dahua ptz record over lan to nvr

[Rory040]

here is my setup
dahua ptz camera with ip 192.168.1.191
dahua 16 port nvr with ip 192.168.1.190

now i setup my ptz detection face id all kind of things but how i let it record to my nvr

to be clear i set all up on the camera only record path i can set local or NAS but when i fill in the ip adres of the nvr i still need to fill in a path or am i doing something wrong

i post first screen of my nvr then of my ptz

how is the camera connected to your NVR ? is it directly via ethernet cable or is it connected to a PoE switch ?

I would try to connect it directly to the back of the NVR first and re-test.

 

[Rory040]

my nvr has 2 ports which are in load balance

it can handle 16 cameras thats why i ask how to do that the nvr is connected to a poe switch

The ptz won’t likely work connected to the NVR PoE ports, not enough power. . It’s fine as-is.

Your NVR us already seeing the ptz ok. You need to setup recording on the NVR not the ptz.

***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

IF you have a Dahua NVR with built-in PoE switch... DO NOT follow instructions telling you to use the config tool or switch the IP of your cameras or initialize anything..! With NVR's typically with a -P designation (Built-n PoE switch - example: 4208-8P-4KS2) none of that is required and it...

its not connected to one of the 2 nvr ports

setup is camera to poe 24 ports switch

nvr connected with 2 ports in load balance connected to same 24 port switch

That’s fine.

Your picture shows the ptz at 192.168.1.191 is already recognized by the NVR.

You simply need to go to the record tab of the NVR and set it up to record that channel.

 

[Rory040]

yes i did that but i want the camera to face recognition and auto follow

 

[bigredfish]

That’s a separate question. I answered the first one.

 

[bigredfish]

Auto track and face recognition are setup on the ptz camera.they have nothing to do with recording.

 

[Rory040]

can you mayb help me on remote i put on detection but now it wont record anymore

 

[bigredfish]

You need to tell the NVR to record IVS events. It may be labeled IVS or Intelligent.

 

[Rory040]

Yes j did that but somehow it doesnt record

 

[bigredfish]

Reboot both NVR and ptz

Then see if it is triggering IVS rules. Does line flash red when something crosses?
