    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    Confusion set in there- it doesn't. I can still have Scheduled Switch on. Thanks for your help.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    Well the UI has certainly changed, but no, there's no gain setting under Exposure. I tried all six of the options: Basic, Front Light, Back Light, Low Illumination, Custom 1 and Custom 2. The firmware is Firmware_V5.7.19_241207...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    Okay, I went off to check and it wasn't there - I only had "Iris", " Anti Banding" and the actual exposure. I missed your post @wittaj and have started updating the firmware on one of them. That would be in "Low Illumination" mode IIRC? I'll go back and check now as the update will be done.

    Thanks, I'll have to have another look. I may need to update the firmware.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    What gain setting are you adjusting? I've got 2 x 2387G2-LU and haven't come across the gain that controls the amplification of the light picked up by the sensor. They seem to use the same firmware for both. I don't have many street lights in my area (one- on the opposite side of the road and...

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    A question - do you use the HDMI output? The new software seems to cut the audio off when the system auto locks users out. I can't find a way to get the audio to work in that situation- which is annoying. My old 7608NI-I2 used to keep the audio going all the time.

    Has anyone purchased off SS-Inter ? (Ebay Australia.)

    More info - the NVR firmware upgraded fine, using firmware from www.hikvision.com website. That's a big improvement over my last NVR purchased from an Australian Hikvision retailer's store- that was region locked to only using firmware from Hikvision Australia. Using overseas firmware would...

    Hikvision NVR 5.0 software - enabling sound on Live View when locked?

    With the new NVR 5.0 software, has anyone worked out how to enable sound on Live View when the NVR has locked itself? My old NVR had the sound on, but this new version mutes the sound as soon as the NVR locks. Edit: this in on the HDMI output. (Hikvision NVR firmware updates = 1 step forward...

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    So there is nowhere to turn it on in the NVR? I've been searching for ages and thought they must have renamed it!

    Has anyone purchased off SS-Inter ? (Ebay Australia.)

    Just in case anyone else ever searches- the transaction went well. The NVR was sent from NSW (not China) and arrived in about 3 business days. The only potential issue- it was sent in the original box wrapped in black plastic. Along the way, the box suffered some damage (thanks Australia...

    Which NVR to upgrade with from Hikvision

    That's a bit odd, what is stopping you running more and what bitrate have you set them up to? I've got four running on my old DS-7608NI-I2/8P, the problem being the 10Mbps max on each channel limits the image quality. (I don't know if it will run more than four, as that's all I have.)

    Has anyone purchased off SS-Inter ? (Ebay Australia.)

    I've gone ahead and purchased the NVR off them. They've been very good responding to questions and gave me a discount. All up the price is on par with the prices on AliExpress - once freight and 10% GST is added on.

    Has anyone purchased off SS-Inter ? (Ebay Australia.)

    I guess the title says it all - there's a seller on Ebay Australia called SS-Inter and they sell security cameras/ NVR's etc. I was wondering if anyone has purchased off them? I'm looking at a Hikvision NVR and their prices are good- but not the cheapest. The cheaper options all have negative...

    Which NVR to upgrade with from Hikvision

    Yes, I've been looking at the DS-7616NI-M2/16P https://assets.hikvision.com/prd/public/all/doc/m000060966/Datasheet-of-DS-7616NI-M2_16P_V4.63.010_20230805.pdf . So a different model again.
