Not that I installed (on the NVR). I'll have to physically check if someone plugged one in while I was gone.

I only have 1 HD. (I checked if someone installed another drive while I was gone. SmartPSS > Storage > Disk Manager > only 1 disk is listed (and it has the old recordings).) So any other ideas what this means?

Clarification. I used SmartPSS > logs; I didnt check logs on the actual NVR interface. Is that what you mean (that the NVR version isnt helpful)? Ty.

I checked my NVR logs for suspicious activity. Someone is tampering while I left the house. What does this mean? And how/where do I go to undo it. Ty. "Disk" category Switch Operating Disk: /dev/sda(0)-->/dev/sda(1) reason(0)

So any suggestions on which Category to re-check in the logs? I want to rule out bug, user error, or hacking. Ty.

Thanks for your post. So you did update the NVR, and then non-Dahua IP cams would not work (with motion detection)? Or did the non-Dahua IP cams ever work (with motion detection)? If you want, post your Manufacture list (Cam > Channel list for IP cams). But blur out the exact ports and serials...

Thanks for telling us this. And to clarify, I dont think I or anyone made changes to the IP cameras using any NVR interface. (I checked the logs and didn't find anything except the S.M.A.R.T. entry, whatever that means?) But if someone can tell me anything else to check for in the logs (which...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies and checking on me. UPDATE 1 - fixed Summary UPDATE 1: Restarting the NVR FIXED it - now the IP cams show yellow Motion bars using SmartPSS. Thank you, (But below, i'll explain the notes/bugs/suspicions.) Please correct me, what does Dahua call the yellow Motion...

1. Did Dahua push a stealth "crippleware" update? 2. How can I re-enable Motion Recording (yellow bar playback) on my IP cameras? 3. After #2, please explain how to setup IVS on my IP cameras? Thank you. On Feb 27, 2024, after 7:30AM – the Motion Recording (the yellow bar) was disabled on all...

Thanks for the summary. Can you remind me where to go to enable AI Human detection per camera? SmartPSS or Web interface and which Topic/tab? (I forgot where, but I want to show you a pic - that it wont let me select the IP channels to set.) Yes. I manage view 2 devices and get my recordings...

The pic didnt post. Can you fix it? (Im not exactly sure where to click on SMartPSS to get to the AI settings. Do you have a vid that shows how to set this up from within SmartPSS? Years ago I searched, but what their video showed, wasnt displayed as a setting for me.) 1-8 are Analog channels...

Thanks for the link, and it's on Amazon (easier to shop/ship). So do his own brands work for the AI on the Dahua XVRs? Or only the specific Dahua cameras that he sells? (but they have to say Dahua?) I see "EmpireTech 4MP Smart IR Fixed-Focal Lens Mini Bullet IP Camera,Support SMD 3.0 and IVS...

Yes, Im seeing that now. But the seller/listing did not tell me that (years ago when I was shopping for XVRs). And I talked to Dahua support recently. They said that I have to use Dahua cameras to use AI detection for IP cams. But again, they didnt disclose that. (It sounds like theyre using...

Thanks for that extra info. The Analog brand is unknown or "Quadbrid." (I ordered a Varifocal Dome, and they sent me this Turret camera - listing now updated. So Im testing it, learning what it actually is.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNM4W717 And my IP cameras are a mix, but not Dahua or...

Wow, thanks for that link. (It has been difficult to find comparison information.) I have the Penta-Brid XVR5116H-X: "16+8 Channel 5MP Mini 1U Digital Video Recorder Support 16CH HD-CVI/HD-TVI/AHD/Analog up to 5MP, 8CH Additional IP up 6MP" So does this model support full 5MP for analog? (I...
