Hello,

Looking for advise. I have a Dahua NVR 5232-16P-4KS2E that after a recent shut down (power outage) although NVR sits behind a UPS. The NVR fails to save and pull configuration file after the NVR is either shut down or reboot. NVR simple defaults back to factory default settings, so it needs to be re-configured everytime. NVR is currently running latest firmware, but when it initially happen was on previous firmware.
The question is, any idea of a possible remediation to this issue. If no resolution is found I plan on replacing unit altogether with a new one, however it just occurred to me that the culprit could be the HDD? anyone know where the configuration file is actually saved, if on HDD or does the NVR have some sort of internal storage for configuration settings? TIA
 
The HDD only stores video and nothing related to the actual operation of the NVR or firmware.

Before replacement, I would suggest a couple of factory resets of the NVR and a reflash of the firmware. And a format of the HDD for good measure.
