    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Managed to downgrade using Chrome with the Hik Extension on a Windows 10 PC, thank you. This was a direct connection to the camera not via NVR but same as earlier try with IE and Chrome, so only difference seems to be the Hik Extension installed.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    This would explain it, i just tried to downgrade but it won't let me :(. Guess I will need to wait for the next update on the 1 out of 4 having this higher version. All my cameras are swapped out now, so only have 4 * These Hiks, 3 * Lorex LNB8105x indoors and 2 * Dahua 5442E-Z4E's handling...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Hello, Does anyone have a link to the latest firmware please, I believe I found 5.5.160 build 210209 on this forum before but latest I found on hikvision sites are V5.5.160 build 210108 which implies the one I found before is a month newer, no idea if any updates though, I only notice 1 is...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Good spot, I have been having to re drill at least 2 of the 3 holes as slightly larger base, also been mounting upside down according to base so the holes for wire is side and bottom instead of top, just me being fussy about water ingress. I wish cameras came with those blanking plugs you put...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Hi, I eventually fixed, had someone hold reset button down while I disconnected power and keep it held down while reconnected power and then for about 15 seconds after, that managed to reset it. Then followed procedure to change IP etc again and this time after taking like 15 minutes to reboot...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Hi All, I seem to have just lost one of these. Brand new, installed, went to default up fine, changed up to one I wanted and it never changed and just disappeared of network altogether. I have tried resetting by removing power, holding reset button in for 10 seconds while returning power, the...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Hi, I could turn it more but then I would lose the man cave and get the neighbours the other side more I suspect, unless I am not understanding what you mean of course ?

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Just finished replacing another Lorex with a 4mm one of these, very impressed. I have 2 porch type lights and the one near the camera is causing excessive brightness to the left but I can use 1/120 exposure with max 60% gain and still get pictures like this. :). Might even turn the left porch...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Hi, I have that NVR with a mix of Dahua and the discussed Hikvision cameras. It works fine for basic recording, motion detection etc. I did not find the camera straight away via the NVR find, I had the group be the NVR it's exact IP and then change the Port etc, you also must turn on Onvif on...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    As promised 1/120 Exposure With 80% Gain Hik Vs 1/125 Exposure 80% Gain Dahua. Neither gets a thumbs up from me yet, but it's on the edge :).

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I tried to downgrade and could not on the DS-2CD2087G2-LU. That was when I was thinking new firmware stole the gain control :)

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    These cameras don't do black and white only colour so I to was wondering why day / night, why not just put on day and lower the gain to what is acceptable for both day and night as the setting is max gain, so it will use what it wants up to that setting. Since the gain setting has been found I...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Hi all, this is confirmed, I have 4mm and when changed to Day, Gain Slider is shown at default 100%. The case of the missing gain slider is resolved :).

    Hi ljw2k, another forum member has just messaged me, I am just waiting him to confirm he agrees to the deal. 20 past midnight here but everyone seems still awake, must be the thrill of CCTV :)

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I tried such earlier also, convinced this must be a setting thing as I only was aware of 2 firmwares, the original it came with and the updated one on the post, I have one camera on each and neither has the gain slider.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    I am just trying to keep the calm around here, think I might have to apply for a peace keeper job on this forum at this rate :). On a more positive note, I have just sold to a forum member 1 of the 2 used cameras I had, that means theirs 1 left if anyone else is on the hunt for a bargain...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Everyone wants their gain slider @ljw2k, I have started something here :). Between the forum I am sure we will figure out what has happened to the missing gain sliders :)

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Yes, to be honest I thought the Dahua would go alot brighter but over 80% gain the picture is a mess, it was actually opening the iris up to max that did the most for brightness of picture. TBH it actually shows how good the Hik's are at this, as the picture is not a mess. What we really need...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    @ljw2k would have got of a UK authorised dealer like me, so I can only think of firmware version difference or something he has switched on or off that alters if gain is available ?.

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    As requested Hik Vs Dahua IPC-HFW5442E-Z4E, Hik 1/120, Dahua same but had to up gain to 80% and open Iris right to Max to get reasonable picture in colour..

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    Mmm, we just need a programmer now to find the part where it excludes the 4mm lens in the firmware, remove it and supply another firmware to us or me, as I seem to be the man person buying the 4mm :)

    Dahua CCTV NVR not showing motion parts.

    Hello, from the NVR I fixed it, the main issue seems to be the schedule needs to include motion and also the motion detection zone must be defined for each camera, I simply clicked on alarm - video detection - hit setting next to region, full screen should go red if default, right clicked to...

    Hikvision ColorVu + 4K (DS-2CD2087G2-L)

    OMG, thank you so much for checking. Much appreciated. So it seems I am right, bang out of luck again and should be clearly stated as specs says it with no exclusions. Controlling this could mean I could reduce ghosting as in theory I would keep gain to 60 out of 100 and reduce exposure until...
