    DS-7608NI-K2/8P Latest Firmware

    Hm the latest I'm seeing in Product Firmware > Hikvision > 04 Back Ends > 02 K Series > [76 77 86 NI-K] > [76 77 86 NI-K2 K4 K8] is 1 V4.71.005 build 220524. What path are you navigating through to see the version you reference?

    Hik-Connect Network unstable when viewing playback on Hik-Connect

    It may well be the V5 app. I updated the firmwares and the Connect app on the same day so have been trying to work out what caused the issue (to no avail). However as you are having the same issue and have not changed the firmware it has to be the V5 app IU guess.

    Hik-Connect Network unstable when viewing playback on Hik-Connect

    I saw the issue after updating to the latest firmwares / v5 of the Connect app, wish I'd never updated.

    Help with HIKVision Virtual Machine access (via Homebridge on a Synology NAS)

    Very well pleased—the key for getting it working for myself on the native homebridge package was the video processor change in advanced settings. So I'm now runing without the overhead of having to run Docker. Many thanks!

    Okay I'll have another go at it likely over Christmas :)

    Help with HIKVision Virtual Machine access (via Homebridge on a Synology NAS)

    Thanks I'll start investigating. Newbie question how did you install the npm's in Homebridge? From what I recall when I tried that I couldn't work out how to get npm installs working? Of If I did fins where to do it (Homebridge terminal) I didn't have the needed permissions.

    Help with HIKVision Virtual Machine access (via Homebridge on a Synology NAS)

    Interesting, I did similar but had to use Docker and got ffMPEG installed within that. Bookmarked this as if I can reconfigure to get it working in this manner I can then get rid of Docker. Can you share which homebridge module you used and the config that with it?

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    Yep I've seen that a few times, usually accompanied by the camera rebooting :)

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    Interesting I wasn't aware but they seem to match okay anyway: Phew! :) I'm wondering if I should review settings on the NVR itself at some point.

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    Well in the end to stabilise things the less important cameras (garage roof & patio) have been turned down to the next highest resolution and bitrates to 2560, the important camera (Drive) has been set as follows, that is a lower bitrate and audio turned off. Turning audio off (it was never on...

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    I'll not worry about it too much then and just use the web UX :) They will update the app eventually I guess, maybe....

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    It's interesting that the web config portal for the NVR and iVMS differ as to what resolutions are allowed to be set on the cameras. I guess the web GUI should be used?

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    It is weird as it's always worked without the server port being forwarded. Anyway it is now so we'll see how it goes!

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    Okay I on the ports I was looking at Static routes which had been disabled. The RTSP ports were forwarded and I've now added the server port in. Pot 80 is used for accessing my forum which I host on my NAS so I have settings configured for that which I don't want to alter :) Dropping the...

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    Okay so I'll set the NVR DNS to 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare IIRC) and 192.168.1.254 (Orbi as a backup). UPnP is definitely a no go :) Port forwarding I can set up, but which ports would we be looking to forward? What gets me is that the system as been set up this way by the installer and has been...

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    Okay to feed back: The Virgin Business Router is definitely in pass through mode. The NVRs IP of 192.168.1.77 is reserved in the Orbi as a static address so should be fine Again network settings should be fine. \I've turned off DHCP on the NVR. The NVR DNS settings have been changed to 8.8.8.8...

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    Okay so if I was set up using IP/domain would that still work when out and about? If so how do you go about setting that up? There has never been any port forwarding set up on the router to work with the NAS. The NVR is configured as: Yes the Orbi is set up correctly? The Virgin router is...

    HIK-Connect on the iPhone - questions....

    Hmm, we've not had a problem with it prior to either the new version of HIK-Connect or the firmware update. Easiest solution is to knock it down to Basic view instead of HD. I might reboot the NVR and see if it makes any difference. The Orbi network has been stable for 2 years and the CCTV...
