    Capture on Hikvision NVR. Working on 7600 also?

    Well either Hikvision don't have a clue about what their products do or there is something that I don't get.. After playing around and setting on the "Capture Schedule" an "Event" for all weekdays, changing some "Capture Parameters" and enabling some Basic and/or Smart events, it looks like this...

    Record Schedule, what is that? (Hikvision)

    No wonder why a company such Hikvision has such a modern technology in low price but with the worst documentation ever.. It is chinese..

    Line crossing event from camera to trigger NVR recording of event

    I wonder why hikvision products are so complicated.. Different options on the camera than the NVR, more setting on the one, less on the other, different description for the same things.. Like 2 different companies make them and try to match them together.. Anyway, with some mix and match from...

    Hello, I am new to the Hikvision NVRs and since I finally managed to make the cameras have internet access, send e-mails and push notifications on various events, I now want to know how can I record on the HDD of the NVR when such an event is triggered. I have set up the line crossing event...

    How to make camera have access to the internet through NVR POE and send e-mails from the camera?

    After 2 hours of testing which involved packet sniffing, a setup of an SMTP dummy server on my laptop and a real SMTP with TLS that I could use to debug I found that there is nothing wrong with the camera or the NVR.. I don't know if I should laugh or cry.. The problem is the ports that the...

    How to make camera have access to the internet through NVR POE and send e-mails from the camera?

    But I try to send e-mail directly from the camera, not through the NVR's e-mail function.. Aren't these 2 separate functions? As for the camera, we made sure it is connected to the internet and the dns resolution is working since the NTP test was successful with a domain name. I also tried to...

    How to make camera have access to the internet through NVR POE and send e-mails from the camera?

    Having DNS as 192.168.0.1 would be no problem if the NVR system works as designed, it would just lookup the domain name on 192.168.0.1.. The problem is not domain resolution as with IP on the NTP it still fails.

    DS-7608NI-I2 (V3.3.7 build 151102) not sending e-mails

    I was thinking that there might be something with the firmware but I generally tend not to update something that is stable and working.. The problem now is that the emails are not working but I read that some people have random restarts and other problems with the latest firmware (which I don't...

    DS-7608NI-I2 (V3.3.7 build 151102) not sending e-mails

    DS-7608NI-I2 (V3.3.7 build 151102) not sending e-mails

    Yes Keyboard you are right, there is a test button from the NVR GUI but it says "Failed to send test email, please check the parameters or network status". So again something is wrong with the mails function. The NVR obviously has access to the internet since, so what else might be the problem?
