    Hikvision NVR how to name ONVIF cameras?

    I have a DS-9664-NI running 4.22 firmware. The NVR is for a mixture of Hikvision cameras and existing ONVIF compatible cameras. I don't necessarily need the camera names overlaid on the image (like I can do with the Hikvision cameras), but I need to at least be able to NAME the ONVIF cameras so...

    US taking aim at Hikvision/Dahua?

    I’m small time, but I do install a couple of hundred cameras a year.

    US taking aim at Hikvision/Dahua?

    So... I think my question is if Hik/Dahua get blacklisted is there any manufacturer out there y’all would stand behind? I’ve been installing Hik IP cameras for probably 10 years. I’ve sampled other makes, but never found anyone I liked in the same price bracket. Axis is great, but my customers...

    Hikvision 7608NI-I2/8P PoE failed?

    Yup. That's what I was thinking too, but Hikvision just gave me the standard "setup an RMA"...

    Hikvision 7608NI-I2/8P PoE failed?

    So... Hikvision told me to setup an RMA, which I may do. Out of a bit of desperation I TFTP restored the firmware on both of them to 4.1.64. Lo and behold one of the two now has functioning PoE ports! The other, I'm pretty sure must have a board issue. I'm going to keep tinkering and see if I...

    Hikvision 7608NI-I2/8P PoE failed?

    Due to the cameras all previously being powered by a separate PoE switch, I don’t have a definitive answer on whether firmware upgrade triggered. I do plan on reaching out to Hikvision tomorrow, they tend to be pretty good, but I find they also often just want to have you repeat the same...

    Hikvision 7608NI-I2/8P PoE failed?

    All genuine US. I don’t buy anything grey market these days after I got burned once on the CN problem a few years ago. Also, even if it was something along those lines it would make sense that it would at least power the camera, see it’s region mismatched and then it would complain. No power...

    Hikvision 7608NI-I2/8P PoE failed?

    Brand new, official Hikvision cameras. I’ve tried some 2345’s, among others. Cameras also set to factory default.

    Hikvision 7608NI-I2/8P PoE failed?

    They were, but I’ve already reset to factory default, so all settings are back to out of the box original, including PoE settings and the port settings under camera management.

    Hikvision 7608NI-I2/8P PoE failed?

    Definitely the right firmware version. Just trying to add now and previously had all cameras run on separate PoE switches, just trying to consolidate some things.

    Hikvision 7608NI-I2/8P PoE failed?

    I have two 7608NI-I2 that appear to have blown PoE. I have factory reset them both, have double-checked that the PoE ports are enabled under Camera Management, etc. I get a brief blip of the power/activity lights on the PoE ports when it first powers on, but otherwise not a thing. Both are...

    Hikvision IPC Firmware 5.5.0 - released 24 Sept 2017

    I'm having a nightmare with a new DS-2CD2143G0-I. It was behaving strangely (weird live view issues, etc), so tried to upgrade the firmware (was on 5.5.53. It failed to complete the upgrade to 5.5.61. I attempted several different TFTP recoveries, all failed. Some I would get "Receive data ACK...

    Hikvision camera admin password reset tool

    Louiseliu007 Is my new best friend. If you need a reset, hit him up on Skype. I had a 2CD2342 turret with a forgotten password. I was reset with less than 20 minutes from contact request to happiness. Thank you, thank you, thank you Louise!

    Looking for ONVIF encoder recommendations...

    I've got a camera on all of those right now, but the lighting usually makes impossible to see the screen (gets washed out). Also, unfortunately the POS doesn't have an NVR overlay mode. I'm going to pick up an analog invitation encoder from grandstream and I'll report back my experience. Thanks...

    Looking for ONVIF encoder recommendations...

    I'm definitely looking for a solution to use for auditing employees ringing. While I can pull up tickets on the backend it's always a lot more convincing to everyone involved if I can pull the video of what a bartender pours simultaneously to what they then ring.

    Looking for ONVIF encoder recommendations...

    I'm looking for an ONVIF encoder to allow adding a live-feed of an iOS POS solution to our Hikvision NVR. I figure I can utilize the built-in mirroring over either a lightning-to-VGA or lightning-to-HDMI adapter to an ONVIF encoder. I've shopped around a bit and found some encoders really aimed...
