    Replacement power supply for Hikvision NVR?

    Hi folks, Any tips on where I might be able to source a replacement power supply for our DS7716NI-E4 NVR? Upon opening up the NVR, I noticed the current PSU is an FSP350-20GSV, made by FSP Group Inc. Searching Google leads me to an obsolete Amazon UK listing and nothing else. I noticed that...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Thanks for the info! Yeah, that's what it was, the language check. Good to know, I might try to update the NVR firmware. Gotcha, let me fire up that camera to check what FW is on there. The camera is a few years old already...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Thank you sir! That's what the new version removed, line crossing... If I upgrade to 5.4.5 with your new tools, would I be able to downgrade back to 5.2.5? Yeah I'm not sure. Unfortunately just like the cams I think newer firmware removed features, like ONVIF to access graymarket Hik cameras...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Amazing work! I have a bunch of CN 2132 cameras running 5.2.5 EN still. If these cameras are behind an NVR which is only accessible on my LAN (no port forwarding, I can only access my cameras via my VPN server), is there any motivation to update to 5.4.5? I remember a while ago that some camera...

    Where to get replacement PSU for HikVision NVR?

    Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone here has a good source to get replacement internal PSUs for HikVision NVRs, like this guy in the top left: http://i.imgur.com/dQwHfUa.jpg I have a DS-7716NI and the PSU fan is ridiculously loud, much louder than a coworker's who just bought the same NVR. I'd...

    Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English

    Whoops thought I was on the NVR thread. I'm eagerly looking for an update so that I can use TLS with SMTP, so yes, I need new firmware. How long have 5.2.5 folks left their firmware running continuously for? At the 6 month mark, 1 by 1 my cameras started freezing and needed a restart. I guess 6...

    Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English

    I really hope the Chinese cameras on V5.2.5 are one day upgradeable to V5.4.0 - dang Google deprecated SSLv3 and forces TLS now for SMTP, which isn't supported on older firmware...

    White flashes on HikVision 4MP cameras

    Anything I can try to get a chinese 63C2 camera to switch the languages?

    Hi folks, Is there anything I could try to get a chinese-market 63C2 to be in English for the Web UI / to interface with an EN NVR? Thanks!

    Replacing Fan In Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P NVR

    What about the fan inside the power supply? For me, that's by far the noisiest fan (with a high pitched whirr)

    Difference between motion detection and intrusion detection?

    Yes Hik NVR + Hik cameras. So then why with that setting to include images (in Email settings) do I only get motion detection images by email? With the other two I don't get images, just the emails.

    How to tell if my NVR is a Hikvision Europe NVR?

    Hey folks, wanted to consider upgrading again - anyone else been trying this out? Also - has anyone upgraded to 3.4 and tried the intrusion detection / line crossing detection? Would like to know if it finally attaches an image (like motion detection does) if these are set on the NVR (and not...

    Difference between motion detection and intrusion detection?

    Thanks! It looks like doing intrusion detection on the camera includes a photo in the email sent. However, I was doing motion/intrusion detection directly on the Hikvision NVR, which seems to only send a picture if I do motion detection.. I essentially have the same settings set up from my NVR..

    Difference between motion detection and intrusion detection?

    Can you share how you accomplished that?

    Difference between motion detection and intrusion detection?

    One difference I noticed is that only Motion detection includes images of the event in its email alerts - neither line crossing nor intrusion seems to include a photo.

    Missing option to test Email sending on my Hikvision 7716 NVR with 3.3.4?

    Hey folks, Wanted to try and set up email notifications. I have a bunch of Hik cameras connected to a Hik NVR. My understanding is because of connecting the cameras to POE, I can't have the cameras send email directly since the NVR doesn't act as a gateway for them, right? In which case, I...

    20 seconds recordings with gaps.

    Guessing it's the firmware. 5.2.8 firmware is known to do this. I downgraded to 5.2.5 and all was great. BTW that's 20 minutes, not 20 seconds :) The gap is the camera rebooting.

    How to tell if my NVR is a Hikvision Europe NVR?

    What exactly is H264+ and should I enable it?

    Hey folks, I've got a system that's been working well for a while now. My 2142 and NVR support H264+. Should I enable it? What exactly is it and what are the benefits? It seems like it's not a "real" H.264 standard? Thanks!

    4MP Live Stream on Mac OS X with Firefox plugin just flickers?

    Hey, small issue here, but are any folks here Mac users? Specifically, with the Web components plugin from Hikvision for Firefox on Mac, 4MP feeds always flicker and are unwatchable, but if for example I switch to a lower resolution feed (e.g. on the same camera, or on a different one), it's...

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    Are these NVR PSUs standard? Or are they some custom PSU? It does seem the high pitch whirr is coming from the PSU fan. Wondering if I can swap in a better PSU..
