Thanks, I seemed to have figured it out at the same time as making this post. I do have some other problems to solve now, I have set an intrusion zone, but the warning lights stop after 5 seconds or so. Which settings controls the IVS light trigger? The motion detection warning light is set to...

Could someone care to explain how the disarm period works on the NVR with SMD4 and TIOC2 cams? 1. Does disarm periods turn off logs/recording of these IVS/SMD events? 2. Does disarm turn off IVS ability to turn on the warning lights on TIOC 2 cams? My experience is that I haven't been able to...

Thanks for your input, we have a large generator, we're probably not going to use it unless we knew we had power loss for a week. This is just to provide redundancy, say overnight when the business isn't operating. So like 8-10 hours. The key times of the year are during winter because of trees...

Thanks for your response and insight. At our business we have a large generator, we're a printing company so this is expected and although we don't use it regularly it is probably 5-10 times each year. That being said this is only during work hours, so the security camera situation is covered...

Looking into providing backup power for 25ish security cameras over a few switches... what is a cost effective way of doing this? I've just looked at a 2000w battery from CyberPower (PR2000ERTXL2U) that is around $1100AUD but that can only get me 215 minutes of backup @ 50w of draw. I've...

I believe I have resolved it. Now I will preface this by saying I never installed the hardware so the exact specification's are only being revealed now. TL;DR: I moved the network cable of the NVR from a 10/100mbps Edimax POE switch to the main rack switch. We have an Edimax 8port 4POE...

The problem is with the NVR, not the new camera (I assume). Most cameras that we have connected are going to POE switches which are then added into the NVR manually/auto search. 10 of which ARE going into the NVR's POE switch but that's semi-unrelated to the device timing out on a ping test I...

I have one Linux device available.... but not two. :(

Hi there, Following on from exisiting "problems" with a new Dahua network camera... it's worth posing this question in another forum. I have a Dahua DHI-NVR5464-16P-4KS2. I believe it's on the latest firmware as I updated it the other week. Is it normal for these NVR's to timeout when I...

I didn't setup the other cameras, though indeed I am 'maintaining' them now. The two cameras have been tested on 2 other POE switches, the NVR POE switch itself, and a 12V cable + plugged into non POE switch. I have used varying data cables, even this afternoon I'm using the cable from my Mac...

I recently purchased a HDW2431T-ZS-S2 to be added into a collection of 40+ network cameras. All cameras appear on our DHI-NVR5464-16P-4KS2 and work as intended. The maximum incoming bandwidth is 320mbps and the NVR itself says that there is around 240-260mbps remaining. This new camera however...

Hi, I've been reviewing my security footage quite frequently as of late. I have noticed that on the timeline huge chunks of detected motion also show nil recording at the same time. It's not a direct 1:1 motion=no record but it's more than likely to cut out before and or after it's listed on...

Hi all, What would cause an IP camera on a Dahua NVR (DHI-NVR5464-16P-4KS2) to frequently network disconnect, logout and back in? I get a feed so I can rule out: – Bad credentials – Incorrect image config? Could it be down to the switch? I have indeed pulled it off the mount and plugged it...

Hi there, I'm having issues connecting a Hikvision DS-2CD2365G1-I to my DHI-NVR5464-16P-4KS2. The unit (Hikvision IPC) was recently bought, to accompany 43 Dahua IPC's. Because this certain camera wasn't meant to be on the NVR I didn't choose a Dahua... knowing the problems I've had with this...
