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...

Has anyone else noticed the non linear response of the HLC control in the 8MP Colorvu cameras? See the image below, top pic is with HLC set at 40, middle is 41 (note massive change in scene) and the the last pic is with it set at 100. It's almost as if the highest HLC setting is 41and after that...

Is there a way to change the resolution of manual captures (e.g. when playing back footage you click on the capture icon) from 1920x1080 to the full resolution of the camera? Mine does 1920 x 1080 Jpegs for 8MP cameras and I can't find any option to change it. I'm running 4 series firmware.

A tip for anyone who may find a camera doesn't work with IR light at night, if your IR LED's are coming on it's most likely the IR filter stuck closed. I just had it happen in a 4MP DS-2CD2342WD-I that I'd been using locked in colour 24/7 for a couple of years. I pulled it apart and tried...

Here's a datasheet showing the specs of the Hikvision DS-7800NI-I2/P NVR models: https://www.hikvision.com/content/dam/hikvision/products/S000000001/S000000002/S000000007/S000000026/OFR000040/M000035028/Data_Sheet/Datasheet-of-DS-7800NI-I2-P_NVR_V4.40.010-20201118.pdf . The 8 channel model...

I've tried searching for the answer to this, but haven't found the solution. I've got a Hik camera with the "Smart Event" feature for "Intrusion" which includes a useful "Maximum"/ "Minimum" target size option. I've configured it on the camera the exact same way as a basic Event like "Motion"...

Has anyone else got a 4mm version of the newish 8MP ColorVu turret? I just bought one and it seems to have been focused very poorly at the factory- that's testing it inside and not expecting anything really close to be in focus. I also noticed when zooming right in on the NVR playback there...

I didn't see these new 4MP low light "Powered by Darkfighter" cameras mentioned anywhere- apologies if they have been. Varifocal version DS-2CD2H45FWD-IZS : Min. Illumination: Color: 0.008 lux @(F1.2, AGC ON), 0.011 lux @(F1.4, AGC ON), 0 lux with IR 1/2.5" Progressive Scan CMOS 2.8 to 12 mm...

So I've got a camera with a "Line Level" input and have tried two amplified microphones and they won't work with it (barely hear the audio with the mic gain up to 100). I'm trying to isolate the problem. Both microphones are the same brand/ model, so that doesn't help. I've tested them on the...

Is anyone using the Hikvision DS-2FP2020 microphone? Info on it is a bit scarce and I noticed in the below picture there is was looks like a potentiometer- is it for adjusting the gain of the preamp?

Just wondering if anyone is using the Hik DS-7608NI-I2/8P and has tried a single hard drive >6TB? The specs say you can use up to 2 x 6TB, but I'd like to fit something along the lines of a single 8TB. I want to stay with the single drive to reduce heat and power consumption.

I was wondering if there's some sort of firmware bug with my NVR- when logged on from a PC via the LAN port I seem unable to find where the screen captures are being saved to? When the camera icon is pressed to do the screen capture a message flashes up on the screen saying where the picture is...

I was wondering if anyone has the above camera DS-2CD2325FWD-I and how good it is at night and during the day? Is it's night performance at the same sort of level as the 2mp Dahua Starlights?? Edit: there is also a 3MP Ultra-low light range in Hikvision

Hi, I'm a newbie to the world of IP Cams and have the above mentioned NVR and was attempting to go from V3.4.82_160902 firmware to V3.4.91_161220 via a USB flash drive. All appeared to go well until it rebooted and came up with "Insecure Password, please change" (or something similar.) It was...
