    Hikvision camera picture download Windows ISAPI utility... downloads pictures from SD card ready for timelapse

    A little more information to help diagnose the memory leak. When playing back the snapshots using the integrated "Play" button, the memory usage quickly increases until all availalbe memory is exhausted. It took less than 1 minute to completely max out all 32GB on my laptop. This was during...

    The camera capture quality is set to "High" which results in picture files that are just shy of 2.5MB each. Agreed. You could argue it's not worth the effort to change but the long files names might be problematic if storing the images within nested folders where the Windows 255 long...

    Hikvision camera picture download Windows ISAPI utility... downloads pictures from SD card ready for timelapse

    I'm genuinely pleased with the new Version 2.0. I very much like the organization of the different snapshot types into separate folders and the addition of the "Play" button is an unexpected bonus. On a quick testing I've just carried out the app seems to work flawlessly pulling down both...

    Hikvision camera picture download Windows ISAPI utility... downloads pictures from SD card ready for timelapse

    I assumed that if the requests to the camera were filtered by event "type” that it wouldn't matter if there was two or more snapshots with the exactly the same timestamp. I guessed the camera would only return the snapshots for the chosen event type. Personally, I'm eternally grateful when...

    OK. If I understand correctly setting the picture download parameter to "allPic" may create problems if more than one picture exists within any one second interval if both continuous and event capture are both enabled. There's a couple of considerations that might help reduce the amount of...

    Hikvision camera picture download Windows ISAPI utility... downloads pictures from SD card ready for timelapse

    I've set both timed image capture and motion detect capture as per the image below. I reformat the SDcard to be sure there was nothing corrupting the images. Note that the timed image capture file names are suffixed with "_timingCap" which differs to the example you provided earlier although...

    The file type is "Motion Detect" in my case. See below. I'm also still on Firmware Version 5.7.15. Thanks for your help.

    After confirming I could reach the camera from my desktop PC via the NVR virtual host IP on port 65001 I also tried using these settings in the app however, exactly the same result as the screenshot provided earlier.

    Hoping for some suggestions on what I'm doing wrong. I've set up the HikPictureDownload utility as described but I keep getting a prompt saying there are no picture to download. I've checked and have snapshots saved on my Cams internal SDcard. The IP address used provides direct connection to...

    Finally, had some success. Camera Model: 2CD2386G2-LSU/LU Camera firmware: 5.5.801 Scenario: Camera connected directly to a Hikvision NVR. Virtual host enabled. Results comment: 1. The alarm server was only reachable from the camera when port was set to "80". All other port numbers failed...

    lineCrossing shutter speed change app - Readable licences

    I set the IP address of the server app in the alarm centre of the IP camera. That did not appear to work. I then wondered if I should try setting the IP address for the server app in the NVR instead. That also did not work. Virtual Host is enabled on the NVR. The camera is directly...

    lineCrossing shutter speed change app - Readable licences

    I decided to give it a try however, the app didn't appear to see the line crossing trigger events from my camera. Probably something I've missed. I opened the firewall to the app. Any reason the app might not work for a camera located behind an NVR? I have a Hikvision NVR with the...

    VCA search not working - No Intelligent Record File

    @Mike_Du I look forward to receiving my golden ticket! If you've recently changed out your HDD and started to see this problem or maybe it' never worked, its more likely than not the HDD. Some of the new crop of SMA (Shingled Magnetic Recording) hard drives now on the market don't have...
