    Disable on-camera alarm sound that goes off every time motion is detected?

    the sound is a loud alarm and its coming from the camera itself. I have two cameras at the front and it seems to be coming from one of them. the alarm only lasts about 5 seconds. When this happens, there is no notifications on my phone app that someone entered the area that is supposed to...

    Disable on-camera alarm sound that goes off every time motion is detected?

    ok I got into the config page of the cameras. but I don't see anything in there that would cause their siren/alarm to go off. I don't know what brand the NVR is. its a non-branded Hikvision. not sure what that means.

    Disable on-camera alarm sound that goes off every time motion is detected?

    Hi, I enabled the Virtual Host. but I can't access the camera. my NVR has an IP address of 12.14.25.40. in the config of my NVR, there is a section where it says the cameras have an IP of 192.168.254.2:8000 for one camera, 192.168.254.4:8000 for another camera. so I went to a browser and...

    Disable on-camera alarm sound that goes off every time motion is detected?

    Hi, I may have the same issue where my camera alarm goes off sometimes at random times. I went to NVR configuration and don't have anything in there to cause this. How do I get into the camera web menu? would I get its ip address in the NVR?

    ok thanks for that info. for the camera that will be at my front entrance/porch, the porch is about 8x5 feet. I would like to capture this entire area. do you think 4mm would cover it or should I go with 2.8mm? the camera will be mounted above the door, at one of the corners of the porch.

    ok so my installer said the above two cameras are pretty much the same except for the 4mp vs 8mp. the 4mp needs less light. he also said that when using software to zoom in on something, it will look better on the 8mp camera. my question is, do you think the image quality be too low when...

    yes there are differences. all the numbers in the DORI in the 4mp model are lower. since my property is not that big, I figure those lower numbers are better for me. the Minimum Illumination is lower in the 4mp model which I think is better right? here are all the differences. still not...

    Hikvision as a brand

    ok so it would seem to be that the best out of the three would be the DS-2CD2347G3-LIS2UY/S(L)(RB) model since its a G3 model and its 4mp and sensor is 1/1.8" and you guys say that is the sweet spot for image quality. and since its 4mp, it should be cheaper than the 8mp camera. would you agree?

    so what do you think is more important, newer camera with ColorVu 3.0 and more modern video processing and AI detections or a camera with better night performance? by the way, the first one is also new, according to their site.

    I'll have to ask him because if he shows me in the day of the install, it will be too late.
