    NV41AI-8P-4K HDD Recommendation

    Most of the higher capacity drives I have seen spin faster. This is due to the fact that most often the larger drives are on recorders that have more cameras. Depending on the resolution of the camera, the hard drive needs to have a high enough throughput to support all the data stream (video)...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    On both the FCD600 and the NCD800, I was able to get the mic and speaker working. The speaker is on the back of the camera itself. Speaker is used for two way audio and the sound from the active deterrence. I don't use blue iris so not able to comment on that. I've got mine added to a LTS...

    The cables can be routed out after taking out the silicone plugs. If they aren't in the spot that you would like then you can take the camera apart and flip it around 180 degrees. It would be a multistep process. Need to take off the screws on the plate in the picture. The camera portion would...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    Features shown on the NVR's is a mixed bag. Some will show the feature but not let you use it or give an error when trying to turn it on. This is because it will have the camera use that feature. If the camera doesn't have the feature then it cannot be "turned on". If you add the LaView...

    Which NVR to replace LaView LV-N9916C6E 16 cams?

    If you can find a newer firmware for this unit then that would be where I would first start. The unit you have is VERY old and the specs don't seem to be that great. The current firmware you listed is from 2016. As others have said, that NVR is a Hikvision OEM unit. I feel that it is better...

    Yes it can be wall mounted. The camera comes in two parts. The camera itself and the mounting bracket that the camera clip to. This mounting bracket has a spot marked "front". Make sure this is facing the correct direction before mounting the camera or the image would be upside down. This...

    Unifi Teleport

    I am able to ping the devices and seems I am able to go in a browser and get to the NAS login page. I am not able to add the NAS as a network drive under windows. It is not able to see it. I noticed that any discovery tool for my cameras are not able to find anything. I can only access IF I...

    Unifi Teleport

    Anybody experience issues with the Ubiquiti Unifi Teleport feature? Making the connection back to the network is no issue. Connects fine. Issue it that it puts my computer in the wrong network. My home network is 192.168.8.X. Teleport function connects me in on a 192.168.2.X network. Went...

    PTZ or 180 degree wide angle?

    You may try one of the PTZ's that have dual lens. Here is the one I have in mind.This one will have a 180 degree camera on top to be use as a general overview camera. The PTZ could be used to get a more detailed shot. What it could also do is have the top 180 degree camera trigger the PTZ to...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    The only angle to really need for adjusting is the tilt (up/down). This camera has a 180 degree FOV so no need to move it left/right. Only time the wire is in a sharp bend would be if you have it mounted on ceiling or soffit with the camera push (tilted) all the way up. But in doing that half...

    Sold my house and would like to properly transfer over my NVR and access to Hik-Connect to the new owner -- help this noob please!

    The Hikvision E-series NVR is an older unit which doesn't have the "unbind" button under "Network/Advanced/Platform Access". Due to this, if this NVR is bound to a Hik-Connect account, you would need to fill out the form on the Hikvision website to get the unit unbound from the account...

    [SOLVED] Hikvision NVR Won't Recognize Camera Using Ubiquiti Nanostations

    You mentioned that the NVR would support up to 6MP. Would this NVR be an E-series? If so then from what I remember that unit only supports up to H264+. I would check on the 6MP camera and make sure it is set to H264 or H264+. Most of the newer cameras default to an H265 compression which the...

    Hikvision PTRZ Dome Cameras

    Interestingly on the design of the camera, if water was to get inside the base/harness portion... they have put weep holes so the moisture can drip out. If I was to nit-pick, the clips that hold the camera to the base seem to be made of a sort of plastic. There is a locking screw that secures...

    Intermittent beeping on my Hikvision DS 7604NI-KI/4P

    Oops.... Then guess will need password reset on recorder.... On an older firmware then use secure code, if newer firmware then export XML file to send in. Unless OP is luck and has a flash drive with a GUID file on it. It does lock you out after 5 or 6 tries so even if you put in the...

