    Hikvision 4500 connection issue

    I don't want to jinx it but the latest IVMS-4500 update seems to have fixed the issue. Version 4.2.2

    Hikvision 4500 connection issue

    Agreed. The HD app still works but the app is junk compared to the non HD version. FWIW, the non HD app stopped working for me before I got Android 6 so in my experience it is the app and camera sw/fw not your Android version.

    Video freeze in motion detection enabled

    I don't have a solution but I had the same issue. I am now using 24/7 continuous record with motion still active and have no issues.

    How to Set up up Continous and motion recording

    As suggested already, my solution is to have email alerts. This gives me continuous recording and notifications when motion occurs. Obviously for this to be effective you need to spend some time to setup your motion settings in order to avoid false triggers flooding your inbox.

    Hikvision 4500 connection issue

    I have the same issue. I think it is an issue with the updated app and camera firmware. The app worked fine for a year and then the update broke it. My cams have AliExpress 5.2.0 f/w. I believe my NVR is 3.0.7 The good news is the tablet version, lablee as HD in the play store has not been...

    Best monitoring app for (hikvision) ip cameras

    Nexus 5 with Android 5.1 It looks like it is the hik devices according to comments on the play store. Hikvision support says to update to the latest firmware. My cams all have the original 5.2.0 loaded still so I will do some reading to see how to update them. The HD, tablet version, works...

    Best monitoring app for (hikvision) ip cameras

    It is just disappointing since it only started after the latest update. I will see if I can find an sdk for the previous app version.

    Best monitoring app for (hikvision) ip cameras

    This was short lived. :( It worked briefly then became inconsistent. The app works sometimes and other times it just loads the streams forever. I even uninstalled and reinstalled with the same results....Maybe Android 6 will be better otherwise I will be changing apps. Bummer.

    Best monitoring app for (hikvision) ip cameras

    Even on the local network it won't load. I just get the spinning circles for each cam and that continues indefinitely. What makes it worse is the app won't close either. After hitting close the app wants to stop the camera feeds but they never actually started so it can't stop them. It just...

    Best monitoring app for (hikvision) ip cameras

    Anybody else having issues with the latest android version of IVMS-4500? Ever since updating to version 4.2.0 (build 20150820) none of my cams are viewable. They are detected however they just load forever and nothing happens. This app worked seamlessly for me previously.

    Motion detection/email

    This probably isn't your issue but I will post it anyways. I had the same issue, with the same firmware. I could receive test emails but that's it. In my case it was Mac filtering on my router. The camera Mac addressees were not on the allow list. Once added to the list or if Mac filtering was...

    Why I have cameras

    Sorry for the lack of updates gents. The police have not told me if they caught anybody - I would be surprised if they pass along any info too me. Surprisingly they didn't even seem very interested in taking the footage at all. The whole process was actually quite a pain in the ass. They...

    Why I have cameras

    Yea those people are the scum of the earth. I checked raidsonline.com (fantastic website for crime stats by the way) and sure enough there were several reported car break and enters in my neighbourhood on that night. I hope the police nail the SOB. The pic was from a 2332 hik turret recording...

    Why I have cameras

    Caught this sleaze ball testing the door handles on every car on the street last night. Actually there were two of them. Another slimeball was on the other side of the street but I don't have enough clarity for it to be of any use. The idiot is smart enough to not leave finger prints but blindly...

    Hik 2132 vs 2532 vs 2732?

    This is what I have as well with the lights set on a timer dusk till dawn. OP, I would rethink the 2.8mm lens idea if your driveway is more than one car length long. You really don't get much in way of distance clarity with the 2.8mm lens. A 4mm would be better suited likely.

    Difference between motion detection and intrusion detection?

    I also don't think it is only when objects cross boundaries. On a windy overcast day I occasionally get intrusion detections from the reflection of the clouds on the roof/wind screen of cars in my driveway. This may not work for you depending how many cameras you have but I just leave mine on...

    Delete Records Hikvision PCNVR

    I am not sure if it is available in 5.16 but if it is, on the cameras motion detection page turn on Dynamic Analysis for Motion. Then, under local configuration set Rules to enabled. This will allow you to see the line crossing/intrusion detection/motion detection squares in Live view. They will...

    Witch is best firmware update to old china import DS-2CD2132-I

    Max, The best firmware to use would be the latest version available. Right now I believe it is 5.2.5 for the 2xxx series cameras. It will have the most features as well as the latest bug and security fixes. As for server, that all depends where you are located and whether or not you have CBX's...

    Issues with Hikvision 2332-i retaining settings

    I find this happens if you set the motion detection in the camera and then afterwards browse around in the motion settings within the NVR. For me it would change itself from expert mode to normal mode. I use intrusion detection now and have no issues.

    Mobile playback slow and laggy on ivms4500 HD mobile app

    It is probably a bandwidth issue. Have you tried multiple networks? Playback using my home WiFi or LTE works flawless on my phone. If I try it using the WiFi at work it is usually laggy unless it is early in the morning. This is on a Nexus 5 and 3MP streams.

    Newby here... new set-up - tips/advice most welcome!!!

    Hikvision has quick start guides. I recommend you check those out. They will walk you through using SADP to change the camera and NVR IP addresses to match your network. From their it is all plug and play using your browser.

    Hikvision 2532F-IS - not getting any audio through

    So you think it is the Chinese-English 5.2.0 firmware? My cam has a sticker for 5.2.3 but only has 5.2.0 installed. Has anybody successfully updating the firmware with CBX's region changer? Does the audio work after that?

    2532 glitchy playback during motion events

    I will try that. I am leaning more to a camera issue. This cam also has a faulty mic. If there is motion in the frame but outside of the intrusion detection zone it plays back without any issues.

    2532 glitchy playback during motion events

    I am not convinced it is the network since it only happens when the intrusion detection is tripped. The cam is continually recording so it shouldn't be from initiating the recording either. It could be the iFrame but the other cams don't experience this with the same settings. I believe they are...
