    Ds-7608ni-e2 new firmware v3.4.2

    Wise words which of course I didn't listen to! https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/9549-Upgrading-beyond-3-4-0-on-a-Chinese-%28lang-2%29-HV-NVR Looks like I'm stuck at 3.4.0 for now.

    Upgrading beyond 3.4.0 on a Chinese (lang 2) HV NVR

    I just tried to backup the NVR config to a USB stick via the NVR GUI. The file was written (~4MB) but when I try to import it via the NVR GUI I get the error, "language mismatch." So I can't save the config which is a real bummer. I wanted to try 3.4.1 to fix the email issues but if it...

    Upgrading beyond 3.4.0 on a Chinese (lang 2) HV NVR

    I want to share my observation in case it helps anyone. Chinese NVR, DS-7816N-E1 (ostensibly the same hardware as the 76xxNI-Ex but made for China only). Unit came with 3.0.10 in English from AliExpress. Using the web GUI I successfully upgraded to 3.3.2, 3.3.4, and finally 3.4.0 (all...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2332(D)-I replacement DS-2CD2335(D)-I

    I just received a 2335 IPC purchased from eBay (shipped from China) with the sticker indicating v5.3.5 but the installed FW was v5.3.6 build 151221. Serial # contained AACH (China region only). Login was ML defaulting to English. No language mismatch with the 78xxN-Ex (same as 76xxNI-Ex) NVR...

    Ds-7608ni-e2 new firmware v3.4.2

    Has anyone applied this update to a DS-78xxN-E1/E2? The 78xx series is the Chinese market only NVR and is identical to the DS-76xxNI-E1/E2. I'm running 3.4.0 build 150929 and the GUI is English only. I don't want to apply the update and then watch the NVR switch to Chinese.

    Problems with DS-2CD2732F-ISw - need help

    Have you set a static IP address to the camera vs. DHCP? If not, try using a static IP address on you network for the camera. Are you using wireless? If yes, try it wired to see if the issue is your wireless. If you no longer drop connection, try a different wireless access point/router. I...

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    I had a HNR30P8 NVR for a while and it had no problems to see v5.2.5 cameras but I never tried anything higher. I was running V3.0.8_150209 on the NVR. I no longer have that NVR. What FW rev are you running? I think you should first make sure the camera's successfully upgraded and is...

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    1. You'll be able to see all your camera's through the NVR interface (i.e. at the NVR's single 192.168.1.xxx IP address). You'll also be able to log into each camera on the LAN side individually at their assigned IP addresses as well. Some NVRs let you log into the camera's web interface...

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    Having the POE switch and cameras on the LAN port will still allow you to see all the cameras. You cannot use a non-POE port for LAN/PC access, keep the PC on the LAN side. When I had a 7608N-E with integrated POE switch I had cameras on the integrated POE switch and cameras on the LAN side...

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    If you connect the extra 8 cameras via the POE switch to the LAN/WAN port (the port you use to connect to your home LAN) are you not able to see the cameras? I would think you should. 60W should be fine but you can always disconnect one or two cameras and use a cheap individual injector. I...

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    You might just want to use a POE power injector for the 8 non-POE camera interfaces. Something like this http://www.wifiqos.com/

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    It may be that the 8 dedicated non-POE camera Ethernet interfaces on the NVR have been restricted to see only one camera. I'm not sure how or why they'd do that but that may be the case. You can easily test this by plugging in your POE switch into the one of the non-POE camera ports and see if...

    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    Keep the exposure a 1/50 but make sure you've set the Digital Noise Reduction to 50 (or less). If DNR is much above 50 you'll get a lot of motion blur.

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    My bet is the switch's power brick die before the switch in the heat. You may be able to find a replacement power brick cheaper, or one that's rated for higher power which may last longer, if ever needed should yours fail. The NVR you purchased has PoE ports but I guess you're not using them...

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    I use a gigabit Ethernet downstream connection from the NVR (i.e., to the router/cable modem).

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    The math is in the compression, you get to choose the max bitrate per camera, the higher the bitrate, the better the image quality. For a 100Mbps 16-channel NVR, if you use all 16-channels you have 100/16 or roughly 6.25 Mbps per camera. 3MP cameras provide a good quality H.264 encoded video...

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    Cat5 cable is fine for the cameras at 100Mbps speeds. If you ever think you'll reuse the wiring for gigabit, you need cat5e. Cat6 is not needed. As for the attic installation, the heat will shorten the life of the switches but you can give it a whirl, maybe you'll get a few years out of them...

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    Put the POE switches on the NVR rather than the router. There's no reason to have camera traffic on your main network. The NVR should have a "virtual host" mode that will allow you to log into each camera upstream from the NVR. I used the Gigabit version of this router...

    New Hikvision Firmware 3.4.0 Released! 7600NI-E1(E2) 05/11/2015

    Just an FYI in case it helps anyone: I have a 7816N-E1 (same hardware as the 76xxNI-E1/E2) that has AARR in its serial number. I have 10 cams, one Foscam using ONVIF and 9 HV cams using the HV protocol that are either mtd language flag hacked to 1 (English) or came from China in English but...

    Swann 16 Channel (8 PoE Ports / 8 Non-PoE Ports) NVR

    There's no benefit to the end user that I can think of for having the 8 non-POE Ethernet ports being non-POE. The benefit is to the manufacturer as they can use a lower wattage power supply. You can add a POE switch to a non-POE port to add the remaining 8 cameras if you want.

    Le new Hikvision 4MP" DS-2CD3345-I Turret

    If the camera is to be mounted with a hole behind it for its connector (as in your picture) and high enough away from the ground that it cannot be reached by someone wanting to steal it, then the plastic mount is probably adequate. Keep in mind that if the camera is mounted say under a soffit...

    HIKVISION NVR 7608NI SE/P playback issue

    The dropped frame issue has disappeared ever since I upgraded the my 7816N-E1 (same hardware as the 7616NI-E1/E2) firmware from v3.0.10 to v3.3.4. I have all my 10 cams set to constant bit rate, full frame rate, medium encode quality, and a 6144Mbps stream rate. The issue is no longer there...

    Le new Hikvision 4MP" DS-2CD3345-I Turret

    I swapped out a 2332 for a 3335 for a few days but ended up sticking with the 2332. The 3335 provided a better daytime image, as you would expect with its higher pixel count, but was horrible for night movement. Just a slow walk created ghosting so bad that you couldn't make out a face 10 feet...

    HikVision – Difference Between DS-2CD2335-I and DS-2CD2332-I

    Your downgrader won't work on a 2335? I needed to use it once on a 2332 that came with 5.3.0 in Chinese only and it worked great (thanks!). The rest of my cams I used the mtd hack as they were originally 5.2.8 or older. As far as I know (for 2xx2): If the cam was originally 5.2.5 or 5.2.8...

    HikVision – Difference Between DS-2CD2335-I and DS-2CD2332-I

    It is good to know that the 3335 camera retains the excellent metal mount. Maybe the 50/60Hz thing is a firmware only issue? You could have tried whoslooking's v5.2.5 downgrader. I did try smart ir on and off on the 3335 but the motion blur was horrible standing only 15 feet from the camera...

    HikVision – Difference Between DS-2CD2335-I and DS-2CD2332-I

    I wasn't implying that only China uses 50Hz, I know a great many countries do. Just that since the 3335 appears to be a China only camera, there would be no need for 60Hz support. Countries that also use 50Hz just luck out! As a side note, I'm not impressed with the 3335 4MP camera. Day...
