    Hikvision PTZ Smart Tracking issue

    Nope, pretty much still the same. Updated, reset, everything tried. It will track the subject but the split second it thinks they’ve stopped moving it returns to its original position. I thought that by changing the time it would hang around for a certain time and then continue the tracking. For...

    Better hard drive?

    Thank you. Maybe I'll stick with the purples then after all

    Better hard drive?

    Hi all, I have a 4 x 8mp Hikvision setup on a Hikvision 7608 NVR. I currently have a 4tb WD Purple drive and am looking to upgrade it to a total of 8tb. I may just buy another 4tb and add it to what I currently have, or just buy an 8tb and replace it. But I suddenly thought about the Skyhawk...

    Hikvision PTZ Smart Tracking issue

    I have a PTZ DS-2DE4A215IW-DE 2MP installed on my property. Smart tracking is switched on but I'm having some issues with it. It doesn't matter what I set the duration to it will track for 5-10 seconds and then go back to its original position. Park action is switched off. There seems to be no...

    I've wanted this for a while on iOS but it doesn't seem possible

    What takes priority?

    Maybe a stupid question so apologies, but I cannot find the answer. I have a Hikvision system, 7608 NVR and 4 x 8mp darkfighter cams (not that I think this is relevant really). When I change the settings on the camera such a compression type (H.264 etc), or indeed the bitrate etc directly on the...

    Upgrading my NVR

    Hi all, I currently have a DS-7604NI-K1-4P Hikvision NVR with 3 8mp Darkfighter cameras connected. Despite the seller saying it will run 4 of these cameras (which I seriously doubt) it stutters and stalls all the time on live streaming and even more on playback. Now the seller states that...

    So a couple of days ago I changed it back to H264. Still not working despite numerous reboots. Bank holiday weekend came and went and I thought I’d give the suppliers another call. Just before I did that I checked the system again and all of a sudden it’s working fine again!!! Main stream and...

    Ok. I'll change it to 264, but when I did it earlier I tried the 3 different settings and it made no difference. I'll try it though. I really appreciate the help you guys are giving me as well. I'm stuck without it so thank you

    I set it to MJPEG, but it doesn't seem to matter what it's set to. Is MJPEG correct?

    Right I've connected to all 3 cameras as you suggested and I can see both main and sub streams on each. When I connect to the NVR via my browser, or direct with a monitor on the NVR the sub stream is not viewable and it tries to load and then message says 'live view failed'. I cannot change the...

    I'll try that thank you. The only thing is the substream setting is greyed out so can't check it or make changes. Thanks though. Will make up a lead this evening to connect it

    No, they are genuine. I've got excellent passwords so I doubt it although the thought crossed my mind very briefly. I think something maybe is faulty but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what or why unfortunately. The sudden change in the settings and operation made me think that. I suspect...

    Hi, thanks for your reply. I think these cameras do have a reset button but I was rather hoping I'd be able to avoid getting the ladder out again, especially as it seemingly could happen again with no explanation. Support was pretty terrible offering me nothing more than a reboot should cure...

    Hi all, we purchased a house 6 months ago here in the UK and thought CCTV would be a great investment. I purchased a Hikvision DS-7604NI-K-4P NVR (not the best for these cameras I’ve since found out) and 3 Hik DS-2CD2385G1 8MP Darkfighter IP cameras. I installed them at the start of February and...
