    Upgrade few on swann NVR

    No issue when you're using tftp. You can check Swann's website, they have the original firmware for the "NVR16-7200", though it is a fair bit older than what they ship with.

    Upgrade few on swann NVR

    Hmm.. interesting, I recall there are ways to check the underlying model if you telnet into the NVR, but v3.1.0 already has the protected shell which prevents you from running the necessary commands to check. What I would suggest (although tedious and requires you to know to get around a Linux...

    Upgrade few on swann NVR

    Well I think that, combined with all the issues you're facing is a pretty clear indicator that you don't have the 7600 series. Have you taken a look at pictures of the 7616? Because it looks nothing like the 7116.

    Upgrade few on swann NVR

    That doesn't sound normal.. I've also never had that issue with tftp. You shouldn't need to mess with Hiktools since your NVR should already be western region. You can verify by looking at the serial number and checking that it doesn't contain "CCCH". Are you sure your NVR is a DS-76xxNI-E...

    Upgrade few on swann NVR

    I've seen that problem quite a few times, tftp will fix it. I've attached a copy in case you're still having trouble finding one. Just extract it, put the firmware file in the same folder, change your computer ip to 192.0.0.64, and restart the NVR with the power switch. Takes maybe 3-5 minutes...

    Upgrade few on swann NVR

    Is there an order in which we should firmware update the NVR & Cameras? Should we update firmware cameras first or the NVR first? Do we have to update firmware on cameras or can we only update firmware on NVR? It doesn't really matter, I've done it both ways (camera first and NVR first) and...

    New Hikvision Firmware 3.4.0 Released! 7600NI-E1(E2) 05/11/2015

    I was actually excited to test this out and now I'm just frustrated, this is just my experience, so yours may differ. I have a 7608NI-E2, I initially upgraded through the web interface, but after activating it in iVMS-4200, I couldn't turn on DHCP or update the network settings. So I TFTPed...

    Did I exceed my wireless router?

    Not only is WEP extremely insecure, but it will limit your wireless throughput to a maximum of 54Mbps - even if your router is capable of more. The first thing I would try is changing the encryption to WPA2 and enable WMM (if it isn't enabled) and then see if you still have issues.

    Line Crossing Detection & Intrusion Detection

    See below. "Enable Highlight" will mark detected objects with green rectangles. "VCA Rule" will show/hide the intrusion and line crossings.

    Upgrade few on swann NVR

    I'm not sure if there is a surefire way to determine the OEM model number. The way I've done it is usually by matching visual appearance, specifications, and user interface. The most important thing is just determining if it is a Hikvision NVR. After you've confirmed that, you can always use...

    Network bandwidth terminalogy explain

    In my understanding: incoming means all the traffic from the IPCs home run into the NVR, outgoing means the traffic for remote viewing from pc or mobile app. Correct Remote viewing is supposed to see the substream only, why outgoing is 80, but incoming is 50. Remote viewing can be mainstream...

    FPS and bitrate

    What firmware are you using? On my 2CD2032s, the 5.3 firmware had noticeably more pulsating than 5.2.x firmwares.

    FPS and bitrate

    Yep, so 8192kbps at 10fps would be overkill in my opinion. BUT, if you're looking to really maximize image quality, there are definitely some small benefits to increasing the bitrate even further. I've played around with the bitrates myself and the "Best" bitrate isn't "Absolute Best"...

    Hikvision NVRs and Bitrate

    This might be easier to understand: http://www.dvs.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/downloads/Hikvision_NVR_Recommended_Bitrate.pdf It doesn't have 20fps or 4MP, but you can sort of guess based on whats available. At 3MP/20fps I currently use 7168kbps, but I could definitely use a bit more if I wasn't...
