dahua nvr, how to record movement etc..

[wozzzzza]

i have a dahua nvr with starlight cameras, i have it recording 24/7 but i want to make it show a mark on the time line when there is movement but cant work it out.
i managed to do it with one camera on play back but not the others and i have no idea what i have done wrong as i think i have copied all settings.

See the dahuawiki.

 

[wozzzzza]

cant find it the place i need

 

[wozzzzza]

just driving me insane, every setting for each camera and channel appear to be the same but only 1 is showing the yellow marker for movements

Just a casual observation, are the "starlight Cams" Hikvision or a Hikvision OEM? If so, there are some discussions about not all features working when you mix and match Dahua and Hik, components. They can work, but you may lose features.

If they are IP cameras, you have to go to each camera by browser and enable the movement, then configure the recording plan in the NVR.

i finally found it, one setting on the NVR side of things and everything worked, darn it.

I see you've found the answer, but I thought I would share my findings for clunky motion detection on the NVR.

Example in my system is motion from the front door camera and a drive camera with alarm input (switch) from the garage door.

---

First off, in schedule; I selected MD and alarm, thinking this is motion detection and alarm.

Turns out this doesn't work...

Uncheck "MD&Alarm" and then check the "Motion" and "Alarm".

Make sure to apply it to your schedule. I leave mine 24/7.



Now the schedule should look like this:

---

Now set motion detection for the camera(s).
Be sure to "Record channel" for that camera (or other cameras).

---

In the timeline, motion detection comes up with yellow segments.

For alarm it comes up with red.


You will notice that searching "General" recordings does show gaps when a motion/alarm event takes place.


But you still can export through multiple events.
