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?

Using the android app I can no longer log in over WAN. I changed nothing other than possibly windows updates. I can login with the app over LAN, as well as log in to the server via WAN or LAN from a browser with the same credentials, and on the same device the app is installed on! Furthermore...

Ever figure this out?

Peerblock was running on the server. For some reason the ip range of the 4G network was on a blocklist.

Connecting from a wifi connection anywhere in the world seems to work fine (either from wan or lan), but as soon as I switch it over to 4G it fails to connect. The same issue occurs whether connecting via a mobile browser or the official app. This same phone has no problem connecting over 4G to...

In that case what is the best way to clone a camera? Does it actually take the feed from the camera twice, as if there were two separate clients connected to the camera, or is BI smart enough to realize what you're doing and use the same feed? Also is there any recommended settings to use on...

Might want to turn up the hardness on your brush there buddy :)

I was hoping you would not say that lol. I will have to sit down one day and try every possible combination of resolution, quality, etc and record the incoming bitrates in BI, I suppose

For example I have one camera that covers both the street and the driveway/yard. The street is zone A and the rest is zone B. I want the alert clips to be stored separately so I can ascertain whether the alert from this camera is a visitor in the driveway or just a car passing by on the street...

It seems that whatever I set the "max bitrate" to, the camera will use every bit of that whether I have the framerate set to 1fps or 20fps. Logic would dictate that 1/20th the framerate would use 1/20th the bitrate, but that is not the case. I realize why but the fact that they do not tell you...

Can someone explain how to free up the 7 gigs of space that is for some reason being reserved for pictures after I have told it that there will be no pictures? Surely they wouldn't add two completely pointless user fields, would they?

Whenever I manually change profiles it automatically switches back to default after a number of hours (8 hours maybe?). Where is this setting located? can it be set to something else? Thanks!

While were on the subject does anyone know what these other lines are? There is no setting in the cam config page for them... App Description......Ext Port........Int Port....IP Address........Status IPC_CIVIL_CMD........9010....TCP....9010....192.168.2.64....Enabled...

Lol. Correct! I thought I had checked that but apparently TPLink still only puts ~10 things per page, circa 1990. To view more you have to hit "next". There it was on the second page under "IPC_Control" Thank you very much gentlemen!

I realize this is more of a networking question probably applicable to all cameras but how is it that Hikvision cameras can be accessed via the ivms4500 app without any port forwarding rules set up? The only setting that applies in the app is the "port" line which is the server port, 8000. It...

Ahh thanks for shedding some light on that. The seller was using the standard 2135 stock image so naturally I sent it back immediately. Don't know what else they expected to happen if they can't even be bothered to update their photo lol. After some extreme hassle I was able to translate enough...
