    NVR upgrade

    Is there any easy way to upgrade my Hikvision NVR or do I have to start from scratch. My old NVR is one that's locked and can't be upgraded. I've never been able to get it to send notifications to my phone. I know I could flash it and hope I don't brick it, but it's getting long in the tooth...

    POE switches (outdoor) to reduce cable runs

    I've been using Arlo cameras as a temporary measure, as they are easy to install and the notifications work. I've never had any luck with Notifications and my Hikvision cameras. I think I need to upgrade my NVR though. I was going to run three camera cables through the attic to the POE switch...

    Any downsides to adding an IP Camera to a Hikvision NVR?

    I want to add a few new cameras to my Hikvision NVR, but the wiring is problematic in a couple of cases. But if I go through the Attic I could run the Cat6 to my upstairs POE switch. I know I will use up a camera slot(s) on the NVR, but any other downsides, like bandwidth. I'm running a...

    My Hikvision NVR won't stop beeping

    I was playing with the configuration settings in the browser trying to get my NVR to send push notifications to Hik Connect on my phone, which never did work. This also 'seemed' to make my NVR beep incessantly, mostly related to motion events I think. I undid my changes, but the beeping...

    Hikvision AcuSense PCI-B18Z2S

    Anyone have any experience with the Hikvision AcuSense PCI-B18Z2S camera? I gather it has a motorized lens, but it doesn't say so in the description, like it does for the non-IDS version. I know it's POE, but I don't see any pictures showing the actual connection. I saw a video of the non-IDS...

    Unsupported Stream Type

    I know this is basic, but I haven't added a camera in a while. I added an 8MP 2387C to my old NN7716, with Chinese firmware. I know it does not support H265 with it's current FW. I adjusted the resolution and changed the codec to H264. It still says unsupported Stream on the multi-screen...

    Exposing my Hikvision cameras to Alexa

    Alexa can see the cameras plugged into my Hikvision NVR, but it can't stream them of course. I was reading that I could plug my cameras into a POE switch directly and loopback the NVR and it should expose the cameras to Alexa without using Monocle. Anyone tried this? I guess I'll just move one...

    PTZIP204WX4IR camera mounting?

    I bought an ANPVIZ PTZIP204WX4IR a while back with the mount. The mounting bracket on the camera is a disk that mounts to the wall mount with two screws (not supplied). Then the camera inserts onto the mounting disk and rotates to attach it to the disk on the wall mount. But there does not seem...

    can I set my Hikvision NVR to record pre and post motion events?

    Way back when I used to record my cameras form a PC interface card with Averrmedia software. I think. I could set how many seconds to record before a motion event and how many seconds to record after a monition event. Setting up masking and motion sensitivity was also much simpler than it is...

    IVMS 4200 causing my PC to spontaneously shutdown

    My IVMS 4200 has not worked for a while, so I uninstalled it, repaired the registry and reinstalled the latest version. Wow the picture quality is so much better than logging into the NVR and it is very responsive. My custom view won't load for now, but at least it's working. But, the PC...

    Hikvision new camera frustration

    I added a new camera to my NVR after quite some time. The wiring frustration was bad enough, but at least the cable passed. I plug the new camera into NVR and it starts beeping right away about an IP conflict. I tried changing the IP for my failed Amcrest add, but this did not solve my problem...

    My Foscam FI9821W is trying to commit suicide

    I was in the garage getting the recycling ready when I heard this jittering noise. It took me a minute to locate it, at first I thought the mice had acquired motorized artillery. It was my Foscam PTZ camera trying to twist it's head off. I haven't accessed this camera in a while, so no idea why...

    Error 25544 IVMS 4500

    My IVMS quit working a while back, so I just switched to using the Web Server on my NVR. This was great until the PC died, so I decided to try IVMS on my phone until I get the PC parts. Everything loaded OK, until I got error 25544 on Live View, which I can't find anywhere. I asked Hikvision...

    IVMS-4200 not working

    My IVMS-4200 has stopped displaying my cameras. This seemed to happen after a power failure, but I have no idea why. I seem to be logged in and I can still view my cameras in the local browser. Any ideas?

    HIkvision DS-7716N-E4/16P Firmware upgrade please

    Hi, I have a Chinese HIkvision DS-7716N-E4 with Firmware V3.4.6 build 160405. All of the menus are in English, but I know the firmware can't be upgraded, as the vendor warned against it and there are no upgrades available in the interface.

    Hikvision DS-7716N-E4 deleting camera info

    Hi, I purchased this NVR over a year ago and had it setup on my workbench with 9 cameras for a while. I finally got around to installing some of the cameras recently. When I fired up the 7716 it went through the setup wizard again, although it did remember the admin password. Fortunately I had...
