[FIXED]Help Needed: Cameras keep disconnecting and reconnecting after Dahua NVR firmware update to V4 from V3.

Good catch. ^^^^^

What's the significance? I'm asking out of pure ignorance and a desire to know. I made sure to include since bandwidth had been queried a few times.

Well according to that you have not exceeded incoming bandwidth....

OK.

Any luck with the Default? I had two bourbons for you since we last chatted

Yeah it really seems to be leaning towards something went wonky with the firmware update and hopefully the factory resets and reflashing will get you going again.

Factory Reset?

From my standpoint only that you are close to being maxed out on the incoming bandwidth. Earlier, I added up your KBPS from each camera as advertised and they did not come close to the 320 MBPS maximum. I was just wondering what was up with that.

I'm going to do that in the morning when I'm more sober and less frustrated.

I have an IVS on each of the cameras, a few have more than one. Does that effect increased bandwidth?

From what I read, yes it will.

Looks like I need a new NVR that has the capabilities to run 4 4K cameras and 2 12MP fisheye at max FPS and resolution.

Just out of curiosity, is this something a BI system can do?

Yes - obviously with the proper specs and taking into account running AI. The primary obstacle would be the fisheye. Blue iris is very limited in how it handles fisheye cameras. If these are central to the system I would look at an alternative.

FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The two bourbons put it over the top.

Seriously, I did the factory reset according to your instructional -very good by the way. Used -and will continue to only use- the Web GUI to do the reset and set up. Cameras have not disconnected since I plugged them in around 7:40am, this morning. Thanks a lot for you help.

Question: In the picture affixed, the IP address pointed to belongs to which device/client?

Thank you to all that spent time to puzzle out this problem over part of your weekend. I will respond to those individually so that they get a push notification saying same.

Did I miss it:
Was a factory reset made on the NVR after the upgrade?

Bourbon helps everything

Hard to say what that IP is. I have seen my printer, a streaming box, another NVR, stand alone wifi camera?

I have 3 Nest cameras. I'm baffled the NVR would pick those/one up. I'll do a IP address search on my router. Thanks again.

Yes

Turn off H.265 use H.264H

Get to the web UI I referred to, under "Maintain"

I would unplug the cameras first, assuming you havent changed passwords from initial setup, when the NVR reboots , and you intiate it by saying no to the nag screen for P2P, plug cameras back in one at a time. Cameras currently have the same master password you origianly set on the NVR. Recommend you use that same password again

Refer to this post
***PSA for those with a New DAHUA NVR with Built-in PoE switch

When you connect each camera back to the NVR, the first thing to do after they appear in the bottom pane, is to log into them and change from H.265 to H.264.H
Unfortunately the newer NVRs default to H.265 which sucks for various reasons. We can revisit later.

Why is H.265 bad compared to H.264.H?
