Hi, Thank you for your reply. In my mind the only reason considering the AcuSense NVR was added reliability, as mentioned I've always had problems with false alarms and thought perhaps an NVR with AcuSense would be better, but if the technology is already built into my cameras perhaps it is a...

Current System: One Hikvision DS-7608NI-Q2/8P NVR Five Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2-L Cameras Looking to replace my current system due to age and also because it has developed a new bug that I don’t want to deal with anymore. Last one started occurring a week ago where the system appears to...

I've had these guys in my house for years, nothing new. I'll be updating some more fun stuff soon. By the way, that last camera that went out last Wednesday has magically started working again. Going to give it some time, maybe a week. Stay turned. :nervous:

Looks like good stuff, I may try it! Thanks

Crack on one of the cameras was off to one side and was out of view of lens, so not recorded, the reason I found out about it was after a rain storm the image fogged up due to water getting inside. How long it was like that? My guess it happen between two to three weeks after the last lens...

Hi Tony, I use Sprayway ammonia free glass cleaner sold at HomeDepot, the temperature thing I'm just picking at straws. While I was writing this my wife, who's sitting right behind me tells me to look at the security monitor and sure enough I got another F-ing security camera out! Dam It...

Why ONLY distilled water? I know some glass cleaners have ammonia that may have bad effects on some surfaces but not on glass. Cleaner I use has no ammonia. Just curious why distill water only?

Got six Hikvision DS-2CD2087G2-L Cameras and two of them developed a crack. Lucky for me it happened under warranty so they were replaced (Thank you Hikvision). Wondering if anyone else has had this problem? One thing that may have caused this is the way I clean the cameras, which is spray some...

FIXED!! Plastic inserts worked! Checked main service panel and sub panel and found nothing out of the ordinary, so it’s still a bit of a mystery why I was getting voltages between camera and NVR when camera was mounted using stucco screws. Anyway all is looking good and i wish to thank everyone...

Hi mat200, I've thought of a PoE switch but I'm not quite done with trying other options. I'll be taking the camera down again today, so I can run a few more test. If all goes well I'll reinstall, only this time I'm going to use plastic inserts as isolators, which I hope will eliminate my...

Well it took a week!!!! I just looked at my monitor this morning and that same cameras is out! Looked at back of NVR and the yellow and green network lights are out. I did the same routine of disconnecting and reconnecting cable from NVR and camera with the same negative results. I think at this...

That's too easy, try multidimensional wall space :smoking:

So it’s been a few days and everything seems to working fine. Going over things I did find one thing that may be a problem. First I must explain that my home was built in the 50’s so most of the outlets are two wire with no ground, which I found the NVR is connected too (outlet was three prong...

I'll be giving it a look see soon, I'm just glad it's working and definitely going to track this down. Thanks

UP DATE! IT'S WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How I got it to work is all theory and speculation. But first I'll tell you I went back to square one taking the camera down, bringing inside, testing, and doing what everyone had suggested with ZERO results. Tugging, crimping wires, net work test, cable...

Just giving an update I'll be removing camera a doing more testing shortly. Got family matter to attend too but want let everyone know I will be following your suggestions. Figures crossed!

At this point friend, it's the only thing that makes sense :secret:

Will be checking out your suggestion, got to be something simple I'm sure. Again Thank you and I'll keep everyone posted if I find the answer!!!

Hi, as you can see in the picture the wires coming through the wall are the camera wire connections, they are straight and no pressure or tightness applied to them, the blue CAT6 cable wire is only six feet long and connected to the NVR (In total I've used five different cables ready made and...

Sorry for the delay but I got more pressing things going on. Answer to your first question is yes it's the same type of cable I've been using through out my system, and yes all it is a cable that goes through the wall from the outside same hole into the room (per picture provided) NVR is four...

I've got five working cameras and this is the sixth problem child. The other cable are routed in other directions into my attic and garage. Yes I have the right cables. Hikvision DS-7608NI-Q2/8P I've had it for over five plus years. I agree, Doubt it's EMF or EMI but if not what. I also failed...

This doesn't happen over time, you know immediately, it either works or it doesn't, again it only happens when mounted in it's permanent location and not when I have camera in my hands and connecting indoors in office. You know camera is going to work when you plug it in and the security light...

Yup! Been there done that! Thanks and Glad to be here!!

I've made two DIY cables and ready made cables. Hard to believe that all five cables would be bad. I've also tried switching inputs on NVR and used different cameras with same results. It's down right maddening but not giving up, something is causing this and I'm determined to find out what it...

Hello everyone, I came here for one reason that I'm guessing will be one for the record books. Problem: Camera works find as long as it's not in it's permanent location. Where is the location you ask? I've got the camera mounted on a metal junction box on an outside wall, I cut a hole through...
