Hi guys I did an earlier post (HikVision NVR DS-7608NI-SE/P with NEW HikVision 4 MP camera - will it work?) which I guess was too specific regarding NVR and cam - so I am rephrasing my question: Does anyone have any (good or bad) experience connecting a new IP cam to an old NVR? "New" as in...

Hi! I have a HikVision NVR DS-7608NI-SE/P (firmware V3.0.10 build 141125) w. 5 Hikvision outdoor cams. I am considering adding a 6th camera; more specifically a Hikvision DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 2.8 - 12mm PTZ. I am aware that my NVR only supports H.264 (camera can encode w...

I was through all the (probably well-meant) recommendations from my supplier - changing HDD (from a WDC Purple drive to a Seagate SV35); playing with number of cams; playing with resolution and Motion Detection sensitivity (even though I was well below the limit for "incoming bandwidth" (max. 40...

Hi there Sorry if this (i.e., using different cameras/NVR via ONVIF) has already been covered somewhere else - please post a link if you have it! :) Anyway, my question is simple: I have a Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI-SE/P (firmware V3.0.10 build 141125) w. 5 Hikvision outdoor cams - but would like...

Hi! Some comments: - Are you absolutely sure the DS-7608NI-SE/P is with 8 (eight) PoE-ports?? I believe it should then be called DS-7608NI-SE/8P! I bought one under the clear impression that it would indeed have 8 PoE ports (I have 5 cams - HikVision DS-2CD2132-I) - but it turned out only to...

Hi guys, I have searched in vain for some info on doing (or NOT doing!) a firmware-upgrade of my 5 cams. I have the following: As you can see, all cams have firmware V5.1.0 - but different builds! What worries me is that on HikVisions portal, only V5.1.0 build 131202 is available - i.e...

Neat! I would however recommend this: http://www.swissinno.com/en/rodents/rat/rat-trap-supercat/description.html - that is, if it is available at your location. VERY efficient at doing what it's supposed to do! :D PS! Remember to tie your trap to something - I have (or had!) 2 traps in the...

Just did a bandwidth calculation using http://www.jvsg.com/ip-camera-calculator/ - and my 5 cams should "only" be able to provide a total of ~37 Mbit/s running full 3 Mp; 24 fps; H.264-10 compression (high quality). The NVR should be able to handle 40 Mbit/s "incoming"...?!?! :notrust:

Super-cool - thanks! :cool: I'm just a little surprised about your apparent low-single-digit percentage CPU load? :wondering: What do you have on the NVR (no. of cams; resolution; frame rate)?? As mentioned above, I run at ~60% CPU load with my 5 x 3 Mp cams...

Thanks - I'll fit in the dummys category in the telnet-regard, I think.. :D

Hmm... what resolution & frame rate are you running the 8 cams with?

Does it "only" reboot - or does it actually go into a coma (i.e., becomes non-contactable)? Have you tried looking in the Log to see what it has reported (think you would need to search for "Major Type: Operation" around the time of the problem)? What is your setup (i.e., how many cams at what...

The HDD (WD Purple 10PURX) is the successor to a 2011 WD drive approved by HikVision - so don't believe this is an issue (even though the distributor is also pushing for me to replace the HDD - would hate to shell out another $100,- for a new drive, though :(). I have now lowered the res for 3...

Thanks for the suggestions - my comments: * Got 5 3 Mp cams (DS-2CD2132-I) connected - should be "within operating limits"?? * The HDD is a brand-new 1 Tb purple ("24/7") WDC drive - so should(!) not be an issue. I might try to switch it just to see what happens.. * Telnet - hmm... that will...

Hi guys, I am still trying to figure out what's wrong with my NVR, as it frequently enters a coma. Anyway, I tried extracting information from the NVR log, searching for Major Type "Operation", and Minor Type "Local: Abnormal Shutdown". This is what I found (NVR was installed 15 November, with...

Yeah, that's my point - I kind of miss my old VCR-based system, which went on for 10+ years with only minor issues. What exactly do you mean by controlling an outlet remotely? I have considered buying a UPS - but would hate to shell out $70+ on potentially "nothing" (especially since we haven't...

Hi guys, Some months ago, I had a great ordeal with my new HikVision DS-7608NI-SE/P dying on me - and even a replacement unit also dying. Anyway, I received back a re-installed PCB from HikVision, which I then installed in my NVR and got back in business. Firmware is now V2.3.9 build 140820...

I agree - "if it works, don't fix it!". However, it seems that 5.2.0 offers some interesting features compared with 5.1.0: improved night vision, line crossing detection and intrusion detection... so I think it will be worth it (if the NVR supports it, that is!)

Hi! I have been searching for a general guide to what NVR software is compatible with what cam software - but so far in vain.. Maybe someone here can help? :) Sorry if this topic has already been covered a trillion times; I have just not been able to find anything authoritative in this regard...

Selv tak! :wink-new: Any speciel tips & tricks you can share using the TFTP tool? Do I just have to RTFM, or is there anything else to keep in mind..?

Seems TFTP (or tftpserv.exe, or whatever HikVision called it) has gone - but anyone who knows what HIKTOOL or "Auto Update Tool does"?? http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/index.php?dir=Software/00%20%20%20Software%20Tool%20Package/15%20%20%20Auto%20Update%20Tool/ Seems to completely lack...

Hmm... that's not good. I have no experience myself using this tool, but maybe http://www.hikvision.com/europe/support_more.asp?id=269 can help you. Should be available from their FTP-site (ftp://hikvisioneurope.com/portal/Technical%20Materials/Special%20Tools/), even though I cannot access the...

A few more pieces of correspondence in the tale of the broken NVR... From HikVision: "There are many factors would cause NVR freeze, I have no way to figure out the specific reason. However cut off the power immediately without shutdown is an usual one at least according to my experience.I use...

Hahaha... funny that you mention LHC - 5 minutes ago my 12-year old son just read (in Guinness' Book of World Records) about the computer power of the LHC! :) Only relation to LHC though is that I have made optical cables for them (and fibers subjected to radiation needs to be very rugged...

I know - but twice...?! :confused3: Would assume that someone else had had the same kind of experience (and that HikVision would know)?!

Just received info that the PCB of the 1st NVR had now been tested and seemed to perform OK - HikVision even made a video and put on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdemBKsxRPM&feature=youtu.be. It did however prompt me to write to the distributor with some comments and questions...

No luck yet... both PCBs have been returned to HikVision for detailed analysis. Seems they are quite puzzled about what has happened (gone wrong). Distributor did however suggest using surge suppressors between the NVR and my LAN, and would probably come up with something.

Nayr, I fully acknowledge and agree on what you are pointing out - very relevant issues! As for the layout of the AC power supply here in Denmark, it is not until recently that ground wires have been part of the installation in residential buildings. The bulk of residential buildings here are...

Just took a picture of the component-side of the PCB - everything seems OK..? I do not have any UPS/surge protection, but as already mentioned, power is quite stable here - have not had anything die due to surges etc. ("famous last words"?!?!). We have quite standardized 230 VAC supply here...

Very difficult to tell what has been overheated and what might be due to sub-standard soldering.. All components on the top-side looks pristine. It was a completely new unit with new power sup, as far as I can tell. Maybe I should plug the cams into the PoE switch I have, as you suggest - and...
