    Bad cable but should still work, no?

    Hmm, now that I read my own post maybe the NVR ports put out Mode B PoE, and the cameras can take either A or B? Quick fix may be throwing in a PoE injector (Mode A) in between the NVR port and the camera. **I should have mentioned that replacing this cable is near impossible.

    Bad cable but should still work, no?

    Hi all, I had a Hikvision ip camera go down on me this summer. I finally got around troubleshooting and it turns out the cable has gone bad. Checking out the last footage it recorded, it seems that some pretty serious lightning was in the area when it went down. My cable tester is telling me...

    Heads up on the latest Hikvision IP Camera Kits

    Oh my gad. As you kindly said earlier....check your own screenshots. I'm not sure I can explain this to you any other way.

    Heads up on the latest Hikvision IP Camera Kits

    Thank you. No luck. Keep in mind I had 6 of these cameras on a new network with no other cameras involved getting these issues. I'm pretty sure Hikvision either; a: Decided to put a SD card slot on these cameras and made the business decision to include only image capture and not video to...

    I'm sorry this is wrong. That setting is not for video.

    Thanks, but "Upload to FTP/memory card/NAS" is for pictures, not video. I already cycled the plugin. Hikvision support has sent this SI up the chain. I'll update with their response once I get one.

    Heads up on the latest Hikvision IP Camera Kits

    *The screen captures from the ECI-T44F2 below is a brand new camera that is not one of the ones I have a SD card in at the moment **I find it funny the settings I am looking for are on the camera with no SD card slot (ECI-T24F2) and the one that DOES have the slot, doesn't have the settings.

    Heads up on the latest Hikvision IP Camera Kits

    I'm going back and fourth with Hikvision support right now (email). They are getting me to remove and replace plugin etc.. But nothing is 'fixing' this so far. I'm pretty sure it's a huge oversight or a new way to limit features in these express line cameras. I'll upload some comparison...

    Heads up on the latest Hikvision IP Camera Kits

    I wanted to let people know that the new camera kits (the one I got being EKI-K82T46) now comes with cameras (ECI-T44Fx) that have a SD card slot but they don't record video. There are no settings at all referring to capturing video. Only image capture. (Obviously you can record to an NVR, but...

    Hikvision motion or event recording, separated!!

    lol. I was that way, then I changed my NVR to one of these new 'Value plus series' ones (wanted more channels and TB's), and now it does't show the picture anymore. Just a generic picture of a bell. Wonderful

    Hikvision motion or event recording, separated!!

    I just changed mine to "Motion | Alarm", which I believe is motion OR alarm. Obviously a "Motion | Event" option would be logical I would think...but no. I also find the delay between getting an alarm on your phone, to when you can begin watching the clip frustrating. I've changed my thinking...

    Network bandwidth terminalogy explain

    I’m having the same issue...same NVR Is it the case though, that we are downgrading the camera quality to 1080p, just so we can live view the feeds. When the NVR was recording all IPCs at 5MP just fine. Or is the NVR having a hard time recording these feeds as well. Guess the question is “is...
