    Hikvision's new 4MP 2-series

    I bought mine from a "Fulfilled By Amazon" vendor that quoted as a USA version. Then checked the serial numbers. They are never USA versions but rather "Rest of World" or "Other" anyway which are "usually" up-gradable with Hikvision Europe firmware. I tried firmware upgrades immediately upon...

    Firmware 5.4.x working with HikVision on bugs

    This is good news, I've had nothing but problems with V3.0.6.1 on my Mac.

    Hik NVR Auto-Logoff in Web Interface?

    What's frustrating is that I haven't changed any setting at all. The individual cameras never log out.

    Hik NVR Auto-Logoff in Web Interface?

    Thanks Alastair, that setting is set to "Never" on my NVR.

    Hik NVR Auto-Logoff in Web Interface?

    Logins to my DS-7608NI-I2/8P via Safari on my Mac used to stay logged in until I quit the browser. Now, I guess since I updated to V3.4.82 build 160818, I get logged out after about five minutes. It could be unrelated to the firmware upgrade, though. I can find no setting anywhere to fix this...

    GMAIL Failure? Anyone Else?

    There's currently no complete solution that works for everybody's NVR. If I had to read the whole thread you do too. :) The SendGrid solution worked for me. Have fun.

    DS-7608NI-SE on Mac?

    BTW, don't expect any other Hikvision NVR you get to work any better on Safari on your Mac! The plugin sukz balz and has for a year.

    DS-7608NI-SE on Mac?

    For me my DS-7608NI-I2/8P works fine, it's Hikvision's software and firmware that's an "absolute crock of sh***e".

    DS-7608NI-SE on Mac?

    Don't feel too bad, no version of their plugin ever worked better than barely on either my current DS-7608NI-I2/8P or my previously owned DS-7604NI-E1/4P. I think that if I were in your shoes I might set up a stripped down Windows VM in VirtualBox. I have one running with Win7 and it works...

    DS-7608NI-SE on Mac?

    I don't think the model of the NVR matters. Safari is currently the only "supported" browser for MacOS. For me the Hikvision plugin for Safari works once, for awhile, then takes a dump until I restart the Mac. Oddly, it will work, for awhile, for other users on the same machine. I've...

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    That does make sense. I guess the answer is that you'll never know for sure what you have until an update breaks it! :sad2:

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    My NVR reports "english" when I query this. Is that the "region code" = "01 <- EN/Multi-language" or does it mean something else?

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    From someone on this forum smarter than myself: "There is confusion in forums regarding serial numbers and region codes. Here is now you read HIK serial numbers: Example for a DVR: DS-7608NI-E2/8P0820160211AAWR123456789WCVU (IP camera serials are similar) DS-7608NI-E2/8P <- model name 08...

    HikVision DS-2CD2032-I Firmware

    I made the same mistake with my first cam - return it to Amazon ASAP. Then come back here and research reputable vendors.

    HikVision and Powerline Adapter help please! (And Synology)

    Wouldn't using "Powerline C" to receive both "Powerline A" and "Powerline B" reduce the already limited bandwidth by half? One more Powerline = full bandwidth available for both cams? I've always thought that the best practice was one set of Powerline for each cam if you're running high MP...

    Scheduled Day/Night Switch Turns Off WDR?

    Thanks, thought so. Also, in the past I've really had trouble resetting these cams. I unplug the POE cable, press and hold the reset button, plug the POE cable back in while holding the button for 10 seconds, but it almost never seems to work. Is there any trick to this? Thanks again!

    HikVision and Powerline Adapter help please! (And Synology)

    HI karansaraf - Downstream my setup is Camera->Cat6->POE Injector->Cat6->PowerlineA->PowerlineB->Cat6->Hik NVR W/POE->Cat6->Router. Note that the Netgear 1200's have a pass-through power plug that I used to plug the POE injector into, made it easy. Also note that you need higher voltage...

    Scheduled Day/Night Switch Turns Off WDR?

    Thanks nayer - If I do the reset can do you suggest I redo the settings manually or can I reload saved parameters? As an aside, both cams are on 3.4.0. Thanks for your help.

    HikVision and Powerline Adapter help please! (And Synology)

    I've been successfully using a pair of Netgear Powerline 1200's with a Hik 4MP at 2688*1520 and 20 fps for about six months now. The "receiving" unit shows a red light implying a slow connection but it appears to still be more than enough bandwidth for the one cam.

    Scheduled Day/Night Switch Turns Off WDR?

    I finally have my daytime WDR settings for my three cams set as I like them. I also have scheduled Day/Night switch enabled. WDR is set to be off at night. So, at the end of the day WDR is where I like it, the cams switch to night, then the next morning when the cams switch to Day WDR does not...

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    Isn't it by design that the HD that is actively recording isn't sleeping while the second drive that's awaiting overwrite sleeps?

    Multiple locations, one NVR?

    I'd be intrigued to hear how that would work. Without very fast upload speeds at the remote sites I'd think you'd still be constrained to recording the sub-stream only, which would function the same as any other remote camera setup. Are the other locations networked together in some other manner?

    Updated NVR firmware published - NVR_78_79_EXX_V3.4.80_160718.zip

    What NVR do you have? I'd love to get just one, full-sized image instead of those three teensy-weensy ones!

    Hikvision NVR Update Path

    I'm pretty sure that the "RR" connotes "other" for region. All I can tell you is that I have had two "RR" NVR's that successfully updated with multi-language firmware from Hikvision Europe's site. Firmware updates with Hikvision equipment is always fraught with peril and there is always a risk...

    Hikvision DS-7608 NI-E2/8P & DS-2CD2042WD-I ENDLESS ISSUES

    But you can change the resolution to 2688 X 1520 say, and still view the feed or the footage, although in actual 1080P because of the monitor's max, right? I'm confused...

    Hikvision DS-7608 NI-E2/8P & DS-2CD2042WD-I ENDLESS ISSUES

    Very strange that you can't change the resolution hooked up directly to the NVR. Does it say that it's an unsupported resolution or that the connection failed?
