Well, I finally figured it out. Turns out I was on the right track when I noticed that the 2 problem cameras didn't have any snapshot numbers selected. But I guess I'm blind because I didn't notice that there is also a box you need to check to ENABLE the snapshots. This box was not selected. I Check...

I like the suggestion about swapping cameras. Currently the problem cameras are on NVR channels 1 and 4. So I swapped channels 1 and 2. For some reason when I did this, it changed my camera password back to the default so I had to change it. After I did this I walked by the 2 cameras and the problem...

I went into the problem cameras: Camera--Video--Snapshots. They were all set up to trigger on "General", including the good cameras. I changed them to "Event" and did a walk-by. Still no Snapshots. Went back into the camera. The trigger setting had reverted back to "General&...

OK so I connected all the cameras back to the NVR. I opened IP Config Tool and it showed me the IP address of the NVR was 192.168.1.45 on Port 80 I clicked the "E" and it opened the login window on Firefox. I clicked on Management, then Camera. It showed me a list of the 6 cameras. The IP ...

OK so I opened the NVR and went to Storage and made sure the Snapshots were on. Hit "Apply" for each one to be sure. Did a walk-by on all the cameras. Same situation. 2 cameras still not sending. Then I disconnected the 2 cameras and connected them to my POE switch. Opened Amcrest View Pro...

So I opened the NVR and went to the "Alarm" tab then selected "Motion Detection" (See screenshot below). In this window you can select each camera and the number of Snapshots you want. Does selecting Picture Storage have any effect on whether the Snapshots are attached to the ema...

Thanks for the reply. What app is this that you are using to view the camera info? Amcrest IP Config? I have an Amcrest NV-4108E-A2 NVR. I have it connected to my router with an ethernet cable. I have the VGA output connected to my Mac computer. To open the NVR I just turn it on and set the video in...

I have 6 cameras connected to my NVR. I have them set to send an email with attachment when motion is detected. Everything was working fine until a week ago. All 6 cameras still send emails, but 2 of them will not send attachments. Not sure how this is possible because the email settings are done in...

Been using an NV4108 NVR for almost a year now with no issues. I have it set up to send me emails with snapshots on motion detect. About a week ago it suddenly stopped sending emails. I tried the Email Test with Amcrest View Pro and it failed every time. So I logged in to the NVR and looked at the e...

So I went into the Disc Manager and it showed that the hard drive was unformatted.
Reformatted it and it works great now. Thanks !
