Another Dahua NVR problem

[Gleneroo]

Hello

Worked for several years with weekly reboot.

But now, at every reboot, my NVR DHI-NVR4108-P-4KS2 just looses all configurations !
Of course I didn't do any update.

I have to re-enter cameras passwords, DDNS, email settings, etc.

Anything I can do ?

Thank you

This shouldn't cause it, but check the battery on the motherboard to see if it's run down. Do this with the power dis-connected.

It looks pretty close to this discussion:

Dahua NVR 4104HS-P-4KS2 Losing settings

Hi All, I've got this NVR and it keeps losing some settings on reboot, It will lose all my camera passwords and also the Timezone setting. The Admin password sticks and is fine, wonder if anyone else has come across this?

They advise firmware update.
Still, strange it run without issue for 2 to 3 years, and now have this problem at every reboot.

Very odd indeed..

I restored to factory settings my NVR.
No firmware upgrade because it tells me I have the latest version (2018!).
I re-set everything. Everything works.
I didn't have courage to try rebooting yet.

I did a full NVR firmware upgrade thanks to Configtool. I will see at next reboots if the problem is corrected. In the meantime, the newer interface is much better.
