    Non Working "Intrusion Detection"

    I'm seeing more posts about intrusion detection not working on 2XX7 G2 cameras. Not a lot, but across both forums there are now several posts. I've posted about my own problems with that camera version.

    Hikvision cameras rebooting frequently - Data Overtime -- No stream for 20s

    Can't answer your question, but I've had nothing but problems since swapping out a pair of 2347G2's for a pair of 2387G2's. The 2387's will not, no matter what, trigger for intrusion detection. Line crossing works fine. Then the settings on the 2387's will randomly vanish - intrusion/line...

    HIKVISION Support...

    I've bought from B&H for years. Fast, 2 day shipping and good packaging.

    Confused as heck about Hikvision event detection

    You have to fiddle with the min box. If it's too large you won't pick up people. Of course if it's too small you'll pick up lots of unwanted stuff. I usually run my Hik cameras with an intrusion percentage of 60-70% and they do just fine.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2H - ok at night or better with larger sensor?

    I have three 2387G2-LU's that are fantastic at night with very little light. That said, way too many firmware bugs so I'd not recommend them. In fact I'm about this close to ripping them down and putting my old 2347G1's back up there. They worked perfectly for 5 or 6 years without a single...

    Glitch numbers on VCA rules

    I had the same problem some time back. Found the answer in this thread. Read the whole thing, as well as the second thread that is linked in there. https://www.use-ip.co.uk/forum/threads/letters-and-numbers-above-peoples-heads-in-live-view.10221/#post-54043

    What Smart Events would best suit this scene and areas of interest?

    That tree is probably killing your line crossing detection. Remove it, play around with the settings (min/max, sensitivity, etc) and you'll be happy with it. Also curious why you haven't tried intrusion detection? Much more reliable than motion in my experience.

    Need a perfect solution for Hikvision NVR windows application.

    The upper right of the web page will always show that "download plugin" button. Ignore it. Silly question, but are you hitting the "play" button at the bottom center? You won't get video unless you push that. Up until several years ago the video would automatically start, but now you have to hit...

    US Hikvision camera source?

    Got my whole system from B&H. Real happy with their service.

    Hik Vision DVR PC Viewer Problem

    Yeah, sometime back the browser viewing changed from automatic live feed of the cameras, to needing to hit the "play" button. Threw me for a bit until I poked around mashing buttons. Glad you figured it out.

    Get instant notifications with motion?

    Go directly to Hik's website and download the HikConnect app. Set it up, then make sure in the NVR you have the proper notification type ticked in the box - I believe it's called "notification center" or something like that. You'll get push notifications of events and can even live view the...

    Cannot see Hikvision cam image when trying to configure events or motion

    On Edge in IE mode, I have to hit the play button in live view before video starts - and before I can set any detection parameters.

    Replacing the set screw/tab on Hikvision Turret

    I don't offhand but they are terrible. Take the base into an Ace Hardware and start trying out small machine screws.

    Holiday Settings

    It's actually pretty useful for when you travel. If you have one or more cameras that are for 24/7 recording only - not meant for triggered events - you can set up a "holiday schedule" to enable triggered events and alerts while you are away and you will be notified. For example, one of my...

    Intrusion Detection not Working

    Are you having problems with the handle moving without the door opening? You asked for help, I answered. You need your detection box bigger, then test it. If that moves the ball forward but you need more, tweak the threshold. Or not.
