    [SOLVED] Hikvision NVR Won't Recognize Camera Using Ubiquiti Nanostations

    You mentioned that the NVR would support up to 6MP. Would this NVR be an E-series? If so then from what I remember that unit only supports up to H264+. I would check on the 6MP camera and make sure it is set to H264 or H264+. Most of the newer cameras default to an H265 compression which the...

    Hikvision PTRZ Dome Cameras

    Interestingly on the design of the camera, if water was to get inside the base/harness portion... they have put weep holes so the moisture can drip out. If I was to nit-pick, the clips that hold the camera to the base seem to be made of a sort of plastic. There is a locking screw that secures...

    Intermittent beeping on my Hikvision DS 7604NI-KI/4P

    Oops.... Then guess will need password reset on recorder.... On an older firmware then use secure code, if newer firmware then export XML file to send in. Unless OP is luck and has a flash drive with a GUID file on it. It does lock you out after 5 or 6 tries so even if you put in the...

    Struggling to get a mic going with my IDS-2CD7A26G0-P-IZHSY (ANPR Cams)

    No the POE injector doesn't power the mic. So the injector has a networking cable going to the RJ45 to the camera side. This powers the camera only. UNLESS you are not using a powered (POE) switch then you would need a 12v power going to the 5521 barrel connector input on the camera. So if...

    Issue with newer ColorVu camera (now displaying in black and white)

    Check the hybrid light option to see if that is turned on. If so then the camera won't switch to color mode until a detection method has triggered it to switch to color mode. The lighting mode can also be switched from the Hik-Connect app. Maybe it was manually switched to a different...

    Problem with Hybrid Light Camera

    For mine to do the hybrid illumination mode, this is what I do. "Smart Supplemental Light" is turned on. Under "Supplement Light Mode" there are three options. White supplemental light is meaning the white light is on. IR means the IR light (black/white). Off is no illumination. Smart is...

    Intermittent beeping on my Hikvision DS 7604NI-KI/4P

    If you go into the "Exception" menu and disable then save the "audible warning" for each catagory then it will stop the beeps. Notate which one turns off the beeps as that will let you know what is the issue. There are a few catagories that pertain to the same issue. Those would be for...

    Hikvision PTRZ Dome Cameras

    Let me explain the reasoning for the PTRZ. The downside of using a traditional dome camera is that in order to install, you need to take the dome off. If the dome comes off then you will get dust, moisture, fingerprints, etc inside which most people fail to wipe off. Before the camera's domes...

    Struggling to get a mic going with my IDS-2CD7A26G0-P-IZHSY (ANPR Cams)

    The type of mic you have shown will require an external power supply. The POE power is only to power the camera itself. There are some new cameras now that come with a 12 volt power out on the wiring harness but if yours does not have it then you would need to connect a source of power to the...

    Struggling to get a mic going with my IDS-2CD7A26G0-P-IZHSY (ANPR Cams)

    From what I remember, the mics to connect to the line in need to be amplified. These microphones would have a power input to go to a power source and another end (audio out) to go to the camera inputs. Make sure you go into the camera itself to select the audio in type.

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    The holes definitely won't line up. Would need to drill new holes or use self taping screws to mount the plate to the junction box. That style of junction box with the cover would be what I would use. They make larger diameter ones if the PFA130-E is not wide enough.

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    Are you mounting it to a soffit? If so then you can just mount the plate to the soffit, push all the wires back through the soffit and clip the camera to that mounting plate. I don't think a junction box for the FCD600 turret would be easy to find. Probably better off finding a universal...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I picked up the FCD600 bullet version but never installed it. I feel that this camera has a bad design. The camera is only able to mount one way that is considered to be correct. You are not able to mount it upside down. The design issue is the rubber cap on the mount. This rubber cap has a...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    I noticed that these cameras are better priced on Aliexpress. Takes roughly a week to get to me but for the pricing, it was worth it. I paid $140 for two on the FCD600 8MP version. The FCD600 6MP version oddly was a few dollar more. The original FCD600's were all metal which I bought one of...

