Interesting... I did the same. As in configured the settings in NVR directly and then did the additional settings in the camera web browser mode. But maybe I should restart the NVR once I have done the camera settings for it to consider the updates at the camera level perhaps?! Will try giving it a go today for the one camera I am currently setting up.
There's no need to restart the NVR if you set up in the order of my last post. The only reason to restart is if you bypass the NVR by programming the camera directly, but more importantly it's only needed if you change something in the camera that will be visible in the NVR GUI. It's just so that the menus are in sync and to avoid the NVR showing one value when the camera is set to another.
To avoid confusion with NVR vs Camera settings, keep in mind that when you alter any camera setting using the NVR, be it resolution, frames per second, quality, bitrate, motion detection, line crossing etc, you are changing and saving nothing on the NVR. You're merely using the NVR as an interface to change and save the settings on the IP camera. That is the difference between an IP system with NVR and a HDTVI system with DVR. In an IP system the NVR just saves the recording schedule and requests the main stream from the camera - the settings in the camera dictate the resolution, fps and quality. It's the same for the alarms - all saved in the camera
