Re: Drive issues
I pulled the WD Red drive out and did a manual ntfs format on it with diskpart. Put it back in the nvr and it worked fine. So I'm not sure if it matters or not in this case. I guess the drive just filled up and messed up the nvr when doing overwrites. I'll try setting the delete expired files after ...

Re: Drive issues
Decided to call their support. The guy was very nice. He said they only suggest using seagate barracuda drives. I just looked over the product page and documentation again and there is no reference to drive brand, only size. He said if I wanted to keep trying my drives I can try connecting them to a...

Re: Drive issues
Thanks. I'm surly using better drives then what Amcrest ships with their units. I can't imagine they are using WD Purple drives.
I can't bellieve 3 of my Red drives won't work, or an HGST 4TB nas drive.

Drive issues
Is there a particular kind, brand, model drive I should be using with my NV4108E-A2? When I first got it I had to try 3 different WD Red 3TB drives before it picked one it liked and showed up in the web console. That drive worked ok until last night when playback wouldn't seek and the video looked c...

Re: E-Mail alerts on Motion Detection
Also having issues with email alerts for motion detection. Test emails work fine. I followed the guides on how to set up motion detection. If I go into the Amcrest View Pro app and enable Push Notifications I get app alerts but still no email alerts. Actually the system doesn't even log alerts unles...

Re: Cameras Offline After NVR Reboot
Not yet. It wasn't really a big deal. Sometimes community help is better / faster.
I'm going to do a reset on it and see if anything improves.
I had my old amcrest nvr replaced 2 times before I got a stable one.
Also looking at just running something like zoneminder.

Re: Cameras Offline After NVR Reboot
Here is the manual for my NVR. At least a generic manual for a line. https://support.amcrest.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403083275789-User-Manual-NV4116-A2-NV4116E-A2-NV4108-A2-NV4108E-A2- It seems like there SHOULD be a security tab. But I don't see it anywhere. These are my options in my NVR. Screensho...

Re: Cameras Offline After NVR Reboot
So I am not sure what is going on really. Now your first picture is what would show on my Phone app when my NVR gets to a channel that isn't loaded. Now your last picture shows 2 other cameras that were logged in? Do they auto log in or is that because you have already logged them in? Do you have y...
