I'm using IVS on some of my Dahua cams and wanted to look at the log file to see the events logged but noticed only account info is recorded to the log and none of the other stuff. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing to enable this or does one have to install a mem card in the cam to make this work?

Which camera model? If it's one of the 'volt' series, I suspect this is a firmware bug. My IPC-T5442TM-AS does not log any IVS events, having seen this with multiple versions of the firmware. It does log motion detection events.

IPC-HDW5231R-ZE is the one in question. I have two of them but I also have three of the IPC-T5442TM-AS.
 
My 5231s log IVS events, so I'm wondering now if the problem could be newer firmware across multiple camera types, specifically the V2.800... versions. I could just be randomly shooting in the dark, too.....
 
I have 2.800.0000013.0.R, Build Date 2019-12-02 on the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and 2.800.0000000.10.R, Build Date 2019-11-18 on the IPC-T5442TM-AS
