Ghost recording

[tmarsh94]

First post.

I have a Hikvision NVR with all Hikvision IP cameras. Recently I upgraded my 8 channel (DS-7608NI-Q2/8P V3.xx) to a 16 Channel (DS-7616NI-Q2/16P V4.72).

All cameras are set for motion recording, and all have been pretty good about false recording until the new NVR.

The biggest offenders, I have two cameras (PCI-T15F2S V5.5.150) that will record solid for anywhere from 2-7 hours straight. Nothing is there. Sensitivity is at 20%. These cameras have the blue line for recording field rather than the red squares, so I can’t see what is tripping it. However, Ince these have been up for a year and had no problems till the NVR switch, I think it has nothing to do with the camera seeing motion.

Recording schedule is 24/7 event. If I disable motion detection, obviously it stops, but re enabling it it goes immediately back to recording. There is NOTHING that would trip it to record.

Any Ideas?

I will add, these cameras have human and vehicle detection enabled with motion detection. One overlooks my driveway, the other can see my neighbors driveway. Both driveways have cars parked in them most of the time. I haven’t confirmed this, but could it be seeing my truck pull in the driveway then just continue to record as long as it is parked there? In playback, if I check the vehicle box, it displays the timeline as orange if there is a vehicle involved, and blue if no vehicle. Most of these hour long recording blocks are orange.

That sounds like a bug in the NVR firmware.
Maybe try a small downgrade to the 4.71 version. They made a few changes in 4.72
