    CCTV NVR on solar?

    Usually if you are using a mobile provider such as AT&T is that they will not let you open ports. Best thing to do is to use the cloud access on the Hikvision. That way if the IP address changes then you are still able to view your cameras because the NVR will update the IP address with the...

    CCTV NVR on solar?

    Hikvision NVR itself will use around 15 watts of power. Each camera depending on which models you choose will use about 4-9 watts for the most basic camera. PTZ's will use way more. 20-60 watts depending on model. If you are streaming video then of course it will use alot of data. Each...

    IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED - Worth it?

    I have read the reviews on this. The question being the added feature of SMD which will be implemented. This camera doesn't have it now. Camera just has the basic IVS with face detection, perimeter protection, etc but not true SMD. So this camera with SMD be a better option than the...

    IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED - Worth it?

    Anybody have any feedback on this camera? IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED So 24/7 NightColor camera. My Dahua rep was telling me that they will have a new firmware coming out for this in the next couple months which they add SMD feature to it so it sounds enticing.

    Thermal Cameras

    Hikvision version is around $5000. No blackbody needed. Without blackbody will get accuracy of 0.5 degrees C. With blackbody then will get 0.1 degrees C. FDA only requires 0.5 degrees. From what I see. $5000 for camera, tripod and tripod adapter. Will need either a Hikvision NVR or a...

    Thermal Cameras

    Does it seem like a lot of businesses are getting thermal cameras now for "fever" detection? I see that the Hikvision version has DeepInView (AI) and can pinpoint the temperature of a person's forehead at a rate of 30 people at a time. Temperature accuracy is at 0.5 degrees Celsius (0.9...

    Help need in deleting the IP Camera's on a Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2/8P

    You will not be able to delete the camera. D1-D8 is actually the physical ports of the unit's POE port. You can click on the edit button and change it back to "plug and play". That way it will automatically set an IP address to the cameras plugged into the internal POE and use the password of...

    Hard Drive Priorities

    I know for the Hikvision units it will support over what is listed in the spec sheets. Reason is because at the time the unit came out the larger size was not readily available and so the spec sheet just shows the max that it was tested with. I have tried larger HDD's than what is listed in...

    With a 16 channel Hikvision NVR, is it possible to get a direct RTSP stream of one of the cameras?

    Yes. That is possible. Use this format. RTSP without Authentication (NVR/DVR/IPC/Encoder) rtsp:/<IP address of device>:<RTSP port>/Streaming/channels/<channel number><stream number> NOTE: <stream number> represents main stream (01), or the sub stream (02) Example...

    AI/Active Detterence false alarms

    Hikvision and their OEM products would be harder. Yes.... if you were to use Hikvision firmware with Hikvision products or Hikvision OEM firmware on Hikvision OEM then of course it is easy to update. The issue is if you have a Hikvision OEM product and you were wanting to put a Hikvision...

    AI/Active Detterence false alarms

    I have used both the Dahua and the Hikvision. The Dahua line is going to be a cheaper price and you are able to update the firmware easily even if you get an OEM camera with Dahua firmware. Hikvision is roughly 20% more expensive and will not be as easy to update. In my opinion the Hikvision...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    So the doorbell is going to the Hik-Connect server? I thought for the OEM's it will show a server of dev.guardingvision.com instead of the Hikconnect one?

    Hikvision - Motion detect & many false alarm

    Motion detection is triggered by changes in color to the pixels so any one of the dots in the picture changing colors will set it off. Using intrusion or line crossing will reduce false alarms. If using intrusion still gives false alarms then raise the threshold or lower the sensitivity...

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    Yes. NVR's 4.1.61 and up Cameras 5.5.81 and up Anything older than that is out of luck. Will need to use IE or anything that supports NPAPI.

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    There are other browsers that work if you don't want to use those browsers. This would be Palemoon or Sea Monkey. Here is the chart for what works and what doesn't depending on browser from a Hikvision bulletin.

    Hikvision Remote Access via Web Browser is Gone...

    If are using Hik-Connect to access your cameras and opened the ports on your router to so you would be able to get a faster connection and give you access to configuration settings. First I would go into your recorder and check to make sure Hik-Connect is showing online. It is under...

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    If the cameras are plugged into the POE ports on the NVR then yes it is a little hard to access because that internal POE is on a different network than the router. Logging into the NVR and go under camera management is a possibility to select the cameras and go into the login for the cameras...

    Standalone camera - noob questions

    If pixels are not changing then it doesn't add anything and reuses the previous frame. Any pixel that changed then that is basically the only thing that is "saved". It basically just uses what it needs to save the video. It will do everything in the background so you would not know that it is...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    Hikvision doesn't have this doorbell. They were going to release it one and half years ago but in the end it didn't show up. They ended up selling it as an EZViz model. If you want firmware then you may check there. Since this is an LTS doorbell I would recommend going to their website and...

    Sanity check on home surveillance kit that I'm looking at

    The kit listed is from Hikvision's "Value Express" line. Honestly look at people using this kit in the real world.... It looks like crap. You will definately get a "No resources" error when trying to view your cameras on the NVR using the local monitor. Are you needing twelve cameras? I am...

    Connection failed on iVMS-4550 after installing new router

    The login is the same as you use on your phone app. This should be the same login as you would use on the unit itself. So looking at the screenshot you posted earlier, your user name is "Tran" and then whatever your password is for that. If you don't know the password then you may ask your...

    Connection failed on iVMS-4550 after installing new router

    So you are using HIDDNS. What has happened is that your old router has one IP address and the new router has a different IP address. Also the new router will need to have the ports forwarded so you will be see your cameras. First.... Go into your NVR at the local monitor. There should be a...

    Hikvision Remote Access via Web Browser is Gone...

    What are you using to access the cameras? You mentioned IVMS4500. I guess that would not mean Hik-connect account because most people who uses remote access through Hik-connect uses the hik-connect app. This leads me to believe you are using a DDNS service? If it works in the app but not on...

    New Hikvision Acusense NVR or DeepInView NVR?

    Well.... Since you said you would be using an Acusense NVR then that would not have an issue with false alarms. The only issue I would see would be that if you were using the cameras with IR then once the sensor lights come on it may take a few seconds for the camera to change out of IR mode...
