I've noticed that there are a few new PTRZ's on the UK market - including the 8mp DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS2U/SL/B - also available in white, and some 4mp equivalents. I've been looking at the spec sheets - but they are very sparse on the PTZ info - as in is the PTRZ speed configurable - and can...

Have just updated to the latest version of hik connect on iPhone - and all the ptz presets have gone from all of my ptz cameras across multiple sites. All I’ve got is a man standing with an empty box - which isn’t very helpful :) am I the only one?

I had a watch through the Darkfighter 2.0 launch the other day - when might UK stocks come through? It'll be good to see some actual footage to see if it's as good as they claim. Am I right in thinking that these will be the mid to upper range of cameras once launched? So not at the budget end...

Can’t quite work this one out. A friend has an old K series NVR which has 4 cameras attached via POE. On the NVR itself there are only four cameras. In my Hikproconnect screen there are only four cameras. But in my friend's Hik-Connect app there are 5 cameras - of which the first one (camera...

I fitted a wireless AX pro alarm to a friends house about a year ago - and until recently it’s been working well. It’s on the latest firmware - and is connected to both Ethernet and WiFi - but not using a SIM card. In recent weeks it appears to be going offline completely every minute for...

I hate them with a passion Any hints on how to dissuade them?

I think the answer is no - but I'll ask in case I'm missing anything obvious. On an I-series NVR (DS-7616NXI-12/S) - running on firmware V4.62.200 build 230105 (which I think is the latest) - when viewing the live screen feed from the NVR through an HDMI cable - is there any way to hide or...

I have a couple of quick questions for those in the know about I series NVR's - I did a little community nature project a while ago installing cameras in the local church tower to be able to watch breeding owls. It's been amazing - and have learnt a lot from observing the first breeding season...

I was having some thoughts recently around whether the following might work. I have some community cameras watching owls, currently connected via a POE switch to an NVR - the NVR also has additional security cameras serving other purposes. The cameras watching owls are streamed via their RTSP...

Afternoon - haven’t posted in a while - but have noticed a bug that’s a bit on the annoying side - and in case it’s not been reported or mentioned thought I’d pop it here so that it can be fed back if necessary. Device is an iPhone 13 - iOS 16.5.1 and all apps up to date. In one of the sites...

I was donated a few bits and pieces a while ago - and have used everything up for my local charities - but still have one NVR that I’ll now sell off (I know it won’t raise a lot but every little helps) It’s a DS-7732NI-SP 16 channel POE NVR with a big hefty dvd drawer on the front. Currently...

I've noticed that there are some very helpful responses to firmware update requests - and have often had a look through the various portals trying to work out which is the current firmware for some of my own cameras/NVR's and one's I've fitted for others. It feels quite a quagmire of detail when...

I popped a donated NVR into a local church last year that's sitting on top of a mountain all by itself (aside from the pub next to it), and it seems to be having regular power cuts. The NVR then forgets what day it is and goes back to 2004. Do NVR's have batteries like PC's do to remember...

I fitted the above PTZ into a local church a few months ago to give them a combined security camera and a livestream camera for funerals/weddings etc. And all-in-all it's doing a decent job. The local vicar is able to use presets to change the view depending on what he's doing, and although it's...

I'm currently trying to help someone gain access back to their NVR - the original 94 year old owner passed away, and the 75 year old niece that's taken over the property doesn't know who originally installed it. It's pretty low down model in the Hikvision range - but she'd still like to get it...

I've got a Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IS mini dome camera that I'd like to add into an owl project I started last year - but having check through today to make sure it worked properly, I noticed the bottom left of the image is totally dark in a well-lit room, and the bottom right is showing a bit...

I can't really find a definitive answer anywhere on this one. I have a dome on an old building that gets a bit of splash back when the rain is heavy from the ancient stonework, which when the water dries gives it a cloudy effect at night. It's not the most accessible dome, so it's not easy to...

PTZ video If you click the above link you'll see what I mean. I'm using an Iphone X - and everything is up to date on the latest version. When I want to go left up or down - no problem. As soon as I want to go right - it starts swiping the screen instead of moving the camera (and is very...

I've recently purchased a Hikvision DS-2De2A4040IW-DE3 PTZ for use in my 'Owls in the tower' project - as I liked the idea of being able to zoom in when the owls are in residence. I also liked it because it had the option of a third stream - which I could use at H264 for the RTSP feed - but...

I'm running a little bit of a project for an owl cam or three - and have posted previously about how I got the wireless bridge up and running over to an old bell tower. Now I have another challenge - I have received a donation of two DS-2CD6365G0-IVS fisheye cameras - and intend to use one at...
