    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    Thanks for the quick reply... Doesn't the SSH ability offset that loss? In your opinion, is it likely that I will bump into the 'language mismatch' problem? Is there any way to protect myself against this... that is, are there steps to take that will allow me to undo updates without having...

    I have been away from this forum for some time and it's kind of daunting how much changed in that time! I have a DS-7632N-E2/8p NVR (FW v.3.0.8, build 140825) and 4 cameras running at my cottage - 2 x DS-2CD2032-I (FW - v.5.2.5) - 1 x DS-2CD2132F-IS (FW - v.5.30) - 1 x DS-2CD2432F-IW (FW -...

    Access to NVR via https://??

    I have a Hikvision DS-7632N-E2/8P NVR running firmware V3.0.8 build 140825. When I look at the configuration of the NVR using the browser Network Settings -> Port I see 3 port settings: HTTP port; RTSP port; and Server port. In order to access my NVR remotely, with a browser, means that I am...

    Mixing Chinese and North American NVR and Cameras??

    I am considering buying a second surveillance system (the first is on my vacation home) for my primary home. For the vacation home, I bought the Hikvision DS-7632N-E2/8P NVR from a store on AliExpress and 2 IP cameras. I am now realizing (see previous posts) that my NVR is actually a Chinese...

    Mixing Chinese and North American NVR and Cameras??

    If I had purchased a DS-7616NI-E2/8P NVR from an AliExpress store... are you saying that I would be able to upgrade the firmware because it isn't a hacked Chinese unit? Would the firmware upgrades available on European or US sites work? Would I also be able to purchase on AliExpress any...

    Mixing Chinese and North American NVR and Cameras??

    I asked the AliExpress store the following "My DS-7632N-E2/8P NVR's firmware is V3.0.8 build 140825 Would the DS-2CD2142FWD-IWS English version (4MP) work with my NVR?" Here is the reply: "The NVR DS-7632N-E2/8P is hacked from Chinese version, DS-2CD2132F-IS, DS-2CD2142FWS-IWS and...

    Mixing Chinese and North American NVR and Cameras??

    Thanks for the reply. I asked the AliExpress store "Secure Life Surveillance System" (which I understand to be the old CCTV store) whether they carried the DS-2CD2132F-IS and here is the reply: "We still offer English version DS-2CD2132F-IS, but no Chinese version with multi-language menu...

    Neil... are the cameras you received non-branded Hikvision? Can anyone tell me if 4mp cameras will work with a Hikvision DS-7632N-E2/8P NVR?

    I have a Hikvision DS-7632N-E2/8P NVR (FW V3.0.8 build 140825) and 2 DS-2CD2032 cameras, all bought through AliExpress. Given the issues with accessing branded Hikvision cameras from AliExpress, I am looking to buy some additional cameras in North America. Will I run into any problems...

    Hi there... Here is my setup: Hikvision NVR (DS-7632N-E2/8P) - a PoE NVR with 8 ports Hikvision IP camera (DS-2CD2032-1) After setting up the NVR and camera I realized that I had very little control over the camera in terms of setting things like WDR, Digital Noise Reduction...etc. So I was...

    Looking for help setting up Cottage Surveillance

    Update: I just realized that access to the NVR via a browser, instead of the direct connection (mouse and monitor) provided a means to reset the NVR back to factory settings (Config-->Maintenance-->Default "Restore all parameters to default settings". So now I have the NVR's IP address within...

    Looking for help setting up Cottage Surveillance

    Update: Subsequent to my last post I found that the browser access to the NVR provides different options than the direct connection! There was an option within the Configuration->Maintenance to "Restore all parameters to default settings." I did this and it indeed reset everything. So now I...

    Thanks for the replies... Alastair... I wish I had understood this, which you explained so well, before I started tinkering with things! I have not been successful in changing the PoE interface address back to it's default! I keep getting the same error message "Operation Failed. IPv4...

    Looking for help setting up Cottage Surveillance

    Yes I changed the two IP's to the same address. I recognize that I probably shouldn't have done that but hindsight is 20-20!! (frankly I had no idea what the internal NIC IPv4 address was for!). Yes I am still getting the error message yet the two addresses are no longer the same! The IPv4...

    Looking for help setting up Cottage Surveillance

    fenderman... Thanks for the reply. So as I understand what you wrote, as long as the POE injector conforms to the POE standard (802.3af) then the camera and the injector will figure out the correct amount of power for the camera. Ignore my question on the passive 4 port switch... I now realize...

    Looking for help setting up Cottage Surveillance

    I have another question that I would appreciate help with... I am looking at POE injectors and I see that they vary in output voltage (some are 12V some are 48V)! Do I have to get one that outputs 12V to connect to a Hikvision cam that asks for 12VDC? Does it matter is I use a 48V unit? If I...

    NVR... "I purchased this model ds-7932n-e4". Is that a new series --> DS-79? What are the advantages over previous versions? Is there a language option? Have you received it and set it up? Any issues? One of my concerns with these NVR's is the power requirement... AC 220V! I live in North...

    Difference between Hikvision 76xx and 78xx series

    I see from the links that these NVR's have Australian power supplies which I believe is 230V 50Hz. Does anyone from North America have experience ordering one of these units?

    Mel42... thanks for the info and thanks for the link to the other thread which makes me believe that my config will work (even if there are a few loops to go through!) Am I correct in assuming that in the event of a power failure (or if I simply unplug the unit or a 4 port switch) the NVR (or...

    Looking for help setting up Cottage Surveillance

    Thanks for all the replies... The comment on the advantages of a non-POE NVR are interesting. If I may, a few questions on this topic: - Given that most of the rooms have network cables that terminate in the basement I could get away with a POE NVR for all internal cameras. However for the...
