I'm posting this to follow up on a problem I experienced after a power outage last night. My cameras have all behaved well during and after many power outages over the past year, until last night. Apparently as a result of the outage, one of the cameras ended up with a corrupted SD card. This resulted in the camera essentially going offline; it's web page wasn't accessible and Blue Iris wasn't getting a stream. The camera started working fine after reformatting the SD (required removing it from the camera and using a PC). Since this doesn't happen often I'm not that adverse to having to remove and reformat the SD card, but I am very concerned that it may happen while someone is robbing my home. I doubt anything can be done to prevent the SD card from being corrupted when the power goes out (usually the SD survives fine, but there is always that chance the SD doesn't get closed properly). So it seems like a more robust way of handling corrupt SD cards may be needed.
The camera in question:
ipc-hdbw4231fp-as (aka "starlight mini ir wedge)
running firmware:
2.460.0000.14.R, Build Date: 2017-07-20
Has anyone else experienced this problem on their Dahau cameras? If so, was there some fix for it?
I'm wondering if the latest firmware (DH_IPC-HX5X3X-Rhea_EngSpnFrn_N_Stream3_V2.622.0000000.23.R.180330 I believe) might help prevent this from happening again.
Thanks,
Kevin
[edit: Not sure it matters, but my blue iris pc, router, and poe switch are all powered through a decent UPS (cyberpower w/ true sine/active pfc). The blue iris pc is set to shut down after 5min of no power, which leaves more battery to keep the router and switch (and therefore also the cameras) running for an additional ~1hr. Last night's outage went long enough where the switch and router also powered down. So Blue iris was already disconnected before the card was likely corrupted (I believe the SD was corrupted by being powered down while mounted).]
