    Hikvision IPcam feed on Chromebooks

    Hi Guys I had hikconnect and IVMS working on my chromebooks until I powerwashed them and now these apps are not available through the playstore anymore :-) Until such time this may change, what (free) alternative do you use on Chromebooks to watch your Hik IPCams locally and through Hikconnect...

    Nuisance: Max Bitrate changing to 32 Kbps all the time

    There are 2x 8MP and 2x4MP Hik IPcams on the DS 7608NI 8P. None of the cams are using the NVR´s POE ports, all are on the same network and fed by Ubiquity switch power. This worked fine for a long while I dont see this has deteriorated somehow. I tried changing many settings and ran the camera...

    Nuisance: Max Bitrate changing to 32 Kbps all the time

    Can config settings be changed on Hik cameras by access not entering credentials? If this is happening why only change the max bitrate and not mess with anything else (like my events or just resolution or put the brightness on max etc?). And why only this cam and not the rest if the hacker comes...

    Nuisance: Max Bitrate changing to 32 Kbps all the time

    My only frontdoor is my admin account with a long difficult PW. I have more cameras in the system (with the same PW) and they keep their config. I forgot to mention I use a HIK NVR as well, the DS 7608NI 8P

    Nuisance: Max Bitrate changing to 32 Kbps all the time

    Hi have a 2 year old Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-IS which was working fine until recently and is giving me crap image quality most of the time. If I check I find my Video settings have changed without me doing this (and I am the only one with access, or do I?) So I set the system to 3840x2160...

    Hikvision NVR + IPCam - no substream available

    Has somebody fixed this in the past? I have a Hikvision NVR with 8mp CAMS and on just one of the cams the NVR claims the substream is not supported? On the cam it allows me to config both streams fine and I changed settings to get the NVR to recognise the stream. I did not reboot the NVR each...

    Hikvision NVR + IPCam - no substream : the camera does not support the function

    Hi guys, it´s mentioned many times in numerous forums but no threats end in working solutions. I am sure this can be fixed.

    iVMS Gripes

    Hi guys, I just wanted to find out, are there much better alternatives to iVMS4200 and iVMS4500 possibly? Or is Hikvision planning a serious overhaul anytime soon and launch some updates hopefully? Is it me, or does iVMS gobble up tremendous resources on your windows 10 PC too? It takes...

    No MicIN on DS-2CD2185FWD-IS ???

    RPC did you get the mic and is it working well? How do you power the mic? I feed my cam using PoE (48V) and wish I would not have to get another wire with 5V running all the way to the cam too? When powered up on PoE I measure 12V on the adaptor Inlet 2-pin socket which is unused because it...

    A quick update on this (29/11/17): The cam came out of hibernation! It's ALIVE! And the firmware updated from V5.4 to V5.5.0 and since it's the "Z" version and previously I had to focus manually after zooming, it now auto-focuses! WOW! I did not expect this to happen!

    I've got a EP-2742FWD-IZS I bought from Switech which is a CD-2742FWD-IZS hikvision OEM camera. I've used the IPC_R6_ML_STD_5.5.0_170725.zip to upload the 5.5.0 firmware off the official Hikvision support site to upgrade from my version 5.4.0. It did upload the file to the cam up till 100%...

    New Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD 4MP/8MP

    Thanks that may be an answer to "are EXIR" LEDs (supposed to be) visible to the human eyes? Because on my DS-2CD2185FWD-I i see 3 RED LEDs glowing when the illumination is on. BTW, these camera's are so sensitive I have forced them on daymode permanently as the picture remains good enough to...

    New Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD 4MP/8MP

    I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2185FWD-I The pictures compared to the 4MP range is remarkably better. I find also it weighs heavier on my network and iVMS 4500 got slower and sometimes crashes since the DS-2CD2185FWD-I also puts data available on my network. I have one weird question which I can't...
