Hi All, I think it's time to upgrade my Dashcam and would like to be able to automatically upload the files captured when I get home. I know that the Blackvue cameras with Cloud access, you can attached to it's Wifi and then use cgi calls to download files, but does anyone know of any others...

Saw some tracks in the snow and thought I'd take a look what it was.. Just a common old cat I'm afraid, but thought I'd put this up anyway.

Hi, I know I can get a still image from the NVR using the following call, but can I add a param to get the image for around that time? http://<ipaddress>/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture I'm going to assume not, but would be nice to know. I found this and it does not seem to contain...

Hi, After seeing @jerrysimon's post on this camera I thought I'd take a punt on it. So far so good, but thought I'd post my findings on it. I bought it from Amazon UK for £56. You can find the manufacturers page here. Some quick stats. Specifications: Image Sensor: 1/2.8" Progressive...

Not as exciting as elk or bears, but we had a visit from one of our local foxes.

Has anyone got this up and working as everytime I try to cast the camera or open it on the Phone, I just get a wait animation and then nothing. I cannot see anything that I should need to configure for this to make it work. Any advice would be gratefully received. Paul

All, What tools do you use to cut the files once downloaded from a Hik NVR? I mean, it's not so bad to download the file and throw it straight into Youtube, but it would be nice to be able to cut the relevant section out. I've tried a couple of my normal tools, but they don't seem to like the...

All, I need some advice on whether I'm going made or my camera has soft focus on the left had side. The Camera is a DS-2CD2335FWD-I Low Light camera and I have a thread on it here. I've tried some options: Tried different options with ROI, to no avail. Different Bit rates etc Lens is...

Hi, I've just bought a couple of the new HIK Low Light cameras, you can see my thread here, but the image is off. Have a look at the attached image and you can see the blurred left hand side, the bush is a prime example. So do you think this is something I can solve or is the camera fit for...

Well I thought I would take the plunge and get some of these as they seem to match the low light capabilities of the very popular Dahua turret and as I have a HIK NVR would match my kit more closely. I bought this from 'China Security Wholesale' for the original price of $120. There was a...

I'm getting to grips with this app and would like to know if I can enhance my playback from VCA events to be able to link two (or more) cameras to view when searching events. I don't mind if the events are from one camera, but would like to view in a grid two cameras for that time and in sync...

Hi all, Does anyone have a trim ring or know where I can get one for the Turrent captioned? I have a fairly new one, but I've never been able to get the ring on. I've have the camera down and in my lap, but even then I cannot get the bugger to go on at all. I attach a photo with the obvious...

I've bought one of these cameras for AE and have it up and running with my HIKVision NVR. The only issue is when I switch to the live view it takes up to 20 seconds for it to burst into life. What I am trying to do is set this up with tinyCam Pro for viewing on TV/Phone/Watch, but I cannot get...

Well, not really. But today my partner parked the car outside the house like normal and the NVR went nuts. It started sending a Email notification every 15 to 60 seconds by the Face Detection being triggered. This went on for a while until I moved the car slightly. Picture of the car with a...

Hi, I've connected two cameras to a DS2-7608-NI:E2 NVR and am having some issues with viewing the cameras remotely. Live View is working now, within the Web GUI, but when I try to open the main streams in VLC I just get the below. I see things change as they go past, but it doesn't get any...

Hi, This might be a daft question, but I have HIKVision NVR (DS-7608NI-E2 / 8P) and if I'm reading it right I should be able to update it with this FW...

Hi, I have a bit of a weird one. I've set up Intrusion Detection on my two cameras and Face Detection on my Door Camera, but only get the attached pictures on the mails about 10% of the time. I get the mails stating the event has been captured, but no photo's. I cannot see any obvious...

Hi, For some reason my NVR has stopped displaying the main streams in live view through it's web interface on my PC. I've not tried it directly in the NVR as that's in the loft. I've two cameras connected to it, one 3MP HIK Dome and a 4MP Turret. The sub streams works fine, so do you think...

Hi, I want a nice cheap and cheerful project I can do with the Kids and though of building a Nesting box with a Camera in it. Looking around at the 'Nice Tiny POE Camera' thread (here), I saw the following camera. P2p onvif 2 megapixel 1080p / 2mp ir-cut filter home network hd ipc 2.1mm...

Hi, I'm getting a bunch of false positives with motion detection on my HIK NVR with two cameras at night. Just behind the bushes at the front of the photo's is a road and it seems to pick up every car that goes by with it's lights on. During the day it's pretty good with not many FP's Here...

Is there a trick to get the trim back onto a HIKVISION turret? Ok, I feel really dumb now, but I cannot get the round trim ring back on my turret camera. It should just sit on and turn to the right (clockwise) but it won't budge. Is there a trick to this? Paul Sent from my Nexus 10 using...

Hi, I've a new setup with the following HIKVISION components: NVR: DS-7608NI-E2/8P Cameras: DS-2CD2135F-IS DS-2CD2342-I I've been being these in, writing the confines of my spare room, but starting to move them into their preeminent location. The done camera is sitting next to the front...

Hi all, I'm going to be mounting a torrent on an outside wall and have bought the Hikvision mounting box. This comes with a Gland which seems to be set for conduit, I'm planning on using water proof cable down the wall into the box. I've read that people have left this open and it has been...

I know there are options to use a Raspberry PI for a remote viewer and other options, but I can across this plugin for Plex. https://github.com/Cigaras/IPTV.bundle#playlist-structure-and-examples I was wondering if anyone has had any success with this? I've added the streams for my cameras...

Hi all, Getting one step closer to purchasing my first camera, will be going for DS-CD2342WD-I camera(s) and am looking at the following mount. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112074672907?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This bolts directly to the wall, so how do people...

Hi All, I've just bought the following TV box from Amazon and am seeing some strange behaviors from Plex. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01J5NEOCC/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_u-70xb5KTY65V 1) when playing some videos it will pause for a second and then the video will play at a faster rate, while the...

Hi All, I've been looking at getting an CCTV system and have been window shopping for a while, trying to decide on the equipment to get. The choice so far is as follows. NVR: Hikvision DS-7608 NI-E2/8P Thinking of getting this from Amazon with 2GB drive for now...

Hi, I've been lurking for a while now and initially thought about the HIKVision 76xx NVR's, but am now thinking of a more entry level system. The Hikvision DS-7108N-SN/P as the NVR. I initially thought that the 2MP limit on the streams would be a deal breaker, but thinking about it a full HD...

Hi All, I'm still playing with the setup before purchasing, will probably get some Hikvision dome cameras (DS-2CD3345) but would like a smaller one for right next to the front door.. Many Thanks, Paul.

Hi All, I'm looking for a bit of advice on my first Cam Setup, I just want a decent system to monitor the front/back/side with possible another camera at the door. I've been looking at the Hikvision DS-2Cx332-I cameras which would link to the Synology NAS I already have. Now I'm 90% sure this...
