I tried running with UPS, different UPS and no UPS for a day - no solution there.
I tried running in record all channels mode and no record and recording 4 channels - no solution there.
I log into all of the cameras - turn off maintenance on all cameras - no solution there.
I am running a WD yellow label and I will now try a surveillance HD to see if it was the TYPE of hard drive that is causing such problem. I don't know if this particular yellow label cannot take the heavy read/write volume of the NVR. I am running 16 x 5mp cameras at 1920x1080P.
Also, this NVR comes with two LAN ports for redundancy...........I am only currently running one, but I can set up the other and run both to see if this may help.
I connected my NVR to a Netgear 16-port gigabit switch. Netgear-16 is connected to my Asus Router and two other Netgear switches. My Asus router is connected to my fiber modem. I don't think its the network as this problem was occurring before I placed the NVR on this network, but I can try to do some isolation for testing purpose.
These switches are connected to a Passive 8-port Injector that is connected to each 5MP camera and one Sunba 20X PTZ.
I only have one 6tb hard drive in the unit for testing purpose. Yellow label WD.
Also, I will try to update the firmware and see if that will resolve the issue.
Of course, I will try one step at a time to try to isolate the problem. I will post my findings.
Please let me know if there is any other ideas or things I can try to fix this problem.
The rebooting is random, so its hard to pinpoint: sometimes every two hours, sometimes every hour, sometimes every six hours. Rebooted 7 times for last night. rebooted only twice for today. rebooted 4 times for the entire day the previous day.
