Good to hear. I would assume Hikvision hadn't come up with Wifi cameras unless they would be reliable. However, we're not talking about continuous video streaming, if the camera has internal sd-card where all recordings go. And when they are monitored remotely, most of the time only the lower...

Yeah, 10 years ago I was testing some wireless cameras, but there were several issues why we never installed them for customers.I thought in 10 years things would have improved.... For the systems I'd be installing now, my hands are tied. It is either wireless or don't take the job. Seems...

Hi guys, I've been out for a few years, but before I was installing several Hikvision systems. It was the best option back then. I have never installed WIFI cameras, only wired Hikvision cameras. Now I'd have a few places that would need 2-4 camera systems. They are with 4G/5G internet...

well, for this system i decided to leave it as it is. hik-connect app is pretty good for remote view. browser remote view is pretty tricky imo.

answering my own question, port forwaring is needed to use browser view remotely.

Thanks for the replies. Working well now. But.... What about accessing through browser. I'm new to hik-connect and being able to access cameras without port forwarding. I'm able to remote view cameras through hik-connect mobile app, but from https://www.hik-connect.com/devices/page i can see...

Hi! System is ds-7608n-e2/8p with 6 hikvsion cameras and one onvif camera. Every once in a while (about once/week) one or two Hikvision cameras lose connection. Those are always the same 2 cameras (both ds-2cd2132F-is). Rebooting system wakes them up. Bandwith is pretty tigh, since I have many...

Hi! It's a simple question, waiting for a simple answer. I'd need to make a setup with two cameras connected directly to router. Only funtion required is to view these cameras remotely (hik connect or ivms 4500). Is it possible to view them at the same time (just like camera systems that have...

thanks tangent for your reply. so far the best results I have gotten from this detector (it has been way better than brand models) WaterProof Outdoor Digital Motion Dual PIR Detector & Pet Immunity IP45 LU | eBay I don't have now the models of the other detectors. The temperature varies from...

looking pretty bad i guess

yep, some on/off sensors, such as magnetic sensors or other switches (maybe even pressure plate, that activates when it is stepped on) have been on my mind. There are cameras of course, to check if it's a false alarm. but still waking up at 3 am for false alarm is not so nice. and also, alarm...

I will try this at some point. FOR SCIENCE!!!

When I download video files from Hikvision NVR, it automatically adds player.exe to the folder. For some reason, antivirus software recognizes it as malmware. Does this happen to others and is there a real threat? The player itself is good for one purpose: it plays audio. For some reason VLC...

Hi! I'm getting extremely frustrated with false alarms from PIR detectors. We have a cold storage building and here in northern europe temperature changes are problematic with pir detectors. Also some of the neighbours cats like visit our storage (there are a few places where they can get in...

I can't believe that I am finally saying it works! Onvif was no luck. I think I tried everything and much more with no luck multiple times. But custom protocol-rtsp finally worked out. The key was to copypaste the whole url from onvif manager's live video-page. I used NVR's web GUI to do it. In...

I'm afraid yes. just to be clear, when i'm adding this camera with ONVIF, I should: -plug it to a free poe port of NVR -set manual adding -->IP 192.168.254.66, set ONVIF, set PORT 8080, Set channel port 1 (or what does this mean?), set username and password Well, that hasn't worked. And what...

now i have tried everything, different IP adresses, custom adding, dchp, changing ports, plugging to different poe ports, unplugging working camera and using that port, changing username and password and so on. No luck. When the camera is plugged to poe port and after I changed computers ip to...

I have tried with other IP adresses, no luck. I don't understand the last part. what do you mean? yes, that is what I have done (last picture). I'll give 554 port a shot! not getting my hopes up, though.

Hello! I'm trying to add a chinese nobrand IP-camera to hikvision NVR. No luck. Everything should be ok IMO. I can access the camera normally with computer and I have changed the ip address and gateway as it should. Any ideas what could be the problem? Can it be that the NVR does not support...

I've done a few hikvision systems, but now the availability is getting worse and worse. However, Dahuas seem to be well available, especially on aliexpress. Now a buddy of mine asked me to make a camera system for him. So are there any key differences between dahua and hikvision? Hikvision...

yes, it is set to video&audio in both NVR and directly through cameras own page (i remember the camera with internal mic didn't work at all until I went to camera's own page and switched it to video and audio)

Hey, I plugged external Mic on 2cs2132F-IS. It is one with that has 12v power and two audio lines (i guess audio and audio gnd). The camera is connected to NVR. When I access camera's own page with browser, everything works. But... through ivms-4500 no sound. However, I if I turn on two-way...

I will try ONVIF. I'm not an expert on computers so I am really not willing to risk a functioning system. Let's see how it goes with ONVIF :)

Damn, i asked in another thread which camera I should buy to for my NVR and at that point I had no idea that newer cameras aren't compatible with my older firmware. People were just saying go with hikvision cameras. I think i won't risk the current system by trying to upgrade. Too much hazzle...

which firmware should i use for upgrade, so that I could get the new camera working?

Hi! I needed one more camera to my system with DS-7608N-E2/8P with the original firmware v.3.0.8. Unfortunately the new camera (2CD2335 with 5.3.6. firmware) does not work with the system. The camera works, I can access it directly. So, is a NVR firmware issue? Which firmware should work? Any...

I'm reinstalling a few sensors, and I was thinking about rewiring those, since the old cable needs to be removed anyway. I have plenty ethernet cable still left from camera installations, and I was wondering is it ok to use it for the alarm system. Sensors are normal 12V. If it's ok, does it...

Those cameras I have now handle the recording and it's fine like that. It's very unlikely that a person could enter those storages without being recorded by the cameras I have now. But if the false alarm happens at night, I don't have the time to go through the recordings. Those storage units...

I have sensors that shouldn't react with small animals. But the storage is small and narrow, so if for example bird flies directly in front of the sensor, it will be triggered, no matter how good sensor it is. I have even set it up so that it take longer time to activate. And once in year a...

I have 6 Hikvision cameras connected to DS-7608N-E2/8P NVR. System is working well and covers the area almost completely. But I have a small problem. I have two small storage units, that are secured with an alarm system, but not cameras. I'd need to have some cheap cameras there, that could be...
