I'm wondering about being able to change the bitrate on an event. My Hikvision NVR is set up to 15 fps for "Mainstream (Normal)" and 30 fps for "Mainstream (Event)". However, the max bitrate that I set for "Mainstream (Normal)" is also used for "Mainstream (Event)" and it's grayed out so I can't...
I made a couple of updates to the instructions in my link. It turns out that if you've set up your NVR to use Hik-Connect then DDNS is already being used. So all you have to do is set up the Configure DDNS setting for your NVR to point to the server port you are using as well as to provide NVR...
As an addendum to this, I've found a way to playback h265+ smoothly through Hik-Connect. I had to open a port to my server (changing it from the default of 8000 for security reasons) and then go into settings and enable DDNS. Once I did that my playback stream in Hik-Connect plays back as a...
Thanks for the answers, really appreciated! I've managed to bring up my NVR's web page through DDNS, so now I'm looking into doing playback through the Hik-connect app through DDNS.
Do you have any instructions for how to configure this on a Hikvision NVR?
I followed the instructions to get my Asus router setup and have the "Registration successful" message, but the NVR only seems to provide fields "DYNDNS", "PeanutHull" and NO-IP DDNS types. I try to connect to my NVR...
I ran some tests and found that a combination of backlight compensation (BLC) (for street lights in the background) and about 40% HLC really helped a lot. I also added a tiny bit of brightness to compensate for a darkish image. A shutter speed of 1/60th of a second worked fine for the slow...
I simply can't get it to work. The stream is there, but frequently stops/pixellates and frequently gives me a large green bar covering about 1/3 of my display.
If I encode with h264 or h264+ I'm fine, but I'd like to be able to use the better compression if I can.
I display it on my phone using...
I've tried even 1/120 shutter speed with no luck, that's why I started playing with WDR and HLC, but I've only done it for the vehicles of other people who stop by. I think that parking my car will allow me to fine tune everything. I'll pose some pics when I next get around to a tweaking...
Thanks for the reply. Like you've suggested, it sounds like I need to park my car on the driveway with the lights on and play with the settings until I (hopefully) find a reasonable compromise in the settings.
I'd like to be able to read the license plate of anyone entering/leaving my driveway. The driveway is U-shaped, so vehicles typically drive around the 'U at very slow speed', giving me a good view of both the front and rear plates.
I don't have a dedicated LPR camera, and I'm not looking for...
Hey ScoobyBear, did you get this sorted out. I'm having the same issue with h.264+-encoded videos. I'm finding that VSPlayer shows my clips as "invalid".
Thanks for getting back to me on this Jay. I actually was able to resolve the issue and posted my solution here: Playback not smooth
To summarize, I simply had to drop H.265 encoding altogether. I found that H.264+ seemed to resolve everything, even better than switching to H.264. It looks like...
I guess I'll answer my own question for future reference.
I was able to resolve this issue by switching to H.264+ encoding. I was originally using H.265+ but that left no horsepower for transcoding the stream to be streamed to my phone. I then tried H.265, and though that was better the...
I've seen a number of posts on this forum regarding this issue but haven't found a resolution. I have a Hikvision nvr that supports playback of a transcoded stream (7616NI-I2/16P), but that stream doesn't appear to be used when I attempt to play back video on my Android phone through...
I know it's been over a year now, but did you ever make any progress on this? I'm just configuring my first system and I'm also finding that even though I record both streams, playback on Hik-Connect is always in HD (the HD/Basic button is disabled and set always to "HD") and won't play...
I know it's been a while, but I'd like to know how the shade worked out?
I fashioned one last night for my Hikvision DS-2CD2347G1-LU turret cam using a large pill container from Costco (glucosamine sulfate). The container is the perfect size, but the camera is a little tapered in shape at the...
Thank you for your reply! I was figuring that there probably wasn't enough room, but I just wanted to confirm.
I'm thinking of crafting my own 1" thick spacer from 1x6 PVC board so that I don't need those 2" thick (expensive) Hikvision custom junction boxes. Should be a fun evening in the...
Hello Everyone, this is my first post on these forums so please forgive me if I'm doing anything wrong.
I tried searching for this, but haven't found a definitive answer (probably used wrong search keywords). I was wondering if any owners of the 2347 turret camera did a wall mount of the turret...
