    SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

    I have v5.6.0 build 190128 for your model, not sure if it would be any different. I've asked around about downgrading from v5.6.x to an earlier firmware with full access to the shell but haven't had any feedback. I'll try on Monday if I can get my hands on the camera.

    [MCR] Hikvision packer/unpacker for 5.3.x and newer firmware

    Out of interest, if you had a G1 series camera ( v5.6+ firmware) with nonPSH access, would it be possible to downgrade to a much earlier firmware? Other advantages one could leverage with that level of access?

    Embedding Live Stream Without Plugin (Newest Firmwares)

    If you are open to using an earlier version of Chrome (v75) it may be possible. It would still require a plugin. I'll try it over the weekend and get back to you if it works.

    NSA alerts Microsoft of Windows 10 security flaw

    Mark Zuckerberg thwarted them back in 2016! With such disdain for his users privacy, I found it amusing when he covered his mic and webcam with tape. If only it were that simple. Guess it's a start.

    Install error - Windows 10

    Try the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool. Follow the suggestions then try re-install BI. Failing that, download the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and install it. Do a Windows update if you still don't come right.

    NSA alerts Microsoft of Windows 10 security flaw

    Let's not forget the time _NSAKEY was discovered. Tin-foil hat aside, the NSA has been surprisingly open in sharing (and maintaining) some of their tools of late.

    I think I was hacked, need help

    Interesting - Most out-of-the-box Hikvision G1 series cameras I've worked with default to that puzzling 1970 year once activated. I've always considered it a quirk. We always set the date / time zone directly on the camera to correct this. Access the camera via the webGUI and correct the...

    Start of recording missing in case of alarm

    Can't say for sure as I have not used Synology but I suspect the following may help. Install a 16/32GB micro SD-card in each camera and set them to continuously record. Configure Motion/Alarm in Scheduled Settings to 24/7 and click Advanced. Set Pre-record and Post-record to 10s. Make sure the...

    DS-7608 NVR - can you use IVMS4200

    Load Hikvision's SADP tool on your PC and it should detect the NVR. iVMS-4200 may not find the NVR if it's on a different address range than your PC. Let us know if SADP discovers the device.

    Secure web access to DS-7616NI-I2 possible ?

    I could ramble on about several leading manufacturers with the same issue. I haven't run into your issue with Hikvision though. It is possible to add the cert. to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities in Chrome to remedy this but requires each and every client using Chrome to import the...

    Figuring out Hikvision API / ISAPI

    You can set the schedule via a PUT request. This should work provided you have CGI enabled and created a user with admin privileges. The following uses the Talend API extension for Chrome. PUT http://admin:[email protected]/ISAPI/Image/channels/1/ircutFilter Body: <?xml version="1.0"...

    Secure web access to DS-7616NI-I2 possible ?

    Not sure this will work in your case but a possible lead. Firefox allows you to add Server Exceptions. In settings under Privacy & Security>Certificates>View Certificates on the Servers tab try add a exception. This works for my VPN setup. Several remote devices that use self-signed certs not...

    Mouse Problem

    As stated above, the mouse that comes bundled with the NVR is an exercise of one's self control. Moving the mouse to one of the other USB ports occasionally remedies the issue. FYI, the NVR supports wireless mice.

    Adding camera to iVMS-4200 via Cloud P2P Error

    Which version of iVMS-4200 are you running? v3 may need the hiCloud process to be running. The executable is horribly named as startUp.exe and references EzViz at login. Windows UAC might be preventing it starting automatically. Your firewall may also be a factor. I use iVMS-4200 v2.8.2.2 as it...

    Max connection Streams in Hikvision DVR

    Out of interest, after you reach the limit, 115 if I follow correctly, try display the sub-streams (102, 202, 302 etc) on a different PC and see if they are visible.

    Max connection Streams in Hikvision DVR

    My thoughts, and hope someone will interject if I'm way off. What constitutes the 128 concurrent connections you mention are not clearly defined in your DVR's documentation. It may infer the DVR is capable of a combination of network connections and not dedicated solely to streaming connections...

    Network Resource Usage of NVR ridiculous high

    Glad to hear you found a solution. I have a similar setup with a 16 channel NVR connected to 11 cameras and have not run into your abnormal network usage issue. I use iVMS-4200 v2.8.2.2 as I find v3 has some quirks. Not saying the following played a part in the issue but might be worth checking...

    Copy camera shot to google drive (my camera not have menu) - help

    Some suggestions: Consider using a NAS like QNAP's TS-251B. Point the cameras in Configuration>Storage>Storage Management>Net HDD to save images to the NAS. Then load QNAP's Cloud Drive App on the NAS and connect it to your Google Drive. From there you should be able to sync the files. The app...

    Copy camera shot to google drive (my camera not have menu) - help

    Does your router allow a mass storage device to be attached and support SMB? If so, it might be possible to save the images to the NAS and have the PC manage the file retention via a scheduled task. Another possible lead is Mountain Duck.

    Network Resource Usage of NVR ridiculous high

    A few thoughts: Make sure all firmware on the NVR and cameras are the latest. (camera models?) Temporarily disable Cloud P2P globally (looks like NVR and some cameras have it concurrently set) and monitor the LAN traffic. Cloud P2P connected clients like iVMS-4200 on the PC and Hik-connect on...