    Struggling to get a mic going with my IDS-2CD7A26G0-P-IZHSY (ANPR Cams)

    No the POE injector doesn't power the mic. So the injector has a networking cable going to the RJ45 to the camera side. This powers the camera only. UNLESS you are not using a powered (POE) switch then you would need a 12v power going to the 5521 barrel connector input on the camera. So if...

    Issue with newer ColorVu camera (now displaying in black and white)

    Check the hybrid light option to see if that is turned on. If so then the camera won't switch to color mode until a detection method has triggered it to switch to color mode. The lighting mode can also be switched from the Hik-Connect app. Maybe it was manually switched to a different...

    Problem with Hybrid Light Camera

    For mine to do the hybrid illumination mode, this is what I do. "Smart Supplemental Light" is turned on. Under "Supplement Light Mode" there are three options. White supplemental light is meaning the white light is on. IR means the IR light (black/white). Off is no illumination. Smart is...

    Intermittent beeping on my Hikvision DS 7604NI-KI/4P

    If you go into the "Exception" menu and disable then save the "audible warning" for each catagory then it will stop the beeps. Notate which one turns off the beeps as that will let you know what is the issue. There are a few catagories that pertain to the same issue. Those would be for...

    Hikvision PTRZ Dome Cameras

    Let me explain the reasoning for the PTRZ. The downside of using a traditional dome camera is that in order to install, you need to take the dome off. If the dome comes off then you will get dust, moisture, fingerprints, etc inside which most people fail to wipe off. Before the camera's domes...

    Struggling to get a mic going with my IDS-2CD7A26G0-P-IZHSY (ANPR Cams)

    The type of mic you have shown will require an external power supply. The POE power is only to power the camera itself. There are some new cameras now that come with a 12 volt power out on the wiring harness but if yours does not have it then you would need to connect a source of power to the...

    Struggling to get a mic going with my IDS-2CD7A26G0-P-IZHSY (ANPR Cams)

    From what I remember, the mics to connect to the line in need to be amplified. These microphones would have a power input to go to a power source and another end (audio out) to go to the camera inputs. Make sure you go into the camera itself to select the audio in type.

    The holes definitely won't line up. Would need to drill new holes or use self taping screws to mount the plate to the junction box. That style of junction box with the cover would be what I would use. They make larger diameter ones if the PFA130-E is not wide enough.

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Are you mounting it to a soffit? If so then you can just mount the plate to the soffit, push all the wires back through the soffit and clip the camera to that mounting plate. I don't think a junction box for the FCD600 turret would be easy to find. Probably better off finding a universal...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I picked up the FCD600 bullet version but never installed it. I feel that this camera has a bad design. The camera is only able to mount one way that is considered to be correct. You are not able to mount it upside down. The design issue is the rubber cap on the mount. This rubber cap has a...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I noticed that these cameras are better priced on Aliexpress. Takes roughly a week to get to me but for the pricing, it was worth it. I paid $140 for two on the FCD600 8MP version. The FCD600 6MP version oddly was a few dollar more. The original FCD600's were all metal which I bought one of...

    Hikvision DS7732-NXI-i4/S on New firmware v5 ... Max HDD size

    Biggest I have had work on a I-series was 14TB reliably. DS-7616NI-I2. Larger hard drives either wouldn't format and give an error which in turn shows an "abnormal" status for the drive Also have a DS-7732NI-M4. I've got two 18TB's running so I know that would work. I tried a setup with...

    Not safe to by Hikvision equipment since banned in US?

    I feel it is all about politics. Hikvision and Dahua does have some ties with the chinese government but so do other companies in other industries. Positive thing is that they are creating competition and so we are able to have an environment where we get more bang for the buck. I would say...

    Different FPS for continuous and event/motion recordings on Hikvision NVR

    Hikvision NVR. I remember this was doable but don't remember how it was done. So basically the recorder is recording at a lower frames per second continuously but when a motion/event is triggered then it will do a higher frames per second. So for example it would be recording 3 frames per...
