    Hikvision 7600 series dimensions

    I can't tell a difference. Something like a power supply with respect to manufacturing supply chain can vary greatly. With many of the Hikvision NVRs I buy I do notice a bit of variance on this, no major issues to note which is good. The only one that had a noticeably louder PSU was a 7716 that...

    Hard drive size and brand questions

    While I'm not a fan of Seagate in any capacity (no pun intended, ha ha) due to their manufacturing quality or lack thereof, they call their plastic spacers/drive casings SeaShells. I love that for some reason =) Same with their other products, SeaTools drive diags, SeaShare remote file access...

    Hard drive size and brand questions

    Purple and Purple NV both have 3 years. Warranty period is the same. I actually was just about to mention the Newegg issue because I've had poorly packed drives from them several years ago, all of which have failed by now and were RMA'd. (I RMA'd to the Manufacturer so I knew the replacement...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    You will absolutely Need Dynamic DNS...that way you connect to a hostname, much like you do a website, and it will always keep current with whatever your IP address at home is. That way you don't have to keep track of it. Dyn.com is by far the most popular. I use them and it's been incredibly...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    That's an ADSL modem/router combo. We have the same offerings here in the US but of different brands. Pace plc is one of the most common here. (I mention this because Pace is a UK-based company, HQ'd in Saltaire, makes some of the most reliable provider-issued hardware I've ever worked with)...

    Hard drive size and brand questions

    Not saying an NV won't work, it just might be overkill for 16. I personally have had no issues with them in any of my recorders from 4CH to 32CH, I can't vouch for others but the general consensus is that purple = :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hard drive size and brand questions

    I have up to 32CH Hikvision recorders packed with 4 4TB Purples (non-NV) and they work incredibly well. Stick with regular purple, you'll be fine. NV is for NVRs with an insane number of channels (something like 64+ where the IO is much much higher) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    I'm not sure if you can change the RTSP port, that may have to be the same. Can't be sure though as I've left them to the defaults. Try and enter that info into your iVMS app and see if it'll connect. Huawei is not a common router brand (at least here in the US). I couldn't tell you how to...

    Configuration > System will show the version. What is the make and model of your router? External port is the port opened to the Internet, internal port is the port opened on your network. Your NVR is accessible from the web browser using port 80 on your local network, if you want to change...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    What can I say? Hikvision makes very good stuff. If they could properly write firmware (has been much much better lately, but earlier on it was horrible), life would be good. Until then, I'm satisfied, and it seems that you are too and are happy with what you purchased. Add a 4th camera. The...

    Hikvision 7600 series dimensions

    You're right. The smaller one only has two. Didn't pay much attention to that before. Good catch. Even so, when rack mounting the larger ones, only 2 holes were used. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hikvision 7600 series dimensions

    The date is on the sticker on the box and I think also on the sticker on the bottom of the recorder. All of the 7600s (big and small) have 3 holes. The 2 parallel ones are for the ears, no idea what the third is for. It's clear that this is an actual model change and not a version difference of...

    Hikvision NVR setup 7608NI-E2/P8

    Power cycle the recorder. In iVMS on Mac (get it if you don't have it), under device management, click show online devices. See if it's there and find its IP if by some odd chance it changed. "Show online devices" is the only OS X equivalent of SADP which is a Windows only tool that scopes out...

    NVR/IP Cameras HikVision Firmware Upgrade - How?

    In the case of Chrome, it's because the plugin isn't loaded. It won't ever be loaded for the time being because the plugin is not chrome compatible. (Chrome used PPAPI plugins, WebComponents is written in NPAPI, and IE uses ActiveX) Try Firefox. On Mac, I have to use Safari. Works well. Sent...

    Where an item is physically stocks has no bearing on its device region. However those both seem fine to me as they claim to grab them from authorized HV distributors in the UK. Go fetch! That's about $760 USD for everything. Not too bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    Make sure the NVR is not a Chinese regioned device. If the cameras are, not a huge deal if they say "multilanguage", they'll work with a WR recorder. But the recorder itself, absolutely no Chinese region whatsoever. Save yourself the headache. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    Sorry for taking so long to get back, I will reply in order: That's a PoE switch, not an injector, although it serves the same purpose, just costs more. Yes that technically will work. That is active PoE so compatibility is greater than that of passive PoE. If no matter what you connect to the...

    No DST support?

    This is by far one of the stupidest: https://appsto.re/us/OnVUX.i Some examples, but these are mostly issues with incorrect dates: On Windows, setting your clock/date wrong not only causes many of the system services to not work correctly, but you lose your status of "Genuine" Windows until...

    In-wall is difficult if the walls are insulated (some interior walls are not) and if the wall at any point has a horizontal stud in between two vertical studs. Trying to feed wire up or down will hit that horizontal stud every time, even with a fiberglass rigid fish. (From experience). Even so...

    Absolutely. Format it right away else you will be driven mad by the NVR's incessant beeping saying there's no hard drive. If you haven't powered it up yet to find out, you'll know very very quickly what I'm talking about. There is a setting to shut it off but for the time it takes to format the...

    New system help please

    PoE or non-PoE, lightning will always take the nearest path to ground. Whether or not the Ethernet line is powered, it is an equally viable lightning rod to kill everything in the circuit from camera to NVR and sometimes beyond. 200ft should be fine with normal Hikvision PoE through the NVR's...

    Difference between HikVision NVRs DS-7608NI-SE/P and DS-7604NI-E1/4P?

    That's exactly it. The last SE model I ordered was Summer 2014, so it was within the cut. However the notice applies to all SE models of the 7600 series, not specific channel numbers. Even so, that's what I was trying to describe to you when I said it was very old. E or I model is the way to go...

    Most recent stable firmware version for DS-2CD2042WD-I ?

    If you look on the official firmware channels (US and Europe), nothing beyond 5.3.0 is listed. That's the issue. I wouldn't begin to even know where to tell you to look for newer firmware, besides rolling back to 5.3.0 and losing the nicer interface. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Most recent stable firmware version for DS-2CD2042WD-I ?

    I could be wrong but I'm not certain that US region cameras are shipping with higher than 5.3.0, or at least nothing higher than 5.3.0 has been released as an update through official channels, which makes me think you have Chinese regioned devices. If that is the case, DO NOT TOUCH THE FIRMWARE...

    newby needs your valuable help with set up

    Hikvision devices as of Summer 2015 (firmware 5.3.x for cameras, around 3.2.x-3.3.x for recorders) introduced "Activation" which means the devices have no default passwords. From here on out, it's safe to assume Hikvision's default of Admin/12345 will no longer work on anything. With that being...

    Hitting cameras web pages with a laptop in an NVR with POE

    All of the latest firmware offerings do support it, and have for some time now, so unless someone has outdated firmware or a discontinued recorder or both, they should be able to toggle it on. I do remember a time when one of my 7600 SE models did not have virtual hosts, and somewhere along the...
