I bought a system from B&H a few years back. 2 HIk cameras and a HIK NVR. The only real advantage to me, was that you could actually talk to Hikvision. I have not had to deal with warranty service on either NVR or my cameras. Hikvision support was helpful via email exchanges in a software issue...

I replaced mine with a Noctua fan back in October 2015.It made the unit almost silent. Yes the fan is built into the PSU but it was not difficult at all. And I did this while having paid full price from B&H so I could have mfg support. They have been helpful when setting up the cameras, IVMS on...

Did you do that to make it work as expected? Or was there some limitation to the inputs/outputs of your AVR that made you use a switch?

Thanks.. are any other users using an HDMI connection to a Smart TV / Receiver combo with CEC with an NVR?

Hope this is not an Off-Topic" post but it is an odd thing, rather long due to the explanation. I'd like to know if anyone else has had this happen. NVR stops functioning when connected via HDMI "CEC" to a Smart Sony TV and Denon Reciever. Gear: Hik NVR 8 port POE - 2 Hikvision cameras NEW...

I purchased from B&H. My post garnered at least one comment here intimating that I was foolish for paying full price. But that's the price you pay for being able to email Hikvision and have a Hikvision tech help me out more than a few times the past year and a Factory warranty. With B&H I pay no...

I would think that also, It was not a big expense to buy 2 pairs. I guess if you have 10 cameras, well then it could get pricey... In my case I never considered using a 2 into 1 scenario...

If your powerline adapters have more than one Ethernet port you could do that. Mine happen to have one port each.

Yes that is generally correct. I have mine generally setup in this manner: Front of house: Camera powered with 12v adapter ---> Ethernet cable into Powerline adapter with 8' extension cord plugged into an electrical outlet ......AC wiring...... Inside Family Room Now next to the NVR in my...

NO but that is an interesting idea. Im sure it could be done. I wonder if you could trigger a ITFTT app? I might give this some thought..

I've been using 2 pairs of TPlink Powerline adapters for about 1 1/2 years with no issues. The initial setup was a little kludgey if I recall. I had to run back and forth a few times between the router and the units in my garage. But since then they have worked without issue. I didn't see a...

I will buy bullets.

Thanks guys. I'm going in for 2 from the Alibaba link klasipca posted!....

(Newbie alert) Can I use these with my Hikvision NVR? as a generic IP camera? Those night shots.. I'd kill for that quality out of my 3mp Hikvisions... Dayam

I bought mine from B&H.

One last comment. Mine is a Warranted NVR purchased from B&H with a 3 year warranty. This is a fully reversible mod should warranty work ever be needed. That was a factor in my choice. Best of luck.

The Noctua comes with the new "lead" with the connector that you attach. It has multiple pin adapters as well for various applications. In my case with my Hikvision 7608 I: (running from memory here) Removed Case. Removed PSU cover Unscrewed Fan Unplugged it from PSU board. That is a little...

I did not notice that. I'll look. Everything seemed to be exactly the same. The PSU cover went back on. The screws went back into the PSU chassis. No difference that I recall. Except it's silent and the NVR has shown no ill effects of a different airflow. I think it flows equally as much if not...

FYI - The Noctua I installed fit perfectly.

That was me. It was 14.00. Easy job and really high quality kit. But it is the Fan noise solution. I had the same complaint. Here is what I did and a month or so later it still works great and is quiet as heck. HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

Been using this DVR for 5 months now and so far have learned enough about setting motion detection up to understand it I think. Like it so far. But the Fan noise was bad as I noted previously. I replaced the Power SUpply fan with this one. Noctua 40x10mm A-Series Blades with AAO Frame, SSO2...

I think what you're trying to do you can do right on the TV interface. Im not at home right now so I can't verify this, but check the Settings for Live View

"tripplite units" Interesting. I would like to test this out and put my NVR in the garage near the NID from AT&T and run the HDMI to my TV location using existing Ethernet in my walls.

That's a good point Fenderman. If he is using the Ethernet to HDMI just to extend his HDMI run from the NVR to the TV easily using Ethernet, what would be "lost"? All that might happen is the display on the TV would go out... That aside, was the Original Poster asking if he can access the...

Hmmm.. I'll try adjusting the settings some more. I get your point about the camera and the NVR. BUt not the POE as a "sender"? Thanks!

I'd have no problem doing this. mine is loud also.m I moved it out of the small cabinet where all my other tv and stereo stuff is and put it on the rug underneath it.. It's not nearly as loud. My wife may let me keep it... But if it's a problem I'll try this myself..

I was able to successfully get a test message after setting up the Email settings in my new 7608 Hikvision NVR with my two new Hikvision Cameras. I thought I set the triggers correctly but I suppose I did not as I have not received a single email. I have continuous recording setup for now. The...

I have the same unit. I noticed the Fan noise also. My wife doesn't like it... I will next try moving the unit into the garage. Currently I have an HDMI cable from the NVR to my TV where I use a bluetooth mouse to navigate. If I can get HDMI from the Garage to the Living room via some coax as I...

Thanks, In this case I am trying to not have to run an ethernet cable. I'll see how this works out. Thanks for the heads up!
