Brand new Hikvision HS-HD1
Latest Hikvision firmware
Configured using only batch config tool, never allowed to connect to internet or to an app.
Wifi 2.4 GHz Router about 12' away.
QNAP QVR Pro connecting to the camera via ONVIF at 3MP / 10 fps, recording all the time.
QVR has this camera and another camera connected (also via ONVIF and the same wifi SSID, different vendor)
EDIT: Replaced transformer today w/ 30VA model, no change in behavior.
So about every 3 mins, the camera stops streaming for about 15 seconds. It doesn't appear that the connection is lost, it just stops sending.
The other camera records constantly, also over the same wifi SSID/band, and there do not appear any drops in the wifi net overall.
So ran continuous pings to the device to see if the connection itself dropped, and lo and behold, not only did the connection not drop, but also the video never stopped recording.
It appears that some sort of "keep alive" might be needed to keep an ONVIF stream going?
Has anyone else run into this behavior and is there any simpler workaround?
Again, note that the camera has not been allowed to phone home or connect to any app but the BCT and an ONVIF connection, so that might be a bit different then most (and BTW, it's hammering my firewall trying to connect to litedev.ezvizlife.com:8666 ... denied...)
