Except I updated to the latest firmware, remember? Then we tried rolling it back.

I guess. I just think a year later we’d have seen it before.
I suppose you could default the NVR using the button in the GUI. Really all you lose is the time setup, networking if diff from default, and the record schedule.
Just don’t tell it to default the cameras
+1 above.
Best practice is to factory reset a device before a firmware update and factory reset after the update.
And folks that get under the hood have seen a firmware update not completely take until a couple of factory resets.
So many of us adopted 3 factory resets before and after the firmware update.
So perhaps your bouncing back and forth firmware has something corrupt behind the scenes.

So that looks like it totally wipes it out, Network and all, correct?
Yeah it wipes it out - one of the many other reasons why many prescribe here to the "if it an't broke, don't fix it" mentality and do not update a system that is working for us and only update IF the release notes confirm it fixes a problem we have AND doesn't break or remove something that we use.

But on the NVR its just really the 3 things I mentioned which should take 15 min to reset? What am I missing?
...all you lose is the time setup, networking if diff from default, and the record schedule.
Assuming youre not doing AI functions by recorder, which on that NVR you aren't

^True. We make it much worse in our head than it is.
It sucks to have to set it up again from scratch, but even PTZs aren't that bad if you screenshot everything before hand and then just recreate it.
Same with an NVR.

That seems to have fixed it. Video and controls are both back. I didn't realize that if I just hooked a keyboard and monitor up, I didn't have to F with all of the web browser mess. I may just leave it down here by my desk.

Awesome.
Something along the way got confused. On an NVR it isnt common but shit happens.
Glad you're back up and running
Yes, as I said, I tried it. Look a couple responses up and you will see it took a full factory reset to fix it. It's all up and going now.
Thank you all for your help. I learned a lot about this thing in the last couple of days.
Thanks again
Thanks again
