The one from the left is the one from the teardown above. The QR code is the actual seal and it was placed there by Hikvision for sure. It is impossible to open the camera without breaking that seal. My cameras where purchased from an authorised Hik partner and probably this is why they all have...

Given that I can't see any image on NVR's attached monitor itself, this is an NVR/firmware issue in my case. 5MPx @ any fps with Highest quality setting and H.264+ enabled is probably incompatible with this NVR. However, I don't remember having this issue before upgrading the firmware (few years...

Yes, I have the latest iVMS-4200, tested on several Windows and MacOS laptops and desktops. Also, same happens on iOS and Android on my mobile phones and several others are complaining about this on Internet too. Youtube guys are resolving this by lowering the iFrame and sometimtes this indeed...

Thank you for your answer! I do have the latest available fw for the NVR: V3.4.98 build 171121 (encoding ver. V5.0 build 170830). I remember that after fw I started to have issues with playback in mobile Hikvision application on both Android and iOS and this is happening today as well. XMEeye...

Lot of misses from a rather cheap manufacturer from China, but they can easily fix the bugs and move on. After all, there aren't that many NVR builders around the world, so they do have their slice from the market for sure. Isn't similar scenarios possible with Dahua, Hikvision, Tuya and all...

Hello, I thought that after 5 years of service I might need to break the warranty seal and see if there are any bulging capacitors inside or, who knows, maybe the IP66 rating was just on the paper and some small dust particle might still get inside after almost 44.000 hours of continuous...

I know very well the differences between 15 fps and 30 fps, thank you. I intend to use 30 fps on one of my home front cameras from personal reasons; the rest of the cameras are already set to 15 fps and will stay this way. My initial issue still stands, as I would like to make use of H.264+...

Thank you, I'll try to connect a different camera and see what's going on. The new camera is non-Hik and probably not PnP, but I'll see how it works and I'll get back here.

I know what you're saying, but still H.264+ is causing a better image quality on the recording and I'm saying this from my own experience. Also, only with H.264+ I can achieve flawless 30 fps with my NVR, so I would love to be able to make it work properly for both recording and playback (on...

This is an ongoing issue whiteout a straight resolution. I previously removed couple of IP cameras from a NVR 7608NI-E2/8P Hikvision NVR and even after changing both records from PnP to Manual I still can't delete them. Cameras are gone, so there's no need to change any IP address on them...

Quite nobody? I've heard anyone with older Hik NVR's are having this issue.

The above movie does resolve the issues when playing H.264 Live View on Highest quality setting; basically, decreasing the i-frame no. to 10...15 does the trick, but for H.264+ issue still remains valid . So, does anyone knows how to resolve the Live View issues when enabling H.264+? L.E.: For...

Hello, When I enable H.264+ on my DS-7608NI-E2/8P NVR, after the cameras restart, I can't view the live-view on iVMS-4200 (tried on both PC and Mac). However, from cellphone I can see the cameras live-view by using Hik-Connect application. Cameras used are DS-2CD2052-I and this is happening to...

Why CBR, please? Will VBR do any odd artefacts during the night? Or is it for later playback compatibility with other players? Thanks! I guess it's 1/10ms and 1/12ms, right?

Yes, the "entire" Internet that knows the password from the NVR and the encryption key/code too. At least I can map the port I want, not like DDNS that used to have so many security bugs on NVRs. I don't like the idea of doing this compromise, but is anyone having a better idea, please? This...

Probably same issue happens to lot of folks, I don't think Hik guys are willing to resolve this. How I see things is that Hik servers should act as a "relay" between a registered Hik NVR and it's clients. It's clear to me that Hik servers started to decline all or lot of Hik NVRs, either due to...

Basically, avg. power consumption is around: - 4.5-5.W for an IP camera >3Mpx (my 1Mpx AXIS PoE camera draws only 3.5W) - 7-10W for NVR motherboard - 5-7W for an operating HDD (less than 1W if stand-by) An enterprise HDD can take more than 10W, so don't use them inside NVRs...like I did (I have...

It's just a tad more than your system, differences consist in different NVR and more resolution cameras (probably 5-6W/h more from here) and two added fans for NVR and UPS (2-3W/h from here too). I found no power consumption difference between summer and winter, although if it was less than...

Thank you Ryan, but I already have the latest available on Hik's website: DOWNLOAD EU PORTAL and it's NVR_K41_BL_ML_STD_V3.4.98_171121. Also, I had this confirmed with Hik support that it's the latest, so I see no v4.1.x available for my NVR. :( Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Just installed SeaMonkey 2.49.4 (SeaMonkey: Download & Releases) and seems to be working acceptable for Live View; it's slower than Chrome used to be when it actually worked (there's some delay before painting the image, also playback seems to not be working for high-bitrate recordings), but I'm...

I have IVMS-4200 V1.02.05.02 (for MAC OS X) installed, seems to be latest available, and I'm also using the latest plugin I was ble to find on Hikvision portal: "Web Plugin for Mac OS V3.0.6.23" from February 12,2018. No luck to be able to see cameras live, just the recordings; seems that...

I somehow combined both of your recommendations and I've managed to upgrade all of my 8 IP cameras (DS-2CD2352-I). - First I enabled "Virtual Host" from the web interface, per Alastair's reply. This seems to enable IP_FORWARD in Linux OS of the NVR. - Second I used iVMS-4200 to connect to IP...

Ryan, I don't see any other devices in there...just the NVR itself. Alastair, I will dig this when I'll get home later today. Thank you all!

I got latest iVMS-4200 available on the website, but the only device available for Remote Config. would be the NVR itself, because the cameras are on the other subnet created by NVR.

No, but not sure how will this help. I will sort this out these days for sure by getting face-to-face to my NVR and double check IP camera's settings, then use the NVR somehow as a gateway between the 2 subnets: the one from home 192.168.100.0/24 and the one from my cameras 192.168.254.0.24...

No, can't ping the cameras for the moment via the NVR and haven't got to the cameras to change their default gw, but when I'll get there to upgrade their firmware I'll probably do that to make things easier in the future.

Thank you, I tried that yesterday: route add 192.168.254.0/0 gateway 192.168.100.100 (NVR's internal IP address from the home network), but it didn't worked. However, not a big deal, really...I can do this like you said in the first place by connecting to NVR's internal LAN ports.

Thank you, did that in the past, just need to get up in the attic and I hate this. :) Too bad I can't do it while being connected to the NVR itself, but probably this would be a good thing, at least from security reasons (less hacking attempts perhaps).

Just got upgrade my AARR Hikvision DS-7608N-E2/8P today with the ML ver. from DOWNLOAD PORTAL through iVMS-4200 client. All good, reboot went automatically after the update, same English menus, so everything seems fine. :) Too bad the IP cameras (DS-wCD2352-I) can't be upgrade through iVMS-4200...

Just realised that the fan included in this PSU is auto-adjusted, based on the internal temperature, so it will spin faster if hot air gets inside the PSU. However, my NVR is located in a 40-42C attic, inside a semi-ventilated shelf and the top case was so hot that I was afraid not to damage...
