I have an NVR system and was helping someone trying to add more IP cameras to it. I found the model number to be ED9632H5NV-16P. I did some research and found it was sold by Eastern CCTV before they merged with Savvytech to make ENS. My question is this machine a Dahua OEM? I now that it...

I did look at the Hikvision instructions pdf for ONVIF and I used the batch config to as told to add a ONVIF user since LTS doesn't have anything like that but that didn't work either. The auto scan hardware couldn't even locate the camera after adding the ONVIF user to that camera that way. I...

Has anyone managed to get a LTS camera working on a Milestone system? I have a 3342W-28M LTS camera that I want to hook up to a Milestone Xprotect Essential 2013 with the latest driver pack. I can scan the new hardware via milestone but I can't add them as it says the username and password are...

How is the playback via streaming on the NAS? Is it smooth or a bit laggy on it? I'm having some playback issues with it taking forever to load playback on 1 camera (takes minutes to pull up the timeline). I asked Hikvision about it and they suggested I assign cameras to particular hard drives...

I was wondering if anyone has setup NetHDD with Hikvision NVRs? I have a DS-9632NI-I8 and i'm running out of room and need more storage. I maxed out the slots with 10TB HDDs already and going with 12TB is quite expensive and I won't be gaining too much (another 16TB). I wanted to know if anyone...

No worries, any way to help. Just be careful that sometimes the QR code it generates screws up and won't import. I've done 50+ machines and it screwed one once and I had to regenerate it with fewer machines and do it in 2 batches (2 qr codes, 1/2 and 1/2).

Is no one having this issue? It worked fine on the older version a month ago and now it just keeps timing out on the session. This time it just died after 4 hours of streaming on the TV.

Does anyone know if anything got changed on the latest BI version? I updated twice in the last month or so and it seems like the web interface keeps timing out. I have my BI on a TV with a PC attached to cycle between the cameras 24/7. It was working fine until I did the last 2 updates and...

Yeah, I see the video. It's just normal concerns when you run a server in general.

When you guys set it up as ONVIF, is there any issues with motion detection on the Hikvision NVR? I know in the past, if you use ONVIF, the motion detection doesn't work at all or correctly?

Well, it's most likely a windows box, you need to do updates on it, make sure the VMS service/software is always running. There are much malware issues these days, you probably want to patch it asap and if the patch causes issues with VMS software, probably need to troubleshoot it or wait for...

For a system that big, yes but there is no one to manage it, so I prefer to use a NVR. I would want to use a VMS to manage it but that requires more man power, which the customer doesn't want to allocate or pay for, neither would I.

Yeah, I figured so. I talked to someone at LTS, which OEMs Hikvision stuff, and they've been using 8TBs with no issues. I think 8TB/10TB drives are fine with the machines. It's just if you use the RAID stuff, it might get slow when you repair it but I think it should be fine.

Has anyone tried or tested the WD Purple 8TB/10TB with any Hikvision NVRs? I'm trying to setup a new machine with 32 Channels (DS-9632NI-I8) but I want to use 8TB/10TB HDDs with it. Hikvision's HDD compatibility list is hasn't been updated in almost a year and doesn't list any of the new HDDs...

That's good to know that they fixed it. I guess IPVM is behind the times and this author is just rebranding free stuff to make a quick buck.
