Thanks, that is a good one.

Sorry for the newbie question, but what is the relationship of Xiongmai to Hikvision? I scanned the sec-consult.com article above and it was not clear. Also does "XMEye P2P Cloud” equate to Hik-Connect?

Perhaps, although placing this in the "Modify Network Parameter" screen is bit counter-intuitive. Given this Network Parameter screen is device specific, I guess it allows you to specify a different Admin password for each device.

I installed the iVMS-4200 Lite on a Windows 10 PC. A couple of observations: I used the "Online Device" method to add devices (i.e., NVR and cameras) to the client. The installation did not seem to like me specifying an account with Operator user level has permission (specifically the NVR...

That is perfect. Thanks! p.s.: Any good setup video for the mobile app (iVMS-4500) that you can suggest?

I have two IP cameras and the DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR. I have not found any basic instructions on setting up the iVMS-4200 client to live view content as well as playback recorded content. Any pointers would be appreciated. --Rob

I do not think it does (looks disabled), as perhaps it is a function of the camera's capability. I will, however, double check and report back.

So the NVR configured Continuous recording for the daytime hours and then Motion recording in the overnight hours seems to work fine. Also the NVR allows the detection motion events within the continuous recording window (i.e., outside the arming schedule for motion events). Below is a...

Fixed! As suggested by Shockwave199, the cloudy IR footage was caused by an improperly mated mini-dome camera housing (apparently causing internal reflections of the IR)

Thanks, I'll check that the dome cover is fully seated and if that is not it try catching less of the side wall.

So the NVR record schedule was set to Motion (all day), yet the Event arming schedule still seems to control when the NVR records motion events (as Paul indicated above). I guess what confused me is the camera behavior appears different. What I mean is my cameras have internal micro-SD storage...

Thanks. I confirmed the Overwrite option seems to be the default with my NVR (and also on the camera for the microSD card installed in it) Here is the NVR screenshot.

Hello, One of my mini-dome cameras has a cloudy looking video when in night-mode. (see below). The camera is mounted to a drop ceiling tile. Is this being caused by reflections back into the camera (perhaps from the side wall or glass door). If yes can I adjust a sensitivity setting in the...

Hi, Another newbie question. I have not be able to get a clear understanding of the Hikvision NVR behavior when the HDD(s) become full? Is there an option to allow overwriting of the oldest recordings? I have been searching the DS-7600NI series user manual without any luck. Thanks! --Rob

Paul, Perhaps I interpreted the arming incorrectly then. I assumed this was an Alarm (e.g., a motion event that occurs when one is not expect, like when a business is closed) and that Motion recording in the NVR could be triggered independently of that. If that is not the case (as you seem to...

So am I correct in my belief that the Hikvision NVR can be configured to record camera motion events independent of the motion detection event alarm arming schedule?

Hello, So I am testing the configuration of my DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR with my two Hikvision mini-dome cameras (DS-2CD2542FWD-IS). I am trying to get the NVR to Record when motion is detected by the cameras Generate a motion detection event alarm based defined arming schedule What seems to be...

So just to be clear, are you stating in my original graphic I could connect the LAN interface of the NVR to the Ethernet switch (Building #2), allowing the NVR to properly manage the cameras in Building #1 (Church)? In this two camera configuration none of the NVR PoE interfaces would be in...

Assuming using a Hikvision NVR necessitates having cameras connected via the PoE ports on the NVR and these must be on a separate IP subnet from the NVR LAN port (someone please let me know if this is not the case), then would the VLAN arrangement below work? The switches in Building #1 (Church)...

Hi, As a newbie I am looking for advice on a multiple building application as shown in the image below. Currently we only have two cameras in Building #1 (Church). The main building (Building #2) is connected to Building #1 (Church) via a single aerial Cat6 cable. As shown we also expect to add...

OK, so for the most part the processing is done by the camera and the NVR-based camera configurations serves as a centralized gateway to configure the cameras.

OK, so the NVR acts as an IP router whose default subnet = 192.168.254 (all subtending cameras on the PoE interfaces of the NVR are on this subnet). So a camera connected to the PoE ports on the NVR is not directly reachable from the LAN-side of the NVR (except via the Virtual Host facility...

Does the "default gateway" parameter in the cameras refer to the IP Router on the LAN or is this the IP address of the NVR?

David, Actually I was asking whether there are things that can only be done by connecting a keyboard to the NVR USB port (and monitor the NVR HDMI port) vs opening a browser connection to the IP address of the NVR. It seems you are indicating that some camera settings only configurable via...

So with a Hikvision NVR, should I disable the camera's motion detection and just configure this in the NVR (or does the NVR configuration essentially push the motion detection settings to the camera?) On a related question, what about motion alarm reporting (e.g., via e-mail, to Surveillance...

Thanks. So what does "Surveillance Centre" mean in the Hikvision context? Is this the NVR? Regarding the NVR unit, what functions can only be performed from the console (i.e., by connecting a monitor/keyboard/mouse) vs being performed remotely (e.g., via browser connection to IP address of...

I just received my DS-7608NI-I2/8P and began playing a bit with it. Under the Storage=>Schedule Settings=>Recording Schedule that seems to be the ability to define the time of day to apply Continuous record or Motion recording, etc. Is there any guidance regarding when you might close...

I too took the Pale Moon plunge. So far so good.

Thanks for that. So how does Firefox ESR work? I see there is a download page (below), but how does one select the FireFox browser version that you are looking to maintain? Do you install the targeted version on your laptop (independent of ESR), then download FireFox ESR from the link below...

Hi, I see there are a number of tools on the Hikvision website. Which are the valuable ones for the "typical" application? For instance I am unclear of the value of: VSPlayer USSC Web Video Plugin For DVR / NVR Format Converter I will be using the Hikvsion NVR, although I do not have it...
