Was this a silly question, or have I posted it in the wrong area? Rob

Hi all, I have a Hikvision DS7608 which I’ve managed to access via the Hik-Connect app. My question is is the notification system an all or nothing affair? I have 8 cameras, all with some form of motion detection or smart event set up but I only want notification on my smartphone when one...

Thanks Fenderman. I called it a monitor, but it's actually a TV. It has an HDMI input but no VGA, hence the requirement for the working HDMI output from the NVR (or a converter) Cheers, Rob

I get nothing but good advice from this forum. Thanks guys!

Oooh, didn't think of that! Might save me replacing the NVR. Good bit of out of the box thinking! Thanks

Hi Alistair. Thanks for replying. The monitor just indicates 'no signal' from the HDMI source. The resolution from the VGA output is perfectly acceptable. I have rebooted the NVR a few times, and changed the resolution settings, but to no avail. I'm guessing a hardware failure like this...

Hi all, I wonder if any of you Gurus out there could help me. I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P. After a little help from forum members a few months ago I had it up & running perfectly. All of a sudden the HDMI output has stopped working. I have eliminated any problem with the monitor and...

Re: Can you configure a Hikvision NVR to record motion detection using a Lilin camera So, I now have a Hikvision DS-2CD2642FWD-IZS camera Firmware V5.4.1 build 160525 IP address 192.168.254.8 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Default gateway 192.168.254.1 Port 8000 HTTP port 80 RTSP port 554 I also...

Re: Can you configure a Hikvision NVR to record motion detection using a Lilin camera The beating the NVR is threatened with is purely collateral damage, as I'm cross with the setup as a whole. I thought that that being a decent camera it'd be supported - my fault for assuming. I have a...

Re: Can you configure a Hikvision NVR to record motion detection using a Lilin camera My plan was just to have a simple setup - NVR, cameras on PoE and a monitor - so I have no router or wireless access to it, hence the separate laptop & lead for the setup & diagnosis. The network page in the...

Re: Can you configure a Hikvision NVR to record motion detection using a Lilin camera Hi Alastair, Thanks very much much for the info, it's much appreciated. Although I understood perhaps 20% of what you said I had a try anyway. The two are are connected by ONVIF. I downloaded the device...

Hi All, I have a Hikvision 7608 NVR which I'm trying to couple with a Lilin LR7022 IP camera. After many trials and tribulations I have managed to get them talking to each other and have even managed to get it to record continuously. If you knew how much of a tech muppet I am you'll realise...

Re: Yet another Newbie looking for help....setting up a Hikvision NVR & Lilin IP came Thanks Colmcille, It appears that it does work with an ONVIF profile, as it seems to be working as advertised now. Cheers, Rob

. Hello All. I'm new to this forum (and to the world of NVRs & IP cameras in general) and looking for some advice. I'm looking to add a simple home surveillance system, with no requirement for Internet connectivity, to my property. I bought a Hikvision DS 7608 NVR & a Lilin iMegapro IP...
