Hello. I have a hikvision ds 7600 series nvr. I have connected my reolink ip camera by onvif. I can view the live feed but cant get motion to work. I have checked with the onvif device manager and there is events when motion is detected. Does anyone have any help for me?
It would really help anyone to provide suggestions if you gave some indication of what you have actually configured in the NVR for motion recording.
Sorry to be blunt, but without that - it's just guesswork.
Put yourself in the place of the reader.
OK, that's clear.
Check the 'Linkage method' under Event has the correct trigger channel ticked.
In Storage | Schedule Settings, Try Motion | Alarm for the recording type (That's Motion OR Alarm).
That's not so - if the 3rd party camera supports ONVIF event notoification, motion detection recording should work OK with an NVR.
Right now I have a couple of Longse cameras connected as ONVIF and on one NVR it's motion detection only that's being used, it works OK.
And I've done this also with other brand 3rd party cameras since removed.
Update. I restored box to factory settings and set it up and it works. Also I had confirmation that the reolink camera will work with motion too, I will test it later. Many thanks for your help.
That simply means that the NVR cannot command the camera to configure that function, due to lack of a common 'command and control' protocol.
The solution is to configure the camera directly, via its web GUI.
I also have a Dahua and it's able to detect motion and record the same Reolink camera but not the Hikvision. It's using ONVIF port 8000 but I see it has RTSP 554.
