Need help to choose camera
On my system of 5 cameras, I have 4 turrets and one bullet and all are EXIR units. I like the turrets because of their small size and they are hard to defeat or vandalize. The only reason I got one bullet was because it has two IR emitters (vs one on the turrets) and I need to illuminate a long... -

Need help to choose camera
I second Del Boy's recommendation for the DS-2CD2342WD-I. I have one on my Hikvision NVR system and I am very happy so far (though at first I was not very happy). Since your other cameras are 4MP, the 16:9 aspect ratio of the 2342 should match. -S -

Basic NVR and Cameras IPv4 addresses
In theory, since the NIC runs a local network, any IPv4 address (other than the NVR's address) should work for the NIC. True? -S -

NVR LiveView Issues
OK, your screen indicates that the NVR can be accessed via Web browsing. As for the camera, here is a question for you: What is your NVR internal NIC IPv4 address? The NVR network default gateway address is NOT the same as the internal NIC address (which itself **IS** the camera's gateway... -

hikvision ds-2cd3345-1 wont detect
Agree that if the IR light comes on for about 1 minute or less (correct?) after connecting the cable, then it is likely the cameras is working. Next, let's start with the most simple interface, the one that uses SADP and a poe switch. How is the switch connected to your computer? -S -

NVR LiveView Issues
In case you have not already done so, the NIC (which resides inside the NVR) has its own network to which all the cameras connect to. Consequently, the NIC's IP address (usually xxx.yyy.zzz.001) is the gateway address for all the cameras. Hence, it is entered in each camera as the gateway... -

NVR LiveView Issues
Is the camera plugged into the NVR now? If so, what is your NVR IP setup (both the embedded NIC and the NVR itself)? And do you have a HDD inside the NVR or is the camera stream going to the NAS (through the NVR)? -S -

Trim ring removal Hikvison DS-2CD2335-I
Another approach is to hook up the camera directly to a PC's ethernet port (you also need to provide power) and run SADP. This is a very simple interface that is perfect for liveliness testing of IP cameras. -S -

How to disable IR on Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I ?
To access the cameras, I believe you must enable the virtual host feature of the NVR. See the attached screen where virtual host is enabled (circled in blue). Make also sure that the port is set for 65001. You can also enable the virtual host feature via the NVR's Network menu. -S -

I also have ad DS-7616NI-E2/8P NVR with the same FW release as yours. When you login to the NVR via a web browser, navigate to Configuration > Camera management (see first screen capture below). Click on the IP address of the camera you want to modify (the blue text). This will present you... -

DS-2CD4332FWD-IZHS questions
If you have one of the screws (an it looks like you do), go to a hardware store and try to match that screw with what's in the store, for length, diameter, and thread pitch. I suspect they might be metric, so make sure the store carries metric screws. -S -

@Del Boy: The OP has a DS-7608NI-E2/8P (not DS-7608NI-SE/P) as shown in the photo attached to post #13 of this thread. And given his set of problems, I recommend the FW updates (while I also understand your position regarding FW updates . . .) -S -

Newbie warning- need help
@sonicpips Wow, I'm running out of ideas. A couple of notes/questions: 1. For the gateway address, use 1 (instead of 100) for the last group of digits. It is standard practice, one that I did not follow (but it still works) 2. When you update your NVR firmware, do you use a memory stick in the... -

Thank you Del Boy, I was indeed unaware that earlier versions of the FW did not support 4MP cameras. Thinking about it, I'm not clear how the NVR knows a given camera is 4MP vs 3MP, other than it **MAY** receive more data per frame, though even that is not necessarily true because of compression... -

OK, I think I see the problem: your IPv4 Gateway (second photo) is 192.168.1.1. I believe think it should be **the same** as your NVR NIC's IPv4 address. Further, the camera's IPv4 address should have the same 1st three blocks of numbers as the gateway (your camera is 192.168.254.13, while the... -

I'd like you to go back to SADP. Assuming that it recognizes the camera, double click on the IPv4 address shown in SADP. That should open the camera's web interface, allowing you to login and navigate the camera's menus to -hopefully- see an image. SADP is a simple interface to the camera and if... -

I recommend you do the following steps:: 1. What is your NVR's NIC IPv4 addresses? 2. What are the addresses of all your other cameras attached to the NVR? This is to ensure you pick one for the 4M camera that's not used (in step 5). 3. Connect the 4MP camera to your Windows machine, either... -

I am running the same NVR as yours with 5 cameras, one of which is a 2CD-2342WD-I (a 4 MP turret). So I believe the DS-7608NI-SE/8P supports the 4MP cameras. SADP will not see cameras that are attached to the NVR because they are connected to the NIC which is not visible to SADP. Consequently... -

4MP dismal sub stream resolution
The next question is: is the substream resolution adjustable via firmware? I, for one, think it is because the substream is most likely obtained by binning the pixels in both X and Y directions. For example, the 4MP camera has a max resolution of 2688 x 1520 pixels. Consequently, the substream... -

4MP dismal sub stream resolution
I am using a mix of 3MP (2332) and 4MP (2342) cameras on a 7106 NVR. The two problems with such a mix are evident when displaying -say- a 2 x 2 setup. In 2 x 2, each quadrant is optimized for the 4:3 aspect ratio of the 3MP cameras, so the 16:9 aspect ratio of the 4MP camera looks horizontally... -

Which cameras?
You can't go wrong with any of the cameras recommended in prior posts. I personnally have the 2332 and 2342 and they are working great. Will you connect them to an NVR? If you believe you'll upgrade them in the future, go with western region cameras (and NVR). Some of mine were Chinese and I... -
