    Computer monitor vs tv + remote viewing

    ^^This. My TV supports PiP. I thought it was going to be the best thing ever. Turned out to be bloody irritating and I rather went for a separate monitor off to one side.

    IR light rope

    Indeed there is. Since you're an ocean away from me I doubt if my supplier could help you though! These ones on Amazon aren't waterresistant (you said fence?) but I'm sure if you scratch around a bit you'll find some.

    Hikvision DS-7732NI-I4 to TinyCam

    1. How do I access his Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I cameras which are behind a Hikvision DS-7732NI-I4 NVR? 2. How do I find the IP addresses on standalone EZViz cameras in order to add them to TinyCam Pro? This is not a POE NVR so the cameras will be 'live' on your network. Run SADP to show you all...

    Thief steals bicycle from neighbor's garage

    I've a site in the South African Bushveld with that problem. Knobhead that owns the place reckons insects are drawn by the IR on the camera. Free lunch and all that for the spiders. Seems sound. Solved it by tying a mothball in a piece of hessian around the base of the camera. The hessian...

    Hikvision NVR + IPCam - no substream available

    Sorry for extremely late update. We finally fixed the machine by reinstalling Windows 10, then all ancillary software (iVMS included) and then updating video drivers. Dunno why it worked this way around - video drivers were obviously updated on original install before other software. Credit to...

    Ghetto apartment install complete!

    The conduit and connectors you are using, what are they? Doesn't look at all like the stuff we get in deepest darkest Africa.

    Hikvision NVR + IPCam - no substream available

    Same. The sub-streams of only the Hikvision IP cameras are shown. 9 'other' cameras (might it be an ONVIF issue?) give the HCNetSDK.dll[91] error. The official answer from Hikvision Customer Service Center "Dear customer, The initial configuration of stream type is Auto-change Stream Type...

    Thanks. Problem hasn't appeared again. Will keep your solution in mind if it does.

    Is it a bad idea to shuffle IP cams to different ports on the back of my NVR?

    What NVR is this? Most allow you to set - and save - viewing positions? Or am I not understanding the issue?

    HikVision install issue

    Is it possible to reset passwords via SADP even for cameras with a reset button? *Asking for a friend that is too lazy to get up on the roof.

    HikVision install issue

    At some stage of the installation, you should have been prompted to create a password for the camera. And you would have needed this password (default user admin) to add the camera to HikConnect?

    Hikvision Error 246520

    My local has an older Hikvision DVR. Did the Hik Connect thing for them in turn of a few beers (admittedly, quite a few - they kept bringing them whilst I seemed busy....) Anyway. Online viewing died yesterday. "Video playing failed. Error Code: (246520) Popped in ths morning and rebooted the...

    Long-distance camera limitation questions

    Agreed. HDCVI/TVI over CAT5e would seem a cheaper solution. Even passive baluns would do the job.

    What to do when Hikvision are watching?

    Thanks for the reply! That's a NO on SADP. Tried tftp, no joy. Gives messase that it connects to DVR, gives a message that it is transmitting the dav file and then, after a delay if a few minutes, cycles through the same two messages. Ad nauseum. Tested my setup on an old SH series I had lying...

    What to do when Hikvision are watching?

    Thread seems dead, so I guess this ain't another hijack? In the same vein. Have a HIKVision DVR on the shelf that got hit by a power surge months ago, switches on but that's it. Distributor claimed was beyond salvage so we replaced it. Lo and behold - pinged 192.0.0.64 on startup and she was...
