    Connecting to camera using VPN ?

    Why do you need a VPN? Asking because you could just setup a dynamic dns account in your router instead, and use the domain address in your hikvision app and not need the use of a VPN app.

    H.264+

    I have v3.3.4 Build 150616 already on my NVR. Whats the bonus of having this firmware like you suggested?

    H.264+

    I have noticed some of these new 4mp cameras are H.264+ and I noticed at the same time, there is now an updated version of my NVR (DS-7608) which is now the DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A 6MP 80Mbps H.264+. I should be able to select on my NVR, H.264 for these cameras so the '+' shouldn't be a problem? Is...

    Ds-2cd2342

    A few place I used before don't have them and I was getting them for £135 inc vat and any that do are far too expensive at over £150 inc vat. The DS-2CD2342WD-I is less than £150 inc vat and and a bonus when I claim the vat back so if there are no real difference apart from the MP, I'll go...

    Ds-2cd2342

    Hi all i was looking to get another couple of ds-2cd2332 here in the uk but the 4mm models are all out of stock and have been for some time. I have seen it mentioned to consider the ds-2cd2342 instead as a replacement and it has the bonus of being 4MP. The prices are the same so just...

    Turrent or Dome

    I have turrets and one dome and the dome is the worst camera I have put up. Awkward to install and at night it's useless. You would think the dome cover has a white fog type glare on it. Great for daytime use though.

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P and New HD Problem

    Just completed the RMA with WD and a new one will be with me on Tuesday. I buy a lot of HDD's and this was my first Purple. Seagate are the worst and have been for the past 20yrs with me. At least it's not the NVR. Just wondering for the likes of this NVR, would it be better to stick another...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P and New HD Problem

    Just an update. Everyday I checked the NVR, I was presented with a message telling me the drive isn't initialised so I took the HDD out and stuck it in my desktop machine and used WD Data Lifeguard to check the drive. It couldn't complete the scan because it found too many bad sectors. Drive...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P and New HD Problem

    Left the NVR off last night and this morning all seems fine when I switched it on. The hard drive is showing up ok (3TB btw) so not sure what went wrong. I formatted the drive but I will do some playback later to see if recordings are ok. Very strange though.

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P and New HD Problem

    24hrs ago I set up my new Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P and installed a WD Purple HD for storage. The alarm peeping started so I checked the NVR and under the hard disk, it's showing 'Abnormal ' and it states there is no hard disk space free. I reinitialised the drive but it continues to show up...
