Yep but it costs.... :)

Right I'm definitely holding that case.

Hmm that does give me cause to hold off for a while. The cameras are one generational update behind but the NVR looks to be three firmware updates behind. The main reason I'm looking to upgrade is to get the video interface working in modern chromium browsers,

Okay thanks....

Thanks muchly.....

Hi guys a couple of questions concerning HIK-Connect on the iPhone. 1) Download videos from the NVR I don't think this is possible but I thought I'd post the question just in case I've missed anything..... On the iOS HIK-Connect app to search for a video portion and download it to the phone...

Okay, we've had our HIK Vision CCTV system installed for 19 months now and I thought it'd be wise looking at firmware updates.... The NVR is a DS-7608NI-K2 / 8P and the three cameras are all DS-2CD2087G2-LU models. The NVR Firmware details are: Firmware Version: V4.30.011 build 200803...

I think I'll be good then as for the three cameras it looks like we've a 6Tb drive on board :)

Fingers crossed, I'll post back if I do get any issues :) Thanks for the assistance.

Okay thanks for that, I've increased the settings to use a constant bitrate (8192) and harmonised the settings between cameras and the NVR, all seems okay so far. I'll monitor over the next day or so....

Humph it cost us enough. We do only have three cameras though. I've just checked the settings on the NVR for each of them, and they all vary. They are set as: The cameras again look to differ and are set as per:

Okay I should have mentioned I guess :) The NVR is model DS-7608NI-K2 / 8P, the three cameras we have are: DDS-2CD2087G2-L(U). The NVR seems to be handling the camera I've changed (i.e. it still looks okay in the HIK Connect app). Are there any recommended settings?

A quick question guys, our ColourVu cameras (and NVR) were set up by a third party installer. The cameras were set up on medium quality video and bitrate 2560. Can it cause any problems if I change the settings to 4096 bitrate and video quaity to highest? I've changed one of the cameras...

Okay I'm with you now I think. I've a few decisions to make I guess. Thanks for all the help it is very much appreciated.

It's a Synology NAS model DS918+ I can't see a way of adding a secondary IP address into the NAS system. NAS Ethernet connection configurations. Only the '202' port is used. For test purposes I did try to add the NVR network onto the Mac: I think I may have done something wrong though...
