Nightvision blindspots from other IP cameras
If strategically turning off the IR on some cameras does not produce acceptable results, another approach might be to purchase some IR illuminators to cover the areas of interest with IR light. This way you may be able to turn the IR off on all your cams. Its some extra expense, but the... -

Hikvision Firmware Versions Multiple Language or English Only 5.2.0 and 5.2.3
Okay. I have a question about recent Hikvision camera firmware versions and whether there is a difference between multiple language and English versions. Specifically, are there multiple variants of version 5.2.0 (multiple language variant and English variant)? Same question for version 5.2.3... -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
Thanks grasshopper. Looks like your's is working properly. Everyone that has replied on this forum, has shown that the text overlays work on their cameras. I am having trouble understanding what is different with my cameras versus other's on this forum. Can you share your camera serial... -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
It was suggested privately to me that I should try restoring all the camera parameters back to default settings. I tried this on one of my cameras. (For reference, both of my cameras are at firmware version 5.2.3) After restoring all parameters to default and rebooting, I used SADP to find the... -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
hereu Thank you for your post. I see your firmware version is 5.2.3. That is the firmware on my cameras, but they do not behave the same. You mention your equipment is UK spec and I am wondering if the camera region has something to do with the behavior of the text overlays. I have looked... -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
Thanks to DaveP and alastairstevenson. I didn't mean to sound distrustful. I notice that DaveP's configuration page looks a little different than mine which is interesting, but I'm not sure what it means. I really like DaveP's choice of text for demonstration purposes and I did watch the... -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
Okay. I heard from Ryan at Nelly's Security where I purchased my cameras. He tried setting up multiple text overlays on a couple of their cameras. He could only get one text overlay to show up in the live view (same problem I am experiencing). His cameras and mine are all US versions. Ryan... -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
fenderman Thanks for this suggestion. I have tried different browsers (IE 11, IE 8, and the latest Google Chrome). Maybe I should try Firefox, too. I have even tried writing the text overlay configuration to the camera using an xml file named hiktextoverlay.xml and cURL in a batch script: curl... -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
I have tried saving and saving and then saving again, hoping for a different result each time - to no avail. I have gone to the live view to confirm and the live view only displays one of the overlays regardless of how many have been configured (and saved). I have even tried saving and then... -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
I've done some more tinkering. I'm not sure what this means, but it looks like my camera is only allowing one text overlay to be active regardless of how many of them are configured to be active. See the screenshots below. -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
Very interesting. My 2032-I cams were both at firmware version 5.2.0 when I noticed the problem with overlays 2, 3, and 4. I upgraded to 5.2.3 hoping it would fix the problem. It didn't. Looks like my overlays have gone the way of the Norwegian Blue!:) I hope to hear from others. I'm really... -

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Text Overlay (Problem with Overlays 2, 3, and 4)
I have two Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I cameras. Both have firmware revision 5.2.3. I am able to configure text overlay 1 at Advanced Configuration>Image>Text Overlay on the camera's web page. This text overlay works fine using the camera's web page to configure it. I am also able to write the local...
