    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    Right now I am using 3.3.2 I use continuous motion detection. So, it only records motion. I have set it to 10secs either side of the detection. This seems to work well for my purpose and I can record a few weeks usually with my 2TB drive unless I get a spider web on the cameras at night. Also...

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    Hey folks, It's been a while. I have been building a new video editing PC and have been busy at work. After running the set-up for some weeks now, I have got some comments and observations. At first, I was not concerned with the 'noisy' power supply unit fan in the machine. I am now. I don't...

    Hikvision Email Setup Fail?

    Even try a re-boot after you change it. Mine does not work with the SSL selected. Your modem could be blocking the ports you are choosing? There are so many things it could be. You just have to keep trying things.

    Hikvision Email Setup Fail?

    You will have try those different combinations and see what will work. Also, whenever you make a change, make sure that you press save. Try a different email address. I am guessing that you have the rest of the network set-up okay? You'll get it. Chris

    Hikvision Email Setup Fail?

    Try port 25 instead of 587. Also, I am guess you just made a typing on the senders address? Try smtp.email.msn.com for the outgoing SMTP Server

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    I'm happy with mine John. I have seen them from other sellers at cheaper prices since, but I am pleased with the purchase. I don't know if E&M are the best, there are others and I bought 2 of cameras elsewhere, but the fact that the NVR was an "English version" apealed to me. Make sure you check...

    I didn't have any of these issues, but I must have a different NVR to you given the firmware that you used? I have always run in 1080p. There is an issue with the latest Chrome and web components as talked about on this forum. I now use IE. You might want to return back to the default factory...

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    I think I read somewhere in the firmware notes that it does block downgrades. To make it quite clear, my NVR unit was purchased from an Aliexpress seller. It came shipped in an English retail box with an Australian 240v plug, English instructions and English firmware matching the numbers on...

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    I have just successfully upgraded from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 with no issues so far. Already, I have noticed a couple of differences in the menu layout. Once I upgraded, dynamic analysis for motion was ticked on all channels, so I had to turn that off. Everything else seems fine after 10-20mins of...
