    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    I didn't see that fine print. Anyway, I am happy with the camera even if it's not the 2016 model.

    Mini PTZ camera impressions! 2015 PTZ camera of the year? AVOID THIS CAMERA

    I've just received my camera but I am not sure what I actually got. The model number on the box is HS-SCB-405IP-V10-E. this is the AliExpress page for exactly what I ordered... it says 2016 but as far as I can tell, that model number is for 2015. I was ordering right around the time they...

    Mini PTZ 2nd Gen: 2016 PTZ Camera of the year!

    Just got my camera delivered. I'll post some pictures later. I can get to it on the network and change settings logged in via IE and verified I am getting a picture. What is the recommended way to connect it to my LTS POE NVR? Should I set the camera to a fixed IP, or will the NVR give it an...

    Mini PTZ 2nd Gen: 2016 PTZ Camera of the year!

    I have my epacket shipping number, but it looks like the camera is still on the other side of the world. I feel like I lost a few days due to their holiday, but they didn't drop the ball so far.

    Is it possible to change the lens on the LTS/Hik CMIP3042W-28 turret?

    I haven't been able to find any indication that the lens is replaceable by the user, but if anyone knows otherwise, they probably read this forum. http://www.ltsecurityinc.com/ip-camera/ip-dome/ip-network-turret-camera-cmip3042w-28.html

    New setup advice, ditching 4mp

    Even if you can't get a picture of the doormat and packages, you could set up a motion alert/email for the area of the porch that you can see. Then when the delivery arrives, you'll know the driver was there even if you can't see the box.

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    The unit came with 2 brackets like this. Is that what you're hoping for?

    Hik NVR schedule setup--where's the "run schedule" button?

    That's great to hear, I thought about trying that later on. I wish the indicators worked differently, but now I know how the machine is thinking. Thanks for posting that.

    HIKVISION - Able to access NVR via web but not locally

    When I log in to my LTS (Hik) NVR by typing in the IP address, it also auto-forwards to a funny-looking URL. If your NVR is using 192.168.1.5 then maybe that part isn't a problem. On your LAN are the computer and NVR plugged in to the same network switch? Any hardware in between them? Same...

    Hik 4k NVR Discussion

    That's good advice, thanks. I definitely do not want to be forced to manually review events and was going to get email set up shortly so your setup is actually right in line with what I was hoping to accomplish. I probably should give myself a 24 hr waiting period before posting a question...

    Thanks magga, good to know it is a feature I don't understand versus a bug. :)

    Hik NVR schedule setup--where's the "run schedule" button?

    True, I did get screen shots from both places... I was also experimenting with seeing what happened when you switched from Continuous to Motion and it's easier to build the schedule on web. But you're right, let's compare apples to apples. I just went back to the NVR and rebuilt schedules from...

    Hik NVR schedule setup--where's the "run schedule" button?

    The more I dig the more confused I get about schedule setup on my Hik NVR. I set up a Motion Record schedule 24/7... no sweat. You can see that Enable is checked. When I wave at the camera, the NVR shows a red dot/running man and records a video clip that I can view in MENU>PLAYBACK>EVENT...

    Hik 4k NVR Discussion

    I'm getting the hang of it. Even for a gadget lover like me this is somewhat daunting, there are so many options and a few things are not intuitive. Yeah, that was the part that was very confusing... you're recording, but I guess not really recording until you choose one of Continuous or...

    Hik 4k NVR Discussion

    Since there wasn't an official thread for this unit yet I thought I'd start one. I have had one for a few days, and posted some unboxing and GUI images the other day. The unit is really nice so far, though it's my first NVR and so I don't have a point of comparison... but every time I think...

    Hik NVR disk set to R/W, yet it doesn't seem to be overwriting

    Final edit: I think this is actually a bug, or at best a poorly explained feature. By default, on first boot, the NVR will record from attached cameras, even if the master Continuous or Motion Activated record switches have not been activated... and the setup wizard lets you skip that step! If...

    Mini PTZ 2nd Gen: 2016 PTZ Camera of the year!

    My v2 shipped yesterday and I'll try it with my Mac. I also have an NVR and 3 versions of Windows so it better work with something!

    Moved Hik camera to a different port on Hik NVR, cam now won't work on any port

    EDIT: Yep I am a dummy, it's because I changed the default admin password from 12345 to something more secure. I changed it back by putting a computer on the same 192.168.254.* network as the camera and logging in to the camera directly. Put it back on the NVR and everything is groovy. I'm...

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Not yet but I will check it out. I did try the Android/iOS apps and they are nice. Getting the web browser working is still important though, to do things like setting up motion detection regions. I don't think you can do all that jazz in the viewer app, right? Fortunately, I did just figure...

    Having trouble with Hik (LTS) web live view under Windows 10--black video window

    I fixed my Firefox live view problem! Still not sure why I could not get IE to work, but it doesn't matter now. Because I was getting no video display (live or playback) BUT was able to save video clips and stills, I knew the video data was flowing ... so this did not seem like a network...

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Thanks! That is the kind of black magic voodoo Windows tip that I know will be required to fix this problem! Unfortunately, it didn't work. I'm about to sacrifice a chicken. Or does it have to be a goat for Win 10? Not sure if it's going to be easier to fix my Win 10 Firefox problem (portal...

    Having trouble with Hik (LTS) web live view under Windows 10--black video window

    I spent a while last night doing every thing conceivable to get IE to cooperate, with no luck at all. I probably fiddled with all the trust/compatibility settings 10 times, and made everything as liberal and unsafe as possible in an effort to get that site to run right. milkisbad even had a tip...

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    When I run IE I have the problem of being unable to log in. The login button just does nothing, it's baffling. I searched and found some similar complaints, but no solutions.

    LTS (Hik) 4.1 MP camera with WDR -- I do not see WDR settings in the NVR?

    LTS (Hik) 4.1 MP camera with WDR -- I do not see WDR settings in the NVR?

    Sorry if this is a silly question... Today I plugged in a new LTS NVR and CMIP3042W turret camera with WDR. However, in the NVR's camera settings I see nothing about the WDR feature. I thought WDR was something you could turn on and off. Is it just always on, or do I need to log in to the...

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Today I received the LTS LTN8916-P16 4k NVR and a 4.1 MP 2.8 mm turret. Here are some photos of the unboxing, and interior of the NVR. I have also included some images of config screens that I found interesting. I did not know that the unit would have such granular control of user account...

    Having trouble with Hik (LTS) web live view under Windows 10--black video window

    Today I received my new Hik (LTS) 4k NVR, and it is pretty nice... but I am having a Windows 10 problem that's preventing me from using the Live View features in the NVR's web portal. If I use Firefox on my Windows 7 computer, the NVR web portal works as expected and I can see the live view...
