I have Ezviz h8c 2K+ camera with latest firmware. Its working perfectly fine on Ezviz Studio/App and shows video in full resolution. I was able to add it easily to Hikvision 7616 nvr and its shows sub-stream on NVR as well. However, when I view camera in full-screen, then it goes blank. I've...

It's been few months and we're not getting any notifications from Smart Events i.e. intrusion detection etc. Curious, is it because we're supposed to configure the Smart Events in NVR vs Cameras? For example, we have a AcuSense camera setup to detect human and then flash light. I walked in...

Currently have two DS-2CD2043G0-I (4MP) cameras for narrow alleys on both sides of the house. The problem is that wind blowing leaves and stray cats etc trigger the smart event on them all the time (false alarms). The latest version of these cameras (DS-2CD2046G2-IU) have AcuSense feature...

Currently have all Hikvision 4MP IP cameras and NVR and happy with Day/Night image quality. Needed to install a camera outdoor near the Gate/boundary wall and was about to buy Hikvision Turret 4mp. But came across Ezviz (consumer friendly brand of Hikvision) and their C8W Pro 2K camera with...

Have Hikvision setup at home and need to give access to few cameras to a family member, but not all the cameras e.g. the ones inside the house. Is that possible? I do see a share nvr option and it allows multiple cameras, but how does that work practically? Do I need two separate Hik-Connect...

Need to install a camera next to the Gate to identify people outside. The issue is bullet aren't secure and can be moved using a stick. I personally don't like the design of turret, plus it also gives away the direction of the camera. So thinking of installing Hikvision dome facing downward...

I'm interested in adding a 3 cameras to my house, 1 bullet and 2 ptz. Hikvision cameras are quite expensive (especially PTZ) so thinking of going the aliexpress route. There are a couple of PTZ onvif cameras with quite a lot of sales/reviews on aliexpress and seem like a good buy. Curious which...

I installed a mini bullet camera on the sidewall of the house and tried adjusting it but can't seem to get a clear shot of the alley because camera base is too small and camera sits close to the wall. Any ideas/products on how to move the camera away from the wall a bit? It'll be nice if the...

I was planning on installing Bullet/Turret cameras outside - since these are the recommended ones for exterior walls, however, no hikvision Easy IP 3.0 bullet/turret camera has audio interface to connect a mic. I find it really odd that only Domes have the audio/alarm interface. Is there a...

Was planning on getting regular 4MP domes but found out that Mini-Domes have built-in microphones - which is something I want. So wondering if there are performance differences between Dome and Mini-Dome? or any quirks specific to mini-domes?

I got the nvr brand new from Hikvision official store couple of weeks ago. Since day 2, I've noticed the mouse stops working (cursor disappears). It usually happens after I haven't interacted with the NVR for few hours (e.g. overnight). When it happens, the mouse laser light is on (indicating...

Is there a huge difference between sensor image quality between 1, 2 and 2plus lines? I went to the local Hikvision shop/distributor and asked for a 3MP Dome camera for indoor use (no need for night vision). The cheapest one was 1-line, he said for the same price I can have 1.3MP 2-line, and...

I've spent hours trying to figure out which cameras are good for low light/night color recording. On this forum, it looks like Starlight is the gold standard, however, looking at specs for Hikvision's EasyIP 3.0 2355 Turret (5MP), the lux ratings are nearly identical. Does that mean hikvision...

Hi, I'm new to home security camera scene from the research I've done. In Pakistan, we have two main brands Dahua and Hikvision, with Hikvision being more popular. I really like the idea of Line Intrusion/Tripwire detection features in their cameras. Do these work well? Which brand has better...
