Thanks for confirming, I thought I was going blind. Guess I just dont understand, surely it can't be that expensive to add a power button. Anyway plugging the plug it is but fingers crossed it will be a while before I next need to power off the NVR!

Its taken a while but I think I may have accidentally come across the solution and hopefully this helps someone that has a similar issue. Anyway shortly after I resetted the NVR on 1 Feb, Cam 1 would continue to drop offline usually once or twice a day. I noticed when I reset the NVR the...

Quick update. Just resetted the NVR to factory default (through the web UI) and set up from scratch so lets see if this resolves the issue. However I noticed that after resetting to factory default the camera names were still the names I had given them (ie the camera names did not default back...

Hi Andy, I was wondering if there is a newer firmware for NVR4104HS-p-4KS2 as one of the four cameras drop offline about once every two days. Mine is currently on System Version: 4.001.0000001.0 Build Date: 2021-07-09 Thanks!

I Haven't but let me reach out. Is it this person? https://ipcamtalk.com/members/empiretecandy.26381/

Thanks for sharing. I also notice a couple of the camera names not sticking and default back to "camera 1” not sure if related. Anyway I should have time over the weekend to do a reset again. Thanks for ur help mate!

Camera 1 just went offline again. Its getting a bit more frequent. That was the 2nd time today. I am probably going to bite the bullet and reset the NVR again and see if that fixes the issue.

Wow thanks for super quick reply! Unfortunately no as it just disconnected shortly after noon today.

I must have jinxed myself. After the power outage a few days ago, one of the cameras is now getting disconnected about once every two days. Its always the same camera (its Channel 1 in my screenshot below) but happens at different times. The good news is that I get an email alert of the...

Ah i see. Not a big issue for me as I have setup tripwire so based on that i should be able to narrow down the time that I need to look at. Thanks again bigredfish! Can't thank you enough for helping me sort out these issues!

Its been over a week now and all is well. I did have one cam drop offline shortly after power was restored following a power outage but now at least i get a notification when the cam goes offline. A quick reboot of the NVR and all four cams were back online. So far I haven't experienced any drop...

Another good sign. I am finally getting proper cam offline emails! I used to get these false email alerts every few minutes (even though the cam was still connected) but I just tested it and I got a notification when I unplugged the network cable and also got another email saying the cam is back...

I am new to all these cams but agree for some of the dahua settings its not clear from the wording what it actually means. So far the reset seems to have solved some of my issues as I used to get quite a few cam disconnected emails overnight and when i woke up i was pleasantly surprised i didnt...

Thanks Thanks spaceman. But once the cam is disconnected doesn't that mean it can't record on the hdd in the nvr? I am currently recording 24/7 does that mean I don't need to enable this disconnection setting?

Forgot to ask but after I resetted the NVR and logged into the cams I noticed the motion detection and tripwire settings were still there. I didnt end up factory defaulting the cams as I wasn't sure that was required. Also I noticed this disconnection event type under Abnormality setting which...
