i7 4790 PC for BI
Over the months I've read pro's and con's for the use of external drives. Obviously the read/write times will be slower with USB externals vs. direct SATA cable to MB, but other than that are there any reliability issues with going external? I agree that the theft issue would be lower by... -

Are these rebranded Hiks?
I'm having this problem with a Hikvision 3mp dome. I needed coverage in a fairly large living area so I've got the camera angled at about 30 degrees away from the ceiling. Getting lots of "fog" when using the IR. Would I get the same effect from the 2CD2542 mini dome? The case looks like it... -

White flashes on HikVision 4MP cameras
Are the both the Chinese and the U.S. versions 2CD2342WD's having the flashing problem. -

which camera?
Sorry, maybe I didn't phrase my question right. I am comfortable with all aspects of the Hikvision cams and will select camera type and lens based on location. I have searched and read every post on here and that's what's got me confused. Price between 3 and 4mp is no issue, and I could... -

which camera?
I know this is a real elementary question but I hoped I might at least get a little direction. Just asking which would be the most bullet proof solution for building up a system. thanks -

which camera?
I've got a 2cd-2032 and a 2cd-2132 running under BI on an Intel i7 system. I now need to start expanding my system but I'm kind of at a stand still as to which cameras to go with. I've read all the recent posts of 3mp vs. 4 mp cameras and it seems the 4mp are not that much of an improvement in... -

Has there been any white flash issues with U.S. versions of this camera reported? -

Hikvision with GeoVision software
thank you, it worked. Took me a while to get BI up and running, but after a few trys got the GV camera showing up. Have not tried all the features but looks like I will be able to use my GV cameras. -

Differences Between Hikvision 4mp DS-2CD3345-I And Hikvision 4MP DS-2CD2345-I
I wasn't thinking so much of spraying on camera as on wall, ceiling, around where camera is mounted. I have a couple of areas on porches I have cameras and I am trying this now. Too early to tell if effective. I cover the camera with plastic wrap when spraying. One of the reasons I've not... -

Differences Between Hikvision 4mp DS-2CD3345-I And Hikvision 4MP DS-2CD2345-I
A little off the subject, but would the occasional spraying of a good insecticide around the camera eliminate the spider/bug issue? -

"Failed to modify the settings" - on Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS
I had a similar problem yesterday with a new 2cd2132. I noticed it shipped with default IP address 192.168.1.64 that seemed unusual. I kept getting a "failed to modify". Found that you have to use latest version of SADP tool which I downloaded. It sets up the camera a little different in so... -

2CD2032 no motion detection
milkisbad: No mine did does not have the "motion settings" box there. I think abusch13 may be right, it may be an arming schedule issue. I installed Blue Iris and I feel it's really going to be a better overall vms. I know I could have got the Hikvision software working but there are some... -

2CD2032 no motion detection
I'm sure I could eventually get this figured out but I think I'll just purchase Blue Iris. Appears to be a lot more user friendly, and it will possibly support some other non-Hikvision cameras I have laying around. -

Best external enclosure for a WD purple 3.5" drive
I have been using Rosewill and NexStar enclosures from Newegg for several years, both IDE and SATA. I've never had one fail. I use them for backup HD's so they are not in use continuously. I have noticed if left powered up for several hours the case get a little warm. For full time duty I...- dryfly

2CD2032 no motion detection
If I access the camera through the browser and go to configuration>Events the grid is already there. If in Ivms4200 Tools>Record Schedule>Modify Record Schedule there is supposed to be an option for Motion Settings where you can draw/modify the grid. BUT, the option is not there. Where are... -

2CD2032 no motion detection
I am having a difficult time finding my way around in this software but under Event Management>Motion Detection the camera is set to All-day template and Linkage Action is set to Audible Warning#notify surveillance center#triggered camera. Also under Event Management If you try to "modify"... -

2CD2032 no motion detection
I've configured the camera i.e. configuration>events checked enable motion detection and enable dynamic analysis for motion. Imported camera into iVMS 4200 PVNVR. In tool>record schedule> there is no option for motion detection as per the manual. I'm thinking there is something in the camera... -

Hikvision with GeoVision software
Thank you. I will try it. I've got a couple of old GV F120D domes that I'd still like to use in my migration to HIkvisions, so maybe I can pull it off. -

Could you elaborate a little on how you got the older Geovision camera to load on BI. I'll be glad to PM you if you prefer. -

Hikvision with GeoVision software
I used GV NVR as well as the newer GV VMS. Both are good but the installers still seem to prefer the GV NVR. As a beginner they did everything, and more, that I needed. I'm just starting to play around with Hikvision cameras so have not had an opportunity to try BI or iVMS-4200, but look... -

Hikvision with GeoVision software
From what I've seen BI may have more features, but the Geovision software I used was free. They have 2 different versions. They charge for one if you run a large amount of cameras. -

Why turrets instead of bullets?
I have been wondering about a potential problem with turrets. I have a lot of trouble with dirt dobbers AKA mud daubers where I live. That area between the camera and the base seems like the world's best place to attract these critters and their nests (mud piles). Also, spiders etc. Am I... -

CPU usage and processor temp with BI
You think it's the ram or the i7 cpu making it run fast?? -

CPU usage and processor temp with BI
That's a lot of RAM, which brings up the question of how much is needed?? When I built my i7 server i went with 8gb and felt that would be sufficient. I'm I missing something? -

DS-2CD2132 questions
I'm currently using some Geovision domes that have that exact same look. Since they are inside the house in inconspicuous places I removed the covers and they work fine. They don't have the foam ring but bet I could fabricate one some way, or just operate them with the covers off. Think I'll... -

DS-2CD2132 questions
I find the 2CD2132 listed as 2132F-l and 2132-l. What does the "F" signify? Also, these cameras are listed as weatherproof. I've been told dome cameras are not best to use outdoors due to fogging, as well as the possibility that moisture can get into the dome. Is this dome really feasible to...
