    Anyone can help enhance image?

    An example of bp2008's point when using AI to enhance footage: Using the wheel as an example you can see why accuracy will be called into question.

    ISAPI Access previous day data

    Yes, you can view recorded footage from the NVR via ISAPI for a certain time period. With some testing and effort probably a picture too provided the image was part of a triggered event.

    Worth it? - DS-7608NI-E2/8P

    Yes, it will record all 8 streams at 4K. My understanding is decoding refers to the NVRs playback limit and does not affect recording.

    Controlling when Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW PTZ Camera runs its Pan / Tilt / Zoom Test

    I don't see a reference to the Test feature in the documentation. Might be a patrol, pattern or preset that is scheduled. Are you able to access the webGUI of the camera?

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    We have a confirmed case in South Africa. Won't be long before it's in my neck of the woods. Cape Town has one major public hospital and less than a handful of smaller, ill-equipped hospitals servicing more than 4.5 million people. When Black Friday became a 'thing' in South Africa around 2016...

    Yeah. Looking for wireless setup w/dvr 6-8 camera's. need help

    As you mentioned, do you really need this struggle? WiFi cameras come with baggage, spare yourself the support headaches and run Ethernet cables.

    arming schedule changes

    To narrow down the issue - What firmware are they on? Are the notifications via email, Hikconnect app or third-party software? Which browser are you using to configure the settings?

    Small light "orbs" and motion detection

    Those bright orbs are usually bugs attracted to the IR lights. Camera models? A post of the detection area and motion settings from the webGUI would help too.

    What kind of video recording system do really large buildings use?
