Despite the 76xx series NVRs being moved to discontinued status Hikvision has released a new firmware dated 21 Jan 2024. Find the firmware here: DS-7608NI-I2/8P No release note available however, since its only a minor point release don't expect to see any significant changes. Likely only a...

Finally, had some success. Camera Model: 2CD2386G2-LSU/LU Camera firmware: 5.5.801 Scenario: Camera connected directly to a Hikvision NVR. Virtual host enabled. Results comment: 1. The alarm server was only reachable from the camera when port was set to "80". All other port numbers failed...

I set the IP address of the server app in the alarm centre of the IP camera. That did not appear to work. I then wondered if I should try setting the IP address for the server app in the NVR instead. That also did not work. Virtual Host is enabled on the NVR. The camera is directly...

I decided to give it a try however, the app didn't appear to see the line crossing trigger events from my camera. Probably something I've missed. I opened the firewall to the app. Any reason the app might not work for a camera located behind an NVR? I have a Hikvision NVR with the...

@Mike_Du I look forward to receiving my golden ticket! If you've recently changed out your HDD and started to see this problem or maybe it' never worked, its more likely than not the HDD. Some of the new crop of SMA (Shingled Magnetic Recording) hard drives now on the market don't have...

I'm on my phone so I'll keep it brief. The HDD is not fast enough to store the vca data. I learned the hard way too that not all Hdd are equal. Replace it with one of the recommended HDD. I'll post more when I'm back on my desktop.

To access the third stream setting you need to place the VCA resources setting into “Monitoring” mode. Only then will you get access to 3rd stream In the video/audio menu.

No issues with my 2cd2387g2 from AliExpress. Firmware upgradeable. I don’t think the shenanigans with hacked firmware has been as issue for a long time.

If it looks like the lens body could be rotated and fixed in a different position, is it possible that its been installed in the wrong orientation and that there is a clearance hole in the lens base that should have lined up with the screw that appears to be fouling? I'll need to take apart my...

That image showing lens base being at an angle to the CCD bracket would definitely explain the focus shift from left to right of frame on your camera. Seeing some of these issues such as poorly focused lenses and what I can only describe as a manufacturing fault with the lens not being exactly...

That's great you managed to refocus the cam. Shame the glue didn't come away as easily as it did in my case. It really did just peel off in one continuous piece after I broke the bond with a knife. There was no grub screws installed in the lens barrel. Only the threaded holes were present...

I recently purchased a 2CD2387G2 8MP ColorVu to replace a 2386G2 monitoring the driveway and front yard of my home. After conducting some side-by-side testing with the existing 2CD2386G2 I came to the conclusion the new 2CD2387G2 was not as well focused. Images from the 2CD2387G2 were...

I think you will find that if you grab the blue time line bar with two fingers and stretch it, the time line resolution will increase from hours down to minutes and seconds as it is stretched.

Yes. connected to a 7608NI-I2/8P NVR. Never had issues with H265+. I have G1, G3 and now G5 platform 8MP cams connected to the unit and not had issues (touch wood). I deliberately stay away from H264 since it consumes too much bandwidth/storage for my liking. I will give the higher bitrate a...

I did try plain H265 and it made no difference to image quality so bumped it back to H265+ The purpose of the images was to gauge the clarity of the image against a known benchmark to see if it was as least as good, same or worse. I deliberately used the same settings in both cams to rule out...
