    Hikvision DS-7732NI-E4 NVR - adding new cameras

    In June 2023 I added 3 new DS-2DE4A425IWG-E cameras onto my existing NVR, these added in without any issues at all. I have just in the last month or so tried to add another 2 X DS-2DE4A425IWG-E cameras and I cannot get the NVR to pick them up at all, is it possible the NVR is no out of date...

    HIK- Vision DDNS access

    Some of you may remember my previous thread where I was struggling to get the cameras all connected, thanks to the help on this forum I now have 7 cams connected via the lan port on the back of the HIK Vision NVR (DS-7732) For some reason though, when we try to connect via the hik-online.com...

    HIKVision NVR with additional POE router

    Thanks for confirming that, I was expecting the Poe cams to be on the NVR subnet but I don't make that clear. I can also see why having DHCP on for the cams connected to the GigE switch is worthwhile, although could I manually assign up address in the high range say 192.168.1.2xx knowing...

    HIKVision NVR with additional POE router

    Oh wow now youve thrown a curve ball...Set the cameras to DHCP? what is assigning the IP address? the router I assume as it is connected via the switch? In that case the cameras which are currently 192.168.254.xx (as per the NVR) will all move over to the 192.168.1.xx range as per the router &...

    HIKVision NVR with additional POE router

    Brilliant, thats a lot cheaper then a new NVR box which was being considered, also a lot easier to setup too. just to confirm the camera POE switch is a TP Link SG1008PE which has 8 gigabit ports http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-42_TL-SG1008PE.html so this will uplink the cameras...

    HIKVision NVR with additional POE router

    The power line is a bit of a hiccup here but is needed Ok so i could do it like this... router > powerline > giga switch > NVR And then from the cameras connected to a POE switch they could go like this... Cameras > POE Switch > Giga Switch > NVR would that work? I know its not ideal with the...

    What is the de-bricking process for HIKVision camera and NVR firmware updates?

    Thankfully the offending Camera was working today when I put the IP into my browser, firmware is on 5.3 and the password is a strong one :) Just need to sort my other issue you are kindly helping me with now :)

    HIKVision NVR with additional POE router

    HIKvision POE network ports how much bandwith can you sqeeze from one port?

    Ah ok thats good to know, I am not near the kit right now (its not mine its a friends) but I can confirm that in the web gui of the 7732 it is seeing the cameras but saying they are offline, if I put the cameras IP in I can see the live view no problem so I need to check on this GUI again when I...

    HIKVision NVR with additional POE router

    Yeah your right it's too much data going through that 1 port. The NVR isn't connected great to be honest, it's connect via a power line adaptor to a BT home hub, which I very much doubt has a gigabit port on it as it's an old one. My friend has two choices i think. First have the 7...

    HIKVision NVR with additional POE router

    Hi, thanks for the reply :) The cams are all hikvison bullets, 6 X 2CD2032 (3mp) and 1 2CD2042 (4mp) not sure what bandwidth they will take up? This NVR only has the one LAN port which is the gigabit one, on the back. If I was to use this for the switch, how can I get the NVR to talk to...

    HIKvision POE network ports how much bandwith can you sqeeze from one port?

    I have this very same/similar question and I have just found your thread. I'm picking this up, as a novice, after someone badly installed a DS-7732NI-E4/16P with 11 cams (2032 Bullets), 5 connected directly to the back of the NVR & 6 via a POE switch, into one of the POE ports on the back of...

    HIKVision NVR with additional POE router

    Hi guys, is it ok to run a DS-7732NI-E4/16P with around 5 cameras directly connected to the POE ports on the back, and then run another 7 cameras connected via a POE switch with the switch then connected to the POE ports on the back? The additional 7 cameras are located quite far away from the...
