    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    OK, I had not considered that. With digital zoom on NVR I am unable to detect a difference. However, capturing and then viewing on a computer is quite an apparent improvement. I can easily maintain a good quality view at 3x zoom, more than that deteriorates noticeably. Karey: Thanks for...

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    That is certainly a good point. I never considered it before. The NVR outputs to a HDTV, max resolution 1080p. My computer monitor is also max resolution 1920x1080. So that is 2mp of real estate. What is available to display 4mp? Truthfully, I never considered the interplay between camera...

    HIK 7608-NI-E2 no live view for main stream

    I was previously unaware of iFrame's. I usually don't mess with the camera settings, I do everything through the NVR gui. The NVR gui doesn't show iFrames, unless it is buried somewhere that I missed. My NVR (& camera) show 4 settings: Main Stream, Sub Stream, Main Stream Event, and Transcode...

    Main Stream vs Main Stream Event

    I'm no expert at this, so in my mind Main Stream refers to live view. For recording, I have either continuous or event. Event, to me, means motion detection, but I suppose there are other settings that may be referred to as an event. I believe, but not certain, that when using a browser to...

    Cannot play saved event

    Yes, and I would never have ventured this far if it had not been for your feedback on my issue. Thank you for the help. As long as I have your eyeballs, in a Firmware thread yesterday you showed logging in to the busybox as root. I was under the impression terminal was not available, or is it...

    Cannot play saved event

    Solved, I hope... At one time all settings were the same, used copy/paste to do it. No idea how they got changed but I must have done it. Now the resolutions are all 1080p and frame rate 15 or higher. VLC is now able to play clips from each camera the cover the time period after the change of...

    Cannot play saved event

    Yes, this whole thing is odd. I have the same version VLC. I have 10 cameras, I just finished captures on every one. 3 of the 10 respond as above, showing static 1st frame and progress bar but not advance of video. I have not yet tested captures on a Macbook or Win. I'll use the word 'bad'...

    Cannot play saved event

    This is strange. That file will not play on this computer. But using a different computer, clicking on that link, it will play. But that file loaded directly onto the hard drive of the computer that plays from the link will not play from the hard drive. Shrug - Lets hope for better things in...

    Cannot play saved event

    I just checked saved clips on 3 of my other cameras and they all play correctly, without any conversion, as you pointed out. I have not checked all my other cameras yet. Here is a clip that I just saved, it does not play beyond display of the first frame. It should be about 30 seconds and a...

    Cannot play saved event

    On my son's win10 with Chrome it downloads, and the file plays in vlc. He was logged into Google and uses all their apps, etc. Don't know if logging into google and using all their stuff has anything to do with it. I don't even know if I have activated google drive. On my linux, with FF I...

    Cannot play saved event

    The top right of the browser when I click on your file? When I click on that file it takes me to google drive. Yes, it's there but it does nothing AFAIK. The screen flashes and that's it. So then I signed into google and tried again, but it does not download to my computer. I even checked...

    Cannot play saved event

    In view of comments here I also thought it was odd. But Google has lots of complaints. Anyway, I could upload one here if you wish to check it.

    Cannot play saved event

    SOLVED. Answering my own question for future users, it seems to be a common question on the web. Using Win10, IE, I downloaded from Hikvision the vsplayer and installed it in Win10. That also installed the Format Converter 4 that I previously tried unsuccessfully to use. In vsplayer, I opened a...

    My system is Hikvision 7716ni-sp16 set to record motion events. I want to save an event and have done that to a thumb drive, it created several .mp4 files of varying sizes. On the web gui Camera Record Quality -> Mainstream H.264+ is NOT checked. I've read here that vlc will read saved clips...

    Looking for camera suggestion

    Thanks, I should have searched first. There is a lot of good info here that I failed to check on. I was so bent outta shape over the theft and at same time my wife got phished and my mind just went into overload. It's taken all day just to clean up after clicking on that link. The ethernet...

    Looking for camera suggestion

    I have a Hikvision 7716 (16 POE ports) with 10 dome cameras, all mounted outside under the eaves of my house. Today I recorded a vehicle driving up to my mail box and helping themselves to a bunch of junk mail (I hope it was junk mail!). The distance is just a bit to far to capture important...

    Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2/8P - motion detection record

    So your entire weekly grid is set to 'Event' (yellow on my system)? And on the upper right, 'Enable Schedule' is checked? See attached image.

    Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2/8P - motion detection record

    I have a 7716. To set the motion detection vs continuous I have a menu choice of 'Recording - Schedule'. On that page you can define how to record. I had to fiddle with it a bit to get it set up correctly. Don't know if your 7616 has same menu.

    Changing Camera order on Hikvision NVR

    Are you are referring to a monitor connected to the NVR? I have 10 cameras displayed on a 4x4 matrix. To change the order, drag & drop with the mouse. I dragged to an open space and moved images in that manner. So move camera #1 to position 13-16 and move camera #12 to position #1.

    DS-7716NI-SP/16 vs DS-9616NI-ST

    When I review the output, not as often as I should, I usually use the flat screen TV that it is attached to (alternate input). I occasionally view the output on an iPad or from a browser on a computer located at the other end of the building. The number I posted was derived from the NVR...

    DS-7716NI-SP/16 vs DS-9616NI-ST

    I have the 7716NI-SP16 with 9 cameras on motion sensing. I have not yet set up my system to tunnel in from the outside. I see very negligible traffic on my LAN, even if I am viewing 1 camera on a browser. My NVR only goes out to NTP a few times a day. I don't use the hikvision web site to...

    How Loud is an NVR (Noise Level)

    My wife thinks our NVR is too loud. It's in the living room next to a Tivo. By comparison, I'd say the NVR puts out approx the same sound level as a (not cheap) desktop computer. The Tivo is quieter. My NVR is a Hikvision 7716. The options I've seen for swapping out the fan on my NVR all...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-SP/16 want to use webviewer in Linux (Firefox or Chrome)

    I connect directly to my camera web UI substream with Linux FF running VLC web plugin (v2.2.2 Oct 2015). FF is displaying the output of only 1 camera. Open more tabs to see more cameras. I don't find this useful and rarely use it. It's a whole lot easier to go to the room that has the NVR and...

    HIKvision NVR with playback transcoding support?

    And where do I find the 4200? I cannot locate it. Also, referring to another post on the iVMS-4500, the Apple Store has only the 4500-HD which I have on my iPad, I do not see an option for 4500.

    How often do you guys reboot/restart Your NVR

    I updated the NVR firmware (not the cameras). Had a few hurdles doing this. I run linux and using Firefox to access the NVR I was not able to enter the .mav in the update field. I guess the software is hard coded to open windows explorer. I had to start windows in a virtual machine and...
