2 Issues with my Hikvision DS-2CD2142FWD-IS
Hi Ukie, Sorry for the late reply. I cut/pasted/modified a little batch scrip to adjust all my cameras after a power outage. I had my router die however, so have plugged my cameras back into the PoE ports on the NVR and just last night had a power outage again. This time I have tried to enable... -

Ahh yes, I did try this. But for some reason it would not record. I gave up on it after failing to get it right for a few days. All I did was add a non-administrator account on the camera and then in the NVR go to the cameras and edit it to connect with the new user/pass. If it's something that... -

I am not aware of any web UI documentation. I find a lot of the documentation refers to features or has screen shots of versions that are not mine. It's very disheartening. They don't have very good version control over their software and they seem to jump around a fair bit. I was really... -

I hope it does apply to you mate. Nothing worse than paying for something that doesn't deliver. I always think the NVR's retrieve some settings from the cameras to display to the user, and push some back to the camera. For instance, if configure a camera and THEN attach it to a network with an... -

SOLVED! Short story, Securame was correct. There is a setting when you go to the web based interface of the NVR. I can't find this setting in the camera interface, the physical terminal interface for the NVR or via the windows IVMS software. For the benefit of others a quick step through... -

Interesting finding: Okay so I had the settings @ 15fps and 6144 bit rate. I triggered motion detection and it changed to 25fps and 2046 bit rate. (poor quality) I left the settings and checked them some time AFTER motion detection recording had stopped. Settings now 25fps @ bit rate 8192 This... -

Cool, I just had it set for bit rate 6144 and happen to be looking through live view when a rather large butterfly flew close to the camera across my motion detection area. The image all turned to crap and I checked bit rate and it had in fact dropped to 2046. I am now convinced the issue is to... -

Yep, just checked it. Changed to 6144 and saved it. Look through live view (via the camera web interface) and the image was acceptable. I flicked back to configuration and checked. Yes I was in 6144 bit rate. I then walked out into the motion detection zone and came back and checked the live... -

Oh man the hikvision software really sh!ts me. Some bug's I have found: When the NVR reboots it will default all cameras back to "normal" motion detection mode, when I have them set to expert. This causes motion detection to stop working in my situation. I've written a one-click batch file for... -

Securame: I only seem to have main and sub stream settings. Main settings are the ones I am fiddling with and I have made sub stream very poor quality so it would be super obvious if it started using it. Is there somewhere else to access "event" settings? I am doing it via the camera... -

For nights, I turn the IR off. I am really regretting buying dome cameras. The turrets would have been far superior! I have really bad IR bleed issues, dirty dome and spider web issues which I believe are all reduced somewhat with turret. The IR bleed not being an issue at all. So I turn off the... -

Awesome, that is probably the issue with my pulsing changes in resolution/quality too I suspect. I was watching one recording and it looked like a brick in the house kept changing color tone. I'll check it tomorrow in daylight now that I have switched the day settings for Noise reduction down... -

Ahh yes it could be the noise reduction. Thank you nayr. It's night time here so I can't test it at the moment but I'll reduce it now and check it tomorrow. I've added two screen shots from a video of myself this afternoon. You can see after I burst out the door like there are free hamburgers... -

Hello all, DS-2CD3145F-IS DS-2CD3145F-I I seem to have an issue I can't resolve by fiddling, so I tried reading but that failed too. So I am now asking the question :) I can get a pretty clear image through live view and recording. However, when someone enters the frame and triggers... -

v5.3.3 web access very buggy.
I suppose when it all breaks they will be forced into action :) Or potentially lose part of their customer base. I've only just got into cctv and I love playing with their product but if I had to go out and buy new products next year I might be inclined to try something else.
