Worked it out. The PTZ (smart tracking) function is under the camera's configuration and not the NVR's. You access the camera's configuration via the NVR, by logging into the NVR's configuration, go config, network, advanced setting, other and ticking virtual host and save. Then back to system...

Hi all Seeking help on a problem. Just connected a DS2DE4A425IW PTZ into my NVR DS-7616NI-I2 firmware V4.1.64 190726. Works great. Trying to set up smart tracking after setting presets, so follow all instructions to log into NVR via a browser, go looking for PTZ in sub menu (should be between...

Welcome mate.

bigtrue, there are before and after pictures there. Top is before and bottom after.

Update now it is nighttime. Camera is clear and all is okay.

Hi Mike I looked at the reflection possibility also. I'll feel I've fixed the issue but tonight will confirm or not. Cheers

NVR tells me it has 168 watts left, and my cameras are only using 30 odd watts. Thank lewic for all your advice. Cheers

Thanks lewic, again great advice. Will do what you suggest. Cheers

Been googling for answers why my turret was foggy/misty at night, clear during the day. Cleaned the lens cover outer glass over and over, no good. Finally looked at the lens at night with a strong torch at an angle, and inside the glass protecting the lens was a film of some kind. Took the...

esanto1, I've just upgraded my 8 channel DS 7608NI-I2/8p NVR to a 16 channel. I've put another 3 cameras over the lan onto the NVR and am putting a PTZ later next week. I agree with above in regards to upgrading to a 16 channel. Not now but maybe in the future you will want more cameras and and...

Thanks wittaj. I'm using a Hikvision NVR. Excellent explanation on why 2. Cheers

Hi all I'm about to fit a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE PTZ into a location on the corner of my home that currently has a fixed turret mounted watching over my front yard. What are peoples opinions on whether I keep both cameras, the fixed turret covering an area and the PTZ doing it's scanning, or just the...

Thank you for your reply, MadamimAdam. I'm using the Hikvision NVR to power it. Cheers

Hi All Looking at getting the Hikvision PTZ DS-2DE4A425IW . I've been told by the installer it doesn't need separate power to operate the PTZ as it gets what it needs from the POE. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Okay, Mike, finally success due to your post. I couldn't use Solar Winds but used Tftp32 and with this and your post fixed the bricked NVR just over 12 months after bricking it. I thank everyone here who had any input. It was all valuable. I now have a unbricked NVR woo woo.

Good work danaussie. Hope you get another reply and if you do, can you put it up. :goodpost:

I couldn't get it to initialize with the ip address I configured it (the one you said I needed to use) with hence why I will use another computer. Cheers

The tftpserve program just keep saying something like initialise-success or something similar. Left in running for a hour or so.

"Have you tried this on your 78x??" I tried it on my box but found it didn't recover it. I'm going to use another computer to try again.

Thanks mate

Hi Colum I tried to revive my NVR yesterday as instucted by alastair in the other thread but it didn't work. He did mention a serial to usb adaptor, so it maybe my next attempt.

"Bullets are very prone to unwanted motion alerts due to spider webs - you'd find yourself clearing them every day in the summer - really annoying. That's why I swapped all my bullets for turrets!" Agree with alastair. I had 8 bullets and replaced 3 with domes. The domes never "spiderweb" in...

Worked out the motion record. I'll try to recover the box. Thanks for your help guys.

Hi guys 58chev, it a genuine Australian unit. Alastair, again you come through. I thought there may have been no hope for the unit and have purchased another through Ebay. The price difference between Ebay and Aussie retailers is incredible. The new unit is an Aussie unit. The latest software...

More info is SADP shows the default ip of 168.0.0.64 and for the mac address is all ff's. Anybody have any idea.

I did the firmware upgrade on the NVR using 4.1.50 and got to the join the dot part. It would not accept the dots, I powered off then on, now I can't get past the log on. The "admin" line is blanked and when I change the password and set a new one and attempt to use it, it still won't proceed...

Also, I've attempted to log in via SADP without luck.

Hi guys Well the upgrade didn't go well. Got to the screen whereby you join the dots to set that up and it wouldn't accept any 4 dot combination. I rebooted the machine and when it goes to the dots, I bypass and go to the password. I enter the correct password but cannot put the admin on the top...

Thanks 58chev. I was wondering where the software came from. All my searches it didn't show that page.

Thanks jonatha.
