    Large setup IP cam help

    I know some analogs are better than others (anything with an IR cut filter vs. IR filter is nice), but that is an unbelievably high markup. Someone up top was counting on a nice vacation. What make/model? Just curious. All of the Hikvision 3145 4MP's I've been ordering have been spectacular...

    Large setup IP cam help

    If that was just for parts and for analog parts, that's awful. Greed knows no boundaries. I can't ever imagine marking up any of my Hikvision equipment that much to customers. That's insane. Opinion is correct. However I will always take a higher quality daytime image over IR mostly because the...

    Make sure you are using this one, not 4 lines: If TFTP does not work with that firmware, ask @whoslooking, that's his baby not mine. I'm only referring you to it because it's helped me and countless others in similar situations. When in doubt, consult it's creator.

    Large setup IP cam help

    This is entirely up to you as you said, as you (er...the bar owner) are the one purchasing the devices. Personally, I always go with pre-patched Chinese cameras and US NVRs. Generally, there is absolutely no reason you need to update the firmware on the cameras, so I'm comfortable doing that. As...

    Hikvision IP camera recommendation

    The IR is rated for 30M on those. The domes have better IR spread whereas bullets it's more like a spotlight. The model variance ultimately depends on where you are ordering them from. I import mine so I have better selection, but there are naturally risks involved with doing so. But I've been...

    Hikvision IP camera recommendation

    I personally would use domes because I've had serious spider issues with bullets, but that's just my experience. (Depends on location and environment) Domes are also less vulnerable to outside forces affecting what they're looking at (if something hits a bullet it might move, whereas a dome...

    DS-7608NI-SE/P Language mismatch DS-2CD3332-I

    I would not use the 4-line cross detection, I would use the single line cross detection firmware. I've personally had better luck with that one. It's on that same page, so try it again with the non-4-line firmware version and see if it works. As far as the resend issue, I ran into this problem...

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    This does not affect me so much, but am glad to see, the majority of the I series hardware on AI is Western region. I have yet to find a CH version (which I would never buy). Seems to affect cameras more than the recorders themselves. (But I have seen both) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DS-7608NI-SE/P Language mismatch DS-2CD3332-I

    When you purchased these cameras were they pre-patched to English or was the OSD/web interface/day of the week in Chinese? You are correct, the region flag in the camera is broadcasting as Chinese-region while the NVR is western (US) region and is rejecting them like orphans. You may be able to...

    English vs American

    nope...need a VPN capable router of doing IPSec, then one on whatever remote site you plan to dump images to. It's a site to site bridge so anything pertaining to the NVR never directly sees the Internet, hence better security. Yet on both sides of the bridge, the NVR is treated as local traffic...

    English vs American

    Their hardware isn't all that terrible I don't think (there are some areas that could definitely be improved though), but the real sour spot is in their firmware, and I'm not even referring to their region locks. It's just so poorly written overall. The GUI needs a lot of work (although the...

    English vs American

    7600s default to H.264, as of 3.4.0 firmware they *allegedly* gained H.265 support yet no one (myself included) seems to have been able to get them to work, whether Hikvision H.265 cams or 3rd party.

    English vs American

    3.4.0 was the version that axed the ONVIF workaround, not 3.4.2. The people having issues with regional restrictions are people who: A) purchased CH-region devices un-patched. Anymore you really have to TRY to do this as every one comes patched now. The Chinese have caught up in the cat mouse...

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    Even their H.264/+ codec is proprietary. They take the standardized version of the codec and modify it for their own devices. VLC supports it out of the box but not much else. You're probably right and that trend is continuing with H.265, except they aren't even fully supporting it themselves...

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    The build quality is ultimately up to the manufacturer, and since Hikvision products are really the only thing I'm purchasing, I'm very familiar with their build quality and honestly can't complain. I've ordered all of my Chinese cams from there and my US NVRs from there, I've never had any...

    NVR 7608 version

    "Stream receive" would seem like the core video feed. But why that impacts the rest of the functionality is beyond me. You have an NVR that explicitly advertises support (it's on the marketing page) yet you have the same experience as mine that implicitly advertises it (a minor quip in the...

    NVR 7608 version

    Any 7600 E series NVR are identical hardware-wise. The major difference in hardware is the PoE switch, whether it has 4 or 8 ports. The number after the E indicates the number of SATA interfaces available on the main logic board. 7608NI-E2 76xx = model series NI = International model (N is the...

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    I'm a bleeding edge type of person so that's my philosophy for most things. Neither do I, I actually still have a box TV. Found a 7732 for $597! That's incredible. And it's US regioned! Well I've found my new purchasing channel that's for sure. That's cheaper than the E4 I was looking at. :D...

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    For an 8 channel? That's not bad. US region? I need to order a couple 32CH 7700s and they're all turning up over $1000. The E equivalent? In the 600 range. From China of course, and US regioned as I always stick to for recorders. I'm probably going to end up sticking to Es for awhile until...

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    How much did your I2 cost? Just wondering. Finding those in the US is difficult and expensive. None of my stuff ever calls for 4K anything, but the physical redesign of those recorders is amazing. They're so pretty :P and pretty expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    What does it mean by initial connection? What in H.265 is beneficial to the initial connection that H.264 is lacking on? What I wouldn't do for better documentation... I'm trying to think of why you would want cameras to start off as H.265 during the handshake and step down to 264 thereafter...

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    I didn't think it did, but the current firmware in mine references toggles to enable it. (3.4.2) Yours supports a myriad of other stuff too like 12MP 4K stuff. Fancy. The least they could give you is H.265. Actually the documentation says so. I've never once read their setup manuals but most of...

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    It's also possible that that can only be enabled on like Hikvision devices. If I can see any company adding that as a restriction, it's Hikvision. (Although that would be pointless, whereas the region locks are a clear marketing weapon) That would deviate from H.265 being standardized and...

    DS-7600NI-I2 where is that H265 support?

    I think both the camera and NVR must support H.265 for it to not be grayed out, and it's on a per-channel basis. That model definitely supports it, but it might depend on the cameras as well. My E2 7600s allegedly support H.265 and I have all 3145s (which do support H.265 as well) but in...

    You must have a different model or region. That should work for any E series 7600. What does your serial number show in the middle? CCCH or BBRR AARR or anything like that? It's a 4 character letter code Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I 2.8mm or 4mm Lens?

    The smaller the lens, the wider the angle and the more backed out the image will be. Larger is the opposite. Clarity is more about the image sensor itself, while the distal and lateral coverage is more about the lens. Personally I stick with 4s unless a specific scenario calls for otherwise...

    New system help please

    Right, and that's why the NVR remaps port 80 from the cameras to port 6500x on the NVR (x being the channel number) when viewing the individual IPCs through the NVR Web GUI. Like on routers how you can set the internal and external port differently. I do this at home since I host a few different...

    I'm not fully aware of the deep intricate workings of their Linux implementations, but this does make sense. thank you for the clarification. This is why I said "like" NAT, not a NAT. I can see the confusion though. it's not a routing device of any sort so it isn't NATing anything at all. If you...
