Apologies I sent my last query before fully reading the above. I see you have covered my question. Thanks.

I managed to recall the password and the cameras are now all reconnected. It is a weakish password. Not a real concern, but is there a way of changing it without losing and having to reset the cameras?

I sold my Delorean to a chap with wild hair - actually looked like the hair I had left until a few years back. Thanks for the further guidance. My problem with SADP is that it doesn't like Apple Mac much, but I will see what I can do tomorrow. My wife has suggested I use variations of Wally for...

Hello After adding 2 new cameras to my setup, I thought I'd do a little tidying up. I have 6 Hikvision cameras connected to an 8 port Hikvision NVR. It was a bit of a concern to me that I was unsure about the passwords I had used when I first set the NVR up about 5 years ago (careless I know)...

Thanks again JB1970. I did as you suggested and it worked the second time (I may have bungled the first attempt). I had previously closed the app rather than logging out and that was clearly ineffective. Looking back my lack of knowledge made me overcomplicate things when I saw a new camera go...

Thank you. That is very helpful. I will do as you suggest.

I've posted another specific query about one of my NVR poe connected cameras showing as "offline" on Hik Connect but showing ok on the NVR's monitor without obvious cause. More generally, can anyone advise on this - with cameras connected to an NVR does Hik -Connect connect via the NVR only or...

Hello I had a new camera added to my domestic setup on Friday - a DS-2CD3T86G2-4IS connected directly to a POE NVR via a newly installed cat cable. It was visible on Hik Connect on my iPhone. Since yesterday however it shows as being offline on Hik Connect. I have another 5 cameras connected...

Thanks again Dan. That is helpful and informative - particularly the advice about 4MP v 8MP indoors. I want a wired camera as the cabling is already in place. I suspect I misread the model number when I read that it was wireless. I will go for the DS-2CD2546G2-IS 4MP.

Thanks for the quick response. On one site I see that the camera you suggest is described as having "wireless" connectivity although being powered by poe. Is that correct? Also, an electrician I have used regularly today suggested that the DS-2CD2583G2-IS 8MP might be a good fit. What do you...

I'm gradually updating my domestic cctv system. We are in a relatively remote rural location and have internal and external POE Hikvision cameras connected to a NVR. One of the internal cameras has become erratic and unreliable. I've checked and the problems are definitely with the camera and...

This worked more easily than I anticipated. I already had a number of ethernet switches working on my network, though none had POE capability. I started off attaching the new cameras to the NVR directly, plug and play, using patch leads. I then found I could remove them and attach them to any...

Thanks Dan. I'll check that out.

I want to add a new camera to my setup. I already have a HIKVISION outdoor DS-2CD2083G0-I 8.0MP 4K bullet camera that works well for me, but there doesn't seem t be a lot of stock around now and I would like to know if there are similar or improved alternatives available in that price range. Any...

Thanks.Your assistance is appreciated. I will look at the Guide.
