I've now managed to get the event emails working, but there are lots of strange things happening that I don't really understand. I have 5 cameras, all DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL's and all on the same firmware version. Nothing I did would get event emails sent for my "test" camera, so, to test event...

Hi Kyle, unfortunately setting SMTP port to 587 and rebooting the NVR hasn't made any difference. The email test still works, but I'm not getting emails for events. It makes me wonder if my event capture settings (shown above) are correct, or if I have missed some config somewhere. Is there...

Hi Kyle, I can confirm the sender's address is a Gmail address. I have my own domain name, which is configured to be used by Google, so it doesn't actually matter what appears before the domain identifier part of the email address, it will always get to me. I have allowed for the Google...

I have the following setup: 5 x 4MP DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL cameras connected to a DS-7609NI-I2/8P NVR. I have configured email on the NVR as follows: Instead of "mydomain" I used my own domain name. Clicking the Test button works and an email is successfully sent and received. I've done this...

Thanks for posting your solution. It's certainly different! In the end I placed my NVR in a loft storage cupboard, which also houses my switch, network storage device and a few other bits and pieces. I had to fit a wider shelf and some additional cable trunking but it wasn't too difficult...

I've already installed 3 x DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL turret cameras around the outside of my home, connected to a DS-7609NI-I2/8P NVR. I'm now looking for a camera to use in a front door porch as a method of monitoring visitors and communicating with them when I'm away from home. Here's the porch...

As I asked a similar question on another thread, I thought I would update this with my findings, although maybe the cable reducing inserts mentioned above might be a better solution. Mounting a DS-2CD2347G1-LU turret camera to a DS-1280ZJ-DM21 Junction box?

Just thought I'd give an update on the solution I came up with to ensure the cable entry point on the DS-1280ZJ-DM21 junction box was water tight. Some figures first: 1. The cat6 unshielded cable I was using was a slim 6.2mm in diameter. I purposely chose a "thin" cat6 cable to make it easier...

Hi @JB1970 , I'm looking for a camera to use in my front door porch, specifically to capture video of anyone who enters the porch and to enable 2-way communication should I be away from home (but obviously without them knowing this!!!), so it would need to be able to alert me. Essentially, I...

I'm having exactly the same problem getting the gland to tighten on the DS-1280ZJ-DM21 junction box. My cat6 cable is "only" 6.3mm, but I can't tighten the junction box nut up enough to get a tight seal on the cable. I can't believe Hikvision design and sell something like a junction box...

In the end I bought 100m of Cat6 UTP (unshielded) AW23 external solid cable for £45, which works out at around £137.25 for a 305m roll, but I didn't require that much. I decided to go for unshielded because a) I'm fairly sure I can run it between the camera and NVR without coming into contact...

Yes, you are correct. At the moment I'm "playing" with the NVR and cameras in my home office, so regularly powering it down when it is not required, but eventually it will be running 24/7. Still, I have a Synology NAS that runs 24/7 but I'm still able to "cleanly" power it down using software...

Thanks Dan, that's what I got from the other posts, but as they were old'ish, I was hoping this would have been rectified by now.

I've found a couple of posts regarding shutting down NVR's, but I'm unable to find any options in either iVMS-4200 or the NVR web application to allow me to shutdown my DS-7608NI-I2-8P. Am I missing something or is flicking the power switch on the back of the NVR how Hikvision expect their...

Thanks Dan. Useful to know that the image settings can be adjusted as I do prefer the warmer image from the 4mm cameras. Not that it really matters at the end of the day as once the system is installed I suspect I will forget about it until it is required!

I previously posted requesting some assistance on camera positioning (see here) and today I found time to try positioning both 2.8mm and 4.0mm lens cameras (DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL 4MP) at the front of my house to determine the best position. It's interesting how lens sizes can make a difference as...

Ignore my last remark, I've reason to believe this isn't a browser issue as I'm able to run the NVR configuration web pages and use the links to connect to the cameras and this works in Chrome, IE and Edge. The only time I'm having an issue is when I use iVMS-4200 to access the NVR...

Hi Dan, my DNS server settings were blank, so I've added the DNS values you have suggested, unfortunately it doesn't make any difference. I also tried clearing Google Chromes cache, just in case it was holding onto something, but still no luck! This appears to be a Chrome issue as if I start...

...... and I can confirm it works as expected :-)

I've just found this post, which I guess is the one you guys are referring to and it does appear to confirm it is one in the same - both the strobe light alarm and the constantly on led light i.e. one or the other. Configuration is performed using the Flashing Alarm Light Output menu and...
