FWIW I have some hikvision colorvu cameras that have the built in led lights. I have found that leaving the leds on is best with low light situations Vs using IR and they are not too bright that it disturbs any of the neighbors. It’s equivalent to your phones LED light. Or just kinda looks like...

1000% I have had my phone do this TONS of times. Scary as shit.

You are probably viewing the substream

Oh I hear ya! It is exciting. But kind of a catch 22. They can only do this cause rates are high on everything else also. In the end they still are collecting more than we are lol

Yes 100%. With zero light you actually CAN get a so so image but you won’t be able to make anything out once motion occurs. Only option is to use white light in this case. Which I found isn’t too big of a distraction. Mainly looks like someone’s cell phone light lol

I guess my expectations were different. I was amazed at how good of video I get with little ambient lighting. Lol Works well with white light also but I prefer adding external light. You can’t see near as far in FOV with the use of the white light vs ambient light.

I have hikvision colorvu cameras and love them. I have enough lighting from a porch light and one scone light to give a great image at night without the use of the white light.

I bank at SoFi which pays 2.5 on checking and 3.25 on savings with zero hoops to jump through. Too bad my savings has been drained this last year though. Lol

I am also about to upgrade to the RT6600 I think. Not sure if I will need a mesh. I currently have a mesh extender to give range to my back patio. How large of an area were you covering that required you to add the MR2200ac? I’m not able yo place my router in the middle of my house. What is the...

I also use Hik-Connect just fine. I was constantly getting illegal log in attempts on my NVR and alerts from Xfinity about ip attempts on all previous cameras and then the new NVR. As soon as I turned off UPnp on the NVR and my router (as suggested by this board) I haven’t received one alert...

They lost me when the chat sales team would not tell me who or at least where they were manufactured and when they could not even answer the bandwidth capability of one of their NVRs. Extremely happy with hikvision thus far.

I ALMOST purchased that brand. Lol Sounds like a good thing I did not.

Under your record schedule is it set to event or motion? If event, switch it to motion. If it still doesn’t work you must have same issue as OP.

I did check and am running a newer firmware version than you are. Maybe that was fixed!

Yea makes sense. Was just trying to think of anything else to play around with. Glad to have an NVR to do all this for me regardless lol
