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...

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...

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'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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi! I found out from older posts that it has been a mystery what voltages and current you can run through the alarm output (for example 2132). Has anyone found an answer? If not, I'll just use it to trigger a relay at 12V so it shouldn't require much current. But on the other hand, it would be...

Is there any player that supports security camera related functions well, such as playing multiple files, zooming, taking snapshots, playing backwards, going one frame forward/backward and so on? I've been using VLC quite a lot, since it is super fast, but I was hoping there would be some better...

I was wondering is the only way to turn off motion detection to either log in through browser and change the schedule of each camera individually or going to nvr and changing the schedule from there or turning the whole system off? The reason why I'm asking this is because we use the system in...

When I access NVR through web browser and click start recording, I noticed the file is saved to my computer (the path is defined in "local configuration"). I do not want files to be saved in my computer, I would like them to be saved in NVR's HDD. Where is the problem?

Hi guys! Even though I have several years of experience looking for a good surveillance system, this is still kind of a newbie question, since I'm not an expert in any aspect. So could I get your ideas what kind of system you would recommend for me? I have a warehouse/garage that is used by a...
