    Couldy lens on Hikvision Turret Cams

    I thought I'd share my recent experience where I had to disassemble and clean the internal face of the glass lens covers on a number of my Hikvision turret cams. I recently put a 2CD2332-I back into service after having it stored away for over a year. The first night it was running I noticed...

    I got mine from an Ebay seller claiming it was "Genuine Australian Stock". The serial number contains the country region "RR" which others in these forums have stated is the country region that Australian sourced Hivksion NVR's seem to have. So I cant' give you can specific advice as to...

    Hikvision NVR 760XNI-I Firmware 4.1.60 release

    Version 4.1.60 is now showing up on Hikvison Europe site among others. I've previously tried this version and found that I could no longer see live view or playback of my 8MP 2CD2385FWD-I but the lower resoultion cams worked fine. Interestingly, black window when view live footage on 8MP cam...

    RTSP Camera View

    I currently use VLC to get quick access to specific camera streams without having to load up the full-blown viewer software. I've always wanted to be able to see multiple stream at once through VLC without running multiple instances. I've downloaded and will trial over the weekend. Any reason...

    How to record PCNVR with new hikvision cameras

    That's what I loved about PCNVR4200 was that it used almost no CPU cycles when used as an NVR only (without local playback). The remote client would do all the heavy lifting when it came to playback, searching etc. PCNVR4200 also has direct-to-disk recording which is one of the features that...

    How to record PCNVR with new hikvision cameras

    I am fully prepared to give BlueIris another chance. All I need is for you is to supply a full BlueIris license. I want to test the fully functional software, not some crippled product. I have a spare computer with ample specs to run BlueIris. I will run BlueIris in parallel with my...

    How to record PCNVR with new hikvision cameras

    I've tried BlueIris a number of times over the years going back as far as 10 years ago. Every time I've tried the latest version, I've ended up in-installing. I just don't like it and probably never will. It's just the way its is. I'm happy with my Hikvision NVR and consider it very good...

    How to record PCNVR with new hikvision cameras

    Let me save you countless hours of wasted time by sharing my findings after being in exactly the same situation. Was using PCNVR4200 very happily for several years in spite of it no longer being supported. I added an 8MP 2CD2385FWD-I to my setup and found that the only way to get it record and...

    Chome and Firmware 4.1.60 7616NI-I2

    Ok. tried V 4.1.60 on my 7608NI-I2/8P which was previously running V 4.1.54. Updated through the web interface using link provided by @redavenger. Whereas I was able to view live streams and playback in Chrome browser with V 4.1.54 it no longer works in V 4.1.60. So if you are after live...

    Hikvision NVR DS-7616NI-I2 - new firmware V4.1.54 build180621

    Updated to 4.1.54 through the web interface. No problems. In fact the "parameter error" problem seems to have resolved itself. So I can at least I can claim that it fixed one problem.

    Hikvision NVR DS-7616NI-I2 - new firmware V4.1.54 build180621

    I am having trouble setting the Motion Detection events. I keep getting a "Parameter Error" when i try to apply settings on one of my cams. Another camera of the same model and firmware works fine. I can't seem to work out how to sync the motion detection mask on the NVR and the camera. If I...

    Hikvision NVR DS-7616NI-I2 - new firmware V4.1.54 build180621

    I recently purchased a 7608NI-I/8P that came with firmware 4.1.50 out of the box. I am wondering if I am better off rolling back the firmware to version 3.xx and is it possible? I seem to be having a lot of issues setting up my cams on the NVR. More than I should. I wondered if the version...

    Hey Adam, thanks for the suggestion. My set up is working exactly as you described now using the software motion detection built into Milestone Xprotect. It also shows the RED highlights on the playback timeline as per your snapshot image. What I wanted to do was to use my Hikvision camera...

    Milestone Xprotect Essential + 2018R2 hardware decoding H.265 streams

    UPDATE 1: After rebooting the Milestone Server I am now seeing the Mobile Server use the GPU for transcoding the H.264 streams with about 30% GPU usage. Still need to try switching back to H.265 streams to see if GPU/CPU loadings differ. I have recently started using Milestone's Xprotect...

    Hikvision 2018 Firmware on download portal

    I threw caution to the wind and updated my G1 series cams to the latest build (currently 5.5.51). There are two builds of 5.5.51 with different dates. I used the later date. No problems so far. Interestingly, I came from 5.5.4. The update to 5.5.5 prompted me to install the new version of...

    PCNVR4200 vs HikCentral vs IVMS5200

    IVMS4200 does not support the remote mobile app. You need PCNVR4200 or a fully fledged NVR to use IVMS4500. Agree that making cams internet accessibile is a big risk. Using a VPN is a workaround however it's messy and cumbersome to have to connect to the VPN server on your router before...

    Today I found that Hikvision's Europe download portal has a changed directory structure that includes a "Product Firmware 2018" with currently only a single "Front End" subdirectory. DOWNLOAD PORTAL Seems to be a couple of updated firmwares for the R6 and G1 series and maybe more. As...

    Hikvision Turret 4K with Ultra Low Light?

    I've attached a screen shot of both the 2CD2335FWD-I and the 2CD2385FWD-I covering almost identical scenes. I use both cameras to get the optimum daytime and night time coverage. The 2CD2385FWD is unbeatable in the day. The resolution at 4K allows me to read license plates at about 20 meters...

    PCNVR4200 vs HikCentral vs IVMS5200

    Your'e right.....an NVR would be an ideal solution but given that I already have a Xeon based server with 16GB ram and tonnes of HDD capacity it doesn't make sense to buy another piece of hardware to take up more space and use more power. The server performs several functions so it is needed in...

    PCNVR4200 vs HikCentral vs IVMS5200

    Ok.....I understand that that there will be people advocating that I should move away from any of the Hikvision products for many reasons but can someone humor me and give me an idea of what I'd be in for if I do go against the current advice and stick with either IVMS5200 or Hikcentral?

    PCNVR4200 vs HikCentral vs IVMS5200

    I've tried Blueiris a few times in the past. For some reason I've never really felt comfortable with the interface. I also found the CPU usage was much higher than PCNVR4200 for the same camera setup. I've seen the wiki articles on reducing CPU loading but I was never happy enough to stick...

Over time the cameras have been slowly upgraded from the original 3MP Turrets to now having a mix if...

    Hik 2385 works great in browser but NVR can't see it

    iVMS4200 is the "client" software whilst PCNVR4200 is the "Server" or NVR. In my setup I use PCNVR4200 on a computer that acts as the NVR server which contains the storage for recording. To access the PCNVR I installed iVMS4200 on a client computer for viewing and playback. iVMS4200 can also...
