    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    There are other browsers that work if you don't want to use those browsers. This would be Palemoon or Sea Monkey. Here is the chart for what works and what doesn't depending on browser from a Hikvision bulletin.

    Hikvision Remote Access via Web Browser is Gone...

    If are using Hik-Connect to access your cameras and opened the ports on your router to so you would be able to get a faster connection and give you access to configuration settings. First I would go into your recorder and check to make sure Hik-Connect is showing online. It is under...

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    If the cameras are plugged into the POE ports on the NVR then yes it is a little hard to access because that internal POE is on a different network than the router. Logging into the NVR and go under camera management is a possibility to select the cameras and go into the login for the cameras...

    Standalone camera - noob questions

    If pixels are not changing then it doesn't add anything and reuses the previous frame. Any pixel that changed then that is basically the only thing that is "saved". It basically just uses what it needs to save the video. It will do everything in the background so you would not know that it is...

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

    Hikvision doesn't have this doorbell. They were going to release it one and half years ago but in the end it didn't show up. They ended up selling it as an EZViz model. If you want firmware then you may check there. Since this is an LTS doorbell I would recommend going to their website and...

    Sanity check on home surveillance kit that I'm looking at

    The kit listed is from Hikvision's "Value Express" line. Honestly look at people using this kit in the real world.... It looks like crap. You will definately get a "No resources" error when trying to view your cameras on the NVR using the local monitor. Are you needing twelve cameras? I am...

    Connection failed on iVMS-4550 after installing new router

    The login is the same as you use on your phone app. This should be the same login as you would use on the unit itself. So looking at the screenshot you posted earlier, your user name is "Tran" and then whatever your password is for that. If you don't know the password then you may ask your...

    Connection failed on iVMS-4550 after installing new router

    So you are using HIDDNS. What has happened is that your old router has one IP address and the new router has a different IP address. Also the new router will need to have the ports forwarded so you will be see your cameras. First.... Go into your NVR at the local monitor. There should be a...

    Hikvision Remote Access via Web Browser is Gone...

    What are you using to access the cameras? You mentioned IVMS4500. I guess that would not mean Hik-connect account because most people who uses remote access through Hik-connect uses the hik-connect app. This leads me to believe you are using a DDNS service? If it works in the app but not on...

    New Hikvision Acusense NVR or DeepInView NVR?

    Well.... Since you said you would be using an Acusense NVR then that would not have an issue with false alarms. The only issue I would see would be that if you were using the cameras with IR then once the sensor lights come on it may take a few seconds for the camera to change out of IR mode...

    New Hikvision Acusense NVR or DeepInView NVR?

    Acusense NVR 8 vs 16... Keep in mind that either one you get.... Only 4 channels AI when connecting to regular cameras. It is great to get the 16 to "futureproof" your setup. Bullet on the second floor is good to get a general overview of what is happening. Would recommend some cameras set...

    New Hikvision Acusense NVR or DeepInView NVR?

    Yes. You can specify which ones to use the NVR's onboard AI. Example of this would be when you log into your Hikvision NVR and under "Events" there is a box to check for "Enable Dynamic Analysis". That is the same concept. Click on it to use the onboard AI. Unchecked then it won't. If you...

    Firefox instead of Microshaft Internet Explorer

    IE is needed for devices on firmware 4.1.54 and under for NVR and 5.5.80 and under for IP cameras. Anything about that is able to use Chrome or Firefox with limitations. There are certain features that won't be available on certain browsers. With that being said....since you have a NXI model...

    New Hikvision Acusense NVR or DeepInView NVR?

    Just getting a Acusense camera by itself and adding it to a regular NVR works great also. Usually you would log into the acusense camera and set up the "AI" portion. That way the camera uses it's AI to filter the results and then pass those results to the NVR as events.

    Best way to record 140 camera with server.

    I would have just used a 256 channel Hikvision NVR. Running a standalone server with enough processing power to take video from each camera and put it on the HDD.... You are running 8MP cameras which have a bit rate of 8-11mbps each. A sata HDD has a theoretical throughput of 600MBps max. It...

    Powered by DarkFighter 8MP or ColourVu 4MP

    If you want authorized distributor then the easiest is B&H Photo. Other's would be like ADI but you would probably need an account to purchase. It depends on if you value the warranty or access to tech support or not. If not they are sold on Amazon. Next option would be OEM's. I am sure...

    Google home and hikvision

    Hikvision is a prosumer/commercial grade. Buyers of that level care more about function/reliability/features then the way it aesthetically looks. It is just like work vans compared to the vans for family use.

    Standalone camera - noob questions

    Smart codec seem like it would be encoding in H265+ which compresses video more so you can get more video on the amount of space available. I would have that on. Then change to VBR. That is for variable bit rate. Use less for times with less movement and more when there are changes happening...

    HikVision DS-2CD2347G1-L(U) Which lens would best for driveway

    A 4MM or 6MM will give you a more narrow field of view which will get rid of the view of your neighbor's area. Is there any type of lighting such as streetlight or porch light? I have the same camera with the LED turned off and it is able to see great! I don't have the WDR on. I feel when...

    Deepinview vs Acusense

    DeepInView is the top of the line AI camera that Hikvision makes. It is more advanced due to it being able to detect behavior instead of the human/vehicle of the Acusense. The AI is suppose to be faster in DeepInView compared to the Acusense. If you already have an existing system then yes...
