    Hikvision motion detection

    Hi aster1x, I grab http://user:password@192.168.1.64/MotionDetectionExt via curl (not the windows curl, but the real curl. You'll need to install it) Obviously use the user/pass and IP address of your camera. I then "search and replace" substituting "normal" for "expert" Then use curl to place...

    Hikvision motion detection

    For anyone that follows later, I found the intrusion detection MUST be set with the NVR first. Once enabled and saved then log into the cameras and configure using the intrusion detection options. Not sure why but if I tried to enable in the camera it would not work unless I enabled it for each...

    Hikvision motion detection

    Oh well, it appears maybe the first part of my "0" threshold problem may have been sensitivity. I just got it to work with 0 by cranking sensitivity right up to 100. I thought 50% would be enough but I was wrong. The wife is putting the baby to sleep so I cant keep walking in/out the front door...

    Hikvision motion detection

    Hi alastairstevenson, I've been playing with the intrusion detection the last few days and it does not seem to work that well for me. If you have the time and the will maybe you could help me solve a few things. The issues I have with it is you must set a threshold of 1 or above. If I set...

    2 Issues with my Hikvision DS-2CD2142FWD-IS

    Hi Ukie, Sorry for the late reply. I cut/pasted/modified a little batch scrip to adjust all my cameras after a power outage. I had my router die however, so have plugged my cameras back into the PoE ports on the NVR and just last night had a power outage again. This time I have tried to enable...

    Quality drop on movement

    Ahh yes, I did try this. But for some reason it would not record. I gave up on it after failing to get it right for a few days. All I did was add a non-administrator account on the camera and then in the NVR go to the cameras and edit it to connect with the new user/pass. If it's something that...

    Quality drop on movement

    I am not aware of any web UI documentation. I find a lot of the documentation refers to features or has screen shots of versions that are not mine. It's very disheartening. They don't have very good version control over their software and they seem to jump around a fair bit. I was really...

    Quality drop on movement

    I hope it does apply to you mate. Nothing worse than paying for something that doesn't deliver. I always think the NVR's retrieve some settings from the cameras to display to the user, and push some back to the camera. For instance, if configure a camera and THEN attach it to a network with an...

    Quality drop on movement

    SOLVED! Short story, Securame was correct. There is a setting when you go to the web based interface of the NVR. I can't find this setting in the camera interface, the physical terminal interface for the NVR or via the windows IVMS software. For the benefit of others a quick step through...

    Quality drop on movement

    Interesting finding: Okay so I had the settings @ 15fps and 6144 bit rate. I triggered motion detection and it changed to 25fps and 2046 bit rate. (poor quality) I left the settings and checked them some time AFTER motion detection recording had stopped. Settings now 25fps @ bit rate 8192 This...

    Quality drop on movement

    Cool, I just had it set for bit rate 6144 and happen to be looking through live view when a rather large butterfly flew close to the camera across my motion detection area. The image all turned to crap and I checked bit rate and it had in fact dropped to 2046. I am now convinced the issue is to...

    Quality drop on movement

    Yep, just checked it. Changed to 6144 and saved it. Look through live view (via the camera web interface) and the image was acceptable. I flicked back to configuration and checked. Yes I was in 6144 bit rate. I then walked out into the motion detection zone and came back and checked the live...

    Quality drop on movement

    Oh man the hikvision software really sh!ts me. Some bug's I have found: When the NVR reboots it will default all cameras back to "normal" motion detection mode, when I have them set to expert. This causes motion detection to stop working in my situation. I've written a one-click batch file for...

    Quality drop on movement

    Securame: I only seem to have main and sub stream settings. Main settings are the ones I am fiddling with and I have made sub stream very poor quality so it would be super obvious if it started using it. Is there somewhere else to access "event" settings? I am doing it via the camera...

