hikvision no more camera is allowed

[mike101]

hi,
i have a hikvision dvr, with added 12 analog cam and 2 ip cam.
but when i tried to add 3rd ip cam. it say "no more camera is allowed".
i can remove 2nd ip cam, and add 3rd one , its possible.
but when i add all the 3 ipcam, the error comes out again.
anyone know how to fix this?

Have a look at the specs for the dvr to see what the max supported is.

the model is DS-7216HGHI-F1

Video/Audio Input
Audio Input: 1-ch
Video Compression: H.264,H.264+
Analog Video Input: 16-ch
Analog and HD-TVI video input: 1080p25, 1080p30, 720p25, 720p30
IP Video Input: 2-ch (up to 18-ch)
IP Video Input Resolution: Up to 2 MP resolution

does it mean only support max 2 ip camera?

Yes, this model supports max 2 IP cameras.
Nevertheless, using the latest firmware V3.4.89 build 180906(For HGHI-F) it's possible to disable analog channel, and replace it with IP channel (for example 15 analog + 3 IP cameras).

okay , will upgrade the firmware reset settings already there? and whats the safest way to upgrade the firmware ?

 

[Dreamboat]

No, firmware upgrade normally keeps the settings. Hard to say what's the safest way - either browser (IE) or iVMS4200. Most often I use browser.
