Hi all,

In the past week my Hikvision has suddenly (after 18 months) started creating an audio beep every so often. Having searched around for it, there was some resources saying it was a new default setting to have alarm on for motion detection. I checked, mine wasn't and i can't locate anywhere in the not great user interface that tells me what these audi beeps relate to.

Any pointers please?
 
Any ideas how i'd find this out? Assume there must be some sort of log in the software if it knows something is up to beep?
 
Go to the NVR logs and scroll through them. If it's the HD there will be alarms. Config, maintenance, log.
 
Or when it beeps click the warning triangle on the screen and the pop up will indicate the cause. There are a few things that can cause the beep that are enabled by default - as @fullboogie says it could be hard drive failure. Also recording exception, illegal login attempt and IP conflict will cause it.
