    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Int It's a bit of a mystery why it's behaving differently as opposed to just doing a fairly quick restart as it did to begin with. Does the web GUI work and look normal? How close to actually working does it seem to be?

    High CPU without cams

    What does windows task manager show for the offending high CPU processes?

    Offline Camera

    That is correct, the NVR has administrative control of the cameras via the Hikvision command&control protocol and the admin userID/password. When the camera is 'activated', such as when a new Inactive camera is first connected, the camera IP address is assigned by the NVR to match the IP address...

    Hikvision cameras keep detecting the dog

    It is quite complicated as it involves disassembling the code of the control program, working out what it's doing (many thousands of lines of code) and finding the part that sets the way of working. Working up a patch to change that. But a hard part is being able to unpack and decrypt the...

    Hikvision cameras keep detecting the dog

    Haha! Yes, I've done that, just for fun, on some of the value series cameras. It's the same firmware, that just behaves with different capabilities depending on the model data from the bootpara data that's written in to the camera at manufacture. Same hardware as the more expensive models...

    Hikvision cameras keep detecting the dog

    It looks to me like these are 'dumbed down' cameras with no smart event capability. That significantly reduces the ability to fine tune the event generation to avoid getting those that you do not want. Motion detection is the most basic of event types and is quite limited.

    I have a problem with Hikvision

    Do you mean reading the flash gives consistently the same results? And this didn't fix it? Which is why I said 'not being written correctly' as opposed to faulty flash.

    Intermittent data feed from IP Cameras

    What wiring standard did you use when crimping the connectors on? (eg T568B) Do you mean that the link detect light on the switch is absent on the problem cameras? What is the result of pinging the assigned IP addresses of the cameras?

    Motion detection

    On the assumption that they are connected to the NVR using the ONVIF protocol, it depends on whether the cameras issue ONVIF motion event notifications. You can check if motion event notifications are issued using ONVIF Device Manager https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/ ODM will find...

    Hikvision POE cameras

    No, the firmware you linked to is for the I-series NVRs. E-series firmware is here : https://www.hikvisioneurope.com/eu/portal/?dir=portal/Technical%20Materials/02%20%20NVR/00%20%20Product%20Firmware/07%20E-series/%5B7600NI-E1%28E2%29%207700NI-E4%5D

    Hikvision POE cameras

    That's quite an old model NVR. What model and firmware version are the cameras you ended up buying? There may be some compatibility issues if there is a big gap in the device ages.

    Hikvision POE cameras

    If the cameras are 'inactive' and the NVR PoE port is set to Plug&Play all that's needed is to connect the camera to the NVR PoE port. The NVR will activate the camera, set the password as configured in the NVR and set the camera IP address automatically.

    Playback stops loading at 89-90%

    You should be able to play back recordings right up to the minute - there is no 24 hour buffer.

    Playback stops loading at 89-90%

    Make / model of NVR and cameras? Do you get the same issue if you access playback via the VGA/HDMI interface?

    DS-2CD1121G0 Problem

    Is h.265 enabled on the camera? The E-series NVRs don't support that codec.

    Is there a way to tell which of the motion detection areas has triggered?

    Are you recording to a Hikvision NVR? In the web GUI, under System, tick the box 'Enable rules' and all triggered events will show on the video.

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    As it doesn't look like the firmware update has also cleared the configuration, it may be worth checking (this varies from model and manufacture date) is if there is a command still in the bootloader to erase the config. Sometimes something like erasecfg Interrrupt the bootloader, then use 'b'...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Yes, the same error triggering the reboot. My guess is it's a hardware fault, unfortunately.
