    Hikvision NVR 5.0 software - enabling sound on Live View when locked?

    With the new NVR 5.0 software, has anyone worked out how to enable sound on Live View when the NVR has locked itself? My old NVR had the sound on, but this new version mutes the sound as soon as the NVR locks. Edit: this in on the HDMI output. (Hikvision NVR firmware updates = 1 step forward...

    Has anyone purchased off SS-Inter ? (Ebay Australia.)

    I guess the title says it all - there's a seller on Ebay Australia called SS-Inter and they sell security cameras/ NVR's etc. I was wondering if anyone has purchased off them? I'm looking at a Hikvision NVR and their prices are good- but not the cheapest. The cheaper options all have negative...

    What brand HDD for Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-I2/8P ?

    It appears one of my HDD has failed in my Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P - I'm getting more than 140 sector errors on the one drive. Hikvision state you can fit up to 10TB per HDD.

    Unable to connect laptop to Hikvision NVR 7608NI/I2/8P - previously no problems

    I was wondering if someone would have any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong with connecting a Windows 10 laptop to a Hikvision 7608 NVR's LAN port. I've done it many times in the past, but nothing I've tried will get it to work now. I'm not sure if it's memory failure on my part or...

    Non linear HLC control on DS-2CD2387G2-L(U) (Colorvu 8MP) - possibly affects other models.

    Has anyone else noticed the non linear response of the HLC control in the 8MP Colorvu cameras? See the image below, top pic is with HLC set at 40, middle is 41 (note massive change in scene) and the the last pic is with it set at 100. It's almost as if the highest HLC setting is 41and after that...

    Hivision DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR - change resolution of manual captures higher than 1920x1080?

    Is there a way to change the resolution of manual captures (e.g. when playing back footage you click on the capture icon) from 1920x1080 to the full resolution of the camera? Mine does 1920 x 1080 Jpegs for 8MP cameras and I can't find any option to change it. I'm running 4 series firmware.

    IR not working on older camera- IR filter stuck.

    A tip for anyone who may find a camera doesn't work with IR light at night, if your IR LED's are coming on it's most likely the IR filter stuck closed. I just had it happen in a 4MP DS-2CD2342WD-I that I'd been using locked in colour 24/7 for a couple of years. I pulled it apart and tried...

    How to get Smart Event set up on camera GUI to mark the Event on the NVR's playback timeline?

    I've tried searching for the answer to this, but haven't found the solution. I've got a Hik camera with the "Smart Event" feature for "Intrusion" which includes a useful "Maximum"/ "Minimum" target size option. I've configured it on the camera the exact same way as a basic Event like "Motion"...

    DS-2CD2387G2-LU 4mm 8MP ColorVu out of focus, black pixels when zoomed in?

    Has anyone else got a 4mm version of the newish 8MP ColorVu turret? I just bought one and it seems to have been focused very poorly at the factory- that's testing it inside and not expecting anything really close to be in focus. I also noticed when zooming right in on the NVR playback there...

    Testing an IP Cam "Line Level" microphone input?

    So I've got a camera with a "Line Level" input and have tried two amplified microphones and they won't work with it (barely hear the audio with the mic gain up to 100). I'm trying to isolate the problem. Both microphones are the same brand/ model, so that doesn't help. I've tested them on the...

    Hik DS-7608NI-I2/8P - hard drive sizes >6TB ?

    Just wondering if anyone is using the Hik DS-7608NI-I2/8P and has tried a single hard drive >6TB? The specs say you can use up to 2 x 6TB, but I'd like to fit something along the lines of a single 8TB. I want to stay with the single drive to reduce heat and power consumption.

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR Captures via webpage disappearing?

    I was wondering if there's some sort of firmware bug with my NVR- when logged on from a PC via the LAN port I seem unable to find where the screen captures are being saved to? When the camera icon is pressed to do the screen capture a message flashes up on the screen saying where the picture is...

    Attempted firmware upgrade on Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P gone bad.

    Hi, I'm a newbie to the world of IP Cams and have the above mentioned NVR and was attempting to go from V3.4.82_160902 firmware to V3.4.91_161220 via a USB flash drive. All appeared to go well until it rebooted and came up with "Insecure Password, please change" (or something similar.) It was...
