Is there any way to trigger alarm via cgi command? I have laser tripwire and PIR sensors and I want force NVR to start recording on command addition to standard camera motion detection.

I have FTP upload set up to LAN server 10.10.10.2. My 3g internet is very unstable and can be down for weeks. Turns out, NVR does not upload anything to LAN FTP server when WAN is down.
Can anybody confirm that is the case?

Model RLN8-410-E
Hardware H3MB16
Firmware v2.0.0.274_20120701

Do you offer 940nm illuminators for your cameras? If not, are there any off the shelf product that fit? for example:

I have old RLN8-410, if I throw B800 cameras away and buy RLC-810A instead with my old RLN8-410, does that support AI?

Product page says that old RLN8-410 does not support AI detection.

* The old version of RLN8-410 doesn’t support person/vehicle detection.

I bought new cameras that support turning IR lights off: RLC-410. Still cannot turn IR lights off when connected to NVR. There are no option to turn off IR.

I thought it was not possible to turn IR off while using Black and White. But I see this option when configuring NVR directly with monitor and mouse. Can someone confirm that it's possible to turn B800 IR lights off with RLN8-410-E?

B800 motion detection is sometimes too late and B800 cameras do not support pre-recording.

Thats why use "timer" recording instead. When movement is detected then I go to playback and scroll 10 seconds back before motion was detected.

But that gives me another problem, you cannot download clips smaller than 30min. 30 min clips are 2GB minumum which are way too big for my 3G connection to handle. If I could set pack duration to 5 min then I could download the file where something happened. I cannot reduce quality any more, then licence plates and faces are not recognizable.
