Model: VIGI NVR4032H  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.5 Build 240424 Rel.75896n

Greetings,

 

In my company we bought a VIGI NVR4032H, which was working fine-ish and adding all cameras for security recordings. Yesterday I happened to upgrade from Firmware 1.0.1 to 1.0.5, which caused a lot of my cameras to suddenly just not work in the NVR, some are added but give no video, others just say "Request failed.". This is a huge problem for me since most of these cameras are in difficult places and would require to change them for some newer cameras, since I saw the ones got disabled are all "DCS-XXXX" models, the other VIGI and TAPO cameras we have are working fine. 

 

Thank you very much!

Hi @Daniel_Brisson 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Have you tried to reboot opther IPCs?

Any further information can you share with me? A screenshot of the error message for other IPCs?

VIGI and Tapo still work which means the system still functions normally. ONVIF of the Tapo works. VIGI proprietary protocol also works.

Thank you for your answer, I have tried rebooting all the IPCs that stopped working after the firmware upgrade, but no use.

 

The cameras can be added to the NVR, but it just says "No Network Video" which is false since my Synology NAS surveillance can pick up and record footage of that camera.

 

I'll attach exactly what it says, I tried changing the port, but it just auto corrects to 80, I know a simple firmware downgrade would solve it since it has worked perfectly for months.

I'll be awaiting your answer on how to proceed.

 

Thanks

I need to know the specific model number and vendor name.

In addition, how many IPCs do you have on this NVR? Can you make sure that the stream is not used up by removing some models to test your mentioned models?

We now assume that maybe the stream channels are used up.

Let me know the result and I will take further steps.

Camera models are:

DCS-4712E x2
DCS-4612EK x2

I've got 25 devices added into the NVR, and I don't think it was because of the stream channels being used, since they were working literally before I updated, the moment I updated, 0 video from these cameras, but anyways I did try removing some cameras but of course, they didn't work.

With 1.0.1 firmware, everything was working perfectly.

 

Best regards

  @Clive_A  I have the same issue too since upgrading to 1.1.0 build. 

 

I cant seem to be able to 'upgrade' locally but with the 1.0.3 build.  Is that possible to do?

Support team regarding this. Or contact the email provided by the VIGI app. Our team will help you on this case.

 

We cannot downgrade on some models.
