No Motion Recording on Dahua Camera Connected to Hikvision NVR
- Thread starter wapaper59
- Start date
I just tried your procedure and while it did seem to save settings for Motion Recording, the cameras STILL record continuously. In fact, I now see that although even the Hikvision cameras are all set to MOTION, they are also still recording continuously! So, I just don't get it.
I went through the web UI and although it did seem to change the settings to MOTION, the cameras are still recording continuously. In fact, ALL of the cameras (even the Hikvision ones) are all recording continuously even though MOTION is set up on all of them. At least that's what the NVR says.

Is that when you look at the playback screen? Have you got the solid blue bar on the time line at the bottom indicating "Continuous" is happening? Do you also have intermittent red sections which should be the Motion Events?
Mine seems to only be recording "Events" (ie. Motion.) Check under the "Recording" schedule that the days/ times for all the cameras are all green indicating "Event" instead of all blue which is "Continuous"- if that's how you want it to operate. Having both working (as Nayr said above) is probably the better way in case the Motion Event doesn't trigger the camera at all or for the required time. I've adjusted the "before" and "after" recording times to catch more footage around the Motion Event.
Right. On playback, there is a solid, continuous blue line at the bottom. No blanks or missing video segments like there should be.
From memory on the playback blue= continuous, red= motion and green= smart event (cuts off extra footage around the motion detection.)
You change what you're recording in the "Recording" menu that I mentioned previously. You should currently have "Continuous" (blue) for all days/ times. You need to select the Dahua camera, then click on "Edit", then "Motion" option (green) and then highlight all the days/ times (they should change to green) and then click "Apply". That should give you only recording with motion detected.
I changed one of Hikvisions to "Continuous" (leaving motion also selected) and in playback it had the "Continuous" (blue) solid bar with smaller green "Smart" markers below it where there was motion detected. It would be nice if there was also the red bar displayed with "Motion" scheduled (which is the detections + your pre/ post record time.) I'm not sure if it's possible to configure all three?
I don't think the Dahua will give any green "Motion" "Smart" flags below the "Continuous" blue recording in playback if it's left in Continuous in the recording schedule? I'll have to try that again.
I also edited an above post with the audio types the NVR is supposed to work with - they're G722.1 and G711 . (I've had problems when using them
, from what I've found the NVR seems happier with lower sampling rates like 16kHz.)
I'm also wondering what device over rules if you change a common setting in the NVR and Dahua camera?

More info- the bad audio seems to be a mixture of problems. Turning the noise filter off seems to be best to stop the pitch changing on voices all the time.
@wapaper59 have you managed to get the green "Smart" motion alerts below the blue continuous recording line with the Dahua? It puts them on for the Hikvision cameras with motion detection enabled, but nothing for the Dahua.

It's a small feature, but one I'd really like to have. I guess I'll put that camera in a position where an intruder will have to pass my Hikvisions first. (I've got three Hik's covering the driveway/ front of the house, but they don't cover the recessed verandah/front door. The audio of the Dahua will also be best utilised in that position.)
Another setting to check - the HTTP Port matches on the Dahua to the Hikvision NVR. I reset my Dahua camera and it defaulted to a different port....

Hi all,
Wondered if anyone has managed to get Hikvision NVR to recognise Dahua camera motion sensor? If so how?

Yes, when connected as ONVIF and when/if the camera generates ONVIF event notifications.
Check if it does by using ONVIF Device Manager (sourceforge.net) and checking the Events page for any instances.
You also need to set-up the Dahua via its Web based interface.
You won't get any motion events shown on the NVR during playback (on the time line) from what I've found. You'll need to do a manual search and then playback each event manually, a PITA.

Hi, I downloaded and ran Onvif Device Manager - its shows no events listed.
Just notice at the top of events it says: Error During Events Subscription
Resource Unknown
I then went into Dauha settings (web interface) - Event - Video Detection - Motion Detection (which is enabled) and checked Area (this shows motion being detected as little red squares).
Is there a setting I need to select.

You provided valid logon details - top left of the window?
Does it show Live Video, profiles, Analytics etc OK?
Not all ONVIF implementations support event notifications - and I'm not sure if this varies across specific Dahua models and firmware versions.
