    Adding IP Cams "on the network" vs "direct-to-NVR"

    Hi all, I've been using an 8ch HIKVISION Turbo HD DVR's for a long while now, and my particular model allows up to additional 2 cameras that are on the same LAN as the DVR (currently HVV door entry access panel and monitor). So my 8-ch coax DVR can actually take 10-ch in total. I'm...

    DS-2CE17U8T crashes when selecting WDR/menu sluggish

    Hi all, OK so not an IP camera, but I have this camera connected to my HV 4K DVR via baluns, along with 6 other cameras using the same method without issue. But with this latest camera, the menu option is sluggish, having to press the directional arrows several times before it reacts. If I...

    Ready to upgrade DVR?

    Hi, I have a Hikvision 7208HQHI Turbo 2mp DVR for home use for a while now, happy with it, coax installed and concealed perfectly with access to power for each camera. I also have a gigabit switch at home, access to PoE switch, 100mb broadband. I used to run a couple of IP cameras over the...

    Hikvision Villa Door Station - voice playback on alarm input

    Hi, I have got the DS-KV8X02-IM metal door station and DS-KH8301-WT 7" indoor station working perfectly for my home. I also have a Turbo DVR with alarm I/O, currently use a GJD PIR to trigger an "event recording" to an assigned camera. This has given me 100% reliability in filtering out false...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    When I switch on my 18vac psu, the chime sounds once. This suggests that the chime had detected a sudden voltage increase that then triggered the chime. In my case, frequent rebooting (due to dodgy firmware) will cause the chime to sound when booted up, perhaps when sufficient power is applied...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    Exactly that. Though since then I installed the LTS FW. So far, it randomly shuts down wifi and re-connects, and each this happens, the door bell rings - lost count how many times the wife had to put the telly on pause to answer to a phantom visitor! It's only 4m to the router. Can't wait for a...

    Hikvision output to digital door chime

    On my test bench, the chime did ring by itself once, but the doorbell didn’t activate and therefore nothing came through on phone. Also, there is a bit of humming on chime, perhaps overdriving the chime with more than 12vac could be the culprit. Not fitted it yet as the extension work hasn’t...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    SUCCESS! Used Fat32Formatter to force the card to format into FAT32, then the firmware upgrade worked - I'm now testing as we speak! Thanks all for your help - I'll try it out before upgrading to LTS FW.

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    Found that a later fw, mine is 20170510, says that is supports QR scanning, so maybe this is the issue. However, I try to add the dav file to the root of a SanDisk Extreme 64GB XC I I Class 3 Micro SD and it doesn't seem to do anything - no voice to say it's upgrading or not, so not sure if the...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    Tried all these methods, in darkness I put the phone’s brightness all the way up and then down, moved the phone in all directions and still doesn’t recognise the qr code. Sounds like the doorbell only attempts to connect to a router once the qr code is detected and attempts to use the...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    Thanks, Pilot, I tried that also. Please can you describe the order in which things happen? In my mind, it’s as follows: 1) turn on doorbell and wait for blue and red flashing light 2) Generate a qr code on phone (2.4ghz WiFi network) based on ssid and password. Present to the doorbell whilst...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    But that's assuming that the doorbell is connected to the wi-fi first? Forgive me if I'm not understanding - should the doorbell just connect to your default 2.4Ghz network during the "Start configuring Wi-Fi" process, and then you authorise the doorbell to the network afterwards with your SSID...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    Can't reset it - after 5 secs it just keeps saying "Start configuring Wi-Fi", can hold for longer still but nothing happens, looks like it hasn't been set up before, otherwise the 15s rest comes into play.

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    Well I've wired it all up and it works! However I'm stuck configuring the camera to my Hik-connect app - whether I scan the QR or manually type in the serial number (whilst the button is flashing red/blue and the voice prompt "Start configuring Wi-Fi" is heard) I get "The device does not exist"...

    I looked at the chime you received from toolstation, but I can’t see any mention that it runs off 12v? Can you confirm that is the same chime you have?

    Hikvision output to digital door chime

    I have one of the new hikvision WiFi doorbells in the UK, and as we don’t have 16v-24vac chimes in this country, I am having a challenge in finding a solution for a chime. Has anyone found a solution to trigger some sort of digital chime using the output of a hikvision DVR? So when the dvr...

    Copex, since the above quote, how has this setup been for you...has it been stable without any problems? My doorbell arrived today and I need a chime, whatever happens, otherwise it's useless to me unless they bring out a wi-fi chime like the Ring.

    Hikvision 2132F-IS - resolution drops when alarm triggered

    Correction - both cameras are set to continuous recording. The 2132F has an alarm input that triggers the recording for the SAME camera, whereas the 2532F-IS actually triggers recording for a different camera. Maybe this has something to do with it.

    Hikvision 2132F-IS - resolution drops when alarm triggered

    Hi All, I have two I cameras from Hikvision, 2132F-IS and a 2532F-IS. Both cameras are set to 3mp 1500 res, but the 2532F-IS is set to continuous recording on a Hikvision 7208HGHI-SH/A Turbo DVR, and the 2132F-IS recording on PIR alarm input. All is well until the alarm is triggered and the...

    Remotely managing DVR from mobile browser possible?

    Live view is fine but i am referring to Managing the DVR via the web browser (Safari, Chrome, etc) as you would from a desktop: 7208HGHI-SH/A is my DVR. So things like camera configuration, rebooting, setting alarm schedule, etc

    Can't add IP camera - DVR says Offline "(the user is locked)"

    Thank god i wasn't the only one! Your theory sounds plausible and will bear this in mind. The DVR is only compatible up to 2mp anyway so this won't be a problem
