    EZViz cloud alternatives?

    Cloud Video Monitoring for Homes & Small Business | Camcloud I tried camcloud it didn't work well with slow DSL. I don't think you will find a good solution with slow internet however. I think the 7680NI-I2 has transcoded playback so you can playback with slow internet. That would be your...

    Free DDNS Account not worknig after 30 days, how to fix problem

    Hi, You should be able to use the inbuilt hikvision ddns in the cameras software. I'd recommend not using hik ddns if you have purchased a Chinese model camera as the hacked ones can be unreliable.

    Unable to set DHCP in SADP. Camera keeps disappearing

    I have that issue intermittently with SADP. Manually connecting like you have done is the only way to fix that. I find the issue occurs more when connecting over wifi or using a USB Ethernet dongle.

    DS-2CD3T45-I5 mini review

    1&2 I think it's just produced cheaper for the Chinese market. 3 I believe that they need to pay for H265 licensing or something so they don't ship English models with H265 from what I can gather. They can sell the H265 locally in China without paying for the technology.

    Dome camera losing signal on warm days

    Not tried re terminating the rj45 crimps? Expand and contract in the heat? I had an issue where some rj45 mechs would fail or intermittently work after a month due to not being crimped enough using cheap crimpers.

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

    Still having this issue at multiple sites. I have identified that if the camera is in an area that gets high traffic and/or is in a very bright area the issue occurs. Messing around with bit-rate and fps seems to fix the issue but no solid settings to say that this will certainly fix the...

    DS-7608NI-E2 Live View Issues

    Hi All, I am having issues with live viewing via web browser or the app using DS-2CD2T42WD-I5 or DS-2CD2342WD-I at multiple sites. The cameras that usually fault seem to be in high traffic areas out in front yards or driveways and never seem to have an issue in alfresco's or backyards. The...

    Firmware 5.4.x working with HikVision on bugs

    Hi, Does this issue happen when not using H264+? I have been having issues with the DS7608NI-E2 and the DS-2CD2342WD-I running the mentioned firmware as well as the DS-2CD2T42WD-I5 that has older V5.3.6 build 151229 not being able to load live view or being choppy. That is with and without...

    Hi Basti, You can install the iVMS-4200 windows application on your PC. Add the NVR as a device and use remote configuration to reboot the unit under the system maintenance heading.

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

    Glad you have a resolution. Unfortunately it didn't resolve the issue for me. Mine is so weird and I can only troubleshoot it from 10am - 4pm as it works after those times....

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

    I have been having the same issue's. Can you playback recorded footage? Does it work of a night time? Can you login to the cameras and does live view work on the camera web interface?

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2 Live View Issues

    Using Cat5e in A standard. (Have fit off 1000's of data cables in my time so i know its not that) I can also get live view smooth through the cameras web interface so to me that doesn't indicate a cabling issue. OK I'll try tomorrow during the day light with a long cable along the ground as...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2 Live View Issues

    You would think so. I am using A standard. If I swap the recorder to a 7616 or 7608NI-I2 it works with the existing cabling. Cameras are powered with PoE from the back of the recorder. I have also tried using a PoE switch with the same issues. It has me perplexed.

    firmware 5.4.0 for R6 anyone tried?

    Awesome thanks I really don't understand how to navigate the US site. See attached the older firmware enabled me to have WDR on Auto. I found with the DS-2CD2345-I if I had WDR on at night it would give me a blurry image and i couldn't get peoples faces at all. It has an auto switch so WDR...

    firmware 5.4.0 for R6 anyone tried?

    Hi All, Upgraded a DS-2CD2T42WD-I5 from the V5.3.8 build 160428 to V5.4.0 build 160401 and I would agree that image quality is considerably worse. (see attached) Secondly I noticed that WDR no longer has an Auto option? Anyone know what the deal with that is? Does it just automatically turn...

    Hikvision H265+ Queries

    Hi All, Noticed that Hikvision has H265+ now but they don't have an option in the Disk Calculator to calculate disk space usage, any ideas how to calculate this? Also does anyone think that H265 actually produces a better picture than H264? Apart from bandwidth is there any benefits? Thanks...

    Hikvision NVR 7604/7104 Telnet?

    Interesting. In responding to your previous post I realised I may have not put a gateway in for the camera (used plug and play add). I have now manually added the camera and set a gateway it seems to pass all traffic to the camera. Awesome! (relatively useless and less effective having to add...

    Hikvision NVR 7604/7104 Telnet?

    Yup cool I can do the LAN routing no problem. Can even ping 192.168.254.1 however it doesn't pass traffic. Guess there is no way to fix that without having telnet and enabling IP-Forward on the box. Thanks for your input!!

    Hikvision NVR 7604/7104 Telnet?

    FYI the playback timeline also supports line and intrusion detection on that firmware. (have to play with it more to see how good it is) I have the virtual host option on the 7604 and it works great. Looks more of a NAT/PAT translation rather than routing as its giving me the option to access...

    See screenshot of a 7604 you can view motion via the web interface now. Pitty it can't be done via the app. Maybe in a new update.
