I've had no problem setting it up with a gmail account to send e-mail triggered event notifications to one receiver but trying to add a 2nd or 3rd recipient to also get the email doesn't seem to work. As you can see in the screenshot, only the first email listed under Receiver even gets a...

Thanks! That does work. Without WDR enabled the picture looks terrible though. I guess if I want the exposure less than 1/30, I'll have to mess with the other image settings to get as decent quality as I can and then just live with that. Hikvision documentation is absolutely terrible. I get...

Is it normal to get a UAC prompt in order to start iVMS? I'm using version 6.2.6 build20170719 but it's done this with all the version I've used. If there is a way to start it without admin access, that would be great. If there isn't, does anyone know why it requires those rights?

Thanks. I did some search on iframes and how to fix the pulsing/flicker. I did things like syncing up the fps and more but was only able to improve it slightly. Oh well, it's much less noticeable when the camera isn't on night mode pointing out a window so I'll live with it. I was just testing...

I haven't mounted the cameras permanently yet but it's most noticeable at night: It's less obvious during daylight when the camera isn't in night mode but it's still very noticeable. I've messed around with some image settings like adjusting WDR and turning it off completely with no...

Having a + symbol in an email address is a RFC standard (Email address - Wikipedia) but I can't get the Hikvision setup area to accept it when I try and input an email with a "+" in the Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > Email area: Is this just a bug/limitation of the firmware...

That's specific model number isn't listed in tinyCam and I'm wondering what the best alternative model to select for it would be? tinyCam has Hikvision DS-2CD2042-I that it supports and it seems to work fine with my initial testing but there is also another one with WD in the model number. It...

Unlike my DS-2CD2032-I cameras that can go to 1/3 in the Exposure Settings. The 2042 doesn't go any lower than 1/30. Is there some other setting I need to change before it can be set lower or does the 2042 just not support it? Settings screenshot from DS-2CD2042WD-I with firmware V5.5.0 build...

I think that is the one that I thought was an FTP site. It has that kind of look. Thanks! I'm going to bookmark it this time with all my other hikvision links.

It seems like Hikvision software and firmware is spread out all over the place with more recent versions available on some sites but not others. For example, at Hikvision USA iVMS-4200 has 2.6.1.2 as the most recent version but if I go to Hikvision Europe there is an even newer version...

I can play those MP4 files with MPC-HC but they are just chunks of hours of video without the search option to go to a specific time of day where you can see motion was captured like you can do in the Hikvision web interface and Android App. The PIC files must be full of a whole bunch of JPG's...

I'm not using a NVR, just the software included on the camera to record motion and snapshots to a SMB share. Right now I need the camera itself to access those recordings and pictures in any kind of organized way because they are just a mess of directories and 256mb files on the harddrive...

I'm using a Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I camera. I've searched and found a few topics briefly discussing the Capture Mode setting but none of them provide any real clarity of what the purpose of this setting is. I don't get how it's different from the resolution and frame rate that you can set under...

Sorry. I forgot and skipped over the image quality part. The emails I get have 3 pictures and they are all at the full resolution I'm running my cameras at (1920x1080). I seem to remember them always being that way but I may have setup the storage to my SMB shares before I set the email...

I'm not using a NVR, just the interface on the camera with storage mounted to an SMB share but I'm pretty sure it will still email you pictures without adding a storage option via SMB/NAS. On the web interface I go to Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > Email and set it up to use on...
