Over time, I did upgrade the FW on my NVR, but usually to the latest version, sometime skipping intermediate versions, especially if a long time elapsed since the last upgrade. Is version-skipping OK or should I religiously go through every released version since the last upgrade? I sort of...

Cabling between IP cameras and NVR is Ethernet 8 wires. Commands go from NVR to Camera and data goes from Cameras to NVR, supposedly on different wires. Is there a link showing the content of the command and data packets that are traveling on the cable? For example, are Main stream and Sub...

I have not seen this issue when searching the forum, so here it goes: I currently have four cameras using H264+ encoding and three cameras using H264 encoding. When I remote view the cameras in IE11, with WebVideoActiveX.ocx version 3.0.6.10 "manually" loaded, full screen display shows the...

Setup: NVR is DS-7608NI-E2 / 8P, FW 3.4.98 build 171121 with 7 cameras. Four of the cameras are in H264+ mode. While connecting to the NVR remotely (via OpenVPN), I can see playback videos of all the cameras, but I cannot view the main-stream, real-time videos of the four H264+ cameras (I can...

All, Two questions on two very different subjects. Lens change: I have searched this forum and found many threads about this subject but I cannot find a final statement about whether or not a new lens should incorporate an IR filter. Should it or should it not? My thought is that having an IR...

I'm trying to get my Hikvision cameras (attached to a NVR, itself attached to an ASUS router) to store their footage on a NAS hard disk attached to an ASUS AC-RT68U router. The cameras are asking for a server address and a file path. See image below for the fields and what I entered. I believe...

I just added a new Hikvision turret camera on my NVR (DS-7608NI-E2/8P, V3.4.98 build 171121). In the TV output, the camera's video displays fine in the single screen mode, but **DOES NOT** display in any of the multiple screen modes. In these modes, all I get is the “NO LINK”message where the...

NVR: Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P NVR (FW V3.4.92 build 170518). All attached cameras are also Hikvision. After recently upgrading the NVR FW to V3.4.92, I can no longer login to the cameras via WAN (I can via LAN), even though virtual host is enabled. Typing <NVR_WAN_IP_address>:6500X no longer...

I am trying (unsuccessfully so far) to implement a HTTPS certificate in my NVR, model DS-7608NI-E2 / 8P with FW version 3.3.6. I have read several posts on this forum, including one by rommycam describing the steps needed for that implementation, but his approach does not work for me. Unlike...

I recently flashed my home router with new firmware, then did my standard port-forward (82 and 8000) to allow me external monitoring of my Hikvision NVR (I am looking at a VPN later, but that’s another story). After port forwarding, I received new IP addresses from my ISP and I can (again)...

The graphics below is meant as a helpful starting point for new installations and is based on my personal installation and on several forum posts, both from long-time and experienced members and from other posts showing the difficulties that some have encountered in their own setup. Note that...

I am using a mix of 3MP (2332) and 4MP (2342) cameras on a 7106 NVR. The two problems with such a mix are evident when displaying -say- a 2 x 2 setup. In 2 x 2, each quadrant is optimized for the 4:3 aspect ratio of the 3MP cameras, so the 16:9 aspect ratio of the 4MP camera looks horizontally...

First post here... I just replaced a 2332 (2.8mm, FW V5.2.5 build 141201) with a 2342 (2.8mm, FW V5.3.3 build 150826). Reason for the replacement was higher resolution, more MP, and slightly wider FOV at max resolution. However, I am disappointed with the resolution of the 2342 as shown in the...
