Hi all
I have a new Hikvision 2DC2378G2H-LISU/SL, mainly for the audio and alarm I wanted this for
I am having some trouble with the alarm working but I think it may be due to the camera not generating alert so therefore no alarm siren sound

I have 2 schedules set up for this camera
First schedule is day time recording where it records during day light hours untill about 8pm and I see alot of alerts when we walk past the camera in the app and UI
the 2nd schedule (profile 4) is so it just records when motion is triggered and I have set up an alert so it make the alarm sound go off for 10 seconds only do it when it detects a person

I keep walking past the camera at night and I have to walk around the camera for about 10 seconds for an alert to happen ( therefore siren to )
If I just walk past it quickly like a real burgular would no alert generates. The only thing that happens is the camera's colour night vision activates the 2 bright LED lights and one flashes for about 5-10 seconds

Can anyone help with this? I have been trying to tweak the settings for a few days :confused:

These are my settings for the camera

Trigger tab: ( no immediate ( pre-alert) actions are set

Hi Afranze,

Did you ever manage to resolve this? My mum’s new cameras seem to be doing this too.

Any clues to resolve it would be appreciated!

Many thanks.
