    Got everything in today

    You can access the English menu of the cam by using "javascript:chooseLanguage("en")" at the cameras login screen, all menus will be English until you log out. Make 2 separate shortcuts, one with the cam address and one with "javascript:chooseLanguage("en")" as the URL. Click on the cam address...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    Keep us posted when the cam comes in! On a side note I purchased one of the cheaper box cams that you posted about earlier (2810F) I opted for the 2mp version 2820F. It produces a good picture but lacks the processing power of the 4000 series and does not have all the smart features (it does...

    Looking for help setting up Cottage Surveillance

    "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 garage (which I suspect doesn't have network wiring) and those hanging off the outside of the building this could be problematic! Is it...

    Looking for help setting up Cottage Surveillance

    "Assuming that I can receive alerts / notifications will I know which camera is sending the alert?" Yes the email subject will show the camera name. "Does the alert come from the NVR or the camera?" It can come from ether depending on how you set it up, I prefer the camera it gives me a better...

    Looking for help setting up Cottage Surveillance

    "Any comments on the above choices? (I recognize that I am providing limited information but any comments should help)" The DS-7816N-E2 is a good NVR you will not be disappointed, I prefer non POE, with built in POE you will have to run all cables from the cam to the NVR, I run two 4 port...

    I have been using 5.1.6 on a couple of 2332's for a while with 2~3 line detections enabled with no issues, cuts way down on the false motion detections. For anyone concerned about playing with the firmware and there cam changing to all chinese dont despair you can easily access english menu by...

    Setup options for remote viewing?

    Ok so live is ok the problem is with recorded footage, I believe your only option is going to be to record the sub stream, in the NVR menu under "Record" "Parameters" "Video Stream"=Substream

    Setup options for remote viewing?

    Are you connecting to the cameras sub stream with your phone? That resolution, fps and bit rate is to high for viewing with your phone over the internet, it looks as if you are connected to the main stream. The NVR should be recording from the main stream and you should connect remotely through...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    I do not think it would be possible for the Hikvision software to control that adapter, the Hikvision camera software will only communicate with a camera that has RS485. Blue Iris may work with that adapter and give you remote access, never tried it but it may work. You could control the PTZ...

    Difference between Hikvision 76xx and 78xx series

    I upgraded from a 7608NI-SE to the 7816N-E2 (both non-POE), and could not be happier, the 7816 was cheaper ($178). Main reason was for more bandwidth I can now run all 7 cams at full quality, also the added VCA alarm function enables the smart features like line crossing, face detection and...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    Total weight of the cam and housing is probably around 3-4 pounds; I try and mount it in the center of the housing to keep the weight even. Been running the pan only version for about a year and a half and no issues, it is mounted outside under the roof overhang so it is pretty well protected...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    In my setup I currently have 2 PT mounts (about to add a 3rd), I did not have to set each mounts ID they are all #1 (default), The reason being that each individual cam communicates to the PT mount not the NVR. When using the PTZ controls through the NVR it communicates to the cam which then...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    They do not come with a lens you have to purchase separately, yes manual focus/zoom, looked at some MP zoom lens but the cost is high, at that point you could just get a real PTZ cam. I use a cheap 2332 4mm as sort of a spotting cam and the PT cam for close up's. 4012F $163...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    K I pulled down my setup from the back yard, this is the older pan only version of the mount, the setup and connections are the same as the PT version. This is it all stuffed in the housing Completed

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    The Hik box cam is basically a standard box cam, they take CS-type lens mount and fit in standard CCTV camera housing. I do not know the weight spec for the mount but they are not heavy duty, I use plastic outdoor housing’s to try and keep the weight down and mount the housing as close to the...

    24hr clinic ip cam monitoring

    I have had good results with this extender running to 2 separate monitors, main monitor runs off the PC output of NVR, the extender connects to HDMI and runs to monitors in the bedroom and living room. Tried the android thing and did not like the picture quality and the added load on the...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    Aliexpress, got it about 4 months ago, the cheapest I see it now is $163, of coarse you will also need a lens and an enclosure if you plan on mounting it outside. You can get true WDR for $100 more, other options include auto back focus and P iris these will cost more. They also have 2 & 3 MP...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    Presets work fine with the Hik cams with no drift at all, goes to the same spot everytime, patrol and pattern do not work. One thing that does work is my NVR has VCA alarm with PTZ linking, I have two Hik 2332 (4mm) that covers a wide view of the front yard and set line crossing detection at...

    Adding Pan/Tilt Device to Hik 2032

    The cam has an RS485 connection in the back, the pan tilt mount plugs into this connection and it is controlled by the cam through the network. No separate cable needed.

    What type of IR light works best with DS-2CD2432F-IW? 940nm?

    I have had great results with the CMVision Illuminators (IR40, 56, 110), all 3 have been running over 2 years and not a single burnt out LED. Try and mount it a couple feet away from the camera, they attract a lot of bugs.

    Hikvision 7608NI and 8 cams?

    1. If you use motion detection you should get well over a week, I have one 2tb drive with 6 cams and have over 2 months with less than half the drive used up. Of course it depends on how much motion you pick up, quality settings etc. Not sure how long I would get with constant recording as I...
