    Hikvision DS-7608 NI-E2/8P & DS-2CD2042WD-I ENDLESS ISSUES

    Like nayer said, I wonder if the CPU of your client machine(s) could be causing some of this. I was running off a two-year-old Mac when I had your NVR. I could run and record at 2688 X 1520 successfully, both in IVMS-4200 Mac and Safari (except for the gaps in the recording) and play recorded...

    Hikvision DS-7608 NI-E2/8P & DS-2CD2042WD-I ENDLESS ISSUES

    I'm glad we're friends again.:D I too blame Hikvision, it always seems like they fix one problem and then the fix makes two other problems. I also wondered if these units might just be from a defective batch, some of the problems seem so consistent. My original post kind of hijacked this thread...

    Hikvision DS-7608 NI-E2/8P & DS-2CD2042WD-I ENDLESS ISSUES

    Re: Hikvision DS-7608 NI-E2/8P & DS-2CD2042WD-I ENDLESS ISSUES No you never called me an idiot, but you kind of implied at the time, as you sometimes do, that people who had these problems with this NVR were. Del Boy, you are one of the most active and helpful members of this forum, and you...

    Hikvision DS-7608 NI-E2/8P & DS-2CD2042WD-I ENDLESS ISSUES

    Do you have this NVR working completely with 4MP cams? There are many posts on this forum from many others documenting this problem. When I was looking for solutions to this the only "help" you gave me was essentially telling me I was an idiot and that it my n00bie fault but not offering any...

    Hikvision DS-7608 NI-E2/8P & DS-2CD2042WD-I ENDLESS ISSUES

    I had your problems 2 and 4 with the exact same NVR and cameras and spent endless hours looking for solutions. I concluded that the lack of 4MP support listed in the specs explained it all. I sold the DS-7608 NI-E2/8P and bought a DS-7608NI-I2/8P on AliExpress. Now the system works as it...

    3.4.80 Build 160718

    PS: I don't use Intrusion Detection but Line Crossing works. Emails working now with Sendgrid. I'm not going to try with Gmail until it breaks again.

    3.4.80 Build 160718

    Yes, everything works except Live View in Safari on my Mac (unless you switch to UDP). Live View works with TCP with the individual cameras so it's the Web Plugin in the NVR update that's the problem. If if you change the feed to UDP from TCP Live View works for the NVR but the IP links only...

    3.4.80 Build 160718

    Yes, apparently V3.4.82 build160818 resolved the RAM issues. Works on mine well but with some new, minor issues created as per usual for Hikvision.

    Odd ivms 4500 issue

    I didn't think of that - or that that camera's sub-stream is set at a higher bitrate than the others.

    Odd ivms 4500 issue

    I've had that happen too around the time I loaded the latest firmware (V3.4.82 build160818). I've noticed that if I let the last cam load in the 4 channel view first, and it'll take awhile, then open the single screen, it almost always works. Then close IVMS-4500 when it's in 4 channel view...

    HELP - Can't conect TPLINK extender to NVR Hikvision DS-7104NI-SL/W

    X2 for Powerline. I can run at full resolution with a 4MP camera on mine. The connection light shows red but it has apparently more than enough bandwidth for one cam. Netgear Powerline 1200 from Amazon. X2 from me on not using Wifi too, was too slow even at 5Mhz.

    Hikvision NVR Live View and Playback Failed with Safari Workaround

    I guess I can just enable TCP when I need to make finer adjustments to the cams but it's still pretty perplexing.

    V3.4.80/82 Breaks Live View And Playback In Mac Safari

    I'm on V3.4.82 but I assume V3.4.80 will have the same issue. Here's what I wrote Hikvision: "I have a DS-7608NI-I2/8P that I recently updated to firmware version V3.4.82 build 160818 that includes Plugin Version V3.0.6.6. The new plugin has broken Live View and Playback under Mac Safari...

    Hikvision ds-7608ni-i2 upgrade firmware to fix email issues ?? Yet

    OK, I lied. Updated to v3.4.82 on my DS-7608NI-I2/8P remotely and everything seems to be OK. Can't find the smart events in the playback timeline but I'm sure I'm missing a setting or two somewhere. I'll play with that and Gmail when I get home.

    Hikvision ds-7608ni-i2 upgrade firmware to fix email issues ?? Yet

    Both V3.4.80 and V3.4.82 are 41.9 MB so maybe V3.4.82 is stand-alone and not a patch I guess?

    Hikvision ds-7608ni-i2 upgrade firmware to fix email issues ?? Yet

    I misspoke, I'm currently v3.4.62 not v3.3.62. If I decide to go for it is the upgrade path: First V3.4.80 build 160718, then V3.4.82 build 160818 after? Does V3.4.82 only exist to correct the problems that V3.4.80 created for the DS-7608NI-I2's or is it a stand-alone update?

    Hikvision NVR Live View and Playback Failed with Safari Workaround

    Does UDP use the cam ports differently? The links are pointing to: 192:xxx.xx.x:65001, 65002 and 65003, but even if I manually type the address and port in a new tab, I always end up with camera #1, no matter what port I use. I also chose and saved UDP for each three cam separately within their...

    Hikvision NVR Live View and Playback Failed with Safari Workaround

    This DID fix the problem of killing the video when accessing the cams from the Camera Management "virtual server" page links but it creates another problem that I don't understand. When using UDP all the camera links open the same camera, camera #1. When I switch back to TCP the links all go to...

    Hikvision NVR Live View and Playback Failed with Safari Workaround

    Thank you for this, I'll give this a try. I've been having somewhat repeatable problems with Safari v9.1.1 on EC 10.11.5, mostly when launching a cam from the virtual server config page kills both the Live View and Playback.
