on this camera. I can take the camera down and look to see if any are touching. Might be hard to see though. Thanks

I've been dealing with this for a while. The alarm will randomly kick on during the day. I don't have any triggers set during daylight hours. I have several cameras connected to a Dahua NVR. I checked the log on the NVR and it shows this: I am not sure I am reading this correctly. Does this...

Ok, I'll give a factory reset a shot. I think I tried that before and had this same issue. It was a while back so I can't really remember.

Appears to be 4MP per the information tab. Also, should I update the firmware on this guy? Latest firmware was released May 2023.

Yes, I am using IE 11. FPS to 5 doesn't do anything. I have IVS rules set up on Channel 1 but I can't create a rule on Channel 2.

Got an issue with setting up IVS on channel 2 on IPC-HDBW5441F-AS-E2. IVS is enabled. but when I try to click the + to set up an IVS rule, it does nothing. Tried to reset to default and save and save failed. Anyone else encounter this issue? I did a search for this issue on here but...

@EyeOfSauron did you find a solution that works?

Yep, looks like that was it BR. No alerts have been generated after several hours now. Thank you very much for the helpful suggestion.

I totally understand, I dont even remember what I ate for breakfast today. but what you are suggesting is clearing the IVS settings on the NVR, correct?

@garycrist I appreciate your help, thank you. I think I might have been dealing with a misconfigured camera/NVR. I have another post where a Color4K-X has been generating alerts. Come to find out, I think the smartplan/IVS on the NVR was active when it shouldnt have been and was causing the...

Hey Bigred! Brother you may have just helped me figure this out. I don't set IVS on the NVR, is that what you mean by the NVR doing the alerting? I have smartplan and IVS is set up on the Color-4K-X. Anyway, I went into the NVR to check IVS for channel 15 (the asshole camera in question) and...

Definitely spending way too much time on this!! I would like to figure out why this particular camera is exhibiting this behavior. I have the same model camera bought around the same time right next to this one with no issues presented.

I unplugged and there are no alerts on the NVR.

I believe the alarm_out wire on the cameras generates 300mA 12 VDC from the Dahua spec sheet. The K80 specs show it can handle 3 A. I have four cameras wired to the relay. The relay is controlling a siren so when any of the alarm_out wires on the cameras trigger, the relay will power the siren...

looong way. 70' maybe

Hello Gary, no, the last one just died today while I was home. No power fluctuations, no storms, not even raining. Just started triggering the alarm until I cut power to it.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if you can help me with this question. I am having some issues with a relay in the attic. I think the heat is murdering these things. I thought it was due to power surge but I've had two die this summer with no power issues. I can't really move this guy inside very easily...

I am not sure if I will explain this correctly but there are no alerts generated on the camera. I can log into the camera and check the logs but there are no alerts. The only way I can see what alerts are generated by the cameras is to check the NVR. I do have IVS set up for intrusion on the...

I'll default to factory settings, reinstall firmware, and then try a reboot.

Alright, looks like it is still throwing alerts after firmware update. Any other suggestions? Must be a ghost out there

that is a great idea BigRed! If you dont mind, could you send me the version you have or point me to where I can get my older version of firmware for the 3.6mm Color4K-X? Your version is about 3 months newer than the version I have.

Seems like I already have similarly dated firmware. Also what is weird is that this was working great until a few days ago. Nothing changed. Didn't change any settings. Didn't mess with it in any way. Just blasted the siren one morning at 5 am and it been a POS ever since.

No it is definitely not activating on actual motion. Where the camera is located, there is no motion observed. It is in a backyard and there has been no people, foot traffic, etc.

copy, will do. Yeah brother this thing has got me baffled. I just redid everything we talked about and it stopped generating alarms again. Something is going on where it flips out and starts firing them off for no reason. Regarding the firmware, should I reach out to Andy directly? I dont see...
