    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Thanks for confirming, I thought I was going blind. Guess I just dont understand, surely it can't be that expensive to add a power button. Anyway plugging the plug it is but fingers crossed it will be a while before I next need to power off the NVR!

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Its taken a while but I think I may have accidentally come across the solution and hopefully this helps someone that has a similar issue. Anyway shortly after I resetted the NVR on 1 Feb, Cam 1 would continue to drop offline usually once or twice a day. I noticed when I reset the NVR the...

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Quick update. Just resetted the NVR to factory default (through the web UI) and set up from scratch so lets see if this resolves the issue. However I noticed that after resetting to factory default the camera names were still the names I had given them (ie the camera names did not default back...

    Hi Andy, I was wondering if there is a newer firmware for NVR4104HS-p-4KS2 as one of the four cameras drop offline about once every two days. Mine is currently on System Version: 4.001.0000001.0 Build Date: 2021-07-09 Thanks!

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Camera 1 just went offline again. Its getting a bit more frequent. That was the 2nd time today. I am probably going to bite the bullet and reset the NVR again and see if that fixes the issue.

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    I must have jinxed myself. After the power outage a few days ago, one of the cameras is now getting disconnected about once every two days. Its always the same camera (its Channel 1 in my screenshot below) but happens at different times. The good news is that I get an email alert of the...

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Ah i see. Not a big issue for me as I have setup tripwire so based on that i should be able to narrow down the time that I need to look at. Thanks again bigredfish! Can't thank you enough for helping me sort out these issues!

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Its been over a week now and all is well. I did have one cam drop offline shortly after power was restored following a power outage but now at least i get a notification when the cam goes offline. A quick reboot of the NVR and all four cams were back online. So far I haven't experienced any drop...

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Another good sign. I am finally getting proper cam offline emails! I used to get these false email alerts every few minutes (even though the cam was still connected) but I just tested it and I got a notification when I unplugged the network cable and also got another email saying the cam is back...

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    I am new to all these cams but agree for some of the dahua settings its not clear from the wording what it actually means. So far the reset seems to have solved some of my issues as I used to get quite a few cam disconnected emails overnight and when i woke up i was pleasantly surprised i didnt...

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Thanks Thanks spaceman. But once the cam is disconnected doesn't that mean it can't record on the hdd in the nvr? I am currently recording 24/7 does that mean I don't need to enable this disconnection setting?

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Forgot to ask but after I resetted the NVR and logged into the cams I noticed the motion detection and tripwire settings were still there. I didnt end up factory defaulting the cams as I wasn't sure that was required. Also I noticed this disconnection event type under Abnormality setting which...

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Just resetted the NVR to default and setup the cams. Now I can access the cams from the NVR via the blue IE icons! Going to see if this fixes the issue. Thanks all!

    Dahua Cameras Going Offline and Other Questions!

    Can you explain this virtual host a bit more? Is it a setting in the nvr? I don't need the cams to see the Internet so probably stick with the nvr poe for now. Thanks again!

    Dahua Cameras Going Offline and Other Questions!

    Good to know I am not the only one with this error. Maybe as u say it's the nvr 4.0 systems. Hopefully a firmware update fixes it. At the moment I don't to buy a poe switch just for this. What are the other benefits of having a dedicated poe switch as opposed to using the poe integrated in the nvr?

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Might be a dumb question but how do i login to the cameras? So far I have only logged into the NVR to do my settings. Also should the cams IP address be handled by my router rather than the NVR? At the moment the NVR dishes out the IP addresses to the cams (10.1.1.65 to 10.1.1.68) while the IPs...

    Thanks. My tabs are a bit different to yours. I have "Cam offline" which is presume is the same thing? Anyway I enabled and ticked the box but now I am getting these CAM offline emails even though the cams are still online. Is there something I am missing?

    Help needed! Recording outages with Dahua NVR

    Thanks for helping! Mine is pretty random as you can see in the attached. From about 815am to 10am all cameras are offline and then Cam 3 is off again from 2220 to 2300. I have also attached the log files for the period from 815am to 10am. As you can see they are all "remote info" and when i...

    My setup is four DH-IPC-HDW3849HP-AS-PV-0280B-3 connected to a NVR DHI NVR4104HS-p-4KS2. The NVR is connected to my router. Note sure if this is an issue but my router handles the IP addresses and I have given the NVR an IP of 192.168.1.202. The NVR in turn handles the IP of the 4 cameras...

    Dahua DMSS Remote Arming and Disarming

    Mate sorry I am a total beginner at these cam. What do you mean by disable alarm linkage? I see the non-L version is end of life so I suspect I am getting the L version so just confirm. Thanks!
