    New Hikvision setup - New Bee challenges - please help

    It's been 2 years since I set mine up, so I can't remember the details. I do think that the server address, unsecure apps, and port all relate to how/if you get notifications - which may include push notifications. Your server address may be correct - I'm in the US so the address I changed to...

    New Hikvision setup - New Bee challenges - please help

    What Hikconnect server are you using? There are several and playing with the server address can help. Mine was set to a UK connection out of the box and didn't work. I had to exchange it for "litedev.us.hik-connect.com" For number 2, you have to allow unsecure apps or it won't work. Port needs...

    Mobile push notifications with Hikvision NVR?

    ivms4500 hasn't been supported for quite some time. You need to download HikConnect from the Hikvision website. Try that and see if it helps.

    HikConnect giving alert notifications two weeks into the future

    Just to close this out - yesterday the notifications from the 28th disappeared, and today the ones from the 29th disappeared. No idea why, and I've not updated the app firmware.

    HikConnect giving alert notifications two weeks into the future

    Today I de-registered my NVR from the online HikConnect service, deleted the app on my phone, and cleaned all remnants of the app off the phone as well. After re-registering my NVR and reloading the app, the dozens of notifications appeared instantly again. Anybody know where these things are...

    HikConnect giving alert notifications two weeks into the future

    Great ideas and thank you. If I reset the date to November 30th in my phone, HikConnect will not allow me to log in lol. Strange. If I reset the date in the NVR to November 30th it does not change the behavior of HikConnect. I guess I'll have to wait until it's actually November 30th to delete...

    HikConnect giving alert notifications two weeks into the future

    Thanks for the input. NVR is isolated, and the logs show no outside login attempts - or any logins that are not mine.

    HikConnect giving alert notifications two weeks into the future

    I've got an I-series NVR on the latest firmware, eight 2355 cams on the latest firmware, and the newest version of HikConnect on a Galaxy S9. A couple of days ago I got about a dozen alerts/notifications on the app of smart events. The events did happen that day, but the alerts were dated...

    What is the difference between Hikvision NVR DS-7716NI-I4/16P and DS-7716NI-I4/16P(B) ?

    I would be real surprised if any "I" series does not support 265+.

    "Operation failed" in iVMS-4500

    That app isn't even supported anymore. Get Hik Connect.

    Hikvision Push Notifications

    On my android I am unable to change the tone from the OEM Hik tone. In the app, under settings, there is a setting for alert tone. You can tick "soft" or "loud", and then there is a "custom" button that brings up your phone's list of notification sounds. Any time I've tried to use one of those...

    Oh geez, I didn't see that thread. Sorry guys. The Amazon email indicated the recall was yesterday. Please feel free to delete this thread. Apologies.

    Monoprice Cat6 recall

    Searched and didn't see this posted. Yesterday Monoprice issued a recall for its Cat6 cable due to fire hazard. I got an email from Amazon today (where I ordered it from) and sure enough, I have 600 feet of this in my house...

    Internet Speed Tests

    I'm in Houston as well. I can't figure out why such a large city has such crappy internet service compared to many other parts of the country. 90 mbps is the best I can get from AT&T.

    I use time.google.com, NTP port 123 and 60 minute intervals. Maybe give that a try.

    Hik connect help

    Are you sure the server address is correct? I believe the one I use is different. I'd post it up but I'm not at home right now.

    Hikvision Hik connect

    Has your client updated to the new HikConnect app available only through the HikVision website? It's no longer on the Play store.

    Ivms-4500 cameras not showing up

    4500 is not even supported by Hikvision anymore. Use the Hikconnect app, which you will have to get on Hik's website.

    Nuisance: Max Bitrate changing to 32 Kbps all the time

    I've never had any luck changing bitrate on the NVR - it has to be changed directly on the camera interface or you get these problems. Once changed on the camera, you likely won't see the change on the NVR interface until you click away to another tab and then go back. I can't say why it does...

    saving config error

    The only problem I've ever had in saving NVR or camera config files is improperly naming them. Can't have spaces, and if I recall, capital letters do the same thing. There are a couple of things that have caused errors in the past but I just can't recall all of them. I do know that saving the...

    Video Quality and Max Bitrate interplay

    OP, keep in mind that max bitrate is only a ceiling, it does not force the NVR to record at that bitrate. You can see that by fiddling with the settings and then real time monitoring a camera's usage. I think the max bitrate setting is for those using lower quality NVR's, like the "K" series...

    Hey guys, SATA question...

    As far as I can tell, the HDD Sleeping tick box only works in a 2+ drive system when you want to make the currently unused drive go to sleep. That's how it works on my I-series NVR anyway.

    B&H Photo

    Bought my whole system - NVR and eight cams - from B&H. Had to warranty one cam shortly after purchase and it went smoothly and quickly. It's worth it for me to buy from an authorized dealer rather than buying hacked Chinese cams for $20 off.

    DS-2CD2T35FWD-I5 + 5.6.3_190923 = broken basic motion sensing

    Double check all your cam settings. On two occasions I've had a setting or two go back to default after a firmware upgrade. No idea why.

    Hik Connect Playback Issues

    Hik Connect goes through glitches on occasion and gives you that error. No idea why. Next time click on the image and use your finger to "rewind" the footage to the beginning and hit play. That works sometimes. Other times it's just an asshole for no reason.
