I have a 3 camera iVMS 4200 CCTV system with a Hikvision NVR DS-7604NI-E1-4P (copied from my original invoice which has SEAGATE SURVEILLANCE 7TH GEN 3.5 HDD, 3TB typed underneath ) and I presume the latter to be the HD in the NVR. But I have hit a problem today which I have never seen before. It...

Thank you Alastair, I'll have a read of those posts.

Thank you for that biggen. Yes, I am recording 24/7 and I have played with the motion detection on my system but that just sets up an area where, if motion is detected, then I can see it easily. But the problem is that if I want to cover all aspects of my premises then I have to install more...

Hello everyone. This is a question that I asked a couple of years ago so apologies for the repeat. I have had my Hikvision CCTV system on the farm for about 4 years now and I have what I would have thought was a simple question. I have asked my supplier for help but they do not respond. My set...

I had a friend who used a Sirius in his industrial distribution business and in fact he persuaded me to get a pc in the first place. I had quite a few customers in my line of work as well as my main business and it certainly proved useful. At the time I had only just about got to grips with the...

I grew up at the DOS prompt I'll have you know (when I was in my 40th year ;) ) Windows didn't appear until about 2 years later. No images or anything like that of course. Word processing was with SuperWriter, spreadsheet was Supercalc. Zipping was done with PKZIP. I had a dual floppy green...

No, for my sins I haven't tried that. I am always just a bit concerned about installing 3rd party software. But I think I will probably try it later. I should have probably mentioned that I am a desktop man using a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.

There has been a development ! I have been playing around with my Video To Video utility and have discovered that if I convert the video emanating from the NVR using the option M2TS option (as shown below) the resultant video quality is as good as the original but also that Power Director...

Thank you. Have sent a PM.

Sorry but I am being a bit thick. I haven't zipped files for years. I do have 7-Zip on my PC but I downloaded WinZip anyway. But when I tried both utilities the resultant MP4 file was still 8129k in size, actually slightly larger than the original ! What on Earth am I doing wrong please ?

Thank you. Have sent the PM but hit a problem as you will see.

Thank you. Yes, I can do that. I have just grabbed 10 seconds of night view from one of the cameras. Is that enough ? It is 7.93mb. It is from a Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MP EXIR Turret Dome Camera, 4mm. I do have a PTZ camera on the system but Power Director still doesn't like that either. I...

I have just found this on my system. Am I in the right place ?

Thank you for the reply. Yes, sorry, the NVR is recording the videos. I presume that I can check the camera web GUI Video/Audio tab when I go into the Control Panel somewhere ? As an aside, if I change the GUI Video/Audio tab from h.265+ to h.265 does that detract from the quality of the video ?

Thank you for that. I'll come back to you about that later if I may.
