    Any downsides to adding an IP Camera to a Hikvision NVR?

    Thanks, I'll plug the camera into the switch first, before I go running any cable. The NVR is a DS-7716NI-I4/16P 16-Channel 12MP 4K NVR, the one camera is a PTZ Hikvision OEM, the model # escapes me.

    Any downsides to adding an IP Camera to a Hikvision NVR?

    I want to add a few new cameras to my Hikvision NVR, but the wiring is problematic in a couple of cases. But if I go through the Attic I could run the Cat6 to my upstairs POE switch. I know I will use up a camera slot(s) on the NVR, but any other downsides, like bandwidth. I'm running a...

    My Hikvision NVR won't stop beeping

    Thanks! I found the misbehaving camera. Strangely it didn't shut up until I exited the menu. I rarely use the NVR directly, as it's too far away. LOL. The camera view actually shows the notification bell on the individual view screen. No idea why killing ALL notifications didn't fix this...

    My Hikvision NVR won't stop beeping

    I was playing with the configuration settings in the browser trying to get my NVR to send push notifications to Hik Connect on my phone, which never did work. This also 'seemed' to make my NVR beep incessantly, mostly related to motion events I think. I undid my changes, but the beeping...

    Hikvision AcuSense PCI-B18Z2S

    Thanks Alistair, The one location I have in mind has motion controlled lights, but it's based on an ISY994, so there is some delay. I could either leave the lights on or go with a motion controlled mini flood if more light is required. I'll likely stick with the original option for the other...

    Hikvision AcuSense PCI-B18Z2S

    Yes, a picture on eBay matches yours. What type of audio device works with this? I've seen the Hikvision Mic, but it's not terminated. I know, I can add a 3.5mm plug. I was actually looking for a more discrete Mic. I could buy a ColorVu with the built-in Mic, but this area is right beside the...

    Hikvision AcuSense PCI-B18Z2S

    Anyone have any experience with the Hikvision AcuSense PCI-B18Z2S camera? I gather it has a motorized lens, but it doesn't say so in the description, like it does for the non-IDS version. I know it's POE, but I don't see any pictures showing the actual connection. I saw a video of the non-IDS...

    Unsupported Stream Type

    I know this is basic, but I haven't added a camera in a while. I added an 8MP 2387C to my old NN7716, with Chinese firmware. I know it does not support H265 with it's current FW. I adjusted the resolution and changed the codec to H264. It still says unsupported Stream on the multi-screen...

    Exposing my Hikvision cameras to Alexa

    Alexa can see the cameras plugged into my Hikvision NVR, but it can't stream them of course. I was reading that I could plug my cameras into a POE switch directly and loopback the NVR and it should expose the cameras to Alexa without using Monocle. Anyone tried this? I guess I'll just move one...

    PTZIP204WX4IR camera mounting?

    OK, I found the manual in French with lots of pretty pictures. The answer is you can't get there from here.

    PTZIP204WX4IR camera mounting?

    I bought an ANPVIZ PTZIP204WX4IR a while back with the mount. The mounting bracket on the camera is a disk that mounts to the wall mount with two screws (not supplied). Then the camera inserts onto the mounting disk and rotates to attach it to the disk on the wall mount. But there does not seem...

    can I set my Hikvision NVR to record pre and post motion events?

    Way back when I used to record my cameras form a PC interface card with Averrmedia software. I think. I could set how many seconds to record before a motion event and how many seconds to record after a monition event. Setting up masking and motion sensitivity was also much simpler than it is...

    IVMS 4200 causing my PC to spontaneously shutdown

    My IVMS 4200 has not worked for a while, so I uninstalled it, repaired the registry and reinstalled the latest version. Wow the picture quality is so much better than logging into the NVR and it is very responsive. My custom view won't load for now, but at least it's working. But, the PC...

    Hikvision new camera frustration

    Thanks. Yes I had to plug it into my POE switch and activate it. I don't remember having to do this originally, but that was quite a while ago.

    Hikvision new camera frustration

    I added a new camera to my NVR after quite some time. The wiring frustration was bad enough, but at least the cable passed. I plug the new camera into NVR and it starts beeping right away about an IP conflict. I tried changing the IP for my failed Amcrest add, but this did not solve my problem...

    Hi, can you help me out with Alistair's post, my NVR has been getting flakey lately, so I want to update the firmware. I'm familiar with the USB TTS interface and telnet, but extracting and modifying the mtdblock1 is a mystery to me. How do I go about extracting this block and will it be...

    My Foscam FI9821W is trying to commit suicide

    I was in the garage getting the recycling ready when I heard this jittering noise. It took me a minute to locate it, at first I thought the mice had acquired motorized artillery. It was my Foscam PTZ camera trying to twist it's head off. I haven't accessed this camera in a while, so no idea why...

    Error 25544 IVMS 4500

    My IVMS quit working a while back, so I just switched to using the Web Server on my NVR. This was great until the PC died, so I decided to try IVMS on my phone until I get the PC parts. Everything loaded OK, until I got error 25544 on Live View, which I can't find anywhere. I asked Hikvision...

    IVMS-4200 not working

    My IVMS-4200 has stopped displaying my cameras. This seemed to happen after a power failure, but I have no idea why. I seem to be logged in and I can still view my cameras in the local browser. Any ideas?

    Hikvision live view not working when accessed on browser

    OK, so Live View was working in Chrome in an IE browser extension. Then the NVR got reset and it all stopped working. I checked the NVR and it was alive, but had a popup menu showing. So I closed the popup and confirmed the network address. I was getting the page is unreachable. I launched...

    Hikvision DS-7716N-E4 deleting camera info

    OK, my issue was actually related to my Recording settings. Changing them to 1080p has it working for now, although I have much more to investigate. I can actually see my cameras in the browser, once i figured out where to put the encryption password. Only one camera was showing up on my phone...

    HIkvision DS-7716N-E4/16P Firmware upgrade please

    Hi, I have a Chinese HIkvision DS-7716N-E4 with Firmware V3.4.6 build 160405. All of the menus are in English, but I know the firmware can't be upgraded, as the vendor warned against it and there are no upgrades available in the interface.

    Hikvision DS-7716N-E4 deleting camera info

    Yep, I unplugged my test cameras to move them to the real world, not realizing that they remembered where home was. I just assumed that since they were 'Plug and Play' the NVR would reassign them. Silly me. I did not want to go to all the trouble of running Cat6 through the house if my original...

    Hikvision DS-7716N-E4 deleting camera info

    Thanks, I read about this in another post where someone had moved all of his cameras to a POE switch and suffered the same fate as me. I believe he had to use SADP to find the camera's internal IP and then use 'Manual' in the camera configuration screen to match the NVR IP to the correct camera...

    Hikvision DS-7716N-E4 deleting camera info

    Hi, I purchased this NVR over a year ago and had it setup on my workbench with 9 cameras for a while. I finally got around to installing some of the cameras recently. When I fired up the 7716 it went through the setup wizard again, although it did remember the admin password. Fortunately I had...
