The Hik DS-2CD1043G2-LIU was NOT defective. An earlier wiki entry wrongly concluded it needed RMA (dead event engine) based on a silent alertStream + diskfull/EventScribe:except + dead RTC surviving a full factory reset. Real cause: no detection AREA was drawn on the frame. With no region, the camera detects nothing -> generates no event -> posts nothing. The instant an area was drawn, the first vehicle produced a clean POST. - Flag "draw the detection area" as the FIRST thing to check. - Document the confirmed real payload: multipart/form-data (MoveDetection.xml), EventNotificationAlert with eventType=VMD, eventState=active, targetType=vehicle (vehicle/human classified on-device), targetRect bbox. Note the dateTime is garbage (dead RTC) -> use our own receive time. - Reframe the SSH diagnostics: diskfull/EventScribe/RTC are RED HERRINGS, not proof of a dead camera; don't escalate to hardware fault while a basic config precondition is unmet. - Append a log correction (append-only) superseding the earlier conclusion.
