Firmware update has brought the camera back online. enabled virtual host too which is now a feature so going to check the cameras own page and see what’s set to what. is there anything I should look for with the backwards compatibility with a newer cam and older NVR?

Not sure if it matters, but the firmware on our NVR is V3.94.92. Build 170518 full NVR model is: ds-7616NI-E2/16p Is this the correct firmware if I need to do a update...

Got it up and working, but now I can’t connect to it with the NVR. Keep getting a parameter abnormal error on the camera setup screen. Tried with manual and plug and play. Even enable h.265 (for initial access) I can only think it’s not outputting in the right encoding. can I alter the IP...

I got the DS-2CD2347G2H-LIU - not sure what firmware is on them yet as havent got them put up yet. I did check the specs vs the NVR and they both do H264 encoding. Although the NVR doesnt support H265 from memory. I think we should be ok. NVR supports up to 6mp camera so the 4mp ones...

brand new hikvision out the box. I did have a quick read of the NVR manual (ds-7616ni-e2) and seemed to suggest the same. seems fairly straight forwards. Plug and play.

Also, if I need to set the IP of the camera, is this the POE port IP?

2 new cameras arrived today. regarding the activation, is there a special procedure? Or is it a case of plugging into the existing NVR and them working? Never had new ones so unsure on the process

Actually got chance to sit down at the computer and have a bit comparison between the different models they do. The DS-2CD2347G2H-LI(U) actually looks to be the best all rounder @ £104+vat. Its got a 1/1.8" sensor so gets good(green) at 4MP in the dark on the chart above, and it has the IR...

1/1.27” sensor would give good 2.1mp/1080p footage and average 3mp pixel footage in the dark? Which works out same as what we have currently with the cam mentioned above? does look like limited by the NVR only taking 6MP, so even a 8mp camera isn’t running at its best if you lowered the...

Thanks for the reply. Out the back of the garage is fairly well lit by 2 large floodlights so should be good. only other area isn’t lit, so I could move one of the older cameras out the back and replace the new one out the front street which is covered by street lighting. that’s the view we...

Hi all, New account as locked out my old one. we looking to add a couple of new cameras to our NVR at work to cover a few blind spots. we currently have a DS-7616NI-E2-16P with some DS-2CD2335-I and DS-2CD2332-I5 done and bullet cams. looking for a decent couple of cameras that will work at a...
