Dahua NVR Reboots during the day

[cryptelli]

I have been communicating with Ken to see if he can make IVS work with BI.

Obvious question incoming... what's the news?

he actually emailed me back today to see if I could see anything in the event section of onvif device manager, which I set up an intrusion zone and triggered it and I sent him back this and told him to let me know if he needs anything else.

are you sure you dont have standard motion detection enabled again?

I tried the same thing only using a tripwire but couldn't see anything coming through like you have on the events section of the onvif device manager.

I fucking hate this firmware lol yep, when you enable IVS it for some stupid reason automatically checks off motion detection, whyyyyyyyyyyyyy. So yeah, I see nothing in ODM now, fuckers.

Same. The dropped frames happens pretty much on every event but took nayr's advice an matched the i-frame to the frame rate and that only results in 1 second being lost, better than nothing.

So Ryan's advice is to set the iframe to match the fps? Not double the FPS. Is that how I understand this? I lose less than a second, but my iframe is double the frame rate.

I just played with it and it doesn't even enable MD every time you create a rule so it's like it just randomly gets enabled lol wtf.

The rule of thumb is to match iframe to fps, I dunno why the PAL firmware on the starlights auto doubled it, the NTSC firmware does not.

Yep. With the i-frame double the fps I used to get a large gap, now being matched to the fps it's only a small jump.

Thank you gentlemen. I will adjust as soon as practical.

The small jump still sucks, IMO.

To the left of my house is community space where folks can walk across to get in/out of our neighborhood.

If I zoom my camera in enough to ID, folks are only in frame for 2-3 seconds. So even with a small jump, I can miss them entirely.

So now I have the shot zoomed out more than I need to (can't make a clear ID), but it captures them longer, so when the small jump happens, I'm likely to catch them for a second or so on the far side. :/

100% @aristobrat. It's a compromise and an average one at best.

New problem and I don't know yet what to do. Not only does the NVR reboot on an event, but when it does, it does not always re-establish network connectivity. Sometimes just pulling the Ethernet cable off, waiting, and plugging it back in resolves the problem. The rest of the time, I have to Restart the NVR. Message I get is the network login timed out. Anyone else ever see this?

I guess I have to install SD cards in all the cams, as yesterday I lost about 20 hours of recordings. I really hope Dahua comes out with new firmware soon.

I've had this happen once. Thought it was something local to my setup.

 

[Dr.H]

I also have the same issue.

 

[Tygunn]

I've got 16 reboots today. It seemed stable for a while, but today has been terrible. Has ANYONE heard anything from Andy about this? I think I might email him and see. This is getting ridiculous. Had I known I would not have bought this NVR at all.

 

[aristobrat]

Just heard back from Andy. The problem has been reported to Dahua and will be addressed in an upcoming firmware version, which he reckons should be out soon.

@Tygunn -- that's the last update I heard (from 4/5).

I pinged him again on it. I'd at least like to know if this is a hardware or software issue.

I'll have to look at building up a Blue Iris system and just kick the NVR to the side as a backup device that records 24/7 and that's it.... The cameras themselves are rock solid, however, and I have nothing but good to say about them.

You ruled the HD(s) out? That usually spells a hard drive biting the dust when it goes insane like that.
