    Upgrading question, How easy?

    Upgrading question, How easy?

    This does make sense. I cant remember what the memory is right now but I tried to max it out knowing that this was important. Of course I know there was limitations to Win7. Eventually I will buy a new computer but if its not broken etc. And its such a small number of cameras usually 2...

    True, Im aware support ended long ago. I still get updates I think because this is an enterprise version, not sure. But it does work well enough currently. Purchasing a new computer really just for one feature emailing, I'm not really going to do. I can use google. And there is a work around...

    How to hook up audio to headset mic - Hikvision ?

    My model is DS-2CD3145F-IS 2.8mm At the time I bought it I did not know there was a gray market and just bought it on Amazon. After a while I read up on it and saw that it was a Chinese model converted to English and upgrades were not possible. It was being broken into by hackers, so I removed...

    How to hook up audio to headset mic - Hikvision ?

    I have an older gray market Hikvision that it appears cant be upgraded. I wanted to test the concept of hooking a mic from headset up to it to record videos. Really I'm just messing about and wanted to see if I could do it. I have looked at several web sites but am generally confused. Not sure...

    What are blank spaces in the time line ??

    Thank you for your answer. Let me see if I understand you?? Its not easy. What you seem to be saying is that if you have the cut time set to 8 hours, then there will be an 8 hour coloured bar, so long as there was at least one triggered motion. (set to motion detect). However that does not...

There is a space between the pink and blue bars (which represent cameras) But there is also no blue above pink and no pink bar below blue. Other times the colours do show up...
