    New IP cam on old NVR (HikVision)?

    Hi guys I did an earlier post (HikVision NVR DS-7608NI-SE/P with NEW HikVision 4 MP camera - will it work?) which I guess was too specific regarding NVR and cam - so I am rephrasing my question: Does anyone have any (good or bad) experience connecting a new IP cam to an old NVR? "New" as in...

    Hi! I have a HikVision NVR DS-7608NI-SE/P (firmware V3.0.10 build 141125) w. 5 Hikvision outdoor cams. I am considering adding a 6th camera; more specifically a Hikvision DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 2.8 - 12mm PTZ. I am aware that my NVR only supports H.264 (camera can encode w...

    Firmware upgrade DS-2DC2132-I to V5.2.0 build 140721 (from V5.1.0 build 140411)

    Hi guys, I have searched in vain for some info on doing (or NOT doing!) a firmware-upgrade of my 5 cams. I have the following: As you can see, all cams have firmware V5.1.0 - but different builds! What worries me is that on HikVisions portal, only V5.1.0 build 131202 is available - i.e...

    HikVision DS-7608NI-SE/P - Abnormal Shutdown?!

    Hi guys, I am still trying to figure out what's wrong with my NVR, as it frequently enters a coma. Anyway, I tried extracting information from the NVR log, searching for Major Type "Operation", and Minor Type "Local: Abnormal Shutdown". This is what I found (NVR was installed 15 November, with...

    How often does your HikVision NVR become "comatose"? What do you then do?

    Hi guys, Some months ago, I had a great ordeal with my new HikVision DS-7608NI-SE/P dying on me - and even a replacement unit also dying. Anyway, I received back a re-installed PCB from HikVision, which I then installed in my NVR and got back in business. Firmware is now V2.3.9 build 140820...

    HikVision 7608NI/SE died... and then replacement unit also dies!

    Hi there I got a HikVision 7608NI/SE, with 5 x HikVision DS-2CD2132-I 3MP cameras back in early May. 4 of the cams are connected directly to the NVR's 4 PoE ports; the 5th via a PoE port on a TP-Link TL-SF1008P. The NVR is connected to the LAN through the TP-Link switch (on non-PoE ports)...
