    Sansco NVR - Stop message for no storage media

    With the caveat that I have no specific knowledge of that (unspecified) NVR, but I've tinkered with a few different models - Check if under the Events configuration there is a list of exceptions (other than things such as motion events etc) for which alarms such as the beep can be enabled or...

    DS-2CD1047G2H-LIUF - Trigger white light on motion regardless of day/night mode?

    I'm guessing this model may be a 'Value Series' one, without smart features. I think you are correct. That's a pity. And the camera appears to be using the latest firmware, E10 series. Just a thought - do you have this menu? If VCA resource is set to Monitoring, there are no Smart Events.

    It's a normal part of the camera settings, but availability may depend on the firmware version. What firmware version does your camera have? Example on a similar, though not identical, camera model :

    Hikvision g6 V5.8.30 firmware for DS-2CD1067G2-L IP camera

    Worth trying, in my view, would be the format of cfg_pri and cfg_sec This is what the error is suggesting is needed when the mount of the configuration partition fails.

    Hikvision g6 V5.8.30 firmware for DS-2CD1067G2-L IP camera

    That's a bootloader environment variable, that's saved in a different part of the flash memory than where the camera configuration values are held. There are no logfiles attached to your post. What does the serial console show when you attempt to change and save the camera configuration via...

    Hikvision g6 V5.8.30 firmware for DS-2CD1067G2-L IP camera

    It sounds like the configuration is not able to be written to the flash memory when changes are saved. A suggestion to try : As you have access to the serial console via the UART connection, make a change to the configuration settings or network settings and observe what the serial console...

    Quick review: Hikvision DS-7108N-SN

    That's a China region model (The N after the model number, as opposed to NI) - possibly sold with hacked-to-english firmware. All the standard firmware will result in a Chinese interface.

    Would appreciate some help with a Hikvision camera if possible please.

    Not when they are plugged in to the PoE ports of the NVR - that's a separate LAN. As you can see, they don't show in SADP despite them being active. The new camera isn't found by SADP. How is it being powered / what is it connected to? Suggestion : Plug the new camera into one of the NVR PoE...

    Would appreciate some help with a Hikvision camera if possible please.

    If the camera is on the same LAN as the PC that SADP is running on, it will find all Hikvision devices automatically and provide a variety of information about them. Of interest will be the version of firmware shown in the 'Software Version' column against your camera.

    What's the current firmware version of the camera? SADP will show that.

    Reolink Poe doorbell vlan firewall setup

    I'm guessing that for the video stream, port 554 would be needed. What guided the choice for port 8000 - is this the ONVIF command and control port as used by the doorbell? Have you custom-defined this in the NVR? It's what a Hikvision camera would use for Hikvision's command and control...

    HikVision IP Camera PDS-2CD1023G0E-I c assword Reset Using UART

    It sounds like you erased the camera configuration, which would set it back to 'inactive' which then allows the NVR to 'activate' the camera using either it's own admin password, or the password defined in the NVR configuration to be used for activating cameras.

    Help With reboot the Cam

    Are the PoE switches managed versions? If so - the switch command line access should allow disable / enable of a specified port, which will power-cycle the connected camera.

    Dahua NVR5216P-EI2 / EmpireTech #NVR16CH-16P-2AI-S2

    I just realised - I'd made the assumption that the reformat suggestion was about dealing with the SMART data showing reallocated sectors, as opposed to some logical inconsistency in the file structures on the HDD causing the playback issues. Dohh!

    Dahua NVR5216P-EI2 / EmpireTech #NVR16CH-16P-2AI-S2

    That's not a valid suggestion as a response to seeing the SMART data that indicates that a small part of the HDD surface has an imperfection. All it does is to clear the tables that point to where data is stored on the disc, it will do nothing to change the fact that a few sectors have been...

    Dahua NVR5216P-EI2 / EmpireTech #NVR16CH-16P-2AI-S2

    sdb has a non-zero reallocated sector count (52). Not that high - but worth a periodic check to see if it grows over time.
