Thank you! Perfect solution and great explanation! As you gathered, I correctly stated that I knew nothing of which I spoke [typed] about. Computers I do much better with but security cameras and DVRs, I know absolutely nothing....and it shows. Your explanation and solution are greatly...

I appreciate that info although I suspected that was the problem. Issue I've run into is that the iVMS4200 GUI now has a lot of features that don't match up with the original 960H version. It is obvious that the GUI/firmware version was designed for IP cameras. I will offer that a kind...

best advise I can give about anything digital, is that if the thing in question is working, don't "fix" it. I trusted Hikvision firmware URL as telling the truth back in February. They weren't. A "new" firmware was available so I downloaded and flashed my DVR. Monitoring software functions...

******************************************** UPDATE: Installed PCNVR. Picture clarity second to none, considering surveillance system limitations. Go figure, right?

My DVR, on a routine basis, will seemingly go blank/black on the LCD monitor. I usually do a slow-count to see how long it takes to return to normal state of displaying camera feeds. Those counts can vary from 5 seconds to almost a full 60 seconds. It has to be the DVR because all 9 cameras go...

Previous postings provided details, but, it now appears that since I've turned my attention to remotely accessing/monitoring with the 3.1.4 build "firmware", it is impossible to get remote config to "stick"....specifically, Device Serial Number field now has a mask requirement. My DVR serial...

Man, with the apparent wealth involved, you'd think he could have afforded to buy someone who was competent at keeping his "stuff" secure..

******************** There was a time that I felt like I could hold my own on most things. Not anymore. I'm 62 years old, oilfield professional who went back to college at age 36 for a degree in InfoSys. I did not have many options available after being rear-ended. Neck fused two vertebrae...

******************** Wow! Man, you are full of information! Wish I had known about 1/20th of what you do when I put this system in. We would not have settled for 960H...price diff to have 1080p IP cams would not have been that great + I could have run CAT 6 cabling....much better than RG58 or...

*********************** Yes, sir! I'm ecstatic right now! NAS is recording redundantly as well as transcoding all video recorded on each cam to the NAS, to 1080P resolution, per each cam file. I'm going to set up a PC in back room, with several HDDs, and PCNVR to see if I can do redundant...

************************************* I've attached a pdf of screenshots showing camera and image config settings....oh, I changed Zero Channel Max Bitrate to 1792 Kbps. Original screenshot shows 1024. Nothing changed. Attached are screenshots that DO show the difference in clarity. [Was...

****************** You are correct. DVR is actually a digital recorder: https://www.123securityproducts.com/ds-7216hwi-sh.html I did not know that one could control the Live View resolution. The screenshots don't show what I'm seeing on my monitor. What is bizarre is that before I "updated"...

**************** Well, you would know better than I. I've always built my own boxes. The idea of 2 XEONs, with the fail-safe factor, was appealing. And, how much power does one really need to handle video compression and storage? But, like I said, you would know better than I. Oh, I don't use...

This post can be deleted as far as I am concerned, in case and admin cruises through here.

I think for the money, I'd go with some of those older model Dell 5500s w/dual Xeon 3.0 GHz CPUs and 24GB of RAM....powerful workhorses that can certainly handle a little video recording across HDDs....I found a couple on eBay in the $500-$600 range that had 1TB HDD and Win 7 Pro...

Analog "Live View" is blurred around the edges of images until brought into focus by double-clicking on the frame you want to enlarge. Is there a reason for this? I don't recall this problem until upgrading to "newest" firmware for DS-7216HWI-SH DVR. In fact, the "firmware" version that I...

"Site Under Construction" is message I get on your link. FYI

Final installment: All client monitoring software issues resolved. AND, I can say with some exuberance, the DVR is now recording to my QNAP 469 Pro, redundantly! No idea how I made it happen. Just stumbled into it after ensuring rights were good on NAS share and going into Storage Server tab...

Resolved issue by deleting and re-installing previous version of client software...works just fine. Apparently, after upgrading firmware on DVR, every device that you once used to monitor the DVR prior to the "upgrade", must have the client software re-installed...in that I am not a programmer...

Laptop Resolution: iVMS4200 v2.4.1.3 install consistently generates an error message of: "sadp_npf failed to install. Please close related program and try again". Decided tS4200 v2.02. Successful installation of the v2.02 client. Basic install tweaks and current camera images being displayed...

Managed to get the client installed on the Win 8.1 box. Haven't played with the laptop any since prob encountered. Will provide update if I get a resolution on the laptop.

Disregard inquiry, please. I deleted and re-installed the client. All is well.

OK...further investigation yielded that the DVR config setting in Network had been reset to DHCP. I have absolutely no idea how that happened - it was not initiated by me. That said, I think now that it would be safe to bet on Error Code 302 having to do with "target not found as specified"...

Hikvision Error Code 302: Apparently is assigned to network connectivity. I was running client iVMS4200 on both a Win 8.1 and Win 7 Pro box simultaneousy when both Live Views went black and displayed the message: "Blah, blah, blah, camera is disabled or not connected. [302]" Not sure what the...

******************** Man, if that doesn't beat all. Watchdog was running, but eliminating it did not end in a success install of the client. I had to unload the backup software completely. So, order of installation AFTER a "firmware update" is: Install the iVMS4200 client first & Remote Net...

I've put all of this out here so that anyone else caught like this can go through and filter out whatever they might need to get things back to normal.

Re: What does &quot; Verifocal&quot; imply? I vote for motorized AND PTZ! Thank you! - - - Updated - - - Thank you, sir! Greatly appreciated! <----both responses
