    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P setup frustration

    yes I actually set them up but as DHCP for use with my PC and the iVMS 4200 client software. I did not mess with the port setting and thought that when I plugged them in they would get a new IP but they did not until I reset each camera. They seem to work fine now but I would like to know if...

    Issues with new Hikvision setup

    Ok finally after hours success! I restored and defaulted all cameras and the NVR and they finally came up. There must have been some conflicting setting in the cameras prohibiting them from connecting.

    Issues with new Hikvision setup

    even though the NVR is set to 192.168.1.XX this is what automatically is populated in the camera setting in the NVR menu

    Issues with new Hikvision setup

    hmmm, I did try that but didnt have any luck. Will it matter if I had pre configured each camera to DHCP prior to trying them with the NVR? They did work just fine with my PC. I even tried to change the ip address in the nvr to what the cameras were but no luck there either.

    Issues with new Hikvision setup

    well ended up getting the DS-7608NI-SE2/8P from Nellys and I am not having any luck with it seeing my cameras. I have searched hi and low for how the cameras should be configured for the NVR but I cant find anything definitive.

    Newby here... new set-up - tips/advice most welcome!!!

    I just took delivery of my DS-7608NI-E2/8P and damned if I can get it to see my 3 DS-2CD2332-I cameras. I have been messing with it all night and I cannot get the NVR to see the cameras no matter what I do. They do work on their own via my network.

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P setup frustration

    I have just started setting up the DS-7608NI-E2/8P NVR and have two DS-2CD2332-I cameras connected to it. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the NVR to see the cameras. I have the cameras setup and was previous to the NVR looking at them through the iVMS 4200 client software. I...

    Issues with new Hikvision setup

    Thank you Fenderman. I looked at that NVR you linked to. I did not see that on Hikvisions web site and cant find it if I search for it. On Nellys site it does say that you can use it with up to 2MP camera. I would assume I would have to go with a different more expensive model to handle 3MP or...

    Issues with new Hikvision setup

    Thank, I actually just found a couple of threads on this forum that speak to the limitation in hard drive space required to record. I think I may just go the NVR route so I can get the system up and working. Is there a popular NVR that is suggested here or can one be made from an old computer? I...
