Hi aster1x, I grab http://user:password@192.168.1.64/MotionDetectionExt via curl (not the windows curl, but the real curl. You'll need to install it) Obviously use the user/pass and IP address of your camera. I then "search and replace" substituting "normal" for "expert" Then use curl to place...

For anyone that follows later, I found the intrusion detection MUST be set with the NVR first. Once enabled and saved then log into the cameras and configure using the intrusion detection options. Not sure why but if I tried to enable in the camera it would not work unless I enabled it for each...

Oh well, it appears maybe the first part of my "0" threshold problem may have been sensitivity. I just got it to work with 0 by cranking sensitivity right up to 100. I thought 50% would be enough but I was wrong. The wife is putting the baby to sleep so I cant keep walking in/out the front door...

Hi alastairstevenson, I've been playing with the intrusion detection the last few days and it does not seem to work that well for me. If you have the time and the will maybe you could help me solve a few things. The issues I have with it is you must set a threshold of 1 or above. If I set...

Hi Ukie, Sorry for the late reply. I cut/pasted/modified a little batch scrip to adjust all my cameras after a power outage. I had my router die however, so have plugged my cameras back into the PoE ports on the NVR and just last night had a power outage again. This time I have tried to enable...

Ahh yes, I did try this. But for some reason it would not record. I gave up on it after failing to get it right for a few days. All I did was add a non-administrator account on the camera and then in the NVR go to the cameras and edit it to connect with the new user/pass. If it's something that...

I am not aware of any web UI documentation. I find a lot of the documentation refers to features or has screen shots of versions that are not mine. It's very disheartening. They don't have very good version control over their software and they seem to jump around a fair bit. I was really...

I hope it does apply to you mate. Nothing worse than paying for something that doesn't deliver. I always think the NVR's retrieve some settings from the cameras to display to the user, and push some back to the camera. For instance, if configure a camera and THEN attach it to a network with an...

SOLVED! Short story, Securame was correct. There is a setting when you go to the web based interface of the NVR. I can't find this setting in the camera interface, the physical terminal interface for the NVR or via the windows IVMS software. For the benefit of others a quick step through...

Interesting finding: Okay so I had the settings @ 15fps and 6144 bit rate. I triggered motion detection and it changed to 25fps and 2046 bit rate. (poor quality) I left the settings and checked them some time AFTER motion detection recording had stopped. Settings now 25fps @ bit rate 8192 This...

Cool, I just had it set for bit rate 6144 and happen to be looking through live view when a rather large butterfly flew close to the camera across my motion detection area. The image all turned to crap and I checked bit rate and it had in fact dropped to 2046. I am now convinced the issue is to...

Yep, just checked it. Changed to 6144 and saved it. Look through live view (via the camera web interface) and the image was acceptable. I flicked back to configuration and checked. Yes I was in 6144 bit rate. I then walked out into the motion detection zone and came back and checked the live...

Oh man the hikvision software really sh!ts me. Some bug's I have found: When the NVR reboots it will default all cameras back to "normal" motion detection mode, when I have them set to expert. This causes motion detection to stop working in my situation. I've written a one-click batch file for...

Securame: I only seem to have main and sub stream settings. Main settings are the ones I am fiddling with and I have made sub stream very poor quality so it would be super obvious if it started using it. Is there somewhere else to access "event" settings? I am doing it via the camera...

For nights, I turn the IR off. I am really regretting buying dome cameras. The turrets would have been far superior! I have really bad IR bleed issues, dirty dome and spider web issues which I believe are all reduced somewhat with turret. The IR bleed not being an issue at all. So I turn off the...
