    New Firmware for DS-7600NI-SE 7600NI-V(VP)

    The problem with the sporadic and not systematic abnormal shutdowns may have to do with the handling of possible bad sectors of the disk. The hard disk when it recognises a possible bad sector tries to recover the sector and if not possible to rellocate the data to a new sector and mark that...

    30 Camera system, Separate Networks, remote viewing

    The HIK NVR gui has limited access to a subset of camera features and configuration. For example if you plan to generate email alerts triggered from the camera motion detection, you need to have access to configure the email settings in the camera. Also if you want to reboot a specific camera...

    30 Camera system, Separate Networks, remote viewing

    In this configuration, how are you going to access the camera's web gui interface for camera configuration from the LAN side (10.14.3.0) ?

    5.3.6 Firmware

    Even if you select constant bitrate, the video quality should be preselected at setting "Highest" and you should see it. If you cannot see the video quality settings, change your bitrate type to Variable and then see if you can select Highest video quality. If you are seeing the camera through...

    5.3.6 Firmware

    Your moving legs do not have sufficient contrast from the background and therefore the compression algorithm canot diffferentiate them and compresses them as if they were the static background. What is the setting of the video quality in the camera settings? It should be at the highest possible...

    Transcoded Stream options in playback menu

    In a 7604NI/SEP NVR with firmware 3.0.9, if the web components plugin of the NVR are not installed, in the playback screen and to the left of the reverse slow button, another button appears that displays the playback transcoded stream options like resolution, bitrate and framerate. This button...

    Hikvision - Noise/Quality Problem - $50 Reward!

    Of course the oscilloscope does not measure or display current, every electronics engineer knows that. However if you pass the supply through a very small resistor and measure the voltage drop on that resistor, then you can measure AND display the current drawn from the camera. HIK cameras use...

    Hikvision - Noise/Quality Problem - $50 Reward!

    The 12V power supply fed through the pig tail and the 48V from the Ethernet PoE cable are not treated the same in the electronics of the camera. Therefore it is possible to have different electronics behaviour when you switch from the 12V to the 48V. The problem is poor supply regulation of the...

    @flyleclair You have not specified us which NVR and camera models you have and what are the four characters in the middle of the serial number that indicate if the camera and NVR firmware are for the western world (market) or for the chinese market. Certain NVR firmware versions have bugs...

    FPS and bitrate

    If you set the iframe interval at the same fps as the video frame rate, then you will notice the flashing (I would call it judder) every one second and therefore it is visible. If you set the iframe interval at 100 and the video frame rate at 20 then you will notice (very difficult) the judder...

    What is the de-bricking process for HIKVision camera and NVR firmware updates?

    Ensure that the both PC/laptop and NVR are the only ones connected to the switch. Avoid using a router with a DHCP server running and also do not use a crossover cable connecting the NVR directly to the PC/laptop. In the past I have sniffed in the network that if the PC/laptop LAN port does not...

    Adding Camera to NVR which is located elsewere

    1) Yes it is possible but the solution is network related. In other words you must define static routes in the routers of the two LANs to communicate with each other. Then every camera at LAN A must have its gateway set to the router of LAN A and at this router you must define a static route...

    Different settings to the Hik cams at sunrise/sunset using Blue Iris event schedule

    Re: Different settings to the Hik cams at sunrise/sunset using Blue Iris event schedu Is there a way to implement the same functionality of this thread with a camera like 2332 and an NVR like 7XXX unattended and without BluIris?

    Wireshark is an extremely detailed network software but requires network communications knowledge to interpret and analyse the information provided. You can check it at www.wireshark.org.

    I also agree with the technical reasoning from Alastair. In order to verify if your router has some sort of bug with NATing is to replace it (temporarily?) with something else or even upgrade its firmware. Another way to trace what is really going on in your network is to use wireshark software...

    It is possible to define separate email settings for the motion detection in the camera and in the NVR. In this case the camera will send an email with high resolution pics attached and the NVR will send a separate email with low resolution pics attached. The attached pics between the NVR and...

    Which camera models, firmware and region does this limitation refer to? Is this a bug? Does it concern chinese (hacked or not) firmwares OR european firmwares? Please point me to the relevant thread in this forum that this problem is discussed and resolved.

    alarm output voltage and current

    Well spotted Alastair. I agree with your technical observation, the drawing of the transistor is wrong. In fact BC547 is an NPN transistor. So when the IN from the NVR is high, the optoisolator out is high, the BC547 base is high and the relay is energised and the LED2 lights. When the IN from...

    My first attempts have failed..

    The features that appear in both the camera and the NVR interfaces, are affected by the last interface that changes them. Therefore it does not matter where you change the feature (NVR or camera). However it would be good practice to define the majority of the settings in the camera first (as it...

    @okosub For DNS in the cameras (or in anyoter device as a general recommendation) set either 192.168.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or both (in my 2332 camera I have two DNS entries) The maintenace section of the NVR interface is only informational. Set any public site IP or URL and the NVR will measure the...

    @okosub Alastair has given you the correct instructions so far and I was under the impression that you have implemented them. In any case here are the ideal configuration settings for everything (once more!!) Camera settings when connected to the NVR PoE switch: Camera IP: 192.168.254.2 (in...

    Since you already set up your NVR to have IP 192.168.1.200 then the DHCP of the NVR is off. There is no need to have a physical connection between the NVR PoE ports and your internal LAN. All the routing i done by your router and the Virtual Host part of the NVR. To verify if there is any...

    @okosub OK now I understand what you have done. You created a static route for all addresses in the range 192.168.254.0 (i.e. your cameras connected at your NVR PoE switch) to be routed to 192.168.1.200 which is your NVR LAN port (otherwise the router would route them to 192.168.1.1 and then to...

    HikVision DS-7608NI-E2/8P - some pics and first impressions

    Someone else in this forum has changed the power supply fan with another of the same dimensions (usually around 5cmx5cm) from the Noctua brand which are known to be of high quality and expensive (comparatively).

    My first attempts have failed..

    I can confirm that Alastair's instructions all work OK (my camera 2332 with fw 5.1.6 on the PoE of a 7604NI/SEP with fw 3.0.9). One recommendation is avoid time.windows.com. I does not wok properly evn in my windows computers. Try alternative NTPs like time.nist.gov

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    I totally agree with you Alastair. However, this topic of accessing streams was discussed again last year sometime but I could not find the relevant posts. What this forum is missing is someone to make a summary of the most important solutions found. I see a lot of people who struggle with the...
