Cameras "not detected" - but they are working fine

Running Vera Lite UI7. Whenever I login using the app or the web, I’m getting two alert messages about two cameras not being detected. The dashboard shows the same alerts. But the cameras are working fine. What does these alerts mean?

Probably at some point the device did not respond to Vera for whatever reason. I get this a lot with my VistaCamPT. They can be ignored at this point.

But it’s rather annoying to these red alerts all the time with no possibility to remove them.

There is a thread in the forum somewhere here where the guy went into the logging tab and deleted everything which cleared it out. However I"m assuming they would come back. It’s probably that the criteria UI7 uses to determine the device is or isn’t responding is to sensitive.

I admit it’s annoying, your only option is to open a support ticket to get a more definitive answer.

Hello All,

I was having this same issue and stumbled across this on a different post:

Go into the advanced settings and change “CommFailure” to “0”. Seems to be working well for me. I have heard that some folks have to go back in occasionally (every 3-4 days?), and set this back to “0”.

HTH.

I setup a scene to make this easier. Here is the LUUP code to go through your cameras and set the CommFailure to “0”;

– (cameras)
for k, v in pairs(luup.devices) do
if v.category_num == 6 then
luup.variable_set(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HaDevice1”, “CommFailure”, “0”, k)
end
end
