    Would appreciate some help with a Hikvision camera if possible please.

    Sorry @Jimmyjames but I had a good look at the camera and couldn't find a screw anywhre on the camera body. There is what looks like a small plastic plate that is part of the camera body but I don't know how it would be detached, it just sits flush with the rest of the body.

    Wow, that is really very helpful @Jimmyjames. Thank you very much indeed. I will have a go at that later today and report back.

    Would appreciate some help with a Hikvision camera if possible please.

    Thank you very much for that @TonyR. I don't understand the dangers of showing the SN and the bar code but I have taken your advice and deleted both items. I hope that all is in order now and thank you, I really appreciate your help and advice. I do actually have the SADP icon on my desktop pc...

    Would appreciate some help with a Hikvision camera if possible please.

    I have a CCTV system with 2 dome cameras and one PTZ. But I have just acquired another dome camera, which I believe is unused, which is very similar to my existing dome cameras and looks to be about the same age. I made a short cable and plugged it into my NVR but the system asks for a password...

    Thank you Alastair, I'll have a read of those posts.

    Retrospective motion detection.

    Thank you for that biggen. Yes, I am recording 24/7 and I have played with the motion detection on my system but that just sets up an area where, if motion is detected, then I can see it easily. But the problem is that if I want to cover all aspects of my premises then I have to install more...

    Retrospective motion detection.

    Hello everyone. This is a question that I asked a couple of years ago so apologies for the repeat. I have had my Hikvision CCTV system on the farm for about 4 years now and I have what I would have thought was a simple question. I have asked my supplier for help but they do not respond. My set...

    Hikvision video format.

    I had a friend who used a Sirius in his industrial distribution business and in fact he persuaded me to get a pc in the first place. I had quite a few customers in my line of work as well as my main business and it certainly proved useful. At the time I had only just about got to grips with the...

    I grew up at the DOS prompt I'll have you know (when I was in my 40th year ;) ) Windows didn't appear until about 2 years later. No images or anything like that of course. Word processing was with SuperWriter, spreadsheet was Supercalc. Zipping was done with PKZIP. I had a dual floppy green...

    No, for my sins I haven't tried that. I am always just a bit concerned about installing 3rd party software. But I think I will probably try it later. I should have probably mentioned that I am a desktop man using a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.

    There has been a development ! I have been playing around with my Video To Video utility and have discovered that if I convert the video emanating from the NVR using the option M2TS option (as shown below) the resultant video quality is as good as the original but also that Power Director...

    Hikvision video format.

    Sorry but I am being a bit thick. I haven't zipped files for years. I do have 7-Zip on my PC but I downloaded WinZip anyway. But when I tried both utilities the resultant MP4 file was still 8129k in size, actually slightly larger than the original ! What on Earth am I doing wrong please ?

    Thank you. Have sent the PM but hit a problem as you will see.

    Hikvision video format.

    Thank you. Yes, I can do that. I have just grabbed 10 seconds of night view from one of the cameras. Is that enough ? It is 7.93mb. It is from a Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I 4MP EXIR Turret Dome Camera, 4mm. I do have a PTZ camera on the system but Power Director still doesn't like that either. I...
