    DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P NVR Issues.

    I call it Bull crap. You are not going to find a GOOD 8 port 150Watt poe switch for that price. I have worked out a solution for my CHEAPO system that work for me. Unless you are going to pay for the system for me... kindly keep your opinion's to your self. I am tires of seeing people on here...

    DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P NVR Issues.

    Decent computer $300. HD $200 BI $57.99 Poe Switch 8 port 150 watts? Have figured out that it is a limitation of the cameras, not the NVR. Just have to find 2 cheap Hikvision compatible bullet cams that have smart detect (Line & Intrusion) and I may have a line on those. (DS-2CD2T35FWD-I5)...

    DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P NVR Issues.

    $550.00 I am familiar with blue iris, I really do not want to go that route due to all the Poe cameras I have. I did fin if I have a camera with line cross, or perimeter cross detection, what I want to do will work. Really dumb it will not work from just motion detect.

    DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P NVR Issues.

    I am NOT trying to bash anyone, just telling it like it is. I bought a used DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P NVR with a 6TB hard drive from B&H Photo. I have 2 Sunba Tech PTZ Poe cameras, 2 Bullet Poe cameras, and 1 Chinese Poe PTZ. All 5 cameras hooked up to and recording motion only as I wanted. I...

    A bit confused on a doorbell

    I currently have a Nest doorbell, works great except for 2 things: 1) Have to pay for service. 2) Can not use it with my Hikvision NVR. I have read these two post: EZVIZ DB1C RCA Doorbell After reading all the DB1C stuff, unless I missed something, it wont work with my NVR and give motion...

    Reolink cameras and Hikvision NVR

    Yes the Reolink cameras are connected to the NVR via ONVIF using port 8000, and the port is set the same as well. Both cameras are using assigned fixed IP addresses. Problem is the NVR will not activate any of the camera functions. If you try to set up motion, it will let you set the...

    Reolink cameras and Hikvision NVR

    Managed to fire up ONVIF Manager. Both cameras responded to all changes I could make in the OM. Both cameras DID show movement. I put a SD card into the 420, it still will not trip movement on the NVR. Hikvision WILL show video from both cameras, and will record 24/7 only when manual record...

    Reolink cameras and Hikvision NVR

    Some further info: the Reolink RLC-410 and RLC-420 share the exact same firmware. These are identical cameras just in different housings. I thought it may be a port setting issue, but the Reolink use ONVIF 8000 HTTP 80. I have NOT tried putting an SD card into the camera and setting up...

    Reolink cameras and Hikvision NVR

    I have that already, I'll give it a look just for grins. Like I said, the cameras landed in my lap for next to nothing, I would be crazy not to try them out, but if they wont trigger a motion even so I can move my tracking PTZ, then they are of little use to me.

    Reolink cameras and Hikvision NVR

    wittaj...... I read your post. I am on the latest firmware release for the NVR, Problem I am having it that you cannot set anything for the Reolink cameras from inside of the NVR. even the date and time had to be set using the Reolink client. It is a shame too. I get real crisp images from...

    Reolink cameras and Hikvision NVR

    Interesting thought : The NVR will not let you set anything for the cameras. If you try to activate motion recording, you just get an error, or a "Not supported" error.

    Reolink cameras and Hikvision NVR

    So far assigned a fixed IP address to the cameras via the Reolink app. You MUST also set the correct date and time in the Reolink App. I used an IP address in the range of my NVR. You can tell the NVR to manually record 24/7, but the cameras will NOT respond to any motion activated recording...

    Reolink cameras and Hikvision NVR

    Before you go bashing me for trying to use subpar cameras, not everyone can afford top of the line everything, besides the price was right. I have a Reolink RLC-410 and RLC-420 Poe cameras. I managed to get them onto my Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2/16P NVR. I get video. I am able to continuous...

    DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P NVR STOP recording PTZ movement as motion detect.

    I have 2 PTZ cameras set up and recording motion only. This is working. When I assign patrol patterns to the cameras, the PTZ movement is picked up as movement and recorded. Is there a way to turn this OFF, but still record motion detect?

    I'll have to look. Both cameras are hooked to the NVR using HIKVISION protocall.

    Can not get camera to record motion only

    I have the following Hikvision NVR: ERI-Q104-P4 I have 3 IP cameras hooked to it, 2 are Poe, the other is not. The one Sunba Illuminati record Motion only as I want and works fine. The second Poe (Chinese knock off) records everything 24/7. I have deleted the camera and reinstalled on the...

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    Techno.... I am still dialing in the performance. I am having an issue with the exhaust from my furnace tripping up the camera. The IR lights really illuminate the exhaust, even though not visible to the naked eye, The camera will track my small dog, but often looses her. Sunba has been very...

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    I agree. I have a SUNBA 507 20X and the interface is way different from the Illuminati The Illuminati is very similar to a HIK camera I have seen.

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    Got her all working.... I like the line/perimeter tracking, camera also has several tracking modes where it will pretty much track anything in the current FOV.

    Hot water heater exhaust capture

    Only when temp humidity is right do you see it in the day. Camera is only picking it up at night when the IR lights are on. Have tried turning on exterior lights at night and the fog disappears. pain cause this is where I primarily want the camera to look.

    Hot water heater exhaust capture

    More heat vapor with a little water vapor. the IR lights really light it up. Have to look at it more during the day, may be able to add some pipe and get it out of the way

    Hot water heater exhaust capture

    No able to move the camera. Moving the exhaust output will take some time, The IR lights really highlight what is almost non observable to the naked eye. Not sure what other camera settings I could try.

    Records during pan tilt movement as motion detection

    I have a Hikvision NVR, and 2 IP PTZ cameras. My Illuminati is mounted on the rear of the house. Originally I wanted it to patrol 3 areas and use auto tracking if trip lines were crossed. later found the camera has to be in a fixed position to do auto track. Really dumb if you ask me. so I...

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    Actually figured out where to do it in the NVR, WEB interface SUNBA swears their cameras are compatible with Hikvision. Just not sure if I set it up correctly. To cold and dark out to check right now.

    Sunba Illuminati Auto tracking.

    Yes this is also what I had thought, I will email Sunba again and have them clarify this. Also have to figure out how to stop the camera from talking when it see motion.
