    Thoughts on new DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 4MP PTZ?

    This unit doesn't have pattern, patrol or smart tracking so not going to be able to program a scene. You can do presets but won't be able to have it do anything automatically. Just select the preset manually and it goes to that position. Park position works though for when you are playing...

    Can anyone identify this car?

    Definitely an Altima and not the Sentra. The headlights on the Altima are projectors. Sentra has the reflectors. The camera pictures certainly have the projectors.

    LTS (rebranded Hik) NVR not Working w/ DHCP

    3.4.96 will still require plugins. GUI 4.0 will use plug in also unless you have a firmware 4.1.65 and up. That firmware and any after that will have support for other browsers since it is not using the NPAPI. You can always use the client software. That may be easier if trying to liveview...

    LTS (rebranded Hik) NVR not Working w/ DHCP

    The issue is with the firmware. GUI 4.0 has bugs that includes issues with POE overload, freezing, rebooting and no resources. The fix for it is to downgrade the firmware to the 3.4.96 build 180912. After downgrading then make sure the unit is defaulted and start from scratch.

    DS-9664NI-I8 Unsupported Stream Type when viewing >4 streams

    Usually when viewing more camera's at once then it will be showing as "substream". When bringing up full screen then it will be in "mainstream". Substream will usually be at a lower resolution. The next thing to double check would be the encoding type. Having it on H265 or H265+ will save on...

    CCTV NVR on solar?

    Usually if you are using a mobile provider such as AT&T is that they will not let you open ports. Best thing to do is to use the cloud access on the Hikvision. That way if the IP address changes then you are still able to view your cameras because the NVR will update the IP address with the...

    CCTV NVR on solar?

    Hikvision NVR itself will use around 15 watts of power. Each camera depending on which models you choose will use about 4-9 watts for the most basic camera. PTZ's will use way more. 20-60 watts depending on model. If you are streaming video then of course it will use alot of data. Each...

    IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED - Worth it?

    I have read the reviews on this. The question being the added feature of SMD which will be implemented. This camera doesn't have it now. Camera just has the basic IVS with face detection, perimeter protection, etc but not true SMD. So this camera with SMD be a better option than the...

    IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED - Worth it?

    Anybody have any feedback on this camera? IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED So 24/7 NightColor camera. My Dahua rep was telling me that they will have a new firmware coming out for this in the next couple months which they add SMD feature to it so it sounds enticing.

    Will it notify/beep to acknowledge that it saw someone pass by or just alert when it detects a high temperature?

    Thermal Cameras

    Hikvision version is around $5000. No blackbody needed. Without blackbody will get accuracy of 0.5 degrees C. With blackbody then will get 0.1 degrees C. FDA only requires 0.5 degrees. From what I see. $5000 for camera, tripod and tripod adapter. Will need either a Hikvision NVR or a...

    Thermal Cameras

    Does it seem like a lot of businesses are getting thermal cameras now for "fever" detection? I see that the Hikvision version has DeepInView (AI) and can pinpoint the temperature of a person's forehead at a rate of 30 people at a time. Temperature accuracy is at 0.5 degrees Celsius (0.9...

    Help need in deleting the IP Camera's on a Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2/8P

    You will not be able to delete the camera. D1-D8 is actually the physical ports of the unit's POE port. You can click on the edit button and change it back to "plug and play". That way it will automatically set an IP address to the cameras plugged into the internal POE and use the password of...

    Hard Drive Priorities

    I know for the Hikvision units it will support over what is listed in the spec sheets. Reason is because at the time the unit came out the larger size was not readily available and so the spec sheet just shows the max that it was tested with. I have tried larger HDD's than what is listed in...

    With a 16 channel Hikvision NVR, is it possible to get a direct RTSP stream of one of the cameras?

    AI/Active Detterence false alarms

    Hikvision and their OEM products would be harder. Yes.... if you were to use Hikvision firmware with Hikvision products or Hikvision OEM firmware on Hikvision OEM then of course it is easy to update. The issue is if you have a Hikvision OEM product and you were wanting to put a Hikvision...

    AI/Active Detterence false alarms

    I have used both the Dahua and the Hikvision. The Dahua line is going to be a cheaper price and you are able to update the firmware easily even if you get an OEM camera with Dahua firmware. Hikvision is roughly 20% more expensive and will not be as easy to update. In my opinion the Hikvision...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    So the doorbell is going to the Hik-Connect server? I thought for the OEM's it will show a server of dev.guardingvision.com instead of the Hikconnect one?

    Hikvision - Motion detect & many false alarm

    Motion detection is triggered by changes in color to the pixels so any one of the dots in the picture changing colors will set it off. Using intrusion or line crossing will reduce false alarms. If using intrusion still gives false alarms then raise the threshold or lower the sensitivity...

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    Yes. NVR's 4.1.61 and up Cameras 5.5.81 and up Anything older than that is out of luck. Will need to use IE or anything that supports NPAPI.
