    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.

    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...

    Inconsistent Camera Features Showing in NVR - SOLVED

    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...
