Not sure what was happening with the virtual host not working but I did try this all again and got it working.... without using sadp. My network is setup ok. The poe switch is off my router and has vlan configured for the cameras and NVR. I connected the camera back to the NVR and tried right...

Hi All, I currently have some hikvision cameras (DS-2CD2H85FWD-IZS) connected into a 7608NI-I2 NVR but need to move the NVR so am trying to move the cameras to my POE switch instead. I've moved one so far by giving it a static ip in the same network as the NVR LAN IP whilst still connected to...

I already have one 8 channel NVR and who purpose of the second one was redundancy - record video streams on both. Not too keen on having one 8ch and the second a 16ch. Using Unifi cameras for my additional ones mitigates the need for a larger NVR as Unifi stores the video on the controller...

I am adding a camera. I just don’t think I need a 16 channel NVR hence the reason I’m looking at Unifi. Their cameras record into hdd’s in the controller.

I think it’s overkill. Looking at a Unifi G4 instead seeing as I have Unifi network gear.

Yes, the second NVR will also be an 8 channel. Thanks for clarifying. May have to look at other option to record the extra camera.

Hi All, I have a Hikvision DS 7608NI-I2/8p at the moment and have 8 cameras connected to it. Thinking of getting another one for redundancy. I did want to get one more camera but I read that the number of camera shouldn’t exceed the number of ports on the NVR. All cameras are connected...

Hi, wondering if anyone can shed some light on how the NetHDD feature works. I have a HikVision DS7608ni-i2/8p NVR and have setup my synology nas. In the NetHDD section of the NVR config, I can successfully search for the NAS and see the file share folder, add it and format it. The NVR does...

Ideally I’d like the NVR to backup to the nas but can’t get it working. I’ve googled and trawled through this and other forums without luck. I know people have done it but how? also, my cameras are connected straight into the NVR Poe ports.

Hi All, got a question on the NAS configuration on a Hikvision ds-7608ni-i2 NVR. I’m setting it up to connect to a Synology DS-213 and the NVR can see the NAS and fileshare but doesn’t actually record anything to it. Is it supposed to record to it simultaneously when the camera is...

Anyone?

Hi All, confused that there’s two sets of smart event settings - on the NVR and the camera itself. The NVR has all rows set to Armed but on the camera, it’s set to Event (purple) on all rows. is the camera setting actually used when there is an NVR or is that only used for local storage with...

Hi all, I’m not sure I understand the Storage Schedule settings on the NVR vs the cameras. On the NVR I have it set to Continuous but on the cameras it’s set to Event. Is the camera setting actually used or is that only for local storage on the camera (eg: sdcard)? Or is the camera setting...

To help reduce false alarms I also adjusted the Arm Schedule or one of my cams earlier as a test. So it won’t be armed when I leave for work for example so I don’t get alarms for those few minutes. Since I have continuous recording set, it should still capture these periods when the Intrusion...

So, is the idea that when I get notifications via email or in the iOS app, I manually search for them in the continuous recording to see the event? If so, it would definitely be better to have event markers on the continuous recording.

Maybe I confused things a bit with my bad choice of words. I have Motion Detection disabled and only use Smart Events like Intrusion Detection. Based on that, I’m assuming I won’t be able to see event markers?

This change worked. I’m using Continuous in the NVR and motion at the camera. Unfortunately it introduced a new issue. From the web portal, when I go to Playback, there are no motion triggers marked on the timeline anymore, it’s just one long recording. I assume this is the case as the Recording...

Thanks for your reply but I think it did do some checking before posting as I did say that I was aware of the solutions such as using IE Rab extension for Chrome or the Pale Moon browser. So your comments are not completely new to me. As per my post though, I was also cut as to why I could view...

Hi all, From the web portal I can configure my cams and view the live feed using chrome on my Mac. When I try log directly into the cams I get an error that the live feed doesn’t work and I need a plugin. I’m not sure that the real cause since I use the same browser to configure my NVR without...

So, maybe I’ll try Continuous recording in the NVR and motion in the camera. Since I have ‘line Crossing Detection’ enabled as well, will these settings work? I read that line Crossing Detection is an Event so just want to confirm.

Well, let me correct my previous response. All the settings here are defaults and I haven't changed anything. That said, under the 'Enabled' checkbox, the drop down list has 'Continuous' selected but all the rows for the days of the week are green which indicates 'Motion' according to the legend.

Hi All, Looks like I've figured this one out. In the Video/Audio section of the camera config, the extra 3 options disappear if you enable H.265+. Tested switching it off and they came back. Now I need to research these features and whether I even need them.

Hi, I just recently had 7x DS-2CD2H85FWD-IZS cams installed with a 7608 NVR. They are connected directly to the back of it. I enabled the Virtual Host feature in the NVR and logged in to each camera and can confirm they all run the same firmware version. In the Smart Event section on the NVR...

Hi All, New to the forums and this is my first post :) I just recently had some Hikvision camera's installed and have a question about how the Motion Events work. I know there are Basic Events and Smart Events and have configured Basic Motion Detection. Do I need to keep Basic Motion Detection...
