    alarm output voltage and current

    this makes me think why hell they even put the alarm output there. i would have assumed it's just a Normally Open circuit, and once the alarm is triggered, it closes (still there would remain a question how much current and voltage they can take). I will be taking off one camera next week and...

    alarm output voltage and current

    Hi! I found out from older posts that it has been a mystery what voltages and current you can run through the alarm output (for example 2132). Has anyone found an answer? If not, I'll just use it to trigger a relay at 12V so it shouldn't require much current. But on the other hand, it would be...

    Video player software (VLC, media player...), what's best for cameras?

    I just realized I had some old version of hikvision player that was not working well. Now I downloaded the latest version and it seems to have everything I need. VLC is still good, but zooming is quite retarded. When using small laptop, zooming is handy.

    Video player software (VLC, media player...), what's best for cameras?

    Is there any player that supports security camera related functions well, such as playing multiple files, zooming, taking snapshots, playing backwards, going one frame forward/backward and so on? I've been using VLC quite a lot, since it is super fast, but I was hoping there would be some better...

    easy way to turn off motion detection DS-7608N-E2/8P

    Dreamboat, excellent point. The NVR does not have alarm inputs (do any?), but most cameras that I'm using have it. But setting the schedule to motion/alarm is not going to help, i think. There is no motion AND alarm setting, right? Instead it is motion OR alarm, which ever is activated starts...

    easy way to turn off motion detection DS-7608N-E2/8P

    I was wondering is the only way to turn off motion detection to either log in through browser and change the schedule of each camera individually or going to nvr and changing the schedule from there or turning the whole system off? The reason why I'm asking this is because we use the system in...

    Hikvision NVR remote recording problem DS-7608N-E2/8P

    When I access NVR through web browser and click start recording, I noticed the file is saved to my computer (the path is defined in "local configuration"). I do not want files to be saved in my computer, I would like them to be saved in NVR's HDD. Where is the problem?

    Trouble with two way audio on Hikvision 2432 camera

    I'm having the same problem. If I change the setting from camera interface, doesn't the nvr reset those automatically? Or does it happen with only certain settings, like resolution? But anyway, I'm unable to get any sound out from camera's speaker when I have it plugged in to NVR. I tried...

    ideas for a reliable security camera system

    Thanks for the replies. Nice to see that you really understood my problems, most likely you have been dealing with these earlier. The structural complexity of building makes it a real pain in the ass to wire all cameras. Now that I read your comments, I think I'll aim to wire two cameras (most...

    ideas for a reliable security camera system

    Hi guys! Even though I have several years of experience looking for a good surveillance system, this is still kind of a newbie question, since I'm not an expert in any aspect. So could I get your ideas what kind of system you would recommend for me? I have a warehouse/garage that is used by a...
