During playback I'm getting a hcnetsdk.dll error code 800. The video goes black. The player continues to function, meaning the time continues to roll, if there are other cameras playing in the view, they will continue to display normally. This may be happening when the file ends. Like it...

Okay, I think I know what you're talking about... the nvr browser will actually stream to a 4x4 grid of cameras in one browser tab. An improvement over the older nvr's? I imagine improvements in router technology is a big help too. I have a cheap HooToo camera connected to my router (its not...

Thanks to you both for the replies :) @fenderman, what did you mean by "You can also stream from the NVR but too much load will cause issues?" Isn't streaming the only way to watch live? You aren't supposed to do that? I've been leaving live feeds on continuous. What kinds of "issues" will...

Below is my setup. After plugging in my cameras with plug and play turned on, I noticed that all my cameras are on a different subnet(?) than my network. My network is 192.168.2.x, mask 255.255.255.0 All the cameras are on 192.168.254.x, same mask. I can get into the camera guis okay by...

Is there any way to get more than 4x fast forward speed on the web gui? It seems like there should be. I prefer the web gui as it has some advantages to the NVR gui. Still, it lacks many features that the NVR gui has. I had intended to connect the NVR to my television (52" LED). I have my...

BTW, I just noticed that my nsc-204-bt camera housings don't match the picture on your site. My cameras look more like the nsc-202-bt.

Thanks for that explanation. I feel better. I had been holding off on updating my cameras because of the uncertainty. I'll go ahead and upgrade. My cameras have 5.3.3 and you have 5.3.6 on your site (204). While we are on the subject, there is absolutely no difference between the...

I have a XC-7616NI-E2 / 8P NVR. The firmware version says it's V3.4.1 build 160419 in the web gui. I went to Nelly's website and the highest firmware version for this device only goes to v3.3.6. I discovered the same thing on the Hikvision USA website. So why would my NVR be flashed with a...

I was mostly concerned about the camera itself being weather proof. I know they're considered "outdoor." But I can't remember seeing specifics on rain exposure. Can you confirm that they are rain proof? The reset button on the back was the part that looks vulnerable.

You weren't the only one ;) Yes, client is the part giving me problems too. You're saying setting up a CA and issuing certificates isn't necessary? I thought that was the whole point. My understanding is that the CA authenticates the public keys. May I infer, from your claim that they...

I'm going through the same thing at the moment. Setting up a VPN on an RT-N66U (on the advice of nayr). Yes, it is that simple! Open a connection, and your connection is secure. Data transmitted is secure. However, be aware... I've seen several people thinking they were secure after...

I know what you mean. I see this all the time with Chinese products. While many are quite acceptable, the vast number of products that get most everything just right, only to fail on one (or two) small, simple and inexpensive corrections to make a really good product. The HooToo cameras I...

@PSPCommOp, that's a good idea. I was thinking about a dollop of silicone, not filled, just sitting over the opening.

Before I decided to buy a real surveillance system, I bought three HooToo 211's. They were pretty crappy. Had lots of problems with them and the web interface absolutely sucks! However, most of the problems I had were due to being wireless. Lose a signal and they go through a reset that...

Is this an "official" Nelly's support channel? I just received my system. H-Series 16ch/8p nvr and 4-204 bullet cams. Very pleased so far! I noticed the cameras come with little weather proof cups for the NIC connection. Great idea. So, I was wondering... what do you recommend for...

I'm using dd-wrt on a Asus RT-n66u router. I don't see the camera in the dd-wrt client list. The router/network is setup for DHCP. However, I have a cheap HooToo IP cam I bought before getting my new system setup (only on the camera side) as a fixed IP. I don't have the router setup yet to...

For the record... "I didn't go off the handle" as you put it. I wasn't "defending myself." I was trying to clarify what I was asking and pointing out that your response didn't answer the question. You seem to keep wanting to make this about the advice you gave. I didn't ask for advice at...

I don't know what to say, but I'll try :) Did you not read where I said, "I appreciate the concern?" I'm sorry if my "appreciation" of your advice wasn't sufficient. It's wonderful when a boy scout helps the little old lady across the street.... if she asks. Really? It can't be analog AND...

Thank you @fenderman. I realize what del boy is saying. But your explanation isn't the way he put it. He reponded to the OP, "read the whole advert". Next post, he said "it's self-explanatory". Self-explanatory means it is syntactically correct... that red is red. Blue is blue. Not red is...

With all due respect, I don't find it self-explanatory at all. I find it contradictory. At best, it's ambiguous. TVL is tv lines. "p" stands for progressive scan. My thinking is "TVL" must be analog (tv). Maybe it can be digital too? Nothing I've read indicates it can be digital. Not...

I saw that. It's exactly what I'm asking. I always thought nnnP was digital. And "TVL" was analog. Where am I in error?

I'm looking for a cheapo IP camera with IR cut, without leds, POE onvif to connect to my nvr. Found several possible candidates on aliexpress, but they spec out the "TVL". I thought TVL was only used for analog cameras? I don't remember seeing that on my Hikvision 4mp cameras. For example...

^ This Price is good. I thought people here recommended against Domes? Or is that not considered a dome? I was planning on external illumination. Especially with the top-201's. Are the exposure settings in their firmware inadequate for external illumination? I've seen various versions...

Setting up a VPN is easy? That's not my experience. I managed to get dd-wrt flashed to my Asus rt-n66u. Been reading for the last two days how to set up the VPN. I find all the steps a pain in the ass. Is there a short, "easy" version somewhere? Am I missing something? Download the...

"Mortar" is probably not a good name, but I'm looking for some cameras to "fill in the cracks" of my system. Small, not so significant areas where I'd like coverage, but not at $150/each. I'm excited to be getting my first system, scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I ordered 4 4MP bullet...

@doretau, Already ordered my system today. No junction boxes. I bought a 1000' of bulk direct burial/UV resistant cable, so exposure to the elements won't be an issue. Tube of silicone caulk is cheaper than boxes :)

My bad! I thought H-Series WAS Dahua. Steven at Nelly's just corrected me. Hikvision. I'm going with all H-series. The entire system is what Steven recommended based on his interview.

Can the dome cameras be mounted vertically on the wall?

Well... I WAS going to go with the bullet, but we do have an abundance of spiders and wasps here... In light of fenderman's tip I'm not so sure. 4MP Eyesurv, 16 channel H-series NVR

@doretau, I spoke with Steven at Nelly's this morning. He was super helpful. Answered a slew of questions, then again when I emailed him another slew of questions I'd forgotten to ask. I got a personal quote from him. The price quoted was a little less than published on their site. I'm...
