Cameras don't work all of the sudden

by 105437 » Thu Feb 25, 2016 11:00 pm

I'm running version 3.0.2 and all of the sudden the cameras quit working... SH says no rule is applied. I deleted both cameras and tried to re-add them. I received an error when trying to add the cameras (see attached). The SH "Add Camera" wizard sees both cameras but they won't add.

I can access my cameras from the computer via a web browser just fine. What's going on?

You might have already tried this, but physically turn the cameras off and back on. Same with the Router they run thru. Rebooting the computer might help too. I have had cameras go silly on me and these things have fixed the problem.

Thanks for the reply... I did try that and I end up with the same message shown in the screen shot. The wizard sees the cameras just fine but it won't add them. Really strange...

Hello 105437,

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. This is the first we've seen this message appear in the camera setup. Please send us a bug report by going to Help > Report a Problem so we can investigate your logs. Be sure to include a link to this forum post so we know it is you.

Regards,

Hi Devin, I restored to my previous week backup when my cameras were working. I will not be able to get you the logs, thanks for the reply and offer to help. If it happens again, I'll be sure and send the logs.
