I was able to get it to work in Home Assistant with the following syntax: curl -k --silent -H "Content-Type:application/xml" -X PUT -d '<?xml version="1.0 encoding="UTF-8"?><MountingScenario><mode>normal</mode></MountingScenario>' http://CAMERA_IP:65003/ISAPI/Image/channels/1/mountingScenario...

Ok I'll give those a shot! Thanks

I see what you're doing with changing the values for the Image Parameters Switch on the monthly basis. I suppose one could continuously update those values based off of sunrise/sunset times. But that is why I wanted to keep Image Parameters Switch off and just hard change the Scene as you...

Hello all - since Hikvision cameras are limited to a hard time set on a monthly basis, I'm trying to tie in the cameras into my smart home (Home Assistant) and using the curl command to change the scene from Normal to Low Illumination and vice versa. This way I'll be able to automate it around...

Hello, is it possible to auto switch the cameras from the "Normal" scene to "Low Illumination" scene? Currently I have it on a month-by-month schedule based on time, but that seems so clunky - would rather base it off illumination/sunrise/sunset. I see the option for Day/Night Switch, but that...

Update! I put up my final camera with a small overlapping view of those LED lights and I didn't observe any flicking in that camera. I took a deep dive to compare the settings between the 2 and found the culprit. Enabling HLC above 40% was causing the strobing effect! I turned that option...

Ok, I tried out both 50Hz and 60Hz with every combination of exposure time. I can only change the amount/speed of strobe but never get rid of it. I suppose I just have to find an adequate setting with the least amount of annoyance. I changed the I-frame as well, but it didn't seem to affect...

Hey! Incredible kudos to you. I did not have the virtual host option set. This now lets me into the camera GUI which unlocks a lot more options and I have found the 50/60 Hz option! I can also control white balance now, which is great because the new string lights turned the picture super...

I’ll try that tonight when it’s dark again. These are the ColorVu version so no IR night setting. I’ll see how 1/60th does for getting a good picture at night and if it solves the LED flickering. I appreciate all the advice so far!

I updated the firmware on both the cameras and NVR (both Hikvision). Still can’t access the camera GUI remotely. So I lugged my monitor into my network closet and directly attached it to the NVR. I was able to see camera settings, no Hertz options, but I did find this that I will play with...

Ok, last night I tried removing the dimmer and powering it via a battery inverter (lawnmower battery) and it did not solve anything. I still cannot find the settings for individual cameras. The website says there should be a URL under the "connect" column (in my last screenshot), but mine is...

alastairstevenson - I'm not sure if I can access the camera GUI. This is what I see under camera management:

I'm poking around the setting of the Hikvision NVR and I can't find anywhere to change from 60 to 50 Hz.. Still waiting for dark to test some things out. Screenshots of what I'm looking at:

Ok, I'll test it out this evening since it's too bright out right now. I do have them plugged into an outdoor outlet on my house, which I'd preferably like to keep that way since I have them connected to a z-wave dimmer tied into my smart house - would rather not have to fiddle with a battery...

Hello, I have a Hikvision POE 4k ColorVu camera that captures my back patio where the LED string lights are. I am getting a weird slow strobe effect. I have tried changing the frame rate from full, 22, 20, 18, 16, 15, 12, 10... and none of those values fix the strobing. I see there is also an...

Thanks for the quick reply. Sounds like these are "the ones" for me!

Hello folks, been doing a lot of lurking researching about the many companies for IP security cameras and I keep finding that the Hikvision 2032s have awesome reviews. I think I've settled on 4 of these with the 7608 NVR. My intended setup will be to have one on each corner of the house...
