    DS-2CD2342WD-I night performance

    Hey fenderman, I agree about the walls, but how do you get around this as far as mounting and orientation go? To mount the cameras where they are away from the walls is going to be a problem if I want the same aspect.

    DS-2CD2342WD-I night performance

    I worked out how to log into my cameras and applied the backlight BLC area to center on one camera and right on the other and that made a big difference. Strangely the backlight settings had almost no effect on the two cameras that were working OK in low light

    DS-2CD2342WD-I night performance

    I am trying to upload 3 images from the cameras but it is stalling on the third. If you look at cam 1 and 2 you can see that they are quite dark whereas cam 3 is quite light and clear.

    DS-2CD2342WD-I night performance

    I have just installed four DS-2CD2342WD-I 2.8mm cameras into a DS-7608NI-I2/8p to replace an analog system. One of the cameras is noticeably inferior to my previous analog camera at night. Items as close a 10m are not really illuminated and clearly visible. Daytime image is good. Another camera...

    hikvision ds-2cd2342 password change.

    Thanks for that, I am very apprehensive of changing to the 5.5.0 firmware at this stage, especially given the amount of obstacles I have encountered so far just getting this system up and running. :smash:

    hikvision ds-2cd2342 password change.

    I could not find any way to export IPC configuration file. I received my file from Hikvision this morning and all is good again. They are very responsive and helpful, but there must be some other way of changing password on a camera.

    hikvision ds-2cd2342 password change.

    I have had so much trouble with passwords on my NVR and cameras. It would seem that once you setup your NVR password and forget it you are locked out of your cameras as well even when the password is reset on the NVR. I had one of my cameras that I connected to test the NVR and forgot the NVR...

    hikvision ds-2cd2342 image distortion.

    I hope this is not a dumb question, but I am setting up my new system and have four hikvision ds-2cd2342 cameras hooked up to a DS-7608NI-I2/8P and the image looks almost fisheye. Is this normal and is it changeable in the settings? thanks Baz

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2 password reset

    Not sure if this was directed at me due to the "@mat200" but the forum looks great and I had a good scan around for info before I posted this. It looks like the newer NVRs have different password reset procedures so I thought it best to start this thread. I am sure I will need the experience of...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2 password reset

    Thanks for the reply. I had my PC and the NVR connected to the router and could not even get the export XML to work. I got another XML file from Hikvision in China and it worked, so I have now reset my password and am back in the game.

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2 password reset

    Hi, I am having trouble after forgetting my password to reset and create a new password. I have tried all the password reset code generators and they have not worked. I have contacted hikvision support and sent them the XLM file. They sent me an XML file to import into SADP. I tried that with...
