No idea mate. Could you explain how to correctly add the NVR to hik connect ?

Yea still the same thing. I initialised the NVR when I first connected the new cameras on Sunday, so tried watching footage from yesterday but just shows little yellow blocks on the timeline but won’t play anything. So frustrated by this. See picture attached:

No neither

Could you elaborate? I connect to the NVR at home with a Cat5 cable direct into the router.

kcinick: no it doesn’t have a cross through it, it looks like this, (picture attached)

Hello. My 3 cameras record fine and also are linked to my phone with the Hik-Connect app so I can live view them fine, but playback on the app does not work. It used to when I had just one camera, but even that was temperamental, now I added 2 more cameras none of them want to play back at...

Hi there and thank you so much for your in depth and prompt response. I think I understand what your saying, but can you explain a bit more about the test rig part please. FYI I only use Hikvision ip cameras and I have a poE switch with me at all times so I can power a camera using a long...

Help. I just purchased an OnvianTech test monitor from Amazon in the hope I can connect it to my Hikvision IP cameras with a cat5 cable and view the image at the top of the ladder before I commit to the mounting position. The thing is a nightmare to use as it comes with very vague instructions...

Hello. I have installed 15 ip Hiwatch by Hikvision Turret cameras (IPC-T140) into a Hikvision 16 Channel Network IP Video Recorder with 16 PoE Ports & Alarm I/O (DS-7616NI-E2-16P-A). I installed 12 of those cameras in December all the same way using brand new cat5e cable from each camera to...

Hi mate. Yes that's how these cameras usually work, just plug and play straight out of the box, which the first 12 cameras did fine, but these final 3 just have a "detecting" message come up on the status bar in the Camera management menu, then just wont connect.

Success! I have downloaded the SADP tool to my laptop now, so at least I can take this on site tomorrow. Now any thoughts as to what I can do to get these three cams working as described in my original post? Thanks for your time by the way.

I'm not sure what you mean by running it as administrator or batch config tool?

Hello, I have stumbled across this forum purely by accident if I am honest and I'm so glad I did! I have been in the digital TV systems trade for many years now but have only just started getting involved in the CCTV trade so I am very much still in the learning process. I have installed a few...
