Thanks for the info. I did get it running and posted my reply. Being a plant electrician for 40 years, I thought it might be electronically controlled but couldn't find any schematic info on it; that's why I wrote to Hik-Vision support and he told me, erroneously, that I should have gotten a...

Thanks for your input on this. I wasn't able to get back on it right away. What I did was to delete the Hik-Vision app and download the latest one. It then gave me the ability, under settings, to choose the chime. I did so and it works well. I didn't have to reset the doorbell which saved...

Thanks LConley I had written to Hikvision support earlier and discovered that I had missed their reply to my question. The question I posed to them was as follows: On Wed, 1 Jul at 7:58 AM , Philip Eckert wrote: Good morning, I’m a retired GM electrician and have a question for you with...

My DS-HD1 was working properly. The streaming and the doorbell chime worked. Then the doorbell chime stopped working even though my chime still worked because I disconnected the camera and connected the doorbell wires. When the button was pushed, while still connected, I heard the electronic...

No, it didn't show an error; when I put in the new parameters and then put in the password and hit the modify button, it showed that the change was accepted. However, when I refreshed the SADP screen, the old parameters were still there. Even if I rebooted, they were still there. I retried...

I did put in a default gateway 192.168.1.x; but it wouldn't work. I have used SADP many times and have changed camera IP addresses and it worked when the default gateway was the same in the first 3 segments.

I tried that several times but it doesn't work because the degault gateway is 192.168.8.x. Thanks for trying.

My grandson installed a DS-HD1 doorbell camera for me using his smart phone. Everything was fine until I rebooted the Hikvision DS-7716NI-I4 / 16P NVR. I was working on another Hikvision surveillance camera. When I noticed that the doorbell camera was no longer working, I started to work on...

I'm displaying 1920 x 1080 with a bitrate of 1536 and a frame rate of 20. My NVR won't handle the full res which is listed as 3840 x 2160. The Vizio is 1080 and my laptop is also 1920 x 1080.

I have a Hikvision Model DS-7604NI-SE/P NVR with firmware V2.3.12 and I had 2 Hikvision cameras, 3MP, Model DS-2CD2232-I5, connected to the recorder. I could select either camera full screen view on the tv and the camera view would stay there, or I could select both cameras in a quadrant view...

My son helped me on this and we brought the 8mp camera down in resolution, brought the two 3mp cameras down also and reduced the frame rates on all of them. Then we slowly increased the rates on all 3 cameras up to a maximum of 1920 x 1080. The ? mark error then was gone on the tv setup...

I connected a Hikvision camera DS-2CD2T85FWD-I8 to my NVR and instead of a connection symbol, it showed a ? mark which indicated there was an error. I can see the picture and can set up the camera for 3840 x 2160 resolution on the browser using the 65000 port but then when I look at the browser...

Thanks 58Chev for the info. Phil

58chev, Do you know the IP address of the UK site? Thanks, Phil

My question is a little different, I bought a Hikvision camera, model DS-2CD2T85FWD-I8 8MP POE, from Visionshow on Ebay. The camera is english language and advertised as upgradeable. The firmware is v5.5.5. When I contacted Hikvision USA, I asked them if it was upgradeable and they told me it...
