    ColorVu day/night setting

    Did a cold reboot removing POE power and reapplying and I think problem solved. The issue of the adjacent floodlight was also an issue. It would not allow the LED to activate on Auto, and I could not get the sensitivity adjustment to compensate. By changing from Auto activation to Scheduled...

    ColorVu day/night setting

    I know the LED is functioning, or at least it was a couple of days ago when I started this project. I'll verify. No, the cameras are not using the same firmware version. I thought about the adjacent floodlight and played around with the sensitivity setting last night but different settings...

    ColorVu day/night setting

    Thank you for the settings. I'll try those and report back. I actually have 2 of these cameras in use. I reset both cameras back to the factory default settings and last night one of them cycled the Supplemental LED fine. The other never came on. I found this weird and wonder if this...

    ColorVu day/night setting

    The model number shown in the System Settings may be a proprietary rebranded number used by a dealer for their installs. It is HNC344-XD/LU. I know the camera is a DS-2CD2347GI-LU. Firmware ver. V5.6.2 build 191111 Encoding ver. V7.3 build 190722 Firmware Version Property C-R-G1-0 I

    ColorVu day/night setting

    Please see my OP. The ONLY choices are Day or Night, and then a second drop down menu that states ON or OFF. No auto, scheduled, triggered, etc. There are some LED options in another section, but I'm specifically asking about the ones in Image> Display Settings menu section. I can understand...

    ColorVu day/night setting

    Hikvision DS-2CD2347 ColorVu camera. I'm having some issues with getting the LED supplemental light to come on/off as I want it to. My question is in regards to the settings in Image> Display Settings menu. Under the section <Day/Night Switch> there are two settings options: Day/Night Switch...

    BI using older version

    About 6 years ago I had a computer running BI and switched to an NVR. I still have the license number but have no idea as to the version I was running. How could I determine the version and is it possible to download older versions of the program. I'd like to try it again before purchasing...

    VPN problem

    I'm running Open VPN on a Asus RT-86U router, and using Hikvision IVMS-4500 software for remote viewing. I've recently developed an issue where I cannot make a VPN connection on my iPhone. While at home I can however view the cameras when connected to my network. It's been a couple of years...

    MS Edge in IE mode

    To live view my Hikvision camera I have to use Edge in IE mode. It seems it use to be in a drop down window but I can't find the option anywhere. I've tried the section in settings>default browser>"allow programs to run in IE" but that doesn't work. Any help appreciated.

    Tendelux IR Illuminator AI4 Infrared Light

    The AI4 specs state "Make sure that your camera is sensitive to 850nm infrared light". I am assuming this is compatible with Hikvision cameras?? I feel the DI10 is a real value but in my case I only need light from 0-30 ft.

    Tendelux IR Illuminator AI4 Infrared Light

    Thanks. That looks like a perfect solution.

    Tendelux IR Illuminator AI4 Infrared Light

    I understand. Also, did you use the power supply that came with it. Seems like common problem is the power supply on the IR illuminators are a little under powered and run hot. Where I need to put the power supply is in a storage shed and summer temps are high. Guess I could take a chance...

    Tendelux IR Illuminator AI4 Infrared Light

    After you opened them up did you do something to prevent future water intrusion, like some kind of sealant? I read part of the thread on the DI10 illuminator and I don't see any mention of water intrusion in it. May have been mentioned and I didn't see it. I don't mind spending the extra few...

    Tendelux IR Illuminator AI4 Infrared Light

    The IR illuminator light on one of my Hikvision cameras bit the dust. I need an auxiliary light and only need about 30 ft of coverage, so I'm considering the Tenderlux 4w AI4. Some of the reviews indicate there may be an issue with water intrusion, but if mounted under a soffit would this be a...

    Ebay computer sellers

    Well, that's what I'm thinking. I'm sure one could get a defective computer but I would think the high volume, good rating dealers would be pretty consistent in providing good machines, or at least making things right if it was bad out of the box. Comparable computers look cheaper from these...

    Ebay computer sellers

    Size is not an issue for me, but no place for a 3.5" drive is not a preference. However with a SATA interface I could stick a SSD in it.

    Ebay computer sellers

    Could you give me a link on the Intel 12th gen cpu. It may not still be on sale, but I never can find the good deals on the Dell Outlet. I may be going to the wrong place. The I3 would work for me but I'd really prefer SSD storage. The HP looks like a good find also.

    Ebay computer sellers

    I need to pick up a Dell desktop computer. Since there are so many dealers selling Dell refurbs I was wondering if anyone has had particularly good results with a specific seller?

    backup software

    No, I don't remember that. I've had pretty frequent Macrium updates, and constant Windows updates and I can't say I've ever had a problem. But, sooner or later one of the two will cause problems. What's interesting is I've discovered Western Digital offers Acronis basic edition free if you...

    backup software

    AOMEI is what is was looking at. All I need is partition backups, and hopefully the ability to do them automatically. Of course, Macrium would generate Win PE install disk so you could quickly re-install C: drive, but I never had to use it. I'd like something that the paid version offered and...

    backup software

    Yeah, I am too!! For right now I'm going to stay with Macrium Free until I see what's going to happen. If I spend money, I'll probably go back with Macrium as I'm familiar with how it works and trust it. Before I do that I may try a couple of the other free ones, but you never really never...

    backup software

    Help me out here. I've never used script files before. Where is the text inserted and what activates it? It doesn't appear the script runs automatically but is kinda like a macro. And yes, I'm hoping Macrium will still work for a few more years. There well be no security updates but I would...

    backup software

    Years ago I used Acronis True Image and it worked fine. Good software. I can't see any advantage of it over Macrium and it is more expensive. But it boils down to which one you are the most familiar with using and feel comfortable with.

    backup software

    Yeah, I may buy it as well. If my application was for business I'd definitely stay with it, but for the way I use it a free version would be nice. Although they won't be supporting the program, I assume it can still be used but won't be available for download.

    backup software

    I've used the free version of Macrium Reflect for years and it does everything and more than what I need. The company is dropping support for the free version in early 2024. I'm not sure if this just means no upgrades, but I would think downloads will no longer be available. I'm looking for...

    Hikvision NVR video issue

    Edit: The Asus monitor connected to the NVR has a function called "alignment grid". Whatever it is it got turned on accidentally. The vertical and horizontal lines it made were exactly to the pixel overlaying the lines that the NVR camera windows produced. Fixed.

    Hikvision NVR video issue

    Hikvision 7608NI with 8 cameras. With 8 cameras there are actually 9 windows of the same size showing on the monitor. When any of the cameras go into full screen mode (initiated by line crossing or manually) the grid lines from the windows are still present on the screen. The camera image is...

    The tech flaw that lets hackers control surveillance cameras

    What are some ways to lock down tight a network? Obviously a good firewall first. What would be an example of other common vulnerable devices? Even with my VPN for accessing cameras, I'm starting to wonder if I should have anything that I can access remotely.

    hikvision NVR securiity

    "This exact possibility is one of the reasons that a truly security-conscious person doesn't let their NVR or cameras have internet access in the first place" I saw this statement in a cyber security thread. If one is accessing their system through an OpenVPN connection you have to have an...
