Changing the NVR firmware fixed the issue for me.

Update: I managed to upgrade the NVR firmware to a newer version and it seems that all the issues I was having have been resolved. So I think they can be attributed to the old firmware that came with the NVR, like I suspected. Just thought I'd post this in case somebody else was having similar...

The hard drive is a 3TB WD purple. I don't see anything of concern in the SMART detail counts but here is a screenshot in case I missed something: The cameras have "notify surveillance centre" enabled directly through the web interfaces/ivms. Line crossing and intrusion detection are enabled...

I've had a DS-7608N-E2/8P (Chinese model with English firmware, only option I had at the time) for a little over a year and I've been having some issues with it since day 1. The firmware version is V3.3.4 build 150616, the NVR region is "RR" and there are 6 Hikvision cameras (various Chinese...

Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga There are tiny domes, much smaller than the regular dome cameras like this one...

Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga You are correct. None of the tiny cameras in an enclosure have ir-cut. I looked thoroughly when I wanted to buy one and the only ones in a form factor this small that have ircut come as just boards without an...

Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga Grass is green and colors are correct day and night on mine (since it stays in day mode at night because of ample lighting).

Did you try enabling/disabling hardware decoding?

They have indoor domes as well which are cheaper (I have this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Gadinan-ONVIF-1-2-8-SONY-IMX222-Full-HD-1080P-2-0MP-Ultra-lowillumination-Mini-Dome/316399_32484550117.html). The main advantage to the non-mini versions is that they have IRCUT and...

I am using it right next to a bright street light (4m away) so it stays in day mode and performs well. Before installing it I compared the night time image to a 4MP Hik camera and I can say that under low light the Hiks are better because of the IR, but if both have enough light at night the IMX...

Is this the same camera or different specs (US $129): http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bCk6uPBS ?

Much better than other (non-Sony) sensors given the same lighting conditions owing to its wide dynamic range. Obviously this camera doesn't have IR so another camera with a cheaper sensor and IR might outperform it. But overall as long as there is decent lighting it works well.
