Smart move. Seriously thinking of sending mine back to Andy for a refund. If a new firmware update shows soon that resolves this for the rest of you, great. Otherwise, back to China this goes.
To be honest, the NVR just doesn't feel like a polished or reliable platform at all. I'm tempted to just send mine back if I can as well. I thought to use it as a backup recorder, but I can just buy SD cards for all the cameras and get the same capability that way.
Prime example; I did have motion detect setup to record events from the Hikvision camera; it turned off at some point. I had a HARD time getting it to turn back on. Now it seems to be on.
Another time I had ZERO event recordings on a friday; turns out my record schedule changed to NOT record events on fridays.
While setting it up, I had a LOAD of instances where I thought I did something, but went back to the settings screen it turned out my setting didn't take.
The IVS is pretty neat but it took a lot of twiddling to get the NVR to record the events properly.
The continual reboots are the nail in its coffin. Not only is losing video annoying, but the device makes LOUD beeps when it reboots. Although the NVR is hidden away in a closet, the loud beeps are audible anywhere in the house, especially in the middle of the night.
