nvr

I have been thinking about purchasing a Hikvision NVR for quite sometime now and having looked at the various series and models on the Hikvision website I am particularly interested in the DeepinMind Series because I would like to reduce the number of false alarms by utilising the latest smart...

So... upgraded from a 5mpPOC set up to 5 ds-2cd2385G1’s, I have a previous G1 and a auto tracking PTZ that were running via POE switch, Today comes swapped everything over and the NVR wont even power the cameras that have been previously set up via the switch, I have restored these and they...

I have been looking at the Milesights NVR and their VCA. Do you know if it will work with third party cameras over ONVIF?

Could you please explain to a newbie why he needs an NVR, assuming he has plenty of disk space elsewhere? To my idiot's eye, they must increase the live video lag by adding an extra layer of processing, and they make a noise. What camera or network functions do I lose by connecting directly to...

Most Hikvision users will only ever need to download specific clips from their recordings and these clips will rarely exceed 1 hour of footage, in these cases you can quite easily use the browser or iVMS interfaces to download the clips over your local network. On some occasions though there...

Hi All I've just received my Hikvision DS-7604NI-K1-4P NVR, not setup yet, but seen Hikvision "highly recommend" using a UPS. It's not something i'd heard of before, so started searching online, however there appears to be quite a variety, some of which are quite expensive. I've read that you...

All of the below testing was done on a DS-7716NI-I4/16P running the latest firmware v4.22.005, if after any future updates you notice any changes that may affect the below information then do let us know so we can update it. Every so often customers have reported issues and confusion around the...

My current NAS setup doesn't really allow the simply flip of the TV/Display source to view the CCTV (owing to it not having a HDMI port) and fiddly/impossible "internet browsers" on Smart TVs, and will allow other less tech savvy family members too. Something i should of done in the 1st place i...

Hello, Working with Hikvision's 9664-Ni8, with 2 screen on HDMI1 and HDMI2/VGA, i've noticed that the mouse pointer stay in the HDMI1 screen and not moving into the 2nd screen on HDMI2. The screen on HDMI2 is not showing the pointer at all. Did anyone have experienced the same case? It is...

I've got a Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2-8P 8 Channel NVR, that's now been running for a few months since being installed with 3 PoE Hikvision Turret cameras. Due to an odd problem with 1 camera not generating Smart Event notifications for a few days, I had to look at the NVR configuration & check the...

Hi, I'm just wanting to know, is it possible to link up multiple Hikvision NVR's (all on the same network) and view all the attached cameras through IVMS so for example: I have 2 16 channel NVRS with 16 cams on one NVR and 9 cams on the other, can I view them all on one screen without having...

Hi I have installed cameras in two of my houses over the last few weeks , I have been using the mobile Hik-Connect app to remotely view and has been working great . I installed a new anpr camera and need to login via a laptop to configure settings but cannot for the life of me find how to...

Optio as a range is designed and works best as a complete system, but some users out there will already have systems from other manufacturers and might just be looking for a cheaper option of adding one or more cameras to their existing system. In this post, we will take you through both methods...

On Hikvision NVRs (such as DS-7608NI-K2-8P) , do all the cameras have to connect directly to the PoE ports on the NVR, or can the cameras be connected to a PoE switch elsewhere and then just a single Ethernet cable connect the NVR to the switch, and PoE disabled on the NVR? I'm planning a...

This question gets asked a lot and we have always assumed that as the larger Pro NVRs (9600 Series) have 2 x VGA & 2 x HDMI that they were the only models that would support any kind of multi-screen setup. Today we did some tests with a selection of demo NVRs we have in our office to see if it...

Hello and thanks for reading :D Is it possible to format the SD cards with the NVR? The cameras are all plugged in directly with POE and all work perfectly with the app etc, but none of the cameras show up in the SADP tool, nor on the browser (apart from camera management). If I go to storage...

Dear All, Please can I ask, how do you view and interact with an onsite NVR screen? Put differently, can one shadow the onsite screen for support purposes so I can interact or at least see exactly what is displayed on screen from VGA/HDMI out? The particular NVR here is a Hikvision...

Hi all, I'm new here. I recently bought the HikVision 4-port POE NVR, along with an IPC-B120 and an IPC-D120. I have set both cameras up and have been able to see the live view from the Hik-Connect app when they are plugged directly into my router or switch (using the separate power supply)...

Hello, We have encountered problem with Hikvision NVR. We are using NVR model DS-7608/7616NI-K2/8P(16P) with 8 Hikvision bullet cameras. We would like to use Hik-Connect and RTSP feature at the same time, but Hik-Connect encrypts the video, and we can access it through RTSP feed, but we can...
