For some reason, I just can not get the solder to go up the wick. I did as you said; put flux on the tip, placed the wick on top and put the iron on the wick. But the solder would not melt. I set my iron from 400F to 750F, but the flux would melt and smoke but the solder never melted. I've held...

Thanks for the tip. I will open up the PS tonight and see what I can find. I don't have a scope, but then I don't know what that is, LOL. I have a multimeter so I will try that. Thank you for the heads up. I think I have a roll of soldering wick in my kit. I'll try that first. I remember I use...

Thanks, everyone. I feel confident they are indeed the reason for my problems. I ordered some replacements and a solder sucker. They should be here tomorrow. I'll replace them and will use the original power supply to see if the power supply really is the cause of these capacitor failures. The...

A couple of months ago one of the cameras in my LTS 8932-16p lost its video feed. This NVR has 16 POE built in and I have 16 cameras connected to them. In live view the affected camera showed "VIDEO LOSS" and there were no recordings from that cam. Then a few days later another one went down...

Thank you to all who replied. Luckily, I don't have anything that important to warrant the time spend to get the data back. Just some dog walkers who didn't pick up after themselves and some strange dude stopped in front of my driveway and knocked on my door. I'm just p****d that the...

Hi SyconsciousAu, Can you elaborate on how to do this? Is it through a professional service or something I can do it my self? I have 5T of space and, before the format, I think I was able to go back at least 2 years. Would it suffice to say that any new videos would override old files? Or will...

Hi mat200, thanks for the reply. Luckily the police request was not crucial. My neighbors also have cameras and I think they were adequate enough for them to do the investigation. Whoever designed the features of this LTS NVR should have their heads smacked. I mean, why would they put a FORMAT...

I have an LTS LTN8916-P16 NVR with (2) 2.5T hard drives hooked up to 16 ip cameras. My local police ask if I can provide videos of suspicious activities on my street. When I found the video, I wanted to export it via a USB to a thumbdrive. I selected a video in the "export" menu and click the...

I'm pretty sure they will be compatible if they support ONVIF. Where did you get the NVR? I don't know if Chinese version NVR will be compatible though. Milk is off on weekends so if you can wait for him til Monday, he will let you know for certain.

I was thinking of doing the same with my system when I have it up and running within the next couple of weeks. Thanks @Hikv for sharing your result and @alastairstevenson for your inputs.

You are right. I didn't notice they had the new 76** in 4K. When I was buying my LTS 8932 the cross reference model was the 7732. The other difference between the 76 and 77 model is the incoming bandwidth, 160Mbps vs 256Mbps. All these models #'s and differences is enough to give me gray hair.

The LTS LTN89** is their 4K model. Hikvision's 4K model is the 77** series. I think the model you're looking for that matches LTN8916-P16 is DS-7716NI-I4/16 http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_214_i5730.html EDIT: I think their 4K model only comes in 1.5U

Good point. I hadn't think about the functionality issues of mounting it vertically. I did have to flip the camera module on my analog dome to get it to work vertically. I would imagine with pan and tilt it'll won't be that easy.

So Dahua's cameras have the same firmware doesn't matter if I buy them from a US authorized sellers or from any seller on Ali?

Thanks for the photo. However, yours is installed on the ceiling. I will have mine install on the wall at about 7' high so it will be at the edge of most people's FOV vision when they are standing at the door. Do you have any ambient light at the door with the cam that you said was useless at...
