    two Hikvision cameras not being seen or recorded by Hikvision NVR

    Yes, the IP matches the Camera Configuration of the NVR. It's been working for over 2 years now. I did change the IP to another IP that is in the range of the NVR configuration; the NVR saw it, it actually looked like it was going to work, it showed the 'serial#" of the camera at first but once...

    two Hikvision cameras not being seen or recorded by Hikvision NVR

    We have had this system for a couple of years now. Two DS-2CD4324FWD-1ZHS8 cameras have stopped recording because they're not being seen by our Hikvision DS-9632NI-ST NVR. We're using a Hikvision POE switch to power the cameras, if I connect directly to the switch I can use a browser to...

    Hikvision DS-2CD4324FWD-IZHS8 firmware update 5.3.0 out of focus

    whoslooking, Thank for the suggestion to update the firmware via tftp, I finally brought in my laptop to be able to do that update. It worked, kinda of! The instructions I found mentioned 'waiting' until the server said update completed, I didn't get that message. But after opening the SADP...

    help, suggestions and recommendations for a camera to replace 2 possibly 4 HIK DS-2CD4324FWD-IZHS8

    Here is a snapshot from camera #4 before the firmware update. As you can see reading license plates is pretty much impossible at 190ft. I have a closer view of the same car and it's still unreadable.

    Hikvision DS-2CD4324FWD-IZHS8 firmware update 5.3.0 out of focus

    Thank you for your input; my only problem is my camera is POE only, I don't have an external PS and the external PS plug has been cut off. Not sure if they come that way or if the installer cut it off. I don't have a separate POE switch I can do this with. If I run this on my current...

    Looking for rack mount ears for Hikvision 7608 NVR

    This is kind of late but if you can't find ears, why not just install a shelf and set the NVR on that? We have two racks (1 two post, 1 four post) with some older equipment that who knows where the ears are so we just installed shelves and set the equipment on them. Just a suggestion!

    Hikvision DS-2CD4324FWD-IZHS8 firmware update 5.3.0 out of focus

    whoslooking, Thank you for that info., yeah, taking it down, not going to be my favorite thing but if I can't get it to focus better I'll have to re-aim it anyway. So, I guess I'm getting a lift for this project. Also, if I can't get it to reconnect to our NVR, I'll be looking to replace this...

    Hikvision DS-2CD4324FWD-IZHS8 firmware update 5.3.0 out of focus

    whoslooking, Thank you for the reply, I defaulted the camera, didn't change my problem although to get it to focus I have to change my zoom settings / field of view(?). If I keep the original zoom position I can't focus the camera, if I zoom in until it focuses I'll have to re-aim my camera...

    We have 5 of the DS-2CD4324FWD-IZHS8 cameras, I upgraded the firmware on 2 of them from 5.2.0 to 5.3.0 without any problems. When I upgraded the 3rd camera, all seemed to go well but now the picture / view is out of focus and I can't get it back into focus via the web console. Am I going to...

    Hikvision NVR DS-9632NI-ST email setup not working

    alastairstevenson, thank you for that updated info. Do you know if I can update my firmware from v3.1.3 straight to the latest version or do I have to do it in ascending order of release? I'm seeing v3.4.4 as the latest release for mine/US.

    Hikvision NVR DS-9632NI-ST email setup not working

    Update: I tried to switch over to gmail; change my settings to the gmail smtp settings and got the same results. As soon as I click "test", I get the popup message "Failed to send test email" AND I'm seeing the NVR (nvr ip address) traffic (email communication) leave our firewall. So it appears...

    Hikvision NVR DS-9632NI-ST email setup not working

    I'm trying to setup the email notifications in my NVR for Video Loss and Video Tampering. We occasionally have cameras quit working so I'd like to know sooner than getting phone calls that the cameras are out. We have 30 cameras spread between 3 buildings; separate Hikvision poe switches in...

    DS-2CD2732F-I quit working, no video / picture

    alastairstevenson, thanks for the release notes link. keyboard, appreciate the thoughts, all our outside cameras are "dome" cameras installed by a third party company.

    ok, I searched and found firmware on the Hikvision US site; v5.4.0_160530 I opened the zip file but there wasn't any description as to changes or fixes etc., is there a place they have that posted before I upgrade? Or should I update the firmware? thanks brad

    DS-2CD2732F-I quit working, no video / picture

    All of a sudden one of our DS-2cd3732f-i cameras quit working, no video. I tried to reset with a power cycle by unplugging the ethernet cable (poe) but that didn't work. (tried 30 seconds, 2 minutes, and over night) I took the camera down, used external power and our regular network (hikvision...

    Hikvision DS-9632NI-ST can't login at the NVR

    When I turn on the monitor connected to the NVR it's locked at what appears to be Camera 1. It's like a screen saver but I can't get past it. How can I get past this screen to login without shutting down and rebooting? Thanks, bfordz

    HDD make and model?

    I'm still wondering why it froze up like that. I got around it via the WebApp using firefox. While I was in there I wanted to change the VGA output settings to use a different monitor; it rebooted the NVR when I saved the settings. Once it rebooted I was able to get in via the NVR, shut it...

    iVMS 4200 client software

    Thanks again UberOverLord for your advise and assistance. I had contacted HIKVision also, their first response was the usual "canned" response; 'it's a permission setting' ... here's the manual. Well as I explained in my first post, my version of the software didn't have that 'permission' AND...
