@alastairstevenson - weird problem on a new 2347 I installed today. I updated firmware to Version 5.65, Build 200316. There is no "triggered by event" available anywhere that I can see. Any idea why that would be?
For the G1 IPC-T2347LU / DS-2CD2347G1-L(U) the last firmware version I checked for an event-triggered LED flash was 5.6.4 and it didn't have it either.
The only version I've seen that has provided this feature was the custom 5.6.2 version that was used by that Perth Oz CCTV company :

Color pic make people happy:D 8mp black and white also very sharp.

Thank you for the quick response - I just found that post and downloaded the file. I'll report back. So strange that Hik has not enabled this...
I've got the same problem as a guy earlier in this thread. When I load that firmware it shows event-based LED that allows me to set a time period. After logging out, the very next time I log in there is no "triggered by event" and the "LED on" radio button is greyed out and cannot be chosen. If I reload the firmware, it's the same thing. Options are there the first time, but upon reload the same thing happens. I even upgraded to the current firmware, downgraded to the Aussie version and the same - first login shows the options but upon reload it's the same problems. Weird. And by the way, even when I could access these options the "triggered by event" did not work. It just kept the LED lights on all the time.
did you do a 'factory reset' after the FW update? and/or possibly need to clear browser cache...
I did not do a factory reset - I assumed that would wipe the new firmware and revert back to what it was shipped with. I will try the browser cache - thanks.
a factory reset is often required when a firmware change adds/removes features in order to 'fix' the underlying config files...
Apologies for being a pain, but under Config, Upgrade/Maintenance there are options for Restore or Default. Or are you guys referring to a hard reset by powering off, pressing the button under the SD card cover and powering on?
'restore' from the GUI will usually do the trick. 'default' (same as holding reset button down on reboot) would require reconfiguring networking and admin password, more of pain and last resort...
although, I just re-loaded the 5.6.2 with 'triggered by event' option and am not seeing the same behavior. (ie, it seem to work fine w/o resetting anything) I only see 'triggered by event' option if 'LED On' is set to 'timing' (nopt 'auto'), and only see the threshold setting if 'triggered by event' is set to 'yes'. This is using IE browser. other browsers may behave differently?
I did the reset as suggested and the options are back. See below. Here's the behavior I am seeing from this option - if the room is lit up, the LED's stay out during the scheduled time frame. If the room is dark, the LED's stay on all the time. I'd hoped that triggering line crossing/intrusion would maybe light them up even more, but nope. So far I am not having success with getting event-triggered LED's to come on. Should "Led on" be set to auto for event-only LED's?
no, it must be set to timing (auto disables the 'triggered by event' option.
BUT, you must also 'link' the event to the 'Flashing Alarm' in the event/Linkage Method page(s)...
BUT, you must also 'link' the event to the 'Flashing Alarm' in the event/Linkage Method page(s)...
I did that and it is triggering on line/intrusion, but it's just a short series of flashes. Is there a way to have the lights turn on steady, for a user-defined period of time?
Thanks for sticking with me so far...

Interested in this, I have a majority of Dahua cams and plan on buying a Dahua NVR... but I have this camera too and I would like to know how to integrate it (and even better if it can do motion detection with the NVR).
Thank you Andy!
I'm having some issues configuring the exposure and so on. Mostly to get the right quality at night time. I wonder what others recommend for my case. It's a backyard with indirect light behind it. I also have domotics-controlled floor lights in it.
The auto/scheduled switch UI is very confusing and it does not seem to work for me.
FW is V5.6.2 build 200407
