    Hikvison Camera Recording in both NAS and NVR

    Why not record the main stream to the NAS as well? Sub stream is meant for remote viewing when bandwidth is an issue. Add the NAS to the NVR as a network drive, then set the NAS to redundant record

    Best way to delete a camera- POE NVR

    No need to turn off the NVR. I wouldn't say "port determines IP"... its just a network switch. (ok, managed switch) but still, that doesn't determine anything. The channels are NOT assigned to ports. Any unused channel that is set to "plug and play" could grab onto that new camera regardless of...

    DS-7604NI-K1 / 4P is there new 4.0 firmware

    I wouldn't say "no support" or "high and dry"... the K1 is a lower end series which doesn't have the hardware resources to run the newer V4. Also, there has been updates to V3 since V4 came out, so you can't say they aren't supporting you... and 3.4.103 is perfectly stable from my experience

    Need Help: HIKVISION NVR DS-7616NI-E2/16P POE PORTS

    Looks like you have an older firmware. I don’t recall if the option was buried somewhere else, but if you have a monitor hooked up to the NVR I know you can check that locally

    I can not see the HikVision Camera after installing the plugin on Microsoft Edge

    I have wondered this myself. Why are they so slow to keep up with modern times? There is so much competition these days with cameras. This would never happen if they were located here in Silicon Valley. Software is key, and Hikvision is not keeping up!

    HikVision max bitrate keeps changing

    It’s best to change the setting on the NVR. Also, when setting the bitrate on the NVR, hit the drop down for stream type, and select “event”. Then set the bitrate there as well. That may be where your lower bitrate setting is hiding

    I can not see the HikVision Camera after installing the plugin on Microsoft Edge

    Hikvision NVR V4+ will work without a plug-in. It’s been a bit buggy, but getting better with each update. That being said, I personally still use IE with plug in. (That’s the most stable and full featured way) Which NVR model are You using? There’s a chance it doesn’t support V4 anyways

    Hikvision NVR and FreeBSD NFS/NAS setup (with ZFS)

    Are you using the NAS drive as an extension of the NVR, or for “redundant” recording? Have you tried to play back footage on the NVR yet? I set up a NAS a while back, and set it to redundant so that I would have footage in the event the NVR was ever stolen. I found that the playback feature...

    WD Purple Questions

    1: yes most NVR’s are capable of notifying the owner of a drive failure. (Among other conditions) 2: this argument is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a long time! I can’t believe someone is advising AGAINST multiple drives. You need more storage? Get more drives! 3: to the OP, start...

    video stuttering and ghosting. DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P

    Assuming your experience the issue while there’s motion in the picture (you mentioned “ghosting”) check what your settings are for “event”. Refer to the pic you posted, hit the drop down menu for “stream type” then select “event” those are your settings while there’s motion in the picture.

    Where did my Dahua NVR GUI access go?

    I would like to say that is actually NOT a good idea to set a static IP that is within your DHCP range. You want to do the exact opposite, and set your devices with static IP’s to something OUTSIDE the DHCP range. So if your range is .1-.254 then set the static IP to .255 or higher. I promise...

    Firmware problem with DS-7616NI-I2/16P

    First, what version was the firmware before the upgrade? Hikvision advises when upgrading to V4, that you are currently at a certain level or higher. Second, I have experienced the multi user issue when upgrading in the past. I was able to overcome it. If you look at the list of users, at the...
