What could cause a Dahua camera to stop recording?

Why Your Dahua Camera Is Not Recording

If your Dahua camera is not recording, several factors might be causing the issue. Here are some steps to help identify and resolve the problem:

  1. Check the Recording Schedule:

    • Ensure that the camera is configured to record continuously or set to record based on motion detection. Review the recording schedule settings to confirm they are set correctly.
  2. Verify Storage Availability:

    • Check if the storage device, such as the hard drive or SD card, has enough available space and is functioning properly. If the storage is full, the camera will not be able to record additional footage.
  3. Confirm Camera-NVR Connection:

    • Ensure that the camera is properly connected to the NVR and is recognized by the system. Check the connection status in the NVR interface to confirm that the camera is online.
  4. Inspect Recording Settings:

    • Verify that the recording parameters, including resolution and bitrate, are correctly set up for your camera. Inadequate settings may prevent recording from occurring.

For more detailed troubleshooting steps and guidance, you can refer to the official Dahua User Manual. This document provides comprehensive information on configuring and managing your Dahua devices.
