    Hik 2385 works great in browser but NVR can't see it

    I was wondering if you had tried using Hikvision's own PCNVR software? I've just ordered a 2CD2385FWD-I but have been using a number of Hikvison camera's with Hikvision PCNVR without issues including the 2CD2335 which is the same product family. I had previously tried GeniusVision but the CPU...

    Hikvision IPC Firmware 5.5.0 - released 24 Sept 2017

    Unless I missed an earlier post I just discovered that Hikvision has recently released firmware 5.5.0 for a number of its IPC camera including the G1 and R6 series which includes the popular 2342WD and the 2335FWD-I. It's been a long time between firmware releases for these cams so I thought I...

    How to set up continuous recording but with event markers

    I too would love to know how you set this up. Since version 2.3.0.5 of iVMS4200 I've been unable to get motion events to show when searching the storage. I use PCNVR4200 on a server and iVMS4200 as the client only. When I look on the server at motion events they show up as expected on the...

    WDR settings not applied during scheduled Day/Night switch

    Thanks for the suggestion. That's exactly what I was thinking I was going to need. Luckily I already have a Windows based file server running 24/7 which now doubles as server for the curl scripts. Works well enough as a short term fix but hopefully it gets sorted out in the next firmware...

    WDR settings not applied during scheduled Day/Night switch

    That would be an interesting development however, it seems in the mean time nothing I've tried has been able to resolve the problem of the WDR not being enabled during the day. Incidentally, has anyone ever managed to get Hikvision tech support to respond to a query? I emailed the tech support...

    WDR settings not applied during scheduled Day/Night switch

    Unfortunately, factory resetting the camera and reloading the parameters didn't work in this case. It must be a bug with the firmware. Rather than try dealing with Hikvision for a solution in the short term I'd rather try to roll back the firmware to 5.3.8 because it was definitely working...

    WDR settings not applied during scheduled Day/Night switch

    I've tried @nayr's suggestion to default the camera. I'm sure I did this after the firmware update from 5.3.8 but it doesn't hurt to try again. I'm positive the scheduled switch was working correctly on 5.3.8. I'm using PCNVR4200 as my NVR. If this does not work I will try to contact...

    WDR settings not applied during scheduled Day/Night switch

    Actually, the camera in question is the only non-chinese Hikvision I've purchased and the only one with which I've had problems. Its a world region camera purchase through aliexpress but the vendor claims to be an authorized distirbution channel. What's the best contact for Hikvision support...

    WDR settings not applied during scheduled Day/Night switch

    I've found a nasty little bug in the 5.4.4. release of the firmware related to the Scheduled Day/Night switch. On 5.3.8 I had my 2CD2342 set up so that during the day WDR was ON and Noise Reduction OFF and then at night WDR was OFF and Noise Reduction was ON. This worked well as the WDR is not...

    Hikvision Temperature Overlay App

    Yeah...I should have mentioned that I can't use Blue Iris....it doesn't suit my needs. The app is all I really want as it provides the simplest and most direct way of getting weather information on my IP camera. I don't think there is too much risk putting my IP cam username and pass into the...

    Hikvision Temperature Overlay App

    I don't know if I'm breaking any posting rules here but I wanted to ask if anyone might have used an app posted on another well known forum that allows current weather conditions to be overlay on the real time image of a Hikvision camera? Unfortunately, the forum where the app was posted is no...

    Hikvision EN R6 Firmware 5.4.4

    A couple of observations since updating to 5.4.4 on my 2CD2342. The MAX / MIN buttons on the intrusion detection were mentioned by @simon247. If you don't see the buttons after updating you will need to update to the latest webcomponents, clear the browser cache, close and reopen the browser...

    Hikvision EN R6 Firmware 5.4.4

    I see on Hikvision's download portal that firmware version 5.4.4 has been released as of today for the R6 series IP cameras which includes the 2CD2342. Sorry can't seem to paste the in link here. Is this finally the firmware release that fixes many of the image issues discussed in this post...
