jrmymllr 0 Posted August 8, 2016 I reported several months ago that I have 3 identical IP cameras that all locked up within about a week of each other. They were continuously powered for about 4 months, then in a span of about a week, each locked up, requiring a power cycle. No telnet, no ping. They're powered with a good midspan (PowerDsine) and in turn connected to a UPS. It's happened again. This time it took about 5.5 months, and I thought they were freezing when hitting a specific amount of uptime. That proved to be almost correct, but it wasn't entirely predictable. Although the first one froze when hitting about 3550 hours uptime, the next froze a few hours beyond that, and the last one, a few days beyond that. Besides they ran more days this time compared to the last run. The freezeups aren't corresponding to weather or anything else I can identify, and everything else on that UPS (server, modem, router, switch) continue running uninterrupted. The UPS is plugged into a dedicated outlet with nothing else on that circuit. Has anyone else seen Hikvision cameras freeze unexpectedly on a semi-regular basis?

abdelm01 0 Posted August 31, 2016 Ya that is pretty normal actually in that time period. That is why it is recommended to reboot atleast once a month to clear cache and any dump files that will cause it to freeze up like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine why I'm having all 3 cameras lock up within a week of each other after running perfectly for so long. I chalked it up to unreliable firmware; I have no other explanation.
