    Microphone recomendations?

    hey, thanks! Never heard of a POE splitter, sounds like you're suggesting it can connect ito the same ethernet port as the camera, so not using the phono audio input, if so that would be fantastic! I will have a look at those threads, thanks very much

    Microphone recomendations?

    I have a Hikvision NXI 16 channel Acusense NVR. I have 9 cameras hooked up but none do audio. I notice there's an audio in port on the back of the NVR, but only one. I would like at least one good quality outdoor microphone, ideally two. can anyone recommend something? Also I wondered if anyone...

    Anyone tried VMS software?

    Well I give up!! I have spent all day and no matter what I try, I can't get VMS software to view or even access the NVR. I know the settings are correct so I am stumped. If i enter 192.168.1.69 in my browser, I get the NVR login. If I enter that in VMS, it just says "offline". Such a shame as...

    Anyone tried VMS software?

    Neat! In that case yes I watched that video but it's a different version of the software to mine. Mine doesn't have the ONVIF selectable. I will see if I can find a version with that option.

    Anyone tried VMS software?

    Sorry, no idea what you mean there. What is a "concord" (if not an airplane :) ) Will try that before giving up. thanks

    Anyone tried VMS software?

    Thanks Tony. Unfortunately my version of VMS (Mac latest one I can get) doesn't offer the choice of HK (which I assume means Hik) nor Onvif. I dont have Onvif turned on in my NVR. Not sure what that's for really so I left it off. But either way I don't think my VMS can find the cameras. Such a...

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    That's strange. Firefox is ticked but I can't view any camera feeds in any Firefox tab, it just says "missing plugin".

    Silly Question Alert......

    I hesitate to ask this, but here goes..... I am first time user of a PTZ (8236i AELW Hikvision). I was going to set up patrols so it scans around the property covering different areas. I wasn't sure what to do and thought that ideally I would like it to be constantly scanning around, only...

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    Thanks, great ideas. But I am able to access the cameras fine over the LAN now I enabled Virtual Host (it basically does what you describe but witha tick box rather than hoisting my computer over to the workshop where the NVR is!). The problem is just browser. I didn't know that about Chrome. I...

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    Thanks. my NVR is Acusense yes, and it's up to date on firmware. But iVMS isn't an option (I dont think) because it can't access the cameras directly, only the NVR. The only reason I need to access the cameras direct is to access their settings which I can't get to through the NVR. I am using...

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    Just setting up my Hikvision NXI NVR. I have loads of computers but none running windows. I know it has always been the case that IE is needed for logging into Hikvision cameras/NVRs, but I thought i read somewhere that Firefox can now be used. Can anyone confirm if this is true? I have tried...

    Anyone tried VMS software?

    PS, do you know of any other common ports I can try? I find it really odd that it can't connect when all browsers can!

    Anyone tried VMS software?

    Thanks. 554 - still times out. weird. I don't use internet explorer and not sussed how to get cameras to display in firefox yet. I am not streaming the NVR over the internet, only the LAN, which should work better. I definitely have the right address/IP because I can get into it in Firefox...

    Strange problem with Hikvision NVR

    Interesting, the last part of that post says "For anyone interested in purchasing a Hikvision NVR who might be a little concerned, we currently like to recommend the newer -I(x) series of Hikvision NVRs as they have much greater hardware specifications which doesn't suffer from the above issue...

    Anyone tried VMS software?

    P.S. I never know what port number to enter. It defaults to that 34567, so i Tried that and 80. any suggestions for others to try would be welcome too. Not a genius with this stuff me. ! Oh and also I found this page which shows VMS software. It's a really good bit of kit, basic, but efficient...

    Strange problem with Hikvision NVR

    Not too sure what you mean there. I haven't had time to work through the system yet and get used to it. I can try selecting sub stream but not sure if that's the cause, do you have experience of this or are you just guessing to offer suggestions? We have just tried to isolate the problem by...

    Anyone tried VMS software?

    I have used VMS software from Polyvision for many years with my older Annke CCTV system. VMS — VMS ПО под ОС Windows / Windows / ПО | Polyvision.ru - оборудование для видеонаблюдения (use Google Chrome to get translated page). The software would be considered extremely basic compared to Blue...

    Strange problem with Hikvision NVR

    I have my shiny new Hikvision DS-7616NXI-I2/16P/4S all plugged in. I connected 4 or 5 cameras when it first arrived, making all the ethernet cables myself with shielded solid copper Cat5E cables. It worked nicely, although I didn't get round to setting up any alerts or acusense stuff etc. I just...

    Which ethernet cable would be best ?

    hahaha. thanks. except I didn't :D I bought shielded connectors which are supposed to be for both stranded and solid conductors. are they F**K! Glad I took advice on here to get a tester! Fail!! I then used plastic non shielded connectors and that worked. So I have ordered more shielded ones (i...

    Which ethernet cable would be best ?

    Well guess who just made his first Cat5E patch cable :D Just a trial run. Before I dive in making tons more for this new NXI Acusense DVR, could someone please confirm the wiring order below which I am going to use for all crimps..... Thanks

    Thanks, that's what i hoped to hear! Yes I have seen the different types, I am ordering ones for solid wire. Thanks again

    Which ethernet cable would be best ?

    I am ordering cat5e shielded cable with solid conductors. The company I am ordering from KEEP saying you shouldn't crimp solid copper, only stranded. What are the opinions here on this? Surely with care and attention to detail, plus a continuity test, it should be fine? Do people here crimp...