    Hikvision DS7732-NXI-i4/S on New firmware v5 ... Max HDD size

    Biggest I have had work on a I-series was 14TB reliably. DS-7616NI-I2. Larger hard drives either wouldn't format and give an error which in turn shows an "abnormal" status for the drive Also have a DS-7732NI-M4. I've got two 18TB's running so I know that would work. I tried a setup with...

    Not safe to by Hikvision equipment since banned in US?

    I feel it is all about politics. Hikvision and Dahua does have some ties with the chinese government but so do other companies in other industries. Positive thing is that they are creating competition and so we are able to have an environment where we get more bang for the buck. I would say...

    Different FPS for continuous and event/motion recordings on Hikvision NVR

    Hikvision NVR. I remember this was doable but don't remember how it was done. So basically the recorder is recording at a lower frames per second continuously but when a motion/event is triggered then it will do a higher frames per second. So for example it would be recording 3 frames per...

    Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

    NCD800 is indeed the same as the DS-2CD2387G2P. The FCD600 from what I see is not a version that Hikvision has. The closest is the DS-2CD2367G2P. Sensor size, lux rating and most specs are the same. Differences would be the material that it is made in. FCD600 version 2 is full plastic with...

    Hikvision DVR wifi

    When I was doing research on this, there were only two models of wifi dongles that worked. These dongles were also all "N" single band, 2.4 ghz. TL-WN725N and TL-WN823N. The wifi connection will only let you use the cloud connection and you will only see the analog cameras. If you added IP...

    Looking to upgrade rare annke camera to hikvision, any idea of the device name for hikvision? (annke I91DW)

    I don't think hikvision sells that camera. That camera has both IR and white light. If you look at the specs, it seems to be same sensor size and specs as their Annke's FCD600 but with 8MP (4MP per lens).

    Dahua NVR AI

    Reading the spec sheets the newest Dahua NVR's are able to do AI processing on the back end (NVR side) and not have to rely on the camera to have the functions. Would this NVR based AI only work for Dahua cameras or does it work for cameras added in using ONVIF? I haven't found any...

    Has my Hikvision ip camera been hacked?

    I remember there was this event late last year where people were hacking into Hikvision and Hikvision OEM cameras and leaving messages on the OSD. Hikvision came out with a firmware update to fix the issue. All that was needed to take the message off was go into the OSD menu and delete the...

    Extending Range of Lorex PoE Camera

    From my testing, technically it is able to send a network signal at that range. The issue is the power side. It is not able to send POE power to that distance. So with the PTZ's drawing more power, that is probably the problem at that distance.

    Replacement for LTS LTD8308T-FT

    You can go with a LTD8308M-ETC. That is the model number that supersedes the model that you currently have. Will support analog cameras up to 2MP native resolution but will do up to 5MP Lite. An upgrade would be the LTD8508M-ST. This model will support up to 8MP so that helps to futureproof...

    HikVision DS-7616NI-K2 POE to 2nd POE switch support

    You can plug an external POE switch to the built in POE switch of the NVR but only one camera will plug and play. The other cameras on the switch will need to be manually added to the recorder. But do know that the built in POE ports on the recorder are 10/100 so there will be a bandwidth...

    Extending Range of Lorex PoE Camera

    There are POE switches that have extend mode. For example the Hikvision ones have a switch to turn it on and it will go up to 820 feet depending on the quality of the networking cable and terminations. I believe the Dahua ones will be able to go even farther. Do note that the bandwidth is...

    Hik DS-7608NI-E2/8p-4T

    The Hikvision E-Series NVR does support audio. After installing the camera, just go into the settings and make sure it is set to "Video and Audio". By default it is set to "Video". If you want to have audio in the playback then under the recording schedule, there is an "advanced" button on...

    Add 4G Camera to NVR

    There are two ways to do this. 1. The cell carrier can assign an IP address to the sim card. This is usually an added cost. Then you would just put in the IP address, port number, user name and password when adding to the NVR. 2. Make sure camera and NVR are the same manufacturer and is...
