Ive also tried the SADP tool which i downloaded from the Hikvision website, but it seems to only detect my one Hikvision camera, the other 4 cameras that I have are non branded Onvif cameras.

My Hikvision NVR (DS 7608) plug and play, changed my Onvif cameras all to 192.168.254.2xx when plugging them into the PoE ports. I can see the cams using Onvif manager after changing my laptop network IP to 192.168.254.200 and plugging the laptop network cable into a spare PoE port. However, I...

hmm, still not sure if my NVR allowes this, when i go to a web browser and input the NVR ip address which is 192.168.1.5 I get greeted with the NVR log in screen and after logging in, all the settings that the NVR has to offer, but none of which allows me to gain direct access to the camera...

I can't seem to find a "pass through to camera" option in the menu can you please advise what first menu option its located in? my NVR is a Hikvision DS-7608

Do you mean on the camera or the NVR? I did adjust the substream on the camera to its highest which is still under standard definition quality, and the picture is still very poor. I can't find anywhere to adjust the substream on the NVR though.

Funny in my case i picked up the box where the camera came in and noticed that it had the password printed on it. So thats one problem out of my way, but now i'm faced with yet another or compressed poor picture quality in live view split screen mode, so i started a new thread about that.

I have since discovered that the poor compressed picture is only present when viewd as a split screen, if the same camera is viewd at full screen, the image is superb, but I need the image as split screen, with it being the larger image with 4 smaller immages. The other cheap cameras don't...

Hi guys, ive just installed this new camera which is 3MP onto the PoE ports of my DS-7608 NVR The recorded images are superb, sharp and clear, but the live view looks very compressed and an extreme lack of detail. I don't have this issue with live view of my cheap Onvif cameras, they are clear...

great, I got it working. the password was 123456789abc but it tells me it's weak, but I can't find the place where you can update and choose your own password. thanks

Hi, is there a UK phone help line for Hikvision? I need to speak to a person regarding talking me through how to get one of their ip cameras to work. I just bought a brand new sealed Hikvision camera, and connected it to my POE port but my Hikvision nvr did not connect with it by using via plug...

I was just wondering if the seperate network port can be used to record cameras on the network via a switch, or does this unit only support recording and monitoring via the 8 PoE ports?

because i plugged the cheap ebay cameras directly into the PoE ports straight away, without first plugging them into my network, could it have been the NVR that changed their IP address to 192.168.254.2** ? because I read that the cameras come from the factory with a preset IP of 192.168.1.100...

What are the logon credentials? is it the same as the camera in question, which is default as admin and password left blank? its not for my Hikvision camera, but i need to configure my cheap ebay Onvif cameras which have the aforementioned logon credentials.

Hi again, sorry to be a pain, but i'm still hoping you can help with a problem of accessing my cameras inorder to access camera settings within the cameras. I can view the cameras perfectly on the PoE ports as explained. I have done what @alasterstevenson instructed me to do by detecting the...

the camera is for a shop and i need to look back at what was said if i get a problem customer, so i need sound as proof to what was said, not to spy.
