    Changing the NVR firmware fixed the issue for me.

    DS-7608N-E2/8P Issues

    Update: I managed to upgrade the NVR firmware to a newer version and it seems that all the issues I was having have been resolved. So I think they can be attributed to the old firmware that came with the NVR, like I suspected. Just thought I'd post this in case somebody else was having similar...

    DS-7608N-E2/8P Issues

    The hard drive is a 3TB WD purple. I don't see anything of concern in the SMART detail counts but here is a screenshot in case I missed something: The cameras have "notify surveillance centre" enabled directly through the web interfaces/ivms. Line crossing and intrusion detection are enabled...

    DS-7608N-E2/8P Issues

    I've had a DS-7608N-E2/8P (Chinese model with English firmware, only option I had at the time) for a little over a year and I've been having some issues with it since day 1. The firmware version is V3.3.4 build 150616, the NVR region is "RR" and there are 6 Hikvision cameras (various Chinese...

    Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/garage

    Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga You are correct. None of the tiny cameras in an enclosure have ir-cut. I looked thoroughly when I wanted to buy one and the only ones in a form factor this small that have ircut come as just boards without an...

    Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/garage

    Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga Grass is green and colors are correct day and night on mine (since it stays in day mode at night because of ample lighting).

    Mini IP Camera setup

    They have indoor domes as well which are cheaper (I have this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Gadinan-ONVIF-1-2-8-SONY-IMX222-Full-HD-1080P-2-0MP-Ultra-lowillumination-Mini-Dome/316399_32484550117.html). The main advantage to the non-mini versions is that they have IRCUT and...

    Mini IP Camera setup

    I am using it right next to a bright street light (4m away) so it stays in day mode and performs well. Before installing it I compared the night time image to a 4MP Hik camera and I can say that under low light the Hiks are better because of the IR, but if both have enough light at night the IMX...

    Best deal on Imporx (Huisun) v2!

    Is this the same camera or different specs (US $129): http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bCk6uPBS ?

    Mini IP Camera setup

    Much better than other (non-Sony) sensors given the same lighting conditions owing to its wide dynamic range. Obviously this camera doesn't have IR so another camera with a cheaper sensor and IR might outperform it. But overall as long as there is decent lighting it works well.

    Mini IP Camera setup

    I have that exact camera (from the same seller). I checked the serial output using a USB adapter, unfortunately it seems that the console is disabled in the firmware so I could only read the boot information. It outputs some lines that have "IMX222" in them and even the silkscreen on the camera...

    What dash cam are you using?

    DOD LS460W, Sony Exmor Sensor and GPS. Great night time image quality.

    Hikvision NVR/Camera settings keep reverting

    I have a 7608 NVR (FW 3.3.4) with a mix of 2335 and 2345 cameras (all FW 5.3.6). I change some of the encoding settings for the cameras (frame rate, bitrate, video quality) and they keep reverting to the original (default) values. Sometimes the settings for one of the cameras stick but as soon...

    Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/garage

    Re: Nice tiny POE HD camera cheap- for those that want that hidden camera in house/ga I have the IMX322 version from the same seller. It definitely doesn't have day/night IRCUT but the image quality is awesome for a 2MP, especially at night. I'm pretty sure none of the "tiny" cameras have the...

    Re: Smokin Deal on Hikvision DS-2cd2335-i 3MP - Mar 29th for $69.97 from a trusted ve Same camera but the price doesn't include shipping, so which one is cheaper depends on where you're shipping it to.

    De Minimis (Duty/Tax free threshold) Increase to $800 in the U.S.

    Just be aware that it's C$20 so barely US$15, and shipment values are in US$. So if the exchange rate changes in favour of the US$ by the time you get the package (which is very likely considering how slow regular mail is), and it goes over the C$20 even by a few cents you will get hit with tax...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2332(D)-I replacement DS-2CD2335(D)-I

    Also interested in a comparison between the two for day and especially night image quality. I'm trying to decide between the 3MP 2335 and 4MP 2345. The 2345 is apparently exactly the same as the 3345 except it has a metal mount like the 2335. Normally, I would go for the 4MP but I'm concerned...

    De Minimis (Duty/Tax free threshold) Increase to $800 in the U.S.

    You guessed right! Customs are actually fine here, they're just following the rules and they are fairly lenient for packages through the regular postal system. It's the couriers that are really loving the $20 Cdn/~$15 US threshold. Examples from this past week: DHL wanted me to pay $21 for a...

    De Minimis (Duty/Tax free threshold) Increase to $800 in the U.S.

    Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere: effective March 10th 2016, the previous duty/tax free threshold of $200 for personal mail shipments to the US has increased to $800. That means you folks no longer have to order one camera at a time and you can save a few bucks by shipping multiple...

    Hikvision 7600 series dimensions

    I see that the NVR circuit boards are the same. The power supplies and fan vents are different though, how do they compare in terms of noise?
