Why does IR turn back on by itself?

Greetings - why does my cam keep turning the IR light back on after I've turned it off? It's an newly-installed IP8M-2496EW-V2 @ V2.820.00AC000.0.R and Surveillance Station @ 9.0.2-10057 Both the camera and the NVR have been rebooted since I learned about the problem.

Stubborn AD410 won't connect to SH

Greetings, I've had an AD410 running at my place for a few weeks. Sometime in the last 2-3 days, it stopped working with SH. There were no changes to my firewall in the this timeframe. TCPDump shows the AD410 chatting nicely with external hosts in amcrestview.com and zencamcloud.com. It's still work...
