Did you enable Hik-Connect on the NVR GUI? I had this problem when I switched Hik NVRs after a few years, had to relearn all the steps and this was one small step that I overlooked and drove me nuts for a bit

at what point does it time out? when starting a camera feed? upon starting the app? etc? here's the link to older hik-connect android apps versions: Older versions of Hik-Connect (Android) | Uptodown and you said it works in your pc browser... i'm assuming web browser? did you try iVMSS program?

I'm using a DS-7608NI-K2/8, and i agree with having to get the mouse out to view events directly from the NVR sucks. But as of late i've been using IVMS-4200 from my PC and have been messing around with event view from there, and its actually impressed me, I can now view every time a...

Yes, that is how it typically sounds. It is terrible, sounds like equipment is dying a horrible death, but its normal. I have the same Hik NVR as you, and a DS-7604-NI/K1 and they both make that exact sound when no HDD is installed, makes me cringe.

follow up, i realized my problem. I took what @alastairstevenson said and checked the camera only plugged into the splitter and it still wouldn't turn on (no mic attached). I looked into the splitter i was using (it was given to me with some access points, had no markings or part number), and...

i did check and polarity was coming from the splitter correctly, i should add that i was using this type of connector off of the splitter with this type of plug running power to the camera, and i terminated the power and ground wire for the microphone along with the wires for the camera at the...

Recently connected a Hikvision DS-2FP2020 microphone to my Hik DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 camera, using a POE splitter i was trying to power both the camera and microphone off the same run of network cable connected to the NVR DS-7608NI-I2/8P. After everything was connected, i checked the status of my...

i realized my wyze cam that i have set up indoors to monitor my cats had a view of a tall window where she ran to in front of my vehicle so i decided to check the picture on that too, she clearly came up to that window and looked in real fast, but what was most interesting was that it recorded...

i definitely think she was coming down off something, seems like she ran up to my door with expectations of it being unlocked like it was some place familiar to her, then started to connect the dots and realized "something is different". What blows my mind is how quickly this took place, i was...

First craziness I've caught on camera since install. I've since relocated front door camera, and adjusted shutter speeds on several cameras after going over these videos countless times... Enjoy

one thing to take into consideration: your NVR supports decoding of up to 6 cameras at 1080p resolution each https://us.hikvision.com/sites/default/files/data_sheet/10381_vsds7600nieseries100115us.pdf(combined total of 12,441,600 pixels). if you're running all 8 cameras at max resolution (4mp)...

i had a similar problem, my hikvision turret cameras were down for 4 months before i could power them back up, and within a few days of powering them up, they developed moisture in the lens and ir led after the first foggy morning. I disconnected power, took them down, pulled off the micro sd...

https://forums.redflagdeals.com/setting-up-tp-link-smart-plug-reboot-wireless-router-2163076/ maybe you could use a smart outlet to achieve remote restarts?

NVR with IFTTT ability maybe IFTTT and some wifi outlets/bulbs? motion sensor floodlights would by far be the easiest way to go

talking on this, I use a Hikvision NVR and i can run the IVMS app on my Nvidia Shield console to view camera feeds from my couch. I'm sure someone here would know if there is a tv app you could use for BI or a Dahua NVR. Heck, i imagine it wont be long before "Works with Alexa" is a topic title...
