Started getting this last night.
At first, I was having issues saving configurations from the cameras.
I know the device has a"'connection limit" of 128, but I don't know what it considers a connection.
Clearly not a user session - as there are only two actual users, and we both use the admin account.
The other user only uses his iphone, and I know definitively how many sessions I have open at any given time.
In any event, I changed the max connections on the NVR to 0 - which is supposed to mean no limit.
It cannot mean a literal zero, as that would mean setting it to zero would require factory reset to recover, as even local login is a network connection via the loopback.
So, I then logged out and tried logging back in, and got the "it has reached the connection threshold" message.
I went into the firewall and set connections to be allowed only to my remote subnet, then killed all connection states.
I don't know what the timeouts are on the NVR, so it could be strangling itself by spinning off connection attempts faster than they time out, though it shouldn't be, as I am refusing packets rather than silently dropping them.
I had someone on site power cycle it - no change.
Have to schlep over there and try a local login.
With dahua cams and nvr, and gdmss, do I need to run the onvif service?
Or is it only required for third party camera compatibility?
It's still operational, as I am still getting Tripwire emails, so it's making outbound connections.
(I disabled the firewall restrictions after it was power cycled.)
