    SSH to Hikvision NVR - can I export/copy video files?

    Is there anyway to get video files off an NVR via SSH? Or have I got to use a GUI? Maybe I could save the files to a NAS and access from there? Ta

    Hikvision NVR backup strategy

    Hi everyone, I would like to sort out remote offsite backup for my video. I use BackBlaze a lot for other projects and I love it - especially their B2 offering. Has anyone already thought about doing backup from NVR to B2? If so, thoughts and experiences? If not, then any ideas for a...

    Recommendation for Hikvision camera to read number plate at night

    Thanks again Mike. Out of interest what are your other settings? Do you turn off IR? Bright reductions? Could you share the other settings? Ta

    Recommendation for Hikvision camera to read number plate at night

    Thanks Mike. I wondered about that. Doesn't it need a faster frame rate? My understanding is that was the main factor? Not sure why they are so much more expensive!! What about the settings then for night-time license plates?

    Recommendation for Hikvision camera to read number plate at night

    Hi Guys, I know there is the Hikvision DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZS/P with its ANPR but it's over my budget. I don't need any software to read or recognise the number plate, but I would like to be able to read it myself if possible. Is there a recommended camera and/or configuration to specialise in being...

    How to get Smart Search working?

    ah haaaahhh! That seems to have done it. I configured it all from the NVR (already had it on the camera) and then I enabled the swizzler bottom left and I do now seem some events! Thanks so much for your help and persevering with me. Now I can play with motion detection versus the line...

    How to get Smart Search working?

    Has anyone got a methodical way to test this? eg; Starting with the camera to check it is detecting, then check the camera is sending and finally moving to the NVR to check it is receiving?

    How to get Smart Search working?

    Alastair, thanks for the help but I am still stuck *before* that part. I just never seen any 'events' showing on my NVR. My screen looks exactly like yours *EXCEPT* I don't see any motion detection events. I did see it once when I was set to record only on motion detection but I changed to...

    How to get Smart Search working?

    Thanks for the reply. I have done all of that but still not events being shown on the NVR :-( Has anyone got this working? Care to share how? Reminder: - Continuous recording with events (motion detection) marked so that Smart Search can be used

    How to get Smart Search working?

    I love these cameras but from everything I can read this is one of the most confusing parts of the whole Hikvision story! I have a DS-7608NI-K2/8P working with FOUR DS-2CD2155FWD-I. Continuous recording on all cameras. Everything good. Play back works just fine. I then configured motion...

    Advice for beginner's new setup

    I have installed 4 x DS-2CD2155FWD-I, along with a NVR DS-7608NI-K2/8P (was using QNAP for NVR but it was rubbish - far too slow). Everything is up and working just fine. Full time recording at the moment, to the NVR only. The purpose is general deterrent/monitoring around house and garden. My...
