    New system help please

    LTS and Hikvision are one in the same regarding hardware overall. (different companies, but LTS is an OEM brand of Hikvision products) I personally am not one for rebranded hardware for a variety of reasons, but LTS is one of the few exceptions where I would consider it. They have great support...

    No DST support?

    http://blogs.interfacett.com/creating-standalone-ntp-server-windows It's meant for other non-domain connected Windows computers to connect to it but I see no reason a Hikvision device can't join in on the fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No DST support?

    I've tried Windows, Apple, NIST, the NTP pool, several. When the camera is naked and standalone, I've waited forever to watch the clock change. I've seemingly never been able to get it to go. I haven't messed around with it much because my patience ran out, but the NVRs seem to do fine with it...

    No DST support?

    I thought about that shortly after posting, that the UTC to GMT-x conversion is done in the device itself not on the server. (Hence "theory") That makes sense. Why give the server any more load than necessary? In the case of Hikvision recorders it acts as a NTP relay. (Er...client and server)...

    No DST support?

    The time server on Hikvision devices has always been a bit funny. On the cameras themselves I have never been able to get them go work, they rely on the NVR to relay time to them. Same with the NVR though, it has trouble connecting to a time server, so I've had to manually sync the time, set the...

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

    I ordered mine from XinRay which is a pretty good seller, they responded to my email questions very quickly even during the Chinese holiday when the whole country is virtually shut down, so I was happy. They also have 2 separate listings, one that says "multilanguage" (Chinese patched to...

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

    See the thread I just started under the NVR category, note the size difference. When you get yours, if you could post there that would be wonderful. I'm curious what people run into with new orders of this model. Also +1 on the purple! Excellent drives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hikvision 7600 series dimensions

    I recently purchased a DS-7608NI-E2/8P NVR from China, for a bit under $300 shipped. It is a genuine US NVR, with all Hikvision logos, color box, and upgradable English firmware. Hardware region is not the base of my question. I have purchased a few more of these models in the earlier part of...

    Cat6 cable

    There's a hologram UL sticker on the box which became a requirement for all communications cable in October 2010 because of the CCA being imported. It's pure copper. If you're really concerned, cut a teeny tiny chunk off the end, and shine the end with a flashlight. If it's looks silver, it's...

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

    That model has 8 PoE ports on it. I've installed a couple of them, so I know what I've hooked up. Or at least the ones I purchased had 8. Perhaps there isn't a model number denotation between 4 and 8 port. New models denote the difference, that is an old recorder so it could have been different...

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    A PoE injector is a worthy (and relatively cheap) investment for a basic diagnostic tool. That'll at least allow you to power up the cameras and tie them into your network where you can hopefully find them (the Fing app for iOS/Android is extremely helpful in this manner). Not to mention saving...

    Recommendations For A New PoE System

    I never understood why people complained about IR bleed on domes...actually I find the IR better if anything. Nothing beats turrets, at least the EXIR ones, those are really good. However any of the 2132s and now more recently, 3145s, that I've installed, I much prefer the IR over bullets...

    New system help please

    1) Wire looks good as you want to avoid CCA at all costs. Monoprice is also a great vendor to work with. People from the networking community frown upon crimp connectors primarily for the base principle of human error. One cannot perfectly control how the wires fit and crimp into the connector...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2 w/firmware v3.4 not sending email alerts

    He's saying the NVR was unable to resolve Google's SMTP address, so inserting the IP literal negates the need for DNS resolution. The IP he entered still is Google's SMTP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NVR Hanging during boot up

    It won't cause any damage but if the cameras rely on PoE as the power source, you won't get a link on those lines. Same goes the other way. Most every PoE switch out there is smart in that it can sense when a device needs power (IPC) or when it doesn't. (PC/laptop) this mitigates any risk of hot...

    Hard drive size and brand questions

    If it's not broken, don't fix it. I've always used HGST drives for most run of the mill desktop computing. They were affordable, reliable and worked well. Lately I've been going with WD Blues because I was uncertain as to the quality when Hitachi rebranded them as HGST and didn't need the super...
