    HikVision manually recorded video not playable

    If I disable what's under Network/Advanced/Platform Access I will no longer be able to watch via Hik-Connect as I see it...? If I have to choose, I rather have Hik-Connect than password-free video-files. I got a crypto-key in the "Local" settings, Live view parameters section. Isn't that what...

    HikVision manually recorded video not playable

    Yes, I've found that out the hard way :) Haven't tried to convert any video with VS player yet though. And yes, Stream encryption is activated.

    HIKvision DS-2CD2185FWD-I-2.8mm does not record on line crossing

    This is still an issue for me. The line crossing detection works much better now when I have redone the line from a vertical to horizontal line, but there is a greater risk that intruders won't trigger it because they won't cross it... The issue with skipping frames is back and possibly worse...

    HikVision manually recorded video not playable

    I haven't put much effort into this but I just download Hikvisions own media player, VSPlayer, and now I know what the problem is. The video is password protected!!! With the same password I must enter for the NVR to be able to view the stream from the cameras. Now, I've found the problem. How...

    HIKvision DS-2CD2185FWD-I-2.8mm does not record on line crossing

    Doesn't all downgrade require to start from scratch? I had to do that when I downgraded to v3.4.101. So that is not an issue. I'll might give v4 a try some day next week. Mine has 16 channels so that should work then.

    HIKvision DS-2CD2185FWD-I-2.8mm does not record on line crossing

    Interesting info CoreyX64. Where can I find FW 4? I didn't see it in Hiks Portal. I've done several factory reset from the web GUI without any improvements. Last night I removed the cover from the camera and pressed the physical reset button on it. I'm not sure if that made any difference. It...

    HIKvision DS-2CD2185FWD-I-2.8mm does not record on line crossing

    I only record on event, not continuously. It's might be a bit to early to say but I haven't seen any skipping/stumbling videos since I downgraded the NVR. That is kind of good. One thing worth mentioning is that it only seemed to happen in daylight. I don't think I ever seen it stumbling when...

    HIKvision DS-2CD2185FWD-I-2.8mm does not record on line crossing

    Thanks for your input. I've compare the settings and they are identical. I wondering if the angle of the line together with the fact that the ground slopes slightly towards the camera makes it hard for the camera to determine if the line is being crossed. But then again, it has worked before...

    HIKvision DS-2CD2185FWD-I-2.8mm does not record on line crossing

    Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to help much. I redid the config last night and changed the settings, but it still won't work to my satisfaction. When I came home earlier today it didn't trigger when I drove my car over the line (B->A)!! I did an experiment tonight and...

    HIKvision DS-2CD2185FWD-I-2.8mm does not record on line crossing

    I got problems with one of my cams, a DS-2CD2185FWD-IS. It does not trigger recording on line crossing any more. I drive "over" the line with my cars and the sensitivity settings are set to 100, so it really should trigger! Of cause the checkbox to activate it is checked. And recording scheduled...

    HikVision manually recorded video not playable

    I've tested both IE and PaleMoon browsers. Same issue. VLC says it's: MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265) hevc Another file is: H264 - MPEG-4 ACD (part 10) (h264) I've tested to change the video settings but it really doesn't seem to matter. It acts as it does not support the codec or possibly as it's...

    HikVision manually recorded video not playable

    If I log on to my NVR web gui, go to Live View and manually trigger recording, the files that is being stored on my computer is not not playable. VLC v3.0.8 open the file and play it but there is no image. Same with Media Player Classic. I wonder if it's encrypted somehow? If so, how do I play...

    Is there a way to tell which zone that trigger the recording?

    Simple as that! Thanks, that will really help a lot! I actually saw at least one recordings from today were no boxes flashes. Interesting... Followup question: Green squares are motion, red are events, right? Green squares are flashing all over the screen, even where I don't have any zones...

    Is there a way to tell which zone that trigger the recording?

    My hardware: Camera - DS-2DE3304W-DE Camera - DS-2CD2185FWD-IS NVR - DS-7616NI-K2/16P I have, like most seems to have, problem with tons of false alarms from my cameras. A question that keeps popping up in my mind is: If I have several zones defined in...

    Hikvision NVR event settings override camera settings

    OK, thanks! There is a chance that I actually have manage to get it right now! I've never had such few false alarms as I had today :)
