motion detect Dahua NVR4216 looses settings

Recommended Posts

Trying to set motion detect on Dahua cams connected to Dahua NVR4216

Both settings of the area as well as the period are lost after saving them.

Is this a firmware issue? Anybody experience setting up motion detect zones succesfully generating buzzing,alarm etc.....?

Trailerlier,

I have the same NVR, and am using Dahua cams. I was also losing configuration settings, for motion detect and more.

There are several ways to change settings.

- The native UI in the NVR.

- SmartPSS app

- with a browser, surf into the NVR

- w/ browser, surf into camera.

It's easy to have more than 1 active at the same time. Here's the problem: The last UI you exit from overwrites the changes made with the other UI.

I now only use one UI at a time.

Also, I go overboard with "Save". It's easy to make changes, then leave the tab. There's no warning that "unsaved changes will be lost"

Got it resolved now.

THe problem was that the varifocal cams first had to be upgraded to the latest firmware. I did this through the NVR. Before doing it, you must set the cams recordings off

 

Now MD settings are kept and it works.

 

Only thing I still have to try out is if the PTZ can be set in MD as well. AS the ptz has got no fixed view Im wondering if MD could be set for a certain pattern individually. I think this is not in the userinterface software although this should be a nice future option....
