    Need help with Settings

    OK, thank you for replying. I was thinking of doing just that, but there are about 9 images in the file and thought it might be very cluttered, so thought I would combine them. I do take your point though about people not wanting to download links, guess its the way of the world these days. Thanks

    Need help with Settings

    Hi, I recently installed a new Hikvision DS-2CD2686G2-IZSU/SL wow, that is long. Anyway, I am very happy with the daytime images, but not so much with the night. I think it is just a matter of getting the right settings, so I was hoping members could advise what could be wrong with my current...

    Why is this happening

    Hi guys, I'm at a bit of a loss to understand what is happening here. Currently I have a Hikvision NVR that has 3 x CCTV attached to it. I am on a Mac computer running latest update of OS Ventura and using Firefox Browser with latest update - 107.0.1. If I open up the NVR in one tab and then...

    Question - New NVR

    Hi, the string did not work, so I got to thinking, it has to be some other setting I am missing in the new NVR as opposed to the old one, and sure enough IT WAS. I noticed on the old NVR I had deselected "Stream Encryption" but the new NVR still had this checked. So, I deselected, typed in my...

    Question - New NVR

    @alastairstevensen First off, thank you for taking the time to respond/help. I really appreciate it, being new to this stuff. Well, sort of got it right, I think. I started up the new NVR and was able to get the 3 cameras showing up in the Live View, so a win there. Now I have this issue...

    Question - New NVR

    Hi all, so I went ahead and purchased a new NVR a few days ago to replace my aging Hikvision NVR. Replacement is another Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-I2/8P. So, I hooked it up to my home network and have assigned the new NVR with a static IP address and can see it online via Hik-Connect as well as...

    Any chance of making this readable

    Well at least you tried and I thank you for that...I'll be looking into rectifying this in the future. Have asked my Hikvision contact I use to suggest a camera I can install AND suggest the right settings to make this easier in the future. I will give Spielberg a ring later today as well, see...

    Any chance of making this readable

    Hi, this particular vehicle was involved in a burglary the other day. Do you think it is possible to get a readable plate out of this image. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into a particular type of software. Maybe even someone on the forum has skills.

    Trying to understand my NVR /Camera setup

    Hi, I am certainly not disagreeing with you, as I do not know myself. But I have read in quite a few places like Hikvision (sure, it is theie interest for me to buy again), but other sites I have read as well state that going from V3 to V4 could brick the NVR. I do realise you have to do it is...

    Trying to understand my NVR /Camera setup

    Mmmm, seems like I need to invest in a newer NVR with latest software. As they say, "No pockets in shrouds" so may as well spend my money and make life easier.

    Trying to understand my NVR /Camera setup

    Yes. that worked, I can access the config file for each of the 3 cameras now. Pity I cannot find a plug-in that works any longer to view the stream within the browser. Additional reading suggests that these plug ins have been discontinued for the more current browsers, something about NPAPI...

    Trying to understand my NVR /Camera setup

    All great points from everyone.. thanks. Doesn't sound like it can be done anyway, or at least easily, and has it has been pointed out, not a good idea, and that is what the NVR is for (security and ease) it would seem. I guess I could always take the NVR out of the loop, get a POE switch and...

    Trying to understand my NVR /Camera setup

    Arh...got it, thanks. Did not know that was how it was being done. I just thought you downloaded the software and installed on PC and searched for them on the Home LAN. Appreciate that clarification. Hopefully someone will have the method you mentioned that Hik use, in severing the bridge...

    Trying to understand my NVR /Camera setup

    Hi, yes, understand that, I just wanted to know how to do it.must be some setting I am overlooking... Maybe I am not thinking about this right, but how is it any different to say using Blue Iris or in my case Security Spy (as I have a mac) would the cameras not then be accessible with an...

    Trying to understand my NVR /Camera setup

    Thanks guys for the responses. I can access the NVR and the 3 cameras in my Firefox Browser, I do not see a picture as the plug ins not longer work as we all know. I have used Chrome with the IE Tab add on extension and can see the live feeds that way. I have no problems accessing the cameras or...

    Trying to understand my NVR /Camera setup

    Hi all, hope this is the right thread for this. Not sure how this happened, but I have a Hikvision NVR Model DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P running version V3.4.93 firmware that has been assigned an IP on my home network of 192.168.20.42, however, the 3 x IP cams I have attached to it are on a different IP...

    Aiphone Intercom question

    Hi, I have it all up and running, no issues or interference. I used the existing wires, which was a twin core stranded. The actual cable from Master Station to Door was a Cat 5e cable. That was already there and in use. The previous installer had used brown/brown white for one connector A2, and...

    Aiphone Intercom question

    Thank you for the reply, that case is the old one, the new one arrives this week. I'll give it a good look over and give it a try as suggested. It just seemed odd to me that the power supply has a + and - terminal, plus a ground terminal as does the Master Screen from what I can tell. SO, the...

    Aiphone Intercom question

    Hi guys, I currently have installed a Aiphone JF-DVF Door Station and a JB-2MD Master Indoor Station. The current intercom is old, and working sporadically. So, I intend to replace it with a Aiphone JOS-1FW Video Intercom Flush Mount Vandal Door Station Kit. The current wiring looks fine, but...

    DAHUA HDW4631EMP Timelapse Videos

    Appreciate the image, CCTV positioning and cover not at all what I imagined. Gets the job done though, and well I might add. For some reason, I had it in my head this was a way larger and more expensive CCTV camera, go figure. Thanks again.

    DAHUA HDW4631EMP Timelapse Videos

    Hi Matt, great TL videos, they are mesmerisin....So, I was wondering, could you attach a pic of hoe the Dahua is mounted on your roof. It looks quite low to the roof, but that could be deceiving. I'm just really curious. Thanks in advance.

    Almost called the cops on these 2 last night

    I'd like to know that also, seeing I am in the market for a good PTZ and nice IR. Got some real miscreants around the place and I'd like to snap them in action.
