    People Counting Camera and notifications?

    Hi, In general how do the people counting cameras work in terms of alerting? I know you can get reporting over time, but it can it do alert based on a threshold set? If occupancy gets to a certain number I would like to alert IVMS and trigger a contact or relay. Anyone have any experience...

    Raspbery Pi2 Camera Monitor w/Rpisurv

    Did you try startx? You could also run raspi-config and change the boot options to desktop v CLI. Not sure why the rpisurv would change that.

    Craziness ..... Convert IP camera to NTSC analog video?

    Cool device indeed. In my case the modulator (Analog UHF) is already installed and working. The existing TVs are not DTVs in my case.... A QAM version of this for the US would be an option in other projects... I will hunt around. I may try a RPi RTSP > HDMI to composite video converter...

    Craziness ..... Convert IP camera to NTSC analog video?

    So.... I know this is a strange request. I have a client with an older analog system where 3 of the analog cameras are modulated on to an RF analog TV system..... aka DTV boxes creating their own channel lineup. Anyway - They want to replace the analog cameras and go IP with an NVR. Easy...

    Hikvision NVR hard drives show as uninitialized after reboot?

    Well..... I decided to simply reformat the drives. They are now working normally. Wish I knew what cause them to error out after reboot. I have an alert setup to let me know what of any further disk errors. I should have set up the alert straight away. Live and learn.

    Hikvision NVR hard drives show as uninitialized after reboot?

    It looks like NVR was rebooted - then I see exception HDD Error 1 & 2 in the logs. So the reboot caused the HDD to error out? Before I do anything - I will reboot again and see if they come back.... worth a try.

    Hikvision NVR hard drives show as uninitialized after reboot?

    I have a Hik NVR that has been working fine for over a year. We added another camera yesterday and I went to check the motion recordings today. I found none on this new or any other camera. In the storage management area the two drives show as uninitialized with free space as zero? Any idea...

    Hikvision Playback Tool And Reverse Slo-Motion?

    Hi - two quick questions - 1) When we download video for evidence we over some period of time say 20 mins, we get a bunch of video files as expected. Is there a tool to stitch them together and play them back like iVMS? Something to make it easier for those who need to investigate. 2) Is there...
