It was originally; it had no effect on the problem either way. BI just ignored both values and cut the files whenever it wanted. And if anyone is thinking about suggesting that I delete the DB folder and see if that fixes it- please also tell me how to do so while keeping all my saved motion...

This just started recently. I have already downgraded to a previous release to no avail. Whether I set a time limit or disable that and just set a file size limit it ignores it. The file sizes/lengths are totally random- but all my cameras will save the same amount of time to within a second or...

Right, but what voltage, impedance, etc., for the audio equipment? Im assuming mic level input, but what about the output? Would these work for the input audio? Thanks

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095XCJWRM As usual the chinese manual that comes with this thing lists nothing about the specs of the alarm or 2 way audio. Where can I find this information? Are the alarm wires just a low voltage relay? And what is the audio impendence/level? Do the mic and...

So I was able to replicate the malfunction. Seems all it takes is entering the following settings for time and waiting a couple days... And yes, the Reboot command does work! Good job Jack! The Amcrest support guy wasn't even aware of that.

Excellent find. Thank you. Now I just have to replicate the malfunction again so I can test whether the API is still accessible. It was the ntp server and settings that populate the field by default. (clock.isc.org) I have tried to replicate the malfunction on my own cameras with no success...

A remote reboot and a physical reset are not the same thing. Remote as in no physical access.

Unfortunately I cannot revert the setting because I cannot login. Does anyone know how to remotely reboot these cameras without using the web UI? I did not detect any open telnet port but perhaps there is a way using the RTSP/ONVIF/TCP port?

So now it has happened to all the cameras, at two completely different locations. The one thing I did at both locations was set all the cameras to use the default NTP time server and automatically adjust for DST. I did this two days ago.

All the other cameras are running the same firmware and are all set to NTP time server.

No; using an old v4 and no auto update.

They are on a separate subnet with a dedicated router, the only thing that gets through that is the BI webserver port which is forwarded from the main router.

Cameras in question are P5M-T1179EW-28MM. I have multiple BI systems setup using these same cameras and no problems until today. Around 16:00 three cameras go offline a few minutes apart. They give the "no signal" error in BI; won't respond to restart. Upon http access they present the...

Yes they were the same. I think I figured it out. Somehow the thing got switched to https for the WAN login. I don't remember doing that. Perhaps when the app updated?
