    DS-2CD3132-I No Sub Stream Option on DS-7104N-SN/P NVR?

    Not showing the sub stream is a common issue with the Hikvision cameras. In general here are the steps to fix it: 1. Upgrade to the latest available firmware both the NVR and the camera. 2. Delete the camera from the NVR 3. Reset camera to default settings. 4. Add the camera again. In case you...

    DS-2CD2432F-IW integrated PIR + NVR not working

    I think this will never happen. There're always a missing features when accessing either local menu, web or iVMS4200. In Hikvision's logic there're features on the local menu not needed to be available remotely (like local output resolution, or local live view camera configuration). But in fact...

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    I think in case there's no wired connection between the NVRs "WAN" port and the PoE ports, itsn't possible to call directly camera IP address or I'm wrong? In normal situation only the "WAN" port is connected to the network, while the PoE ports are only connected to the powered IP cameras. I...

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    Yes, you're right. If the security is an issue the user/password information could be removed from the link like this: rtsp://192.0.0.64:554/PSIA/streaming/channels/101

    How to access the video streams of a camera or NVR?

    You can't access video streams directly from the camera (or at least I don't know how), so you should go through the NVR using the following syntax (in VLC): rtsp://admin:12345@192.0.0.64:554/PSIA/streaming/channels/101 - main stream of camera 1...

    Motion detection images low quality

    Just to mention, probably that's not your case. In order to have virtual host links visible, you have to enable virtual host function in the settings.

    Motion detection images low quality

    The information I know, coming from Hikvision is that the problem with the missing e-mail snapshots is related to a shortage of RAM in the NVR. That issue should be fixed in the latest firmwares only for the motion triggered events, while for the VCA triggered events wouldn't be possible...

    Question on NVRs and switches

    OK, you might be right, I don't want to argue. I just made a quick test, and shared the result. However it's not recommended using Hikvision NVR with third party cameras because you can't get the their full functionality.

    Question on NVRs and switches

    Actually you made me curious, so I made some tests. NVR: DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A, latest FW V3.3.4 I connected the following cameras on the PoE ports: 1. Vivotek IP7161. Result: Powered up normally, was able to get only the main stream working under Vivotek protocol. 2. CNB MGC6050F. Result: Powered...

    Question on NVRs and switches

    I had an experience more than two years ago with the early 7608NI-SE/P models when I wasn't able to power nothing but a Hikvision camera. Then as I remember tried with a Vivotek PoE camera - it was not powered at all. Tried also to connect another switch or PC but the port didn't light up at...

    Question on NVRs and switches

    Sure it works. At least for the 76xxNI-E2/E4 where the LAN ports works as a 100 Mbps switch. While for the older series 76xxNI-SE/P is a different story - cannot power nothing but a Hikvision camera.

    2MP vs 4MP?

    There is an issue on 4MP Hik cameras when connected to a Hik NVR. Cameras from time to time goes fully bright for a seconds, then goes back to normal (it seems the camera to fully open its iris). This happens when the NVR synchronizes its parameters with the camera. There is a firmware for 4MP...

    Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P 50Mb or 80Mb?

    iVMS-4200 PCNVR v1.03.05.04 is there an upgrade?

    The latest version of iVMS4200 PCNVR is what @alastairstevenson pointed. But this software is no longer supported by Hikvision, and it doesn't support the latest IP cameras/firmwares. You should use the latest version of the pure iVMS4200 software which has a build in Storage server application...

    Hikvision NVR DDNS issue

    Yes, there're a lot alternatives, but you either have to: - have another Hik device to set it to a different DDNS provider. - have a router, supporting DDNS services. - PC in your network with DDNS client installed.

    Hikvision NVR DDNS issue

    I think yesterday they had some issues with the Hik DDNS service. I got some complaints from a customers not able to reach the service. Now it seems to work OK.

    Logins

    This is rather bug or one of the not well developed features of Hikvision. I often do see such records in the log files coming from private IP addresses like 10.*.*.* or 192.*.*.* This actually is the private address which is staying behind the real address of the attacker. In fact that...

    Having difficulty connecting ReadyNas NVPlus to Hikvision DVR

    I don't have experience with ReadyNas exactly, but here are the steps needed to add NAS storage to your Hik DVR in general: - Setup NFS in your NAS as read/write - No user/pass for your NFS disk. - check for correct path where your NFS disk is located, something like "/mnt/nfs_share" If you...

    iVMS-4500 Port forwarding

    Recently I asked Hikvision about 554 port, and they said this port is required regardless if you use iVMS4200/4500 or Web. Probably it depends on the device model, firmware version or iVMS version, and there're always situations where this port is used. Anyway.. With Hikvision always expect the...

    iVMS-4500 Port forwarding

    I have to admit you're totally right. Long time ago I've had a bad experience by skipping the 554 port, and since then I always forward the RTSP port just to safe troubles. Now I double checked, and can confirm ivms software doesn't require RTSP port. RTSP port is required for the latest 72xx...

    iVMS-4500 Port forwarding

    It depends on the firmware version of the camera/DVR, but in most cases live streaming in IVMS4200/4500 goes through port 554.

    ivms-4200 sms stream media server setup

    How many end clients you will have? The right application for you was iVSM4200 PCNVR software, but unfortunately Hikvision stopped developent of this software.

    iVMS-4500 Port forwarding

    First make sure you've entered a valid gateway in network setup. By default, camera uses ports 80, 8000, 554, so these ports needs to be forwarded properly in your router. In order iVMS4500 to work properly you need ports 8000 and 554, using can u see me. org you can check external IP if those...

    ivms-4200 sms stream media server setup

    In my case shows: Local menu -> Maintenance ->Net Detect -> Network stat: IP camera: 5 Mbps (I have only one camera connected). Net receive idle: 75 Mbps Obviously total incoming budget is 80 Mbps. DS-7608NI-E2/8P Fw: V3.3.4 build 150606

    Trying to get 2 DS-7616NI-E2/8P to share cameras

    I think I found that RTSP string somewhere in the Internet, not from ONVIF device manager. Snapshots are taken from iVMS4200.

    Trying to get 2 DS-7616NI-E2/8P to share cameras

    Yes, x01 is the main stream, x02 is the sub stream, x03 could be a third (trans coded) stream if available. You better use both streams (as shown on my screenshots), thus you will help for smoother decoding when displaying multiple cameras, and avoid "No resource" message, which means you have...

    Trying to get 2 DS-7616NI-E2/8P to share cameras

    Yes, I can confirm that now also. Previously i had experience by adding DVR to NVR - it worked OK, here you can add all available channels from DVR to NVR. Obviously from NVR to NVR is a different story. alastairstevenson made a good suggestion to use RTSP in case you can sacrifice the motion...
