Hi, Thanks for the help. My cams were installed by a (presumably licensed) Hikvision installer, but I did my research at the time and made sure he was not sourcing Chinese Ebay models (can confirm there is no CCCH in serial). I had a lot of trouble trying to find firmware from the Hikvision...

Thanks, I wonder if that's the issue. The cam (a model DS-2CD2132F-I) which went down recently has firmware of V5.2.0 build 140721 I did not power cycle it this time, it just came back on its own (or BlueIris was able to reboot it, but this seems unlikely since in order to reboot it, it would...

My setup is this... - 6 HikVision cams, bought and installed from a licensers reseller. EU firmware - All cams are wired to a Hikvision NVR, which records 24/7 - Each cam has its own IP on my LAN so I can access them individually without going via my NVR (I do not use the NVR's NAT feature) -...

Thankyou, I was able to set it back to auto from BlueIris iOS app. I think I had re-enabled PTZ controls from Blueiris Windows to stop it being greyed out on iOS

Could you tell me where the IR button is? I see a bulb icon at the bottom of BI, but its disabled entirely. I also cant find any mention of 'mode' in the camera settings (there's just so many tabs and controls though, so I'm probably missing it) Thanks!

I have a whole bunch of Hikvision cams, which are hooked up to a Hikvision NVR. I also have all the cams feeding into BlueIris for motion detection and alerts. One of these cams is stuck permanently in IR mode (black and white during day) I cant figure out what I've done to cause this, and...

I just spent ages trying to find this too. You need to go into Group Management, the in the right list, select the camera and click the Modify button

I have a cam in a hydroponics grow tent, and want BlueIris to build a timelapse video of my pepper plants growing To do this I have set BI to record 'Continuous', with a "Alt/Timelapse framerate' of 1800000000 [30.00 min]" Ive then set 'Combine or cut video each' '24 hours' I was hoping this...

Have you thought about just using the blue iris Web interface? Alternatively have Blue Iris push JPGs to a web server, and write a very simple webpage which embeds those JPGs and refreshes periodically

Great tip, thanks. I;d hate to have to go through all that again :nightmare: Cool! I may well be interested in selling it on at some point. I invested quite heavily in the HikVision NVR (8TB WD storage mostly to future-proof it, rather than it being immediately necessary), so I need to be...

Yes, all cams are now showing as 'Online' despite being on the same subnet as the NVR itself. Not that I've noticed. Everything seems to be working as it was before. Here is a screenshot of my NVR config right now... As you can see, each cam is on my 192.168.1.0/24 LAN subnet, and the...

Turns out its me who needs a kick :laugh: I was starting to think I was attempting the impossible, but really I should have gone back and checked the basic steps.. My house was only recently cabled with cat5, and so instead of connecting my new PoE into the router, it seems I just picked up one...

I have a Hikvision NVR (DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A) with 6 HV cams. I've been a little unhappy with the NVR for some time, so have finally got round to buying an 8-port PoE switch, which will allow me to explore other options like BlueIris. Right now though, I'm trying to just configure one of the cams...

Oops, you're right. I have the E2 model True, I wasn't apportioning blame to Hikvision, just stating the reality of the situation Thats a shame, it would be really useful and address a lot of my criticisms if it automatically took you to the relevant point in time in the recording. Initially...

What features are you looking for in the NVR? I have the DS-7608NI-I2/8P, fitted out with 8Tb storage. Initially I was very happy with it, but as I've dug deeper, Im finding its quite inflexible, and some features are somewhat stupid in the way they operate. Main complaints... - Very poor Mac...

Not sure what you mean by quieter? PoE does not mean the NVR will be noisy. There may be a fan in the NVR, but it would need one anyway. Mine is virtually silent If your NVR supports PoE, it doesn't mean it *has* to use it. PoE doesn't work by just blindly powering the cable, there is a...

I've a DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A (3.2.1 firmware), and 6 cams (5 domes DS-2CD2132F-I, 1 minidome DS-2CD2532F-IWS) All these were bought through an authorised uk vendor Overall everything is working, but trying to configure it how I want is proving impossible... 1) All cams are recording 24/7 to the...

Thanks Alastair, this is very useful. Can I just confirm, HIKTOOLS is a 'community' tool, and is not the same thing as Hikvision Tools which they provide on their website? I've a fair bit of experience of reverse engineering, but right now I'm still not up to speed with the psh shell and...

Could you help me understand how you are running these commands on your NVR? Do you just telnet/ssh into the NVR and have access to linux, or must you use some serial connection? I can telnet into mine but still cannot bypass the Busybox thing on my NVR, so commands like cat are not even...

Thanks, my problem is my NVR does not allow access to the underlying linux filesystem, even after I enable telnet and log in (so cannot use the soln in that thread). Instead I'm presented with a heavily crippled busybox (with a small number of commands - more of an API than an OS) I could not...

Does this work for you? Even after re-enabling NPAPI and restarting Chrome, the Mac plugin still cannot load. When I look at chrome://plugins I see the NPAPI flag has taken effect (its now listing more plugins than it was) but it doesn't list any plugin which appears to be the one the NVR is...

The windows and mac clients I use, just connect to my NVR as 'admin' Its possible to set up a restricted user on my NVR which only allows viewing of cams, and then change the Windows and mac clients to use that login. Quite how this translates into your streaming server setup, I'm not sure...

I have an DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A with firmware 3.2.1 This firmware disables telnet by default, but you can re-enable it using the latest Windows client (although apparently not the NVR's web interface.. odd) I see no way to enable an SSH service on the NVR, but I guess it doesnt matter so much as I...

There's a few people over at cctv forum who have documented the whole process. Its a little technical though, so not everyone should be encouraged to have a crack at it http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=44991

I too have bought a DS-7608NI-E2/8P (from a professional installer), and it came preinstalled with Firmware 3.2.1. No problems with using the NVR's PoE ports here though I'm really confused though, because I can spend ages trawling the various HikVision download sites and cannot find any...

Not sure how much of this is relevant to you..... I recently got a HikVision NVR plus cams installed, aswell as being a Mac owner too You can certainly view the cams simultaneously from Mac, Mobile and Windows clients (although this is probably due to me using an NVR). Anyway if you've got a...

I have a HikVision 7608 NI-E2/8P/A I'm trying to access the cams individually from my LAN (192.168.1.*), but its not possible because all cams are on the NVR's internal interface (192.168.254.*) I believe the Virtual host option is for this very purpose. It would allow me to add a static...
