We have a Hikvision System with NVR DS-96064NI-I16 with 57 channels (cameras) of assorted models. Are there any specifications as to how many users can be viewing cameras at one time and how many cameras each person can be viewing at the same time? Some people keep an eye on one camera, while...

This is a bit late but for anyone making some changes this is what I found to replace our failed DS-2CD2712F-I dome camera. I replaced it with a Hikvision DS-2CD2623G1-IZS 2MP Outdoor IR Bullet Camera, which has given us a much better picture and FOV.

@looney2ns, thanks for that link. I should have mentioned I need to record to a Hikvision DS-96064NI-I16 NVR. Will a Dahua camera work with Hikvision video recorders?

Our DS-2CD2712F-I dome camera died completely and I need to replace it. It needs to endure snow, rain and a constant southern exposure in Michigan and I know you don't recommend domes outside especially in that kind of environment. I included a couple of picture of what the old camera was...

I figured it out! Not thinking, I forgot that logging directing into my NVR might give me more options or features than using a browser or the iVMS client software. Logging directly into the NVR gave me the option of "Custom Adding" a camera. When I entered the IP address of the PanoVue camera...

We had this camera installed to cover a blind area between two buildings. Using the iVMS-4200 client I can only get 1 camera view, there are 4 cameras built into this unit. The camera is connected to a Hikvision POE switch which is connected to a Hikvision NVR on lan4, (vlan4). My iVMS-4200...

Have you given yourself access to Liveview on the NVR and the Client? If you added a camera and forgot to 'tick' access to live view could be the problem.

I haven't noticed the rainbow effect but it has a fairly large area with a uneven edge around it, like something has peeled off. You can feel a small edge if you run your finger nail across it also. I don't know if you be able to see it in the picture.

I have contacted Hikvision about the domes, they said they could help me out there. Waiting to see what that means! I did get some mild polish and I'm going to try buffing out 1 dome with my dremel like we do headlight lens, I'll let you know how that goes. The one dome I've been trying to...

this is the desktop iVMS-4200 client.

We had a Hikvision DS-2CD6D54FWD-IZHS installed but we're only getting one camera view in our iVMS-4200 software. If I connect direct to our Hikvision switch / NVR I can use a browser and connect direct via IP address and see all 4 camera views but how can I get all 4 or at least 2 of those...

Sebastiantombs, thanks, I do have a dial indicator (Harbor Freight special) for measuring. I understand the blowing wind, rain and snow. These domes, just simple rain or drizzle can make them impossible to view. Alastairstevenson, thanks for the link. I checked them out, they have quite the...

Thank you lewic and sebastiantombs for you comments and advise. We had another Co. install our security/camera system about 5 years ago, since I had never dealt with cameras before I had no idea what 'should' have been used outdoors. All of my outside cameras are dome cameras, argh! We are...

@lewic , Thank you for that information. I have a couple (so far) that seem to have a dull finish to them, kinda like some headlight lens get. Not sure if it's the same but curious if anyone else has experienced that. Also, has anyone tried replacing the 'dome' lens and does Hikvision have...
