Ok after some failed firmware upgrades on the cameras, the recent camera is not working using H.265. Perhaps it just needed a couple of reboots... Now to try the older one. Thanks for the help. Rob

I've got the Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P which explicitly supports H.265. Are you using non-Hik cameras?

I searched for h.265 ONVIF support and release notes claim it was included since 2.6.1 in Dec 2015. My recent Dahua is 16.12... Checked the release notes for the recently released HIK NVR firmware, states it supports H.265 new in that release but then the ONVIF protocol is only 2.5.0. Very old...

Really? I thought ethernet used all 4. At least gigabit which the cameras aren't but they are plugged into a gigabit switch. Interesting option but I guess it needs to bypass the switch? It's a nice to have but sounds too hard given my setup, going to put it in the too hard basket

One has an ONVIF Version of 2.42! Room for improvement there! The other 16.12 which is better but still not recent. Will look for firmware updates, thanks for the link

Ahhh. I did update the NVR firmware recently but no idea if it included H.265 but sure it wouldn't be included that quickly? Plus, wouldn't the cameras need to be updated as well?

Ok, I think I have it working at the full res but I'm not completely happy still. I dropped the codec back to H264H and had to turn SMART codec to on. I had tried H264 before but not whatever SMART codec is to on. Thing is, the PVR can do H265 and I'd prefer to use the more efficient codec but...

The ODM software logs in fine and gets a lot of the initial stats ok in the top pane, it actually shows a preview of the video. So there's some form of communication but not from the lower panel section in the ODM software. I saw in the Hik settings an option to enable/disable ONVIF but not in...

Thanks for recommending the software, very cool kit and fast! When I click on the Hik camera and select the Live video or Video streaming options, I get the video stream and all the details but for the two Dahua's I just get 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'. Mean...

Ok, I've got some of those but no idea how I'd get a cable run from where I'd put the PIR to the NVR! I pre planned ethernet cables for the cameras when I did a reno at the front but not for further cables... Can alarm signals be sent over the network? I've got cbus home automation which has a...

I have a Hikvision NVR (DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P) with 4 cams currently, 2 of them display their main streams at their max resolutions fine (one is a Hik and the other a non-name cheapy) but the two Dahua's only show their sub streams as options at lower res's. If I view them directly via their web...

^^^I'm also interested in understanding how this works!!!^^^

I'm keen but how do I do this? Thanks, Rob

Thanks. I'll roll the dice and give it a go. The batch tool says I have the right chip...

My model name doesn't show up in the batch tool or in the IE configuration. Batch tool does state the Chip as Am_S2Lm. I bought this one https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/7989738777.html?orderId=77472280378516&productId=32583148851 So it looks like it's the right model but annoying the...

^^ Exactly! Can't just make that statement and not expect the request for detail!

The camera will work through the iVMS mobile app without a NVR. Does for me.

How is anyone supposed to know this? Pretty damn hidden. Is there a manual to this thing?

I haven't got it working through any iOS apps yet, have tried a number of them. Don't have an Android so can't use Tiny Cam. I have it saving to FTP on a NAS but I haven't used the in camera features like motion detection etc yet to test how well it operates standalone.

Ahhhh. What's special about preset 95? Does this apply for start up?

I don't have Preset anywhere in the menus. I'm more likely to rethink the camera than the location, network cable is rendered into the wall. Once it's on the motion range is fine for what I need. Is there a firmware upgrade I should do? Thanks, Rob

I searched for max PTZ settings but nothing. I will probably give a go moving it manually but would prefer to know if anyone else has been the guinea pig already... Thanks, Rob

Also is there an app that can view these cameras directly? iOS?

Alright have it set up on my wall but it's in a recess which means it bumps into the wall if it tries to fully rotate, especially if it's looking horizontally rather than down. After doing it's start-up movements and hitting the wall, it no longer wants to rotate fully right which is exactly...

Ok thanks, makes sense, I wondered what the different voltages were. 48v is POE and the device itself must down convert the voltage to 12v. Can feed 12v over POE but 12v won't go as far as 48v. Is that roughly right?

I grabbed one recently and it came with the external POE (splitter?). The external POE is massive, not something you can discreetly hide away, at least in my situation which is on a rendered wall that has the cabled embedded in the wall. There are smaller versions on ebay, something like this...

I have one and when I originally looked at it I remember it was pretty clear that you can't save to your own storage. We have live view working on ours but we have it wired into to power, perhaps they don't allow it on battery? Agree that the motion detection is hit and miss. Do get a lot of...

What did you do to get it to work and what is the target space? NAS, PC?

I was able to set up a quota but that still didn't work. Seems I can't edit my current volume and add a new one, so that's a no go. I'll try FTP when I get some time

Doesn't seem like it wants to give me the option to add an additional volume using the spare space. I have a Synology NAS running DSM 6. I'll try to get FTP working