    Quality drop on movement

    For nights, I turn the IR off. I am really regretting buying dome cameras. The turrets would have been far superior! I have really bad IR bleed issues, dirty dome and spider web issues which I believe are all reduced somewhat with turret. The IR bleed not being an issue at all. So I turn off the...

    Quality drop on movement

    Awesome, that is probably the issue with my pulsing changes in resolution/quality too I suspect. I was watching one recording and it looked like a brick in the house kept changing color tone. I'll check it tomorrow in daylight now that I have switched the day settings for Noise reduction down...

    Quality drop on movement

    Ahh yes it could be the noise reduction. Thank you nayr. It's night time here so I can't test it at the moment but I'll reduce it now and check it tomorrow. I've added two screen shots from a video of myself this afternoon. You can see after I burst out the door like there are free hamburgers...

    Hello all, DS-2CD3145F-IS DS-2CD3145F-I I seem to have an issue I can't resolve by fiddling, so I tried reading but that failed too. So I am now asking the question :) I can get a pretty clear image through live view and recording. However, when someone enters the frame and triggers...

    v5.3.3 web access very buggy.

    I suppose when it all breaks they will be forced into action :) Or potentially lose part of their customer base. I've only just got into cctv and I love playing with their product but if I had to go out and buy new products next year I might be inclined to try something else.

    v5.3.3 web access very buggy.

    Bugger, I just read that firefox plan to drop support for it (NPAPI) in March next year, 4 months away. I hope there will be a work around OTHER than a firmware upgrade. I'm reluctant to attempt that in case I brick my Chinese hik's.

    v5.3.3 web access very buggy.

    alistairstevenson, you are a champ! I couldn't find my version number, but uninstalled it and tried yours. Interesting to note (for anyone else having the same issue) the installation splash screen I had not seen before. This one seemed to have a hikvision logo etc. I am guessing the...

    v5.3.3 web access very buggy.

    Oh cheers alastairstevenson. Actually I don't know what version of webcomponents I installed. It was quite some months ago I was trying and then I gave up for a bit and lived with sharing my wife's Mac. I'll have a bit of a poke around this window's laptop and see if I can figure out the...

    v5.3.3 web access very buggy.

    Hello all. I've been trying for a long time to get web access to my cameras listed below, via a windows 10 platform. Currently, I use a mac to do all my bidding via safari and it works perfectly. Unfortunately it's my wife's university computer so I don't have access to it all the time. On...

    2 Issues with my Hikvision DS-2CD2142FWD-IS

    Hi richard_roe, Oldish post I know but I might be able to help with a question I had answered (search my posts for intrusion detection). In my case, I had not selected the correct "linkage method" on the NVR. To solve I went to the NVR via the web access -> Configuration -> Event -> Smart Event...

    Intrusion Detection

    Yeah I hear what you guys are saying. And yes, I had it fail on me AND it was right when someone came up my driveway and took something that belongs to me. However, I did have the motion detection buzzing perfectly. The problem I had was I was unaware of the known bug that pushes the motion...

    oh, I think I just figured out D1->D11 is camera channels yeah? I noticed my other cameras recorded when that car drove past too. I shall play more in the morning (or the afternoon when I get up). Thank you :)

    Intrusion Detection

    ramleaf: It probably means little to you, but you've earned yourself the prodigious title of my "new favourite person on the internet". It's 3:30am here and I got up to get a glass of water and thought I would check my thread, and here you are in all your glory. I changed to Event and checked...

    Intrusion Detection

    Hello all. I'm going to list quite a bit of information in the hope someone can help me, so I will try format it for easy digestion. Ultimately though, I just want the answer to my questions so I placed them first and the info after that is supplementary and may be skipped if its too long...

    G'day from Perth Australia

    Hey! Another Perthie :) I just jumped in to do my first up G'day post and noticed yours. It's comforting to know there are some people local to me shooting the breeze here. I'm down south, in Wellard (Rocko area). Looking forward to getting to know the IPC/NVR side of things and I've acquired...
