    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    Confusion set in there- it doesn't. I can still have Scheduled Switch on. Thanks for your help.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    Well the UI has certainly changed, but no, there's no gain setting under Exposure. I tried all six of the options: Basic, Front Light, Back Light, Low Illumination, Custom 1 and Custom 2. The firmware is Firmware_V5.7.19_241207...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    Okay, I went off to check and it wasn't there - I only had "Iris", " Anti Banding" and the actual exposure. I missed your post @wittaj and have started updating the firmware on one of them. That would be in "Low Illumination" mode IIRC? I'll go back and check now as the update will be done.

    Thanks, I'll have to have another look. I may need to update the firmware.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    What gain setting are you adjusting? I've got 2 x 2387G2-LU and haven't come across the gain that controls the amplification of the light picked up by the sensor. They seem to use the same firmware for both. I don't have many street lights in my area (one- on the opposite side of the road and...

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    A question - do you use the HDMI output? The new software seems to cut the audio off when the system auto locks users out. I can't find a way to get the audio to work in that situation- which is annoying. My old 7608NI-I2 used to keep the audio going all the time.

    Has anyone purchased off SS-Inter ? (Ebay Australia.)

    More info - the NVR firmware upgraded fine, using firmware from www.hikvision.com website. That's a big improvement over my last NVR purchased from an Australian Hikvision retailer's store- that was region locked to only using firmware from Hikvision Australia. Using overseas firmware would...

    Hikvision NVR 5.0 software - enabling sound on Live View when locked?

    With the new NVR 5.0 software, has anyone worked out how to enable sound on Live View when the NVR has locked itself? My old NVR had the sound on, but this new version mutes the sound as soon as the NVR locks. Edit: this in on the HDMI output. (Hikvision NVR firmware updates = 1 step forward...

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    So there is nowhere to turn it on in the NVR? I've been searching for ages and thought they must have renamed it!

    Has anyone purchased off SS-Inter ? (Ebay Australia.)

    Just in case anyone else ever searches- the transaction went well. The NVR was sent from NSW (not China) and arrived in about 3 business days. The only potential issue- it was sent in the original box wrapped in black plastic. Along the way, the box suffered some damage (thanks Australia...

    Which NVR to upgrade with from Hikvision

    That's a bit odd, what is stopping you running more and what bitrate have you set them up to? I've got four running on my old DS-7608NI-I2/8P, the problem being the 10Mbps max on each channel limits the image quality. (I don't know if it will run more than four, as that's all I have.)

    Has anyone purchased off SS-Inter ? (Ebay Australia.)

    I've gone ahead and purchased the NVR off them. They've been very good responding to questions and gave me a discount. All up the price is on par with the prices on AliExpress - once freight and 10% GST is added on.

    Has anyone purchased off SS-Inter ? (Ebay Australia.)

    I guess the title says it all - there's a seller on Ebay Australia called SS-Inter and they sell security cameras/ NVR's etc. I was wondering if anyone has purchased off them? I'm looking at a Hikvision NVR and their prices are good- but not the cheapest. The cheaper options all have negative...

    Which NVR to upgrade with from Hikvision

    Yes, I've been looking at the DS-7616NI-M2/16P https://assets.hikvision.com/prd/public/all/doc/m000060966/Datasheet-of-DS-7616NI-M2_16P_V4.63.010_20230805.pdf . So a different model again.

    Which NVR to upgrade with from Hikvision

    I'm looking for a NVR upgrade too. One of the parameters I'm looking for is increasing the incoming bandwidth- so the NVR can handle higher MP cameras better. The I2 has a incoming bandwidth of 160Mbps whereas the M4 has 256Mbps. (So that's 10Mbps vs 16Mbps per camera.) I'm not sure if that is...

    Upgraded Camera Firmware in NVR and now locked out of Cameras

    I've sometimes found adding them as "Plug and Play" will get them connected, and then I manually do it with the password after they've connected using the "Plug and Play" option.

    What brand HDD for Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-I2/8P ?

    I ended up going with a 10TB WD Purple Pro (7200RPM and 5 year warranty.) It's working again and inaudible, so not a noisy drive. I changed the fitting position as the original HD (WD Purple 3TB) is still working and it was on the side opposite the power supply. So I don't know if the...

    What brand HDD for Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-I2/8P ?

    It appears one of my HDD has failed in my Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P - I'm getting more than 140 sector errors on the one drive. Hikvision state you can fit up to 10TB per HDD.

    DS-2CD2387G2-LU 4mm 8MP ColorVu out of focus, black pixels when zoomed in?

    You'd need to compare the distance to objects e.g. distance from the camera to side fence etc. Your camera may be higher off the ground and doesn't appear to have any close objects in view. The focus can be adjusted to bring closer objects into focus, but it will affect the focus on distant...

    You could try refocusing it- there may be an improvement.

    DS-2CD2387G2-LU 4mm 8MP ColorVu out of focus, black pixels when zoomed in?

    That will be because the minimum focus distance is 6.2m for the 4mm model. from DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL

    NVR ds-7608ni-i2/8p firmware upgrade gone wrong.

    Region locked firmware seems to be the main thing to watch out for with the NVR's. Mine was bought in Australia and I came unstuck updating it to overseas firmware. (Now it's locked to overseas firmware and Australian firmware doesn't work!)

    2CD2387G2-LSU/LU Tear down and refocus (with pictures)

    There's a minimum focus distance - anything closer will be out of focus. It's given in the spec sheet and varies depending on which lens is fitted. You could adjust the camera to focus on the closer objects, but then distant objects will be out of focus.

    Attempted firmware upgrade on Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P gone bad.

    Did you try installing an O/S firmware first using that method? In all honesty the Australia NVR firmware support sucks and is so far behind... that's the reward you get for buying genuine Aussie stock and supporting local businesses! :rolleyes: Mine is running the latest Euro firmware, but it...

    Attempted firmware upgrade on Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2/8P gone bad.

    Make sure your NVR isn't region locked before trying overseas firmware. If you bought it from a Hik Australia retailer it's likely to be locked.

    Unable to connect laptop to Hikvision NVR 7608NI/I2/8P - previously no problems

    Thanks, it's working. It was a combination of things by the look of it. For some reason when the USB C ethernet adapter is plugged in it comes up with 2 ethernet adapters listed in the Network settings (yet the adapter only has one and the laptop none built in)- I was changing the properties...

    Unable to connect laptop to Hikvision NVR 7608NI/I2/8P - previously no problems

    NVR LAN IP is 192.168.1.64, I set the laptop adapter IP to the same when trying a direct connection between the two.

    Unable to connect laptop to Hikvision NVR 7608NI/I2/8P - previously no problems

    I was wondering if someone would have any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong with connecting a Windows 10 laptop to a Hikvision 7608 NVR's LAN port. I've done it many times in the past, but nothing I've tried will get it to work now. I'm not sure if it's memory failure on my part or...
