Hi guys I did an earlier post (HikVision NVR DS-7608NI-SE/P with NEW HikVision 4 MP camera - will it work?) which I guess was too specific regarding NVR and cam - so I am rephrasing my question: Does anyone have any (good or bad) experience connecting a new IP cam to an old NVR? "New" as in...

Hi! I have a HikVision NVR DS-7608NI-SE/P (firmware V3.0.10 build 141125) w. 5 Hikvision outdoor cams. I am considering adding a 6th camera; more specifically a Hikvision DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 2.8 - 12mm PTZ. I am aware that my NVR only supports H.264 (camera can encode w...

I was through all the (probably well-meant) recommendations from my supplier - changing HDD (from a WDC Purple drive to a Seagate SV35); playing with number of cams; playing with resolution and Motion Detection sensitivity (even though I was well below the limit for "incoming bandwidth" (max. 40...

Hi there Sorry if this (i.e., using different cameras/NVR via ONVIF) has already been covered somewhere else - please post a link if you have it! :) Anyway, my question is simple: I have a Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-SE/P (firmware V3.0.10 build 141125) w. 5 Hikvision outdoor cams - but would like...

Hi! Some comments: - Are you absolutely sure the DS-7608NI-SE/P is with 8 (eight) PoE-ports?? I believe it should then be called DS-7608NI-SE/8P! I bought one under the clear impression that it would indeed have 8 PoE ports (I have 5 cams - HikVision DS-2CD2132-I) - but it turned out only to...

Hi guys, I have searched in vain for some info on doing (or NOT doing!) a firmware-upgrade of my 5 cams. I have the following: As you can see, all cams have firmware V5.1.0 - but different builds! What worries me is that on HikVisions portal, only V5.1.0 build 131202 is available - i.e...

Neat! I would however recommend this: http://www.swissinno.com/en/rodents/rat/rat-trap-supercat/description.html - that is, if it is available at your location. VERY efficient at doing what it's supposed to do! :D PS! Remember to tie your trap to something - I have (or had!) 2 traps in the...

Just did a bandwidth calculation using http://www.jvsg.com/ip-camera-calculator/ - and my 5 cams should "only" be able to provide a total of ~37 Mbit/s running full 3 Mp; 24 fps; H.264-10 compression (high quality). The NVR should be able to handle 40 Mbit/s "incoming"...?!?! :notrust:

Super-cool - thanks! :cool: I'm just a little surprised about your apparent low-single-digit percentage CPU load? :wondering: What do you have on the NVR (no. of cams; resolution; frame rate)?? As mentioned above, I run at ~60% CPU load with my 5 x 3 Mp cams...

Thanks - I'll fit in the dummys category in the telnet-regard, I think.. :D

Hmm... what resolution & frame rate are you running the 8 cams with?

Does it "only" reboot - or does it actually go into a coma (i.e., becomes non-contactable)? Have you tried looking in the Log to see what it has reported (think you would need to search for "Major Type: Operation" around the time of the problem)? What is your setup (i.e., how many cams at what...

The HDD (WD Purple 10PURX) is the successor to a 2011 WD drive approved by HikVision - so don't believe this is an issue (even though the distributor is also pushing for me to replace the HDD - would hate to shell out another $100,- for a new drive, though :(). I have now lowered the res for 3...

Thanks for the suggestions - my comments: * Got 5 3 Mp cams (DS-2CD2132-I) connected - should be "within operating limits"?? * The HDD is a brand-new 1 Tb purple ("24/7") WDC drive - so should(!) not be an issue. I might try to switch it just to see what happens.. * Telnet - hmm... that will...

Hi guys, I am still trying to figure out what's wrong with my NVR, as it frequently enters a coma. Anyway, I tried extracting information from the NVR log, searching for Major Type "Operation", and Minor Type "Local: Abnormal Shutdown". This is what I found (NVR was installed 15 November, with...
