Yes, and the fix is very simple. With in ivms-4200 go to: Tool -> System Configuration -> Image (3rd down) and change the Play Performance pull down from "Self-adaptive" to "Shortest Delay" Incidentally you may see a number of memory leaks and crashes go away as a result. The worst side...

You mean you can't log back in? Are you seeing garbage characters for username in the pulldown menu to login? This happens when switching between USA ane Euro firmware (which both run on "Western Region" NVRs). What happens is that the Admin and User account database becomes corrupted (or in...

You're gonna be okay. It's not a Chinese box. This happens when switching between USA ane Euro firmware (which both run on "Western Region" NVRs). Basically what happens is that the Admin and User account database becomes corrupted (or in actuality is encrypted and stored in the NVR) when...

Hey badmanne, After spending a few hours messing around with the expert DNR settings I concur with your findings. Also, after a bit more testing we have found v5.4.0 to probably be the best firmware for the R6 4MP Cameras as long as you don't need H.264+. We are not really satisfied with the...

We had been testing v2.5.0.3 build 20160330 for a week or so and while it had a number of bug fixes pertaining to stability and memory leaks there were some lingering issues with regards to H264+ performance. So just received version v2.5.0.4 build 160504 from Hikvision and it is looking...

So just did some more testing and have some follow-up observations and questions. We are unable to change the I-frame interval when using H.264+ and the pulsating seems exaggerated when H.264+ is turned ON and all other parameters are left the same. The I Frame is grayed out from allowing it...

My apologies guys. I had mis-read Kroegtijgertje message. In any event thanks for the very helpful information. I am going to try your suggestions and hopefully be as happy as you guys are with v5.4.0. Thanks again and sorry for the confusion.

So far we have been unable to download the firmware either by web interface or TFTP boot. We are going to be trying a few other tricks in the lab but so far no luck. We have a ticket into Hikvision on the potential lack of downgrading ability issue and I will let you know how they respond.

I am in agreement with you Kroegtijgertje. I am surprised to see some are very happy with this firmware. We see far more noise and artifacts in v5.4.0 compared with v5.3.8 especially in low light and interior lighting. In fact, we also noticed a pulsating that occurs every 1-2 seconds with...

In some of the newer Hikvision firmware for their Value Plus Line of 4MP Cameras an "Expert" mode has been added under "Image Enhancement" Digital Noise Reduction. Prior we use to just have a 0 - 100 scale to set Digital Noise Reduction and for which the configuration was obvious. Now you...

1. Yes, but it is not RAID-1 mirroring on DS-77XX-NI....just HIK Redundant mode 2. Not sure. This is a good question... 3. Not that I am aware of.

Hey guys, just a brief update on v3.4.6. So we received the "I series" 3.4.6 build 160405. We have now initally tested v3.4.6 on both the I-series as well as the E-Series. The guys in the Netherlands that maintain the Euro site still haven't posted the v3.4.6 build 160405 for the "K51" I...

Has anyone that has tested this 3.4.6 firmware noticed if they have enhanced the ability to access "Expert" configuration mode Motion Detection under "Basic Event" settings on the NVR? For those that do not know, right now you can only use Expert configuration only in the Cameras GUI (where you...

So does that mean the 3rd party support for Arecont is broken and will not work? I don't have any Arecont to test with...

alastairstevenson you're the man! In the past I had been given bogus information from Hikvision themselves as to why this was happening. Your knowledge of Arecont finally explains this behavior. In past firmware this did not happen and now it all makes sense in that once Hikvision added 3rd...

Guys, Even though Hikvision develops and usually releases that I series and E series firmware in parallel the truth of the matter is that these two platforms have very different chipsets and hence require different firmware files (even though the build numbers will normally be the same). So...

I have toured the Hikvision headquarters in Hangzhou last year after they took occupancy of their two new high rise buildings. The scale of the company is absolutely remarkable. Well over ten thousand employees all incredibly well organized and focused. That said, 27 million devices in 4...

I would proceed with extreme caution. I know there were some fundamental architecture changes with in the firmware (as it pertains to boot and image loading) from v3.4.1 to v3.4.2 which have dogged us a bit even on Western Region (USA, South America and European units). I have no direct...

Definitely one of the better pieces of Software Hikvision has released in a while!

Sadly, I have all but given up for now. My understanding is that it will require a total web based gui overhaul (not sure why tho) and had we stopped asking about this in mid-2015 when we were never given any real timeline. We are now resigned to the reality the IE is the browser we are going...

Are you referring to an updated or webcomponents alternative for Chrome compatibility?

Actually the I Series is the latest Hikvision NVR line (it is an upgrade from the E and E2 series). We have tested a number of the I series (16, 32 and even 64 channel 16 Hard Drive units) and they are lightening fast especially for RAID and H.264+.

For those getting the failed upgrade messages, we have also experienced isolated problems upgrading some units from v.3.3.x to v.3.4.2 on about half of our DS-76XXNI-E2 units. I recommend going to v3.4.0 or v3.4.1 first and then try upgrading to v3.4.2. If that doesn't work then try a...

Yes, Here are two links: USA: ftp://hikfirmware:Hikvision123@ftp.hikvisionusa.com/Hikvision_IP_Camera_Firmware/Raptor_2xxx_Series/Value%20Plus%20Series/DS-2x22FWD,2x42FWD_V5.3.6%20151105%20(2MP,%204MP)/ Europe...

Hello smiticans, To answer your question, the only real substantive differences between HIK and LTS firmware is the H.264+ feature is not included for LTS and LTS defaults some of the picture settings (such as brightness, contrast, sharpness, ect) to different (non-50) values. From a...

Glad it worked for you!

I agree with that. We try not to use third party cameras with Hikvision NVRs at all... For continuous recording it's okay but we have noticed the video and audio stream settings and resolutions are prone to changing themselves. If you try and introduce motion then forget it! Hikvision NVRs...

Hikvision has released v3.4.1 build 151225 firmware for their DS-90xx&96xx-ST&77xx-SP series in the Western Region Euro market. It can be found at...

I assume you are referring to the console interface. I think the console interface is much better than say v3.0.x but we rarely use consoles as we deploy large scale systems. What I really don't like about v3.3.x vs v3.0.x is that Hikvision used to have the NVR push many more settings down to...

Hello jgkurz, The Batch Config tool does NOT work off the same type of files that the Camera exports. You must first use the batch config tool to extract the XML config file from the camera that you want to copy the config from...you do this by finding the 'source' camera in the device list of...
