    Hikvision Test email fails?

    Are you using an "app password" from Outlook? As Kyle said above, for email services that support it you will need to generate an email "App Password" for the NVR. You need to enable some form of 2-factor authentication on your MS/Outlook account and then generate an app password there that you...

    PoE switch issues with camera connected?

    Isn't that a smart managed switch? Have you configured IP/username/password? Logon and check firmware is up-to-date as well as what the port status or perhaps log messages say etc. Also, confirm what the IP addresses are of each device in the network - confirm there are no duplicated IP addresses.

    @JB1970 where you say you updated via iVMS could you detail exactly where/how that is done for NVRs / Cameras? Thanks

    Firmware Cannot update a UK M-Series NVR from 4.63.020? [SOLVED]

    I have not solved this but I think I now know the reason - I think it's to do with the network config but I don't understand why. I am at site A and the NVR is at site B. A network and B network are connected via (DrayTek) router Lan-to-Lan VPN. I just confirmed the problem with batch config...

    Firmware Cannot update a UK M-Series NVR from 4.63.020? [SOLVED]

    I have a UK DS-7616NI-M2/16P NVR which was supplied with firmware V4.63.020_230808 (Don't know if it's relevant but hardware version is B-R-K21B1-00) I have read through the couple of long threads here about M-Series V5 firmware and I thought as things have now hopefully settled down and...

    H8 ANPR cameras - struggling with night capture [SOLVED]

    o.k. I finally got to the bottom of this with the help of direct HikVision support - I was pleasantly surprised to get responses from them. It's all to do with the "Exposure -> Gain" setting. The H8 ANPR guide does say to set Gain to 20 BUT if the day/night switch is set to Auto then the Gain...

    Missing VCA option in new ANPR camera?

    @trempa92 just an update - V5.8.50 unfortunately seems to make no difference to exposure settings verses V5.7.80 It literally seems impossible to get a black video feed at night on these UK H8 cameras - my older H3 ANPR cameras show a jet black video feed at night (what I would expect). The new...

    Missing VCA option in new ANPR camera?

    @trempa92 I found V5.8.50_240806 on the UK Portal here which my camera DID accept. And that is the completely new web interface. So I will see if that makes any difference to the night capture / exposure at night on this camera. I might risk trying the global website update to V5.8.60_240807...

    Missing VCA option in new ANPR camera?

    @trempa92 I tried them all now and still no luck. I even tried going back to the older one on the UK web site (V5.7.80_230712) but it won't let me do that either. This sucks...

    Missing VCA option in new ANPR camera?

    Hi @trempa92 I tried V5.8.50_240306 and it's the same - didn't work. This camera is on V5.8.20_231024 which I must have downloaded from the global site I think. That version/revision is not even listed on the Euro portal link you posted. I did also try V5.8.40_231023 as that seemed to be...

    H8 ANPR cameras - struggling with night capture [SOLVED]

    @trempa92 I tested higher exposure settings (1/4000 and above) and the image gets super-grainy but the amount of light getting in still does not seem to reduce. For example, an image at 1/4000: Although the camera DOES seem to capture more plates at 1/4000 so some success I guess. And as I...

    Missing VCA option in new ANPR camera?

    @trempa92 today I tried to upgrade my H8 which was on the 5.8.20 firmware to the 5.8.60 but it does not seem to accept it... When I click the "Upgrade" button then click o.k. I get an "Upgrading" dialog with progress. It stays at 0 for a few minutes then just returns to the "Maintenance" page...

    H8 ANPR cameras - struggling with night capture [SOLVED]

    @trempa92 thanks and yes, I agree and I have exactly that setup - anywhere with an ANPR I have a normal camera too. With older cameras I always set to 1/2000 and no problems - black screen as you say at night but successful capture of plates. But these new H8 camera sensors just seem to let...

    H8 ANPR cameras - struggling with night capture [SOLVED]

    @trempa92 here are the settings for the problem H8 camera. Any advice appreciated. It's a narrow-ish country road where vehicles could be to one side of the road or could be in the middle of the road, on a bend where vehicles generally will be going fairly slow as I said before. No problems with...

    Can an ANPR camera connected direct to M-Series NVR ftp captured images?

    @Phil, no prob, but, I am pretty sure the answer is no as the FTP config is on the camera, I could not see any FTP config on the NVR so I couldn't see the M Series being any different to older models in that regard. Some previous installs I have most cameras connected to NVR then a small PoE...

    H8 ANPR cameras - struggling with night capture [SOLVED]

    @trempa92 thanks, I used to set my old ANPR cameras to 1/2000 to successfully capture at night but the H8 guide says: Speed < 30km/h — Exposure Time : 1/150-1/200; 30km/h < Speed < 60km/h — Exposure Time : 1/250-1/500; 60km/h < Speed — Exposure Time : 1/500-1/1000 I guess my estimate of 30mph =...

    H8 ANPR cameras - struggling with night capture [SOLVED]

    I have a few of the newer H8 ANPR cameras iDS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHSY I have experience with the older versions of these cameras and know how to tweak exposure settings etc on those to get reliable plate capture day and night. However, the new H8 models have very different camera sensors which seem...

    Pyronix Home Control 2.0 - adding smart devices such as switches and plugs?

    I am reasonably sure the cloud it's talking about is the Pyronix Cloud (https://www.pyronixcloud.com/). You can register an account but the first thing it asks is to "Register New System" where it needs "System ID" and "Cloud Password (as entered in the alarm panel)". So your alarm installer...

    Missing VCA option in new ANPR camera?

    @trempa92 The newest H8 I have (on I have on 5.7.80) has: "Region" dropdown with only a single entry "Europe Region". Then it has: "Country/Region" dropdown with a large list of countries (mostly Europe but a few others like Russia). I do actually have another one of these cameras which I...

    @trempa92 thanks for the info, so just to clarify: HikVision Global Site has this page iDS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHS(Y) with Firmware_V5.8.60_240807 HikVision UK Site has this page iDS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHSY#UK with Firmware_V5.7.80_230712 My serial number does have WR in it ...AAWRFB... so are you saying...
