Dahua NVR, footage randomly getting deleted??

[alastairstevenson]

never had this issue with any NVR i have used in the past for the last 15 years, still doesn't explain why a section of footage was there one day and gone the next for ALL cameras.

Does the NVR have the ability to see the HDD SMART attributes, as Hikvision NVRs do?
If so - that will confirm the state of health, or lack of it, of the HDD.

here it is the log showing a disk error

no it doesnt.

Isn't that just swapping drives because one is full?

if it had more than 1 drive possibly but only 1 is in there.

This encouraged me to turn on email notifications for Disk Error under ALARM-> Exceptions. At 42601 and 42018 Power On Hours Count they’re probably living on borrowed time

not a bad idea.

With the caveat that I'm unfamiliar with the definition of those Dahua messages - that looks more informational than error.
The references are to HDD partitions.

I got on my computer this evening to pull a video clip, but Murphy screwed me again and it seems that the 10 seconds of video I wanted just so happened to be in the one block that my NVR didn't record today. So I went to the logs and saw that at the exact time the video cut out, there was an...

I'm on a NVR5216-16P-4KS2E with FW V4.002.0000000.3.R, Build Date: 2022-03-22

and I get these, do you not have any of them?

I assume you're talking to the OP but everything looks similar on my end 5232-16P-4KS2E V4.002.1CKA000.0.R, Build Date: 2023-12-05. Had never seen this screen, always finding new buttons to click

I know, we should use the firmware from Andy and not update just because, but I like seeing the Dahua logo and taking risks

am i on latest even though it says i am or is there newer??

 

[bigredfish]

Its not a FW thing I wouldnt go down that rabbit hole.
I was simply inquiring on the newer version. Im happy with the one I have no need to risk borking things up if no problem.

 

[97JeepXJ]

If you’re not absolutely positively prepared for the NVR to never work again, don’t even try it. I have a spare one and like I said I’m willing to take a risk with this stuff and possibly be frustrated for days until I figure it out

 

[bigredfish]

Yep same. I have a brand new duplicate sitting there for just that reason.
