    hikvision NVR cant view on spss or app only browser

    Did you enable Hik-Connect on the NVR GUI? I had this problem when I switched Hik NVRs after a few years, had to relearn all the steps and this was one small step that I overlooked and drove me nuts for a bit

    Hikvision NVR vs Blue Iris

    I'm using a DS-7608NI-K2/8, and i agree with having to get the mouse out to view events directly from the NVR sucks. But as of late i've been using IVMS-4200 from my PC and have been messing around with event view from there, and its actually impressed me, I can now view every time a...

    New Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2 / P8 beeps tortured

    Yes, that is how it typically sounds. It is terrible, sounds like equipment is dying a horrible death, but its normal. I have the same Hik NVR as you, and a DS-7604-NI/K1 and they both make that exact sound when no HDD is installed, makes me cringe.

    Voltage drop from microphone

    follow up, i realized my problem. I took what @alastairstevenson said and checked the camera only plugged into the splitter and it still wouldn't turn on (no mic attached). I looked into the splitter i was using (it was given to me with some access points, had no markings or part number), and...

    Voltage drop from microphone

    i did check and polarity was coming from the splitter correctly, i should add that i was using this type of connector off of the splitter with this type of plug running power to the camera, and i terminated the power and ground wire for the microphone along with the wires for the camera at the...

    Voltage drop from microphone

    Recently connected a Hikvision DS-2FP2020 microphone to my Hik DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 camera, using a POE splitter i was trying to power both the camera and microphone off the same run of network cable connected to the NVR DS-7608NI-I2/8P. After everything was connected, i checked the status of my...

    So this happened the other night

    i realized my wyze cam that i have set up indoors to monitor my cats had a view of a tall window where she ran to in front of my vehicle so i decided to check the picture on that too, she clearly came up to that window and looked in real fast, but what was most interesting was that it recorded...

    So this happened the other night

    i definitely think she was coming down off something, seems like she ran up to my door with expectations of it being unlocked like it was some place familiar to her, then started to connect the dots and realized "something is different". What blows my mind is how quickly this took place, i was...

    Thinking of a new nvr

    one thing to take into consideration: your NVR supports decoding of up to 6 cameras at 1080p resolution each https://us.hikvision.com/sites/default/files/data_sheet/10381_vsds7600nieseries100115us.pdf(combined total of 12,441,600 pixels). if you're running all 8 cameras at max resolution (4mp)...

I disconnected power, took them down, pulled off the micro sd...

    Anyone using their Dahua cameras as motion sensors to activate floodlights?

    NVR with IFTTT ability maybe IFTTT and some wifi outlets/bulbs? motion sensor floodlights would by far be the easiest way to go

    Help understanding

    talking on this, I use a Hikvision NVR and i can run the IVMS app on my Nvidia Shield console to view camera feeds from my couch. I'm sure someone here would know if there is a tv app you could use for BI or a Dahua NVR. Heck, i imagine it wont be long before "Works with Alexa" is a topic title...

    critique my setup

    good to know, in that case i will need to relocate probably two of them. I only ever looked through the cliff notes in regards to the NVR and my network, guess i need to sit one night and read through the entire thing, learn myself something new

    critique my setup

    i thought about that when installing, but i wanted to stay as inconspicuous as possible and keep the cam out of arm's length, but i guess it wouldnt matter if they had a baseball bat. I may end up going with a pendant mount for it.

    camera changes resolution when changing video standard

    i started this thread, i dont know how i had two accounts. I just tried this as well: i changed ALL cameras to PAL, and when i did, the third camera changed its resolution to 640x380 again. It's like i can only have two cameras in NTSC or PAL standard at a time :wtf: i dont have a fourth camera...

    Hikvision Model Number Help

    links to the firmware for either camera downloads the same firmware, and according to this link (IPC) the firmware should be the same. not sure why Hikvision has two different portals for firmware, i guess one is for the consumer and one for the tech, even though they dont like dealing directly...

    i'm with you @sfnetwork. i did just enough research to know that hikvision and dahua would be the best options for what i wanted, but now that im into it a little more and see the limitations of PnP NVRs, instead of going with a higher capacity NVR when i upgrade (from my current 4 channel...

    SF, looking at hikvision's website, and clicking on the link for the DS-7608NI-E2/8P data sheet, the decoding section on the first page of the PDF states this: "Live View/Playback Resolution 6 MP/5 MP/3 MP/1080p/UXGA/720p/VGA/4CIF/DCIF/2CIF/CIF/QCIF" & "Capability 8-ch @ 720p, 6-ch @ 1080p"...

    Downsides to using VPN?

    Downsides to using VPN?

    I've successfully setup my Hikvision NVR to my network using an Asus RT88U router and followed suggestions of running OpenVPN, turning off uPnP, etc. I can remotely view the cameras just fine from my phone using the OpenVPN app and Hikvision app while on other wireless networks. I also read up...
