Update: the timeline playback appears to "detect" dead-air every 4 seconds. This 4 seconds is regardless of how fast or slow the playback is. Always 4 seconds. Ideas? Anyone? Bueller?

In the latest update I have (5.7.0.3) the UI3 web page shows the Timeline option. It works until I select the skip dead-air option. When selected the timeline does what it is supposed to do except that it always thinks it found dead air only a few seconds after a video clip starts. It is as if...

Answers: 1) I purchased the RCA connector either from my local Home Depot or Radio Shack (I can't recall which one). 2) I ended up not using the powered microphones because of the need to pull a power cord to the camera. My hopes was that the PoE would be sufficient to power both the camera...

Re: Good source to buy Hikvision items at. A big "thank you" going out to MilkIsBad. I did order the 2CD2632F-IS units from him. They arrived today in good working order. For those who are interested: These are HikVision cameras with some rebranding. They do not have "HikVision" printed on...

Re: Good source to buy Hikvision items at. Any chance on getting prices? My bad on the model above. I meant to say that I am looking for 2 HikVision DS-2CD2632F-I(S) units in English.

Re: Good source to buy Hikvision items at. Can you PM me the catalog and price list? In particular I am looking for 2 HiKVision 2CD2623F-IS units in English. I had to return 2 I got from Amazon due to both audio channels failed. I am looking for reliable replacements.

I have heard lots of good things about BI. Not to fork this thread but I found it difficult to settle on which NVR software to choose. There are lots of alternatives; most are rarely known. HikVision has one (I am still not clear on if there is a free version), Blue Iris, Genius Vision, etc...

Not to bash on Blue Iris, but ... I tried it but didn't like it (so I have an unused license sitting around here somewhere). I hear that lots of people like it so I must be an odd man out. I found a free license for the community version of GeniusVision's NVR. I like it quite a bit. It does have...

My update: I got the 2732F-IS' audio working today. In my case there were several wires hanging loose (no header block). 4 were for the alarm signals but the rest were audio related: RIn/Mic+ (presumably Line In Right or Mic- [maybe Mic Right?]) LIn/Mic- (presumably Line In Left or Mic-...

The amp microphone I am using is a VideoSecu MIC01: I am using an RCA connector soldered to twisted stranded (speaker) wire. I have verified that there is no short in this simple circuit. The ground/shield (silver wire) is going to the camera's AudioIn Ground and the Mic/Line (center pole in...

Thanks for the screenshots. My setup looks identical. I've also tried monkeying around with the different encoding codecs to no avail. What I don't know is if there is something wrong with my hardware, or my computer's software (as in missing audio codec, etc). I have verified my microphones...

I am so happy to see this thread as it is very difficult to find anything on this topic elsewhere. I have a DS-2CD2732F-IS and 2 DS-2CD2632F-IS units. I love them but I am unable to get them to stream audio at all. To be fair I have been trying to get the 2632F-IS units to stream (the 2732F-IS...
