    Hik-Connect 6.8.400.20250317.1 (latest version at time of writing) I just noticed yesterday that pinch to zoom no longer works in landscape mode for me since updating my phone to iOS 18.4. Now only the zoom icon works which only gives you a single zoom level. You can pinch to zoom when the...

    G3 ColorVu Cameras - First Impressions/Review

    I've finally got my hands on a couple of the new ColorVu 3.0 cameras to try out. These are the DS-2CD2xx7G3 models and I guess the next step on from the Hybrid light models (DS-2CD23xx7G2H). They (Hikvision) have dropped the 'H' for Hybrid in the model code but the functionality is the same...

    Door Entry KV6113-WPE1(C) - New Firmware [3.7.0_250317]

    I just noticed that new firmware has been released for the KV6113WPE1(c). I've not seen any release notes but the version has jumped from 2.2.78 to 3.7.0 so I'd guess there are some major changes? It's available on both the UK and Global Hikvision update search pages. Edit: I updated mine...

    Hik-Connect 6.2.51 has been released in the last 24 hours. 'Bug fix' is all that's detailed for the release on the iOS App Store. It does seem (for me) to have resolved or at least massively improved the loading of the timeline when selecting playback. Previously this could take upward of 20...
