    Will Google abandoning APKs on Android affect Hikvision?

    Since we can no longer download and install Hikvision app from the store for a while now and have to get it directly from Hikvision app store, I'm wondering if Google announcement to ditch APKs, will affect our ability to install and update hikvision connect app once Google makes this change...

    Wireless mouse recommendation

    I think it's just interference at the USB port, there's not a lot of space back there so signal probably also being blocked by the NVR itself. Im going to try the USB extender as suggested and place it further away from the NVR. The mouse itself works fine when connected to my desktop computer...

    Wireless mouse recommendation

    I tried to plug a Logitech unifying receiver into the back of my hikvision NVR however from only 5ft away the performance of the mouse (logitech m705) terrible. Stuttering and loss of signal and I had to revert back to the wired mouse that came with the NVR. So my question is does any one here...

    Dust specs on lens?

    Thanks guys. I never considered reflection, I suppose it's the same that happens with regular camera lenses in presense of bright light like the sun. I'll try reorientung the camera slightly to see if i can minimize it. Otherwise now that I know what it is, it's not too worrisome. Sent from...

    h.265+ vs h.265 vs. h.264

    Ok thank you, but if I don't use Blue Iris (assuming that's what you meant by BI) then I should be fine with h.265+? Sent from my G8142 using Tapatalk

    Dust specs on lens?

    I have this kit HX-EKIQ41T44 And on one of the cameras located at front porch I notice these three specs in the image whenever the porch light comes on. Is there any way to clean this if they are inside the front lens covering? I cleaned the outside surface thoroughly and they still remain...

    h.265+ vs h.265 vs. h.264

    Hello, I was wondering which setting is recommended to use.. I have an option in the menu that says 'enable h.265+',but I'm not sure if I should enable it. I read that the h.265+ is supposed to save the most bandwidth and storage. And h.264 uses the most. With h.265 somewhere in between. I...

    Using Hik-Connect mobile app crashes router

    I have a Bell Home Hub 2000 and connected to it via ethernet cable is the NVR from the EKI-Q41T44 4-Channel Value Express Kit. The issue is sometimes when I open the Hik-Connect app on my mobile phone, and tap to view the live view of the security cameras, the entire home network goes down and...

    Do UPS offer any other benefit aside from keeping cameras and NVR running?

    Thanks, I calculated approximately 85 Watts for my 4 camera HikVision kit. The cameras are all powered by the NVR. I have an APC BR700G UPS on my desktop and honestly I think its too much since I'm ok with a controlled shutdown, and not really running anything that needs continuous uptime - i...

    Do UPS offer any other benefit aside from keeping cameras and NVR running?

    From what I've read HikVision doesn't even support controlled shutdown of the NVR when it switched to UPS power and the UPS runs out of power. If it doesn't then whats the point if the power outage lasts longer than the runtime of the UPS? In any case I'll probably just get one for surge...

    Do UPS offer any other benefit aside from keeping cameras and NVR running?

    I occasionally get brownouts but nothing severe. So I was wondering if I even need a UPS. Aside from keeping the cameras running and the NVR recording when the power is out, does the UPS offer any other benefit? I mean does pulling the power on the NVR abruptly as in a power failure, cause...

    What focal length camera to place on this side of house?

    I was going to buy this kit I7604N1TP that has the 4 turret cameras each 4MP and 2.8mm focal length. (DS-2CD2342WD-I) So I think the 2.8mm would be ok for most areas like close to door entrances, but there is an area on the side of the house which I'm not sure if the 2.8mm would be ok It is...

    Can I record full resolution on every channel? (DS-7604NI-E1/4P)

    Ok that makes sense. Yes I looked through the wiki, although I can't find any reference to that bit of info your provided. So as a compromise would you set high res on all cameras, but use high fps only in areas with faster moving objects like cars, and use lower fps on areas with only slower...

    Can I record full resolution on every channel? (DS-7604NI-E1/4P)

    I don't understand. I assume all locations at which there is a camera are equally important, if something happened at any one of them and you needed to identify something wouldn't you want to be able to make use of the full camera resolution? It just seems kind of strange that an NVR wouldn't...

    Resolution of camera doesn't match any supported resolution of NVR - IP Kit I7604N1TP

    Confused about the fact the camera they pair the NVR with is a 4MP camera, but the NVR (DS-7604NI-EV1/4P NVR) says it has 5 MP/3 MP/1080p/UXGA/720p/VGA/4CIF/DCIF/2CIF/CIF/QCIF for both the video recording and live view. Furthermore the NVR looks like the same series as the (DS-7604NI-E1/4P)...
