Dahua - I Frame Interval not available?

[Data1]

Is there a reason why my I Frame Interval would be grayed out and not adjustable? It was adjustable the other day, but not now. It's like this on all cameras on my NVR ( NVR5216-16P-I ).

It's grayed out and shows 2 S (Two seconds?) in the area where I normally use 15 or 30.

You should be making all camera adjustments directly in the cameras web interface, not with the NVR.
Connect to the NVR with it's web interface, then look for the Blue Internet explorer "E" in camera setup.
Click the E, and that will open the cameras setup interface.

Yes, you are likely using a smart or + codec. Disable it.

I checked and Smart codec is off, but I was able to change it by accessing the cameras directly. Thanks!
I wonder why the option would be grayed out and unavailable in the NVR all of a sudden though...

Rule of thumb is to always make adjustments to cameras directly through the GUI of the camera whether they're on an NVT or a VMS.
