    DS-7608NI-E2/8P vs HiWatch IP NVR-208M-A/8P

    I was advised by a distributor that HiWatch has different firmware and the only way it will work with Hikvision cameras is through ONVIF. I would purchase Hikvision branded 7608NI-E2 over the HiWatch product range as it sounds like your limited to HiWatch only branded hardware. Going of what...

    Using VPN to access cameras behind carrier grade NAT (3G/4G)

    Simpler is better. You could also run a small eeepc or something with teamviewer for maintenance and run the cloud service for remote viewing. They really charge for those plans. Aus isnt much better you couldnt get 50gb here if you wanted to. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Using VPN to access cameras behind carrier grade NAT (3G/4G)

    I have used the hik cloud service in these scenarios before and it works well since the update. (In Australia) I have also used 4G with a public ip address before that or where possible with Telstra but it didnt cost anything extra. (Just needed a business account) I always wanted to try the...

    Multiple routers with UPNP in a LAN

    Why are there multiple routers? Explain more about the topology? UPNP should really be disabled its a security risk and can open unnecessary ports. Specially if you have the cameras directly on the network. Also if you wanted to be safe you should probably use a vpn. (So i dont get shunned by...

    Firmware Update

    Hi Scott, I think you can use TFTP to reflash the device after a failed update. Search that in these forums and you should get some answers.

    Hikvision cloudp2p

    I think the only way to view the cameras from a pc using hik p2p is using the website. As far as I am aware you can't access any of the nvr config using p2p.

    WDR settings not applied during scheduled Day/Night switch

    I have been advised by a Hikvision OEM provider that Auto WDR will be implemented in the next baseline firmware for R6 models. Not sure how true that is but we shall see. The Chinese 4mp turrets seem to have better wdr imo.

    Hikvision NVR Live View and Playback Failed with Safari Workaround

    Hikvision Firmware Upgrade

    Auto WDR is not a feature that is available on Hik firmware that is online. (Baseline firmware) Hikvision branded in Australia has Auto WDR in the firmware but its custom made. Not sure about the official Hik branded hardware in other countries. I can confirm Hikvision chinese model 2345 has...

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    Hi Karey, I found these settings on the camera to be most effective. smoothing 100%, iframe to 25, fps 20 or 15 and maximum bitrate to 4096. Lowering the Video Quality also helps if these settings give a jumpy feed. If you update to the latest firmware on the cameras you can use H264+ and set...

    Looking for a Nvr

    Any model can come with Poe ports. Myself as an installer and I have seen others report that the 7608 E2 has issues with live viewing the main stream. The safe bet is I2.

    DS-7104N-SN / DS-7108N-SN; any good?

    Not sure how they limit that just when i have plugged a 4MP camera in its just come up blank and can't read it unless I manually set it to 1080P. You can have live view of the substream in 2x2 mode via HDMI yes. If you click on a camera to full screen or try and playback recorded footage it...

    Security Camera Software ?

    I am not sure of that one but with one cam I can't see it being too resource hungry especially with direct to disk. Run the pc in power saver mode. I'd say that's really up to the make and model of the laptop. Reducing CPU usage will certainly help.

    DS-7104N-SN / DS-7108N-SN; any good?

    The 7104 and 7108 can record 3MP cameras (2332 or 2335) no problem at full 20 or 25FPS. It will not work with the 4MP (2342 or 2345) cameras in full resolution. It cannot playback 3MP footage from the unit itself using the built in HDMI/VGA output it will display no resources. You will need to...

    Looking for a Nvr

    I would agree with the choice of the 7608NI-I2 over the E2 model.

    Security Camera Software ?

    Blue Iris is good. Cheap. Make sure you use direct to disk and don't re-encode and it will save you heaps of CPU. Otherwise you can try the iVMS-4200 from Hikvision that's free. Haven't used it myself for recording just configuration purposes.

    day/night switch

    It would be cool if you could get the cameras to download dawn and dusk time to change over on schedule. I use to do it with Blue Iris and the 3MP cams.
