    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...

    Missing VCA option in new ANPR camera?

    @trempa92 thanks but I don't ever risk installing any HikVision firmware other than those listed on the UK web site now. I am sure the global one will work but I have had major issues with HikVision firmwares before, the worst instance when I updated a camera with newer firmware which was not on...

    Double NAT using 4G in a VPN?

    If the 4G provider offers a static IP address and the 4G router offers the capability of VPN etc then this should technically work. Although to access on mobile phone, if you are using the Hik-Connect service it should work fine as that works via internet/cloud. If you want to connect...

    Missing VCA option in new ANPR camera?

    I have a new ANPR camera model iDS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHSY (H8) Running latest firmware currently V5.7.80_230712 (in the UK). On some PC's/browsers (e.g. Firefox on Windows) the very top bar in the web camera interface shows 4 options: Live View Configuration Smart Display VCA But on other...

    Compatible Junction Box for 7A26/P?

    HikVision do have a habit of regularly changing the sizes of back boxes and/or screw hole positions *just slightly* to make them incompatible with older models, why they just can't decide on some standards I don't know... If the proper one isn't available anywhere then: Not my handiwork but I...

    Camera adjusts white-balance when I view in hik-connect?

    Where are you setting the white balance modes - via the native NVR interface or via NVR web interface or via the camera web interface? The only thing I can suggest to try is checking/setting camera settings but on the actual native NVR interface. I have not had issues with white balance but I...

    Do HikVision rack-size switches come with rack mount brackets?

    @Jake Many thanks. those must be updated specs as I was looking at HikVision spec sheets elsewhere which say nothing about installation!

    Do HikVision rack-size switches come with rack mount brackets?

    Anyone bought HikVision switches in the past? I was looking at a 16 port HikVision PoE switch, such as: DS-3E1318P-EI or DS-3E1518P-SI Does anyone know if these come with rack-mount brackets? The specs say nothing about brackets, the manuals say nothing either, some PDF docs I have seen show...

    NTP Time Servers?

    I can't say why your setup won't connect to google or apple as mine connects to anything regardless of the DNS server/s chosen. Personally I always use pool.ntp.org But a ping to a server is not the same as an NTP request on port 123 - They are different requests and one could work and the...

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

    My understanding is that if you connect a HikVision camera direct to an NVR then it can't access the internet in any way? Is that still correct? e.g. for my ANPR cameras I set them up to FTP captured images to a remote server. To do that I have had to connect them to a PoE switch even when all...

    PoE cameras offline after power outage?

    If the NVR network port is not lighting up it could be that the network port in the NVR has failed, or could be due to a connection/cable/port failure somewhere down the line. Where does the network cable go from your NVR? Does it go direct to the PoE switch? Or does it go to a router or...

    How to get HikVision camera working with non-HikVision NVR? [SOLVED]

    This is now solved, it appears that the "invalid username and password" error was a red herring. Despite the XVision NVR working with an older HikVision ANPR Camera, the NVR was giving the error with the newer HikVision ANPR camera. The user just had to change their NVR custom protocol settings...

    How to get HikVision camera working with non-HikVision NVR? [SOLVED]

    @Dan, no, the camera is not connected directly to the NVR, it's on a PoE switch. Here is the HikVision camera settings. This was before I added the second ONVIF user (admin/TestPassword) and also I had to change the second "digest" option to the other option which is something like...

    How to get HikVision camera working with non-HikVision NVR? [SOLVED]

    Thanks @Dan here is the XVision camera connect settings. I tried with the users existing username and password first, then I tried with the following: HikVision Camera actual user: admin/TestPassword AND HikVision Integration protocol user (of type Administrator): admin/TestPassword And then...

    How to get HikVision camera working with non-HikVision NVR? [SOLVED]

    I have always used one brand cameras/NVRs so have no experience with this and would appreciate advice. An XVision NVR was working fine with a single HikVision ANPR camera. The camera went faulty and I was asked to configure a new one and replace. But I did not know beforehand it was an XVision...

    HikVision event emails and Microsoft Modern Authentication

    Most online email systems nowadays (well Google and Microsoft anyway) now require you to configure 2 factor authentication on your account and then allow you to configure "app passwords" for things like this. So you go to your account and generate a unique password just for your NVR which you...
