I have a 3 camera iVMS 4200 CCTV system with a Hikvision NVR DS-7604NI-E1-4P (copied from my original invoice which has SEAGATE SURVEILLANCE 7TH GEN 3.5 HDD, 3TB typed underneath ) and I presume the latter to be the HD in the NVR. But I have hit a problem today which I have never seen before. It...

Thank you Alastair, I'll have a read of those posts.

Thank you for that biggen. Yes, I am recording 24/7 and I have played with the motion detection on my system but that just sets up an area where, if motion is detected, then I can see it easily. But the problem is that if I want to cover all aspects of my premises then I have to install more...

Hello everyone. This is a question that I asked a couple of years ago so apologies for the repeat. I have had my Hikvision CCTV system on the farm for about 4 years now and I have what I would have thought was a simple question. I have asked my supplier for help but they do not respond. My set...

I had a friend who used a Sirius in his industrial distribution business and in fact he persuaded me to get a pc in the first place. I had quite a few customers in my line of work as well as my main business and it certainly proved useful. At the time I had only just about got to grips with the...

I grew up at the DOS prompt I'll have you know (when I was in my 40th year ;) ) Windows didn't appear until about 2 years later. No images or anything like that of course. Word processing was with SuperWriter, spreadsheet was Supercalc. Zipping was done with PKZIP. I had a dual floppy green...

No, for my sins I haven't tried that. I am always just a bit concerned about installing 3rd party software. But I think I will probably try it later. I should have probably mentioned that I am a desktop man using a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.

There has been a development ! I have been playing around with my Video To Video utility and have discovered that if I convert the video emanating from the NVR using the option M2TS option (as shown below) the resultant video quality is as good as the original but also that Power Director...

Thank you. Have sent a PM.

Sorry but I am being a bit thick. I haven't zipped files for years. I do have 7-Zip on my PC but I downloaded WinZip anyway. But when I tried both utilities the resultant MP4 file was still 8129k in size, actually slightly larger than the original ! What on Earth am I doing wrong please ?

Thank you. Have sent the PM but hit a problem as you will see.

Thank you. Yes, I can do that. I have just grabbed 10 seconds of night view from one of the cameras. Is that enough ? It is 7.93mb. It is from a Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MP EXIR Turret Dome Camera, 4mm. I do have a PTZ camera on the system but Power Director still doesn't like that either. I...

I have just found this on my system. Am I in the right place ?

Thank you for the reply. Yes, sorry, the NVR is recording the videos. I presume that I can check the camera web GUI Video/Audio tab when I go into the Control Panel somewhere ? As an aside, if I change the GUI Video/Audio tab from h.265+ to h.265 does that detract from the quality of the video ?

Thank you for that. I'll come back to you about that later if I may.

I hope this is in the right place. Would the Mods please move if it isn't. I have a Hikvision CCTV system that produces videos in MP4 format. But my Cyberlink Power Director video editing software won't accept the videos straight out of the NVR for editing. I have no problems with editing MP4...

Thanks Tony. I'm afraid I can't answer your question but I had a look at my Wife's iPad and there were no other icons/bars than there is shown on mine above. No signal strength indicators or anything like that. What I did find bizarre is that she doesn't appear to be logged in (when you click...

I have just purchased a mini iPad for a completely different project. It is my first Apple product, I'm a Windows man really. But I also thought it would be a good idea to have the ability to view my 3 camera Hikvision CCTV system on it in the same way that my Wife does on her normal sized iPad...

Thanks for all that. I will investigate.

Thank you Master Tinkerer. At least that tells me that it isn't possible at the moment. But I ask you please to consider this as an example of why this could be useful : I have a farm. My cameras point to various places and inevitably of course they capture field views. In the U.K. at the moment...

It looks as if I posted this topic in the wrong place. Can someone suggest where it should be please ?

Thanks for thw warm welcome folks. Have put my avatar on now.

Hello everyone, I just joined this Forum because although I have had my Hikvision CCTV system on the farm for about 2 years now I have what I would have thought was a simple question. I have asked my supplier but they do not respond. My set up is a Hikvision NVR with a 3TB drive, 2 Hikvision 4mm...

Hello everyone, I have just joined this Forum because I have what I think is a simple question about my Hikvision CCTV set up on the farm here but I will post the question in the appropriate section (hopefully !!)
