    Hikvision NVR & IP Camera WebAccess Nightmare

    IE Tab also works in Google Chrome and the Auto Tabs function does seem to work correctly. So it's a little easier to use. However, the documentation says that IE Tab is based on the Internet Explorer functions that are built into Windows. I wonder if Microsoft is going to remove those from...

    Hikvision NVR & IP Camera WebAccess Nightmare

    Were you able to get it to AutoRun the camera IP address in IE Tab Mode? I set the IP address to autorun but it's not working - it sticks in Edge mode and gives the error message unless I manually force it into IE Tab Mode and re-enter the IP address. Thanks much.

    Hikvision NVR & IP Camera WebAccess Nightmare

    Thank you, Wolf4Ever! After struggling with it I got it to work. Hope it keeps working. For others, you must run the exe app first to set it up. Then you must activate it and choose Internet 11 Standards (not any other # and not forced). Also, I had to restart Edge several times. Thanks!

    Hikvision NVR & IP Camera WebAccess Nightmare

    Help. I have several Hikvision cameras that can ONLY use Internet Explorer to access their playback and configuration menus. Edge does not work; Firefox does not work; Chrome does not work. Internet Explorer is being discontinued by Microsoft, and will no longer be available after 6/15/2022 -...

    Ip camera outdoor with pir motion sensor

    PIR works best in an enclosed area with nothing moving - including air currents. That's easy to get inside, where PIR is great. Outside it's very hard to get - maybe an almost enclosed patio with no plants that could move gets closest. But for open areas outside - PIR gets confused by too...

    Ip camera outdoor with pir motion sensor

    My experience - I gave up on PIR. Not reliable outdoors no matter what make/model/location/height. Too many false alerts. You don't want a "cry wolf" problem. What I have found reliable is ACTIVE infrared. Two units needed - transmitter and receiver - that both require power and signal...

    Ip camera outdoor with pir motion sensor

    I tried several PIR's including some from Honeywell Ademco. They were not cheap. They were just unreliable. If you know of a reliable PIR for outdoors use that doesn't false alert from wind / sun / foliage in the summer, please tell.

    Ip camera outdoor with pir motion sensor

    There was no height that would get them to work reliably. Just too many heat producing /moving things outside in the summer that trigger it. PIR not good for outside in my experience - great for indoors though.

    Ip camera outdoor with pir motion sensor

    I'll share my experience with attempting to use PIR outside as a motion sensor to trigger camera recording. This includes PIR plus microwave sensors. I could never get them to work reliably, no matter what placement / settings /configuration I tried. They would issue many false triggers...

    Camera Siting Problem- I'm looking for how to deal with a bright light.

    Options, alternatives (may be combined): 1. Change location of camera so it does not look directly into light. 2. Increase light on driveway/car from current camera side. 3. Use true wide dynamic range camera. 4. Obtain BB gun, set alarm clock to 2 am, go outside and shoot out street light...
