    Hikvision-VCA Search is not working

    I have a HikVision NVR 7716 (v3.4.5 firmware, the latest avail for my NVR) & dome cameras 2142fwd. I can set up intrusion & line crossing but I cannot perform a VCA search on my NVR (no file found). That is, it is not recording at NVR any events. I have the NVR set to record events over 24hr/7...

    IR wavelength Spec?

    I'm thinking of buying accessory IR lighting for my Hikvision 2cd2142fwd cameras. They are mounted outdoors and I want to extend the range of night visibility. Lights I've looked at mention 850nm wavelength and not all cameras operate in this range. I cannot find any spec for my 2142 camera...

    Running LInux, using Firefox I was able to use LiveView on cameras with VLC npapi plugin. Latest version of FF (v52) no longer supports that plugin. Any thoughts, other than VM, on how to access cameras? My only other choice is QuickTime, I have never been able to get that working and I...

    Confused about correct firmware file

    According to the camera web gui the model number I have XC-2142FWDI. My invoice says I bought a 2142FWD-I-4MP WDR At Hikvision USA site there is no 'XC-2142', but there is 'DS-2142'.

    How do I configure Firefox/Linux/VLC to work?

    HikVision 7716NI & 2142FWD cameras. As noted in many posts, when connecting with a non-IE browser one cannot use Live View or Playback. Connecting to a camera from Firefox in Linux offers choice of VLC and Quicktime in addition to WebComponents (presumably Win only). With VLC installed I...
