    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    I just thought I would update this. I have decided to run cables, so no wifi will be required. Is it worth having a dedicated run from nvr to a single router port? Or is it ok to go via a switch? Also I just want to clarify. Cameras to poe switch to nvr camera port? And not cameras to poe...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    Can I please ask what may seem a daft question. If I am able to run 1 cable from an attic POE switch to the NVR to connect the camera to the NVR will this work? My work system has the 4 camera wired into the individual POE ports. If I can the cameras would then have no issues or dropouts...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    Can you suggest anything that would work better, apart from wires of course? I wouldn't activate the wireless SSID capability, just as I don't with my PC access point. It would just be connected to the router the wirelessly and the network switch would be wired in. I could wire the NVR to my...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    Many thanks for all the replies. To answer TonyR, yes there would be a wireless in there with the attic access point and the NVR access point being connect to the router wirelessly. I would like to place the NVR in my office and I have no easy way to run cables from anywhere into my office. I...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    My intention was to have a wireless access point in the attic and wire the POE network switch into that. I currently have a TP-Link Archer BE230 Router and use a TP-Link TL-WR1502X to connect my PC. I don't use it to extend my wireless network, as the BE230 does a decent job. As I have no...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    I have a Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 set set up at work. It was fairly easy to set up with all 4 cameras wired directly into the NVR. I have purchased another to set up at home. I don't want to put the NVR in the attic and I also don't want to have lots of cables running from the attic to the NVR...

    CCTV install questions

    I have a hikvision cctv system to install at my home. I already installed the same system at work, but this was only indoor cameras in a false ceiling, so was easy to do. All the camera are wired directly to nvr ports and the nvr is direct into a router. At home I want to mount 3 to 4 cameras...

    Web interface and ivms4200 issues

    After experimenting it appears the playback function does not work with palemoon. I found a workaround. I'm sure I tried this previously, but perhaps not properly. The web interface works perfectly in MS Edge. I've read several times it doesn't, but I finally came across a post saying it did...

    Web interface and ivms4200 issues

    Many thanks for your replies. I already tried IE tab for chrome, but I think you have to pay a subscription for it, unless I've installed the wrong one. I installed palemoon and it works nearly perfectly. I don't get the "deceptive site" pop up like with chrome, which is great. The only issue...

    Web interface and ivms4200 issues

    I was using port forwarding to access the web interface on a DS-7716NI-M4 / 16P on a remote PC. I installed the LocalServiceComponents and despite the "Deceptive site ahead" warning from chrome it was working fine. I have a 15 year old label printer and installed this on my PC. This could be a...

    New cctv questions?

    Thanks. Do you have any thoughts about the drives? Another question is will I need cat6 cable, or will cat 5e be sufficient?

    New cctv questions?

    I just purchased some Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu Network Turret Camera With Live Guard 2.8mm. I have a 7716 m4 nvr on order and 2 6tb Skyhawk drives. I questioned if AI or purple pro would be better but the seller said standard Skyhawk are fine. I will probably go up to 8-10 8mp...

    Hikvision 7600 vs 7700

    Thanks. I have been trying to reply for a while but it wouldn't work. I should have given more info. In a business environment I want to run 5 or 6 4mp exir cams and a couple of bullet cams. I will probably get the 16 channel version so I can add more cameras if needed in future. I also want...

    Hikvision 7600 vs 7700

    There are a couple of hardware difference but nothing that's a deal breaker for me. I was set to get the 7600 until someone said the 7700 is better. I just can't figure out how and they didn't elaborate. Does the 7700 run better software? Someone else mentioned better analytics but I'm not...
