Hi Everybody, Apologies for the long post. I use Hikvision iVMS-4200 and the now depreciated Storage Server as my NVR. It runs on a dedicated Win7 x64 machine with multiple RAID1 drive arrays for storage. I tend to leave this machine alone for as long as I can, but recently I decided it was...

Hi Everybody, I've just installed iVMS-4200 VS on my office PC (Win7 64bit). After going through the initial setup and importing my cameras into a group, I am finding the Live View does not work. I get continually the continually rotating circular dots in the middle of the screen (see...

Hi Everybody, I've just bought a new Hikvision DS-2CD2365G1-I (v5.6.4 firmware) camera for my house. This is being added to 5 x DS-2CD2342WD-I cameras. I am using iVMS-4200 V2.8.1.4 (latest V2 version) running on a dedicated Win7 machine. The performance of this camera is amazing compared to...

Hi Everybody, I've got a small Hikvision setup at home. Five DS-2CD2342WD-I cameras and iVMS-4200 running on a dedicated Win7 machine. It has been a most reliable setup and has provided evidence for various incidents over the last four years. I have it set up for Event Recording with a 3TB...

Hi Everybody, I'm doing some testing of the new iVMS-4200 v3 Client Software. The UI looks neat and tidy... but for the life of me, I cannot seem to get the Live View/Main View window to work. My cameras are working, movement events are popping up with live video... but I can't get the...

Hi Everybody, Apologies if this has been asked and answered before. I did perform a quick search, but couldn't seem to find an answer. Can you access the Hikivision iVMS-4200 Client using a web browser? I do notice there is a Web Server Port setting in the configuration, but all it seems...

Hi Everybody, Just wondering if anyone has done any experimenting with limiting/blocking the IR illumination coverage with a Hikvision turret camera. I've just installed another 4mm DS-2CD2342WD-I at home that is looking up a narrow path between my house and the fence. I've been in contact...

Hi Everybody, I've seen this mentioned before, but I can't recall reading if there is a fix for it or not. It appears that whenever my iVMS-4200 PCNVR software is restarted, it deletes my carefully crafted Expert Basic Events and re-enables a default image wide "normal" Basic Event setting...

Hi Everybody, After reading about the privilege escalation vulnerability found in the Hikvision cameras, I thought I would take a detailed look at what my network camera is up to. One of the good things about Mikrotik RouterOS is being able to see exactly what IP connections are happening at...

Hi Everybody, First of all, sorry if this has been asked/addressed before. I've done a search in here and on the internet of what I'm after and can't seem to find anything related. I'm wondering if there is software out there that can take multiple RTSP streams from IP video cameras and...

Hi Everybody, I've seen this phenomenon mentioned by others in here... but I haven't found a fix for it yet. When I start the Hikvision PCNVR server on my server... it changes the Motion Detection settings on my Hikvision (DS-2CD2342-WD-I v5.3.8) cameras from Expert to Normal. Is there any...

Hi Everybody, I've been noticing this for a while now, but only after enabling Dynamic Analysis for Motion on my Hikvision camera did I see why I had been seeing hours upon hours of video being recorded with no visible motion! I'm finding that my Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I camera seems to be...

Hi Everybody, I'm wondering if anyone here knows if it's possible to migrate existing video captured via the HikVision PCNVR software to a new/bigger HDD. At the moment I have a 500GB RAID1 array on my server PC dedicated for PCNVR. I'm planning on adding a bigger RAID1 array in a few...

Hi Everybody, Last year, while I was rewiring my home with Cat6 cable (I've had Cat5 cable installed since 1998!)... I ran Cat6 cables to strategic locations outside. About a month ago I bought my first Hikvision camera, just to see how I liked it. I installed the camera in my "front door"...

Hi Everybody, First real tech question post... please be kind. :) I've been playing around with a Hikvision Turret Cam (DS-2CD2342WD-I) and the Hikvision iVMS-4200 PCNVR software. It's been mostly plain sailing, but there are a few weird things happening that are vexing me. I've got PCNVR...
