This is one model higher than the one I use but this might be it... Log into the interface, right click, click Menu. In the bottom left you will see a small red power button. Press that and it will give you Shutdown/Restart options. Hope this helps.

Here's an update: I went to the premises, plugged in my laptop into a free port on the camera input. I set my IP so that I was on the same subnet as the cameras. I was able to hit the camera directly via webpage. I downloaded the plugin from the camera, and restarted Internet Explorer. I logged...

I'm in the US. I download everything from Hikvision's website, not the NVR. I also really never use the web client, I always use iVMS. I only used the web client for troubleshooting, but I'll look into it. See the above video of the video freezing in iVMS. The NVR is on firmware 3.4.3_160822

It happens with the web client, and iVMS. The problem is that it is freezing when trying to switch from sub stream to main stream. In multi camera view you are seeing sub streams, and when you double click to bring up single camera view, it should switch to the high res main stream, but it just...

Someone else mentioned the H.264+ setting as well in another thread. I'm sure if it's Hikvision's proprietary extension to H.264, and I used Plug and Play, then it's probably enabled. I will definitely check this out next week. To access the cameras directly, do I need to plug into one of the...

Honestly, I'm not sure, I'm not sure how to tell within the client software. If I have to log into the camera directly, then I'm going to have to wait until I go to the client's premises.

Hi Everyone, Apologies for so many posts but I am trying to hit my issue from different angles. I have installed the following system for a client: 6 Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Cameras and an DS-7608NI-E28P2T NVR. Everything works good, but I have issues with switching from a multi-camera view to...

I wouldn't mind trying to change the codec that the unit is using. I can't find the setting anywhere to change it, or to even find out which codec it's using (but I'm going to assume H.264). Any ideas? Can I change the codec in iVMS, or do I have to do it at the unit? I am also starting to...

OK, but, computer builds aside, I would like suggestions on standalone NVR's for a range of options. Thanks guys.

Bump for great justice.

Yes I haven't ruled out the possibility of getting an 8 port Gig POE switch and using Blue Iris. I should have mentioned this, thanks. I will suggest this, but I'm not sure how open to the idea my client is going to be about dedicating a PC to handle this and having it running 24/7.

I have a DS-7608NI-E2 2TB installed at one of my client's locations. Long story short, my client is not happy with this unit and wants me to replace it with something else. He uses live view a lot, and it tends to freeze a lot when going from multi camera view, to single view. You can see my...

I thought that was common practice anyways =) It's like, hey, if you wired everything to terminate in an area where you're gonna see and or hear the D/NVR, then you have to deal with the noise, eyesore, and it possibly getting pinched.

I'd figure that you'd hear more noise the clicking of the read/write heads than you would of the actual platters spinning. Isn't continuous recording going to wear out the circuitry of SSDs a bit faster than normal usage? I haven't kept up on SSDs too much, and I remember they have a limited...

All these cameras are outdoor cams. Unfortunately it happens day or night at random times, motion or no motion, no particular camera although one of them is much worse than the others. I have even tried setting all the frame rate, resolution, and bitrates to their lowest settings (which...
