Just to say (some years later) That I have found a somewhat silly solution to this. Whilst the camera and NVR both refuse to send a notification to Hik-Connect despite the option being checked, the NVR will activate an alarm output dry contact on anpr. So I've chosen for the anpr to activate...

Hi, just thought I'd mention there is a really simple IE plugin for chrome which runs webcomponents just fine. Functionality is perfect on my similarly geriatric NVR through chrome with the plug-in. https://www.make-it.ca/hikvision-compatibility-fix/ Makes life a lot simpler.

Nope, bollocks, then it only records the substream. Why the he'll is this software so shite?

OK all, I have resolved the problem, for me at least. I think a firmware update at some stage must have fiddled with a setting that I had never previously seen. Using the Web interface of my nvr onsite, I went into the area where we chose the bit rate, quality, framerate etc. of the...

Although as I only get a problem in playback mode - which comes from the nvr and not the camera then I'm not very hopeful that a cam reset is going to do much... But I will try.

Good work Erwin, well done and thanks for letting us know. I will try it next time I am on site. But I should mention that the one camera I have left recording at full res is the only one I get the error on now, all the others I set to record at a reduced raand that hence streams OK when in...

Hello, you may be right. I never got any more info on the code. But I have stopped using ipcamviewer on smartphone to view the cameras and I have not received the error code again. However the problem that occurred when the error code showed is still present... Basically I can't use the playback...

If you have a fixed ip address or a corking dyndns then on android ip CAMVIEWER Pro works perfectly for viewing. I have been using it for maybe 5 years on my mobile including auto updating widgets and it's great. However if the Web connection of the cameras is not accessible from an external...

So far we can't really offer help, only company! Welcome to the 260015 club...

I've just got the latest firmware for the cameras and nvr downloaded from the seller in China and will be installing them tomorrow pm. But things are complicated by the fact that I am using a standard 4g sim in a modem to supply Internet, so that could potentially be the cause of problems if the...

I've got nothing at all on WiFi so...

Good morning Rotation, Did you figure it out? I get the same error code when I try to use playback in hik-connect. Liveview works and playback works when it autostarts from midnight, but as soon as I enter a specific time it fails to load and throws your error. 260015. Come back and update us...

Nobody came back to say if they were happy with Hofotech? I hate looking like an advertiser or a muppet. I hope to hear good stories. I'm just about to make an order of ten cameras to go with the 4 I already ordered and the NVR. Everything is working well, except the HDMI output from the NVR...

Cool, Do let us all know how you get on with them and the camera. Regards, Tom.

Hi Argupta, my cameras are all working perfectly. They are international versions in international packaging (red and white boxes). I have done no firmware mods, I have no flicker/screen white/black problems. All I can say is that I am happy, and that I will be purchasing from them again. Get in...

Assumption is bad, agreed! But as the image is displayed in perfect 16:9 format, and a round thing appears round, that means whatever shaped pixels they are they representing the world mostly accurately. And if that is the case then the vertical angle of view has to be locked to the horizontal...

Hello Aster1x, Sorry, but I stuck them up on walls just after taking the measurements. Can you not calculate the vertical angles by simply using the 16:9 ratio on the horizontal angles measured? It kind of has to work assuming that things are going to be seen in their correct proportions. So...

Hi, if you read the thread, you would see that I set out trying to get reliable FOV angles from the web and this forum... and failed! So, I purchased the three of these cams, one in each of 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm lens length (plus a similar variable zoom camera for fun). I set them each up in a...

Right, as promised, I am back. DS-2CD2342WD-I International packaging and firmware, running in full 2688x1520 resolution Horizontal angle of view or FOV: 2.8mm = 105° 4mm = 81° 6mm = 55° For anyone interested, I ordered my NVR and cams from Hofotech in China (sales15@hofotech.com guy called...

OK, I've given up and placed an order with a Chinese supplier for an NVR DS-7716NI-E4/16P one of each 2.8mm, 4mm and 6mm DS-2CD2342WD-I, and a single varifocal DS-2CD2642FWD-I. Delivery is 2-3 weeks. But when I get them I will be back with some reliable FOV angles... it might help someone...

Razer, thanks for the pic. I appreciate that it is difficult to post shots. Could you confirm that this comes from a 2342 with 2.8mm lens? FOV is clearly over 90° but as the cam is heavily inclined towards the floor it is difficult to judge by how much.... but it seems to reinforce info I got...

If it was just the one camera, I would do exactly that. But I've got to cover a building I've just bought which big - I'm trying to plan the install of probably a dozen cameras. I will need a mix of lens lengths... and I thought that asking the question here I'd have a load of people with these...

I should add that using the calculator with a 1/3" sensor gives:2.8mm=81° 4mm=62° 6mm=44° Using it with 1/2.5" gives: 1.8mm=92° 4mm=72° 6mm=51° Which if you compare to those listings I've already found around the web... don't match any!! So I now have at least 5 sets of figures to chose from!!

Thanks for that Kawboy. The site is great, lots of fun! But I find it hard basing such a big investment on the idea that the sensor is 1/2.5" rather than 1/3" as advertised. I'm sure you're right... but that's not to say it goes for all their cameras... I would find it easier to believe if they...

I know that people have talked about FOV, and I know that calculators exist mostly for photography, but they depend on other information like EXACT sensor size etc. which I am not sure we have (1/3" is very approximate). I simply want the correct figures for this precise camera as I can't plan...

I would never have believed that such an elementary piece of information could be so hard to determine.

Hello all you knowledgeable folk, Can anyone help give me some definitive FOV angles for the 2.8, 4 and 6mm lenses on this cam? I have found 90°,60°,46° from use-IP.co.uk 106°,83°,X° from networkwebcams.co.uk X,69.9°,50° from a Chinese supplier I'm thinking of using; hofotech.com 106°, 83°...

Hello, anyone who finds time to read these introductions. I'm an end user, and self-installer, in France. Thats about that then! Cheers, Tom.
