    NVR only picking up low res sub stream

    Ok after some failed firmware upgrades on the cameras, the recent camera is not working using H.265. Perhaps it just needed a couple of reboots... Now to try the older one. Thanks for the help. Rob

    NVR only picking up low res sub stream

    I've got the Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P which explicitly supports H.265. Are you using non-Hik cameras?

    NVR only picking up low res sub stream

    I searched for h.265 ONVIF support and release notes claim it was included since 2.6.1 in Dec 2015. My recent Dahua is 16.12... Checked the release notes for the recently released HIK NVR firmware, states it supports H.265 new in that release but then the ONVIF protocol is only 2.5.0. Very old...

    PIR sensor to trigger NVR

    Really? I thought ethernet used all 4. At least gigabit which the cameras aren't but they are plugged into a gigabit switch. Interesting option but I guess it needs to bypass the switch? It's a nice to have but sounds too hard given my setup, going to put it in the too hard basket

    NVR only picking up low res sub stream

    One has an ONVIF Version of 2.42! Room for improvement there! The other 16.12 which is better but still not recent. Will look for firmware updates, thanks for the link

    NVR only picking up low res sub stream

    Ahhh. I did update the NVR firmware recently but no idea if it included H.265 but sure it wouldn't be included that quickly? Plus, wouldn't the cameras need to be updated as well?

    NVR only picking up low res sub stream

    Ok, I think I have it working at the full res but I'm not completely happy still. I dropped the codec back to H264H and had to turn SMART codec to on. I had tried H264 before but not whatever SMART codec is to on. Thing is, the PVR can do H265 and I'd prefer to use the more efficient codec but...

    NVR only picking up low res sub stream

    The ODM software logs in fine and gets a lot of the initial stats ok in the top pane, it actually shows a preview of the video. So there's some form of communication but not from the lower panel section in the ODM software. I saw in the Hik settings an option to enable/disable ONVIF but not in...

    NVR only picking up low res sub stream

    Thanks for recommending the software, very cool kit and fast! When I click on the Hik camera and select the Live video or Video streaming options, I get the video stream and all the details but for the two Dahua's I just get 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'. Mean...

    PIR sensor to trigger NVR

    Ok, I've got some of those but no idea how I'd get a cable run from where I'd put the PIR to the NVR! I pre planned ethernet cables for the cameras when I did a reno at the front but not for further cables... Can alarm signals be sent over the network? I've got cbus home automation which has a...

    NVR only picking up low res sub stream

    I have a Hikvision NVR (DS-7616NI-I2 / 16P) with 4 cams currently, 2 of them display their main streams at their max resolutions fine (one is a Hik and the other a non-name cheapy) but the two Dahua's only show their sub streams as options at lower res's. If I view them directly via their web...

    Auto tracking ptz ip camera and MINI PTZ IP Camera Update file

    My model name doesn't show up in the batch tool or in the IE configuration. Batch tool does state the Chip as Am_S2Lm. I bought this one https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/7989738777.html?orderId=77472280378516&productId=32583148851 So it looks like it's the right model but annoying the...
