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...

Probably a dumb question and it has no use at all....... but what is it used for?

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...

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...

Hi, Just looking for a little help. It looks like Hik released new client software recently? When I google it I get to : https://us.hikvision.com/en/products/software/ivms-4200-series/free-client-software-hikvision-devices-ivms-4200-windows That looks like the full version and no "lite"...

Are there any NVRs that can control relay outputs? Or any way to make this work with a NVR other than a full blown automation/control system?

Hi, I am logged into the NVR and the camera at the same time. When logged into the camera I can vew the main and sub stream no problem. When I select the substream in the NVR/configuration menu for the same channel camera, I get "The camera does not support the function." IVMS4200 is...

Or what other places of your found a good seller?

Hi all - can someone confirm if that NVR has support for ONVIF cameras? I think it does but the spec sheet only calls out "3rd party support" Thanks in advance.

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...

Hi, I recently setup this camera up. For some reason the live view is only showing the top left hand corner in IE. I cannot see the entire image. When go full screen it works fine and I can see the whole image. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, I am trying to setup HDMI 2 with a 4 screen output. I have selected the 4 screen output and the 4 cameras I want, but it only shows 3 of them.... 3 of the cameras are 4MP and one is 8MP. It will only show 2 of the 4MPs. It also seems to be dependent on the order that they are added...

Once a camera has been added to the NVR, it seems to be assigned the next Channel No. in order. Can you edit these? Can I move a camera to an unused channel in an effort to reorder them logically?

Hi, Can someone shed some light on what these settings do or what they change? I did some searching but found little information about them. The cameras seem to default to outdoor. I assume make it the right setting for where the camera is? :-).

Hi, I have a varifocal 2.8-12 that I have zoomed in. Is there anyway to see what focal length I am zoomed into? I have checked the camera page but cannot seem to find it. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have been looking into Hik-Connect and other remote access options. Hik-Connect has been billed as a "more secure" method to access devices. Perhaps I am getting the "more secure" impression from Hik's marketing and I am simply brainwashed. Either way, I am wondering if this is simply not...

Hi - I am looking at a 16 ch Hik NVR with built in PoE. I do not want to use the built in PoE switch. Other than cost/power consumption, is there any other downside, i.e. will it function the same as a the model NVR without the switch? I am having a hard time sourcing version I want without...

Hi, When in live view using iVMS-4500 viewing a single cam in the portrait everything is good. When I switch the phone to landscape mode, the phone auto rotates but I loose the image. Is this normal or do I have setup wrong? Should I use a different app? Thanks.

Hi - I have a 64 GB card that I am not sure is working correctly or it is user error... I assumed that when you changed the percentages for picture and record the max/free sections above would change automatically based on these settings. On this camera - the picture files size got set to 14...

Hi, I have done some research and found some options for this including IVPM Camera Calculator, JVSG IP Video System Design Tool, and the various VideoCAD products like VideoCAD Lite. I am probably missing some others. Background and what I am looking for: I was in the industry when analog...

Hi, I was hoping to ask you direct question about network education and training... looking for some friendly advice on a direction to take. Your expertise on the subject matter is clear in your posts. If you are willing to help out quick.... can you PM me? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I am trying to understand the differences between using the NVR's PoE switch or a separate switch. I understand that if I use the NVR's switch that I cannot access the cameras directly. Some say that NVRs generally use very low quality PoE switches. What other considerations are...

Hi, What do you recommend for doing site surveys.... I am trying to get a handle what the actual output of the system will be and what to shoot for. How can I get what resolution at the target are i.e. distance from camera to view area? What mm lens should I use to get the view I need? Is...

Hi all - first real post, please go easy :-) Just getting a Hikvision cam setup. I configured port forwarding in my Mikrotik and have the app and web access working properly. Utilizing both live and recorded playback - I do not see any packets flowing over this port. What is it used for...
