Brilliant!! That worked. Many many thanks...!! Back to reconfiguring the NVR after the factory reset now!

Forgot to mention that after the upgrade, SADP saw the NVR just fine and even listed the new firmware version

Greetings everyone, My system is: Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2/8P Original firmware: V3.3.6 build 151229 Purchased from China but sold as the full European upgradable version. I updated with the following file from Hikvision's european site: Home » portal » Product Firmware » Back-ends » Recorder...

Pfew! Many thanks. This alarm was getting really annoying! These settings were not available using the NVR menu directly nor through the NVR web interface. I ended hooking up my laptop to one of the NVR ports and assigning a manual IP on the same subnet as the camera. Then I logged directly into...

Thanks for your quick reply! My NVR is on firmware 3.3.1 b150422 I have tried to locate the 'Virtual Host' setting but no success. I though I read that the latest firmwares tended to remove features, so I haven't updated the NVR yet. Is the virtual host a 3.3.5 firmware setting? I will...

Greetings I am starting to set up my new install: Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2/8P NVR with a couple of DS-2CD2432F-IW cameras. So I started with connecting one camera to test the setup. All seems to work fine except that the camera triggers an alarm sound (on the camera itself) as soon as motion is...

I also took the plunge earlier this week and ordered several cameras from Joanna. She has been very responsive in all communications. Initially there was supposed to be a processing time of 20 days but two days later she notified me that she had received the cameras and that the shipment was...

Yes I do agree and that guarantee is reassuring, but I am more worried that I need to place the order at full price (which is then what I am "contractually" committed to) rather than receiving a coupon that would allow me to place the order at the right total right away. Just curious if that is...

I have the same question. They also redirected to a different site with zero feedback. I also negotiated a lower price on my order. They emailed me a separate invoice with a lower price but say they can't give me coupon for the store. So I am supposed to place the order at full price and they...

Has anyone ordered from CCTV Camera Wholesale (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1187561)? Joanna has been very helpful but the store she redirected me to to make the purchases has zero reviews (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1912076) while being online for 1 year. I am about to place a bigger...

Many thanks for the info (and sorry for the delay in responding). The 2142FWD looks good. I'll try to find the wired version if I can find it on AliExpress. Cheers

Greetings :) So about 2 months ago I ordered the following Hikvisions from AliExpress: 2x DS-2CD2132F-IS cameras (English firmware 5.2.5) 1x NVR DS-7616NI-E2/8P (Original english International version) Now I wanted to order more cameras, but checking Ali and the forum I found out that many...

Hi again... Thanks that worked great indeed. Reset the cameras to default (incl. passwords) and plugged them into NVR and it magically worked! And the idea of only plugging the NVR into the router for alerts/remote access is a good one. Will have to test that out. Many thanks for your help...

Thanks for your reply :) I ordered the NVR 2 months after the cameras, so I initially tried them out over the computer. So if I want a setup that is not at all connected to my computer network and just have the cameras+NVR in their own little circuit, I presumably have to activate DHCP in the...

Greetings all I am trying to get my new rig (1x NVR DS-7616NI-E2/8P and 2x DS-2CD2132F-IS cameras) up and running but I am encountering some issues with my NVR recognizing my cameras. I'm pretty sure I am making some dumb mistake in the network configuration somewhere, but I can't figure it...
