Missing recording gaps
- Thread starter ANTH040
- Start date
Is it possible that your recorder is rebooting? I was just looking for some information on it... My NVR used to reboot itself randomly a few times a day, but now that I've updated it's firmware it's rebooting around about every hour.
Not that I know as my recorder is a computer i5 quad core which is permanently on unless I reboot.

I've noticed that with the Hiks I have connected to a dahua NVR using SmartPss for playback. Funny thing is when I went to play back the same footage on an older version of PSS there were no gaps. There were also no gaps when using playback via browser interface.
No nvr its recording on my computer win 10 i5 smb/cifs

I have noticed if I try to play one of those gaps a blue square appears after it skips the gap like in this image.
I am going to try and diagnose this problem today if anyone has any ideas please help its driving me nuts.
That blue box will be the intrusion detection cant see how that would be a problem..

What type of hard drive are you using, this happens a lot with normal PC hard drives. I would personally recommend western digital purple drive.
One recording to http://www.amazon.co.uk/ST3500312CS-Seagate-Pipeline-500GB-Drive/dp/B002GTXVUE
and another camera recording to http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_barracuda_7200_10.pdf
My main os is also on a seperate http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_barracuda_7200_10.pdf

This is your issue you're using a PC hard drive to do the the work of a server.
Data is lost during high usage, depending on how many camera's you have as the PC hard drives can't keep up. Even good drives suffer you will notice pixelation on play back due to lost data and what your experiencing gaps.
Seagate drives seem to be the worst for this.

I did manage to sort this out by installing freenas on on my media server and use it for my cameras and storage only I think the problem might of actually been network activity or what whoslooking mentioned I will be able to diagnoses it better with freenas but so far its playing pretty good not one gap and only around 30 watts load I am pretty happy with it.
