    Hikvision DS-2CD2132F switched to monochrome

    Thanks Can't really send the camera back it was a cheapy on eBay from a private seller. It was however sealed and does appear to be a genuine UK model. I had some condensation in the dome and I suspect that may be the culprit. Where would I find the upgrade and is it English ? I'll have to...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132F switched to monochrome

    Well sure enough it was very dark! I've tried a reset but it just went back to a monochrome image. It would appear that the sensor for day/night isn't working ie. 'Auto'. I've started experimenting with a scheduled change to see how it goes. Thanks for all your help. P.S. Noted all the...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132F switched to monochrome

    Thanks Del Boy. I've logged into the camera and set the camera setting to day mode (it was in auto). Bingo ! I have a colour image again...THANKS ! Probably the only concern I have is what happens when it goes dark... will post later.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132F switched to monochrome

    Excuse my ignorance.. can I do that through the NVR ? If not then I have a power challenge as I will need a PoE injector.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132F switched to monochrome

    Thanks fenderman. I had rebooted the NVR but not power cycled that camera. Just power-cycled it and unfortunately it is still monochrome. Thanks for helping. Laurie

    Hikvision DS-2CD2132F switched to monochrome

    I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2132F which has been working fine for several months. It's one of four connecting to a DS-7616NI-E2/8P I noticed this morning that the live view was monochrome (black and white - no colour) Checking back on the Playback recording I find that at 17.25 yesterday evening...

    New cube will not add to Hikvision NVR

    Many thanks Alastair, I tried all your options and was getting very despondent as they didn't seem to work. I reset the camera again and tried the valid LAN IP option adding it manually with Hikvision model option and it worked! Great but I still wanted it PoE connection from the NVR. Reset...

    New cube will not add to Hikvision NVR

    My apologies for lack of clarity...the new camera is not visible from either the NVR or the Hikvision web app. Again when it has a valid IP for my network, it can be logged into directly when connected to my home LAN.

    New cube will not add to Hikvision NVR

    I would appreciate some help. I've been at this for several hours and don't seem to be making any progress. I have a Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2/8P NVR with four cameras attached. It is running on firmware V3.0.10 build 141126. Everything has been running fine for several months, and still is...

    DS-7616NI-E2 / 8P Latest firmware ?

    Thanks for your reply and links. I suspect that I'll resist the temptation for now. The improvements are not compelling, but I do appreciate it will include some fault fixing. My NVR is a genuine UK model so putting foreign firmware on to it seems a bit perverse. Thanks agai

    Saving Live View configuration on Hikvision DS-7616NI

    Newbie question...I've done a search but it doesn't seem to pull up the answer, apologies if I've missed it. When remotely accessing my DS-7616 for Live View, I have to click on each camera to activate the feed into the grid. Is there a way of saving the desired configuration and have the live...

    DS-7616NI-E2 / 8P Latest firmware ?

    I have just purchased a UK DS-7616NI . It has firmware V3.0.10 build 141126 loaded and is working well. Would it be possible to advise me whether this is the latest version and if not what advantage would be gained by updating? Thanks
