    WBOX 4Channel NVR

    From what I know, WBox is the ADI "OEM" brand made by Hikvision. If the secure codes don't work on it then try using SADP to export a file out to send in to someone that can convert it for you. They will send you the file back which you use to import back to the device to reset.

    Hikvision NVR Notification settings

    Yes it can be done. Log into the recorder either locally or over the web. You will need to go to the detection page (motion, line crossing, intrusion, etc). First will show the camera screen shot. You will notice that you also have two other tabs on that page. One is arming schedule. This...

    Hikvision NVR not booting up

    Few things to check... Disconnect the cameras from the built in POE. Does it boot up properly? Open the case and unplug the hard drive power cable. What we are doing here is troubleshooting to see if it is a power issue if the power supply to the unit is weak. Try both the VGA and HDMI...

    Hikvision 7716Nxi or 7616nxi

    @Parley is correct. "77" series vs "76" difference is only the hard drive spots. 4 vs 2. Do remember that with the NXI's (acusense) that they only have support for 4 dumb cameras to be used with the NVR's AI. Any camera after the 4 will require a camera with built in AI in order to have that...

    Hikvision dome camera lens cleaning?

    Looks like a new dome will need to be ordered for those. Yes you can remove the coating but then you may be getting a lot of glare. Remember to get the foam rings that goes in between the dome and the lens. Those usually are worn out also. You can put some rain-x or ceramic coating on the...

    Hikvision dome camera lens cleaning?

    Hikvision will have the domes available but whether they will sell them to you is the issue. Hikvision will only sell items to distributors/integrators/installers. You can call their tech support line and have them transfer you to presales and see if they would sell you the dome. More likely...

    Hikvision dome camera lens cleaning?

    I believe that Hikvision does have replacement domes. Honestly there is really no reason to have a dome camera unless you really need the impact resistance. Turret cameras are better in all aspects. Domes from my experience has a few inherent flaws. Besides the dome itself aging and causing...

    Hikvision Dome Cameras - do I need to port forward even when using HikConnect?

    When using Hik-Connect, it does not require port forwarding. You can do port forwarding which will give you a faster connection and you would have access to the configuration settings which aren't available without port forwarding done.

    Hikvision dome camera lens cleaning?

    Distilled water and a microfiber cloth will be what I would use. These usually have an antiglare coating on it that Windex and anything with ammonia may strip.

    Acusense 2.0 and ColorVu 2.0

    G2 is better using the default settings? From what I remember the G1 by default is using shutter speed of 1/30 with a gain of 100%. I wonder if it is the hardware side that is improved or just optimization of the software (firmware). The gain seems to do a lot as far as brightness on the G1...

    Acusense 2.0 and ColorVu 2.0

    I just ordered the mini bullet version. Seems from the specs that it is newer hardware. Reason I say this is that older hardware have a max of 128 for SD card. The bullet has max of 256 gigs for the SD card that I have been seeing on the newer Hikvision camera specs. Also I chose the bullet...

    Difficult lighting- gentleman’s club

    From my testing the Hikvision based units get better image compared to the Dahua ones so with the LED's turned off on the cameras then I would suggest the Hikvision units. The image will be a lot brighter. I have played with the settings such as shutter speed on both and that is what I feel if...

    Driver’s license reader

    You have a few options here. You can get a LPR camera which will capture the plates. For storage it will either: 1) Store on the SD card in the camera itself or 2) Send the information to the NVR. With either option you will be able to do searches on the information. LPR cameras there...

    Difficult lighting- gentleman’s club

    I have got both the Dahua and Hikvision version and don't have the white LED's turned on. The only thing providing lighting in the area are two solar accent lights (about 10 lumens each) and the neighbor's porch light across the street (about 150 feet away) and the image is very good.

    Difficult lighting- gentleman’s club

    They have cameras that have bigger sensors to absorb more light with super low lux ratings. These don't have IR lights but have built in white LED's which can be disabled in the settings. They will be in color 24/7. Examples would be the Hikvision ColorVu and the Dahua Nightcolor lines.

    Is DS-7732NXI-I4/4S a good DVR choice?

    There shouldn't be a difference between the two as far as noise level. Both 76 and 77 will be same. DS-7616NI-I2 is the model that is the most popular when it comes to Hikvision NVR's in the USA. I haven't seen any issues on this series. (76-"I" Series) It has a good combination as far as...

    4K video question

    Both ways will give you the 4K stream if you are playing the "main stream". The "sub stream" will be the lower quality stream. The screen resolution scenario still applies in this case. For transferring the video.... Depending on the length of the video.... best to do the save onto the...

    Is DS-7732NXI-I4/4S a good DVR choice?

    That model is an Acusense which has a basic AI on it to detect human and vehicles to lessen false alarms. Since it is the "77" series then it will have four SATA ports instead of two SATA with the "76" series. The AI can be used with four regular cameras. If you want AI on cameras after the...

    4K video question

    If you went into the camera settings of either the NVR or camera and set it to 4K (8MP) then it will be recording in that resolution. If your monitor/TV that you are trying to view the video is not 4K then you will not see the full resolution. Trying to view 4K video on 1080P TV will only show...

    Hikvision turret cameras lost password tried to reset but not working.

    Most is not all of the newer cameras will have a reset button on it. Use the 30-30-30 method. 30 seconds holding the button down....Unplug power while holding button down for 30 seconds.... Plug power back in while pushing button. Then release the button and it will reset itself to factory...

    Hikvision Acusense 8MP motion blur

    There would be a few items I would check. Go into the camera settings. 1) Is it on CBR or VBR? Either one is okay. Mine is set to VBR. Make sure the max bitrate is high enough. 2) What is the Max Bitrate? Having this too low will cause issues depending on if it is set to H264/H265. 3)...

    4K video question

    There are two ways to get the video recording. One would be to put an SD card in the camera. With that then you can set it to record to the card and then use the IVMS4200 to view the video. Viewing the video can also be accessed by using a web browser to log into the camera and then go to...

    ColorVu, basic guidance needed

    Yes. If you have an Acusense NVR then you can have four channels with regular cameras and the NVR will supply the processing of the AI features for them. It doesn't matter if you get the 8CH/16CH/32Ch.... You still just get 4 channels of NVR processed AI. After that (fifth camera and up)...

    Kids Throw a Cheese Stick at my Car (not my car)

    Good thing it was just a cheese stick. I had a similar experience. I was driving with the sunroof open and the kids in the bus were trying to see who could spit and have it go through the sunroof. I didn't notice till I saw spit on my front windshield and thinking to myself that it definitely...

    ColorVu, basic guidance needed

    You will have no issues doing the things you want with the ColorVu. Put the SD card inside for the recording. Power up the camera with a POE switch or injector and put it on your network. Then activate the camera and give it an IP address. Under network settings you will see the option for...

    Alternative way of recovering HikVision NVR password

    If you would like, I can see if I can help on this. Export the XML file using SADP and send it to me. I will get you a file to import back in. Do keep in mind that after you export the file that you DO NOT turn off the DVR. If it is turned off then the XML that was exported will not be good...
