    Which NVR to upgrade with from Hikvision

    I have enabled Motion Detection 2.0 on 15 cameras and it seems to work without complaining. This is another mystery of specs to me, between all of AI engines and options, it is hard to figure out which AI feature is limited to 4 channels and why MD works on all of them This said, I agree that...

    Which NVR to upgrade with from Hikvision

    Hi all, I have an old LaView system with 16 PoE cameras. The NVR started to act up, so I decided to upgrade. There are three options on the table: * DS-7616NXI-I2 - I already got this NVR and the AI helps to mark footage for humans and cars, which I find helpful. I am talking about Motion...

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    BTW, this screenshot reminded me of a small detail. All the LaView/Hikvision cameras show status "Connected" while the Jennov camera shows simply as "Online" despite being on the Hikvision protocol. What that means? Who knows...

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    Just an update. The Jennov camera can be added with Hikvision protocol even from the local PoE port. To do that, there are a couple of tricky steps. 1. Go in the camera configuration via web browser and enable "Use ONVIF on all subnet" (or something similar). This will enable the NVR to detect...

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    The Jennov camera has port 8000 specifically set for Hikvision, there is also a setting in the configuration for that. The issue seems to be with the certificate, just like you had. No idea what certificate is looking for. And btw, unchecking Verify Certificate does not help, just like you...

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    Just a small correction, the Jennov is now live on HikConnect even even connecting through the platform.

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    (I think) I managed to add the camera with the Hikvision protocol from the LAN. I tried the human detection playback from HikConnect and seemed to work to some degree. Then I brought the camera to the NVR and tried to connect it to the PoE port. Put the camera password the same as the NVR...

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    Jennov answered and then I talked on the phone with Jonnathan (located in Asia). The responsiveness of the company is good, like they all are when they are still small. I managed to connect the camera to the NVR after going in the camera web configuration in Configuration -> Network, and...

    Ahhh, maybe the problem is my newer NVR firmware. I will contact Jennv for a solution.

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    @Revo2Maxx , very cool idea. Good to know. @BobW55 , I am fighting to get the camera connected to the NVR without success. Changed the camera password the same as NVR, nothing. Plugged the DC input beside the Ethernet in case the NVR is not producing enough power still nothing. Changed the...

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    Sorry to keep asking, but your experience is very useful. I am hoping it can follow or zoom at cars that pass in front of my house so maybe I can read license plates of needed. Do you have experience with it tracking cars, does it help with zooming in and improving plate readability? Thanks.

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    Does it integrate with Acuaense, i.e. does it pass on human/vehicle detectoon information to the NVR ?

    Jennov 8mp POE PTZ

    I just got this today and I am testing with my Hikvision NVR. Couldn't connect it to the NVR yet but no problem from phone. Will try the NVR later again. Did you keep this camera? How did it work since May? Did you try other auto tracking cameras beside this? It's amazing how cheap this is.

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    Good news. After months of issues with the Laview NVR interface, I found the problem. It was my wireless keyboard Logitech K400+. This keyboard has a USB dongle which I plugged on the NVR and... it seemed to work fine. This was an old keyboard and it was perfect to leave at the NVR for...

    How to check NVR is compatible with my cameras?

    How to check NVR is compatible with my cameras?

    Thanks, I know that. But what specific features of the camera do I have to check to see if I can use an Empiretech NVR instead? And how do I make those checks?

    How to check NVR is compatible with my cameras?

    I have a LaView system with 16 cameras. The NVR has many issues in the GUI (flickering, sticky keys, etc.). I have ordered two new NVRs, a Hikvision and an Empiretech. The more I read online the more I understand how important is to match the vendor for camera and NVR. In my case the winner...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    @MaryMorton , I have the same exact problem. Half hour ago had to just unplug it to restart. Brutal, I know. The GUI came back but still the login view flickers around and keys stick. I don't know if I am not remembering the password or it is taking a different character.

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    But at least the NVR may work normally and I could save $500 and lots of time :)

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    By the way, the hardware of my NVR seems quite decent, it has 4 SATA ports, PoE for 16 cameras, and so on. Feels such a waste to throw it out just because LaView firmware is bad. I can't find a way to put a hikvision firmware in it though.

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    I looked at one of my LaView cameras and seems to have ONVIF output listed in specs. Doesn't this make the camera universal for any NVR? LV-PD51208C https://www.newegg.com/laview-lv-pd51208c-dome-camera/p/N82E16881183146 Will EmpireTech be out of the question with these cameras? E.g. this one...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    Ok guys. Thanks for the help. I am back in game trying to resolve this problem. Been reading for a few days and still torn between two options: 1. Go the Blue Iris way, buy an adequate PC, pair it with a PoE switch, and deal with (perhaps) endless configurations. This choice is good because it...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    Thank you @steve1225 . I will check later. I already checked for bad sectors last week and all came up green, no errors on either disk. Will let you know about the SMART status.

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    Just an update. I formatted the two hard drives and the playback problem was resolved. I could finally play back videos. But the system GUI remains very problematic, I cannot even enter the password because the interface flickers and button presses seem to stick. I reset to defaults and nothing...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    Thank you for your replies. To be clear, I am not interested to load my NAS with 16 camera feeds. Wouldn't want even to have that much data flowing through my router or home network. I like that the NVR has its own network and all data stay within that without flowing on the home network. So...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    I have the Laview LV-N9916C6E and currently 14 cameras on it. I inherited it from the previous homeowner. The system is a piece of unimaginable crap. Just entering the admin password is a challenge because keys seem to stick. At this moment I cannot even play back the videos either from the...
