    Hikvision Virtual Host with non-Hik ONVIF cameras

    I'll give that a try if I can borrow another phone from the household - my router can only be accessed through an app and my mobile was stolen last week; this also means I can't use the 2-way audio output to cameras either due to the unusual setup in which the RCA input to the NVR can't be...

    Incorrect Time on Hikvision DS-7716NI-E4 After Power Down

    Another update on this.... at 4.05 this morning the Sricam time jumped back to +1 hour. This is somewhat unusual not just for randomly jumping forward again but also at the time it occurred - as the time sync for that camera is set at 2am and then every 6 hours

    Hikvision Virtual Host with non-Hik ONVIF cameras

    I am running a Hikvision DS-7716NI-E4/16P NVR with an array of various cameras and a DS-6704HUHI-K encoder connected either through a LAN switch or the onboard PoE ports. The NVR is on the latest firmware version. As I had got the cameras before the NVR I had set up the cameras to check they...

    Incorrect Time on Hikvision DS-7716NI-E4 After Power Down

    Little update... the encoder connected cameras are once again 6 seconds behind the others! NVR, encoder, and all other Hik cameras on the system are on exactly the same NTP settings As with the encoder, I've got the NVR and this camera both on uk.pool.ntp.org though the Sricam has no setting...

    Incorrect Time on Hikvision DS-7716NI-E4 After Power Down

    That is a strong possibility, lol. The time does now seem to be showing right now after any reboot or power down event. Interestingly putting in 1.uk.pool.ntp.org or any of those others listed in the NTP setting for my samsung/wisenet cameras brings up an 'incorrect server' message - quite...

    Incorrect Time on Hikvision DS-7716NI-E4 After Power Down

    Must've been an outdated page I saw then when... as a google searchg at the time showed 'server1' or 'server2' as the addresses.... although worth noting that for the Sricam camera I have used time.windows.com and and just pool.ntp.org and still get the same issue

    Incorrect Time on Hikvision DS-7716NI-E4 After Power Down

    I have the above NVR set up for my home system, after a while of it on bench test with a few cameras connected to it. During testing I didn't notice this issue, however now a little bug has popped up. About 2 weeks ago we had a power cut (I am yet to sort out a UPS), and so the power went out...

    DS-2CD2H35FWD-IZS Audio Problems

    I have the above camera type fitted but am having issues getting the audio input to work (1-way audio) When turning on the sound, all I hear is a constant throbbing noise whilst any actual sound from outside is either not being picked up at all or is drowned out completely. There is no internal...

    Wisenet / Samsung IP cameras and 2-way audio

    Update - I've now tried another camera on the system which has a built-in microphone AND a built-in speaker. The 2-way audio works fine on the web GUI for the camera itself (and a microphone icon shows up on the camera feed image), but once again trying to activate the "talk" function on...

    Wisenet / Samsung IP cameras and 2-way audio

    The audio input jack socket for these cameras is basically line in, and the manual reads as if this is to be used as an alternative to the built-in microphone for if an amplified mic is being used. There is no built-in speaker, instead there is a pigtail connection marked as "Speaker" to which I...

    Wisenet / Samsung IP cameras and 2-way audio

    the camera has a built-in microphone to send audio to the NVR - and that works fine.... it's talkback from Hikconnect to the audio output on the camera that seems to be troublesome. I've tried it on iSpy too and there's nothing.

    Wisenet / Samsung IP cameras and 2-way audio

    I have a Samsung PNF-9010RV and a Wisenet XNF-8010R fisheye camera (one is 12mp, the other 6mp) and am having issues with the audio interface. Getting sound FROM the cameras is fine, though the Samsung one is a fair bit quieter than the newer Wisenet one.... My problem is getting any audio TO...

    Hikvision DS7716NI-E4 and using 2-way audio

    I've figured it out - mostly... the disabled icon is not actually a microphone but something else, and I couldn't see that because it was too faint to see what it was! The 2-way audio on the Web GUI is only between the web client and the local control room (the NVR audio output) and NOT to the...

    Hikvision DS7716NI-E4 and using 2-way audio

    Hello, I have been setting up this NVR on a test station with a few cameras connected to ensure it all works before committing to the installation, and have come up with a new problem. All the cameras I have fitted, either using Hikvision or ONVIF protocol, have a full audio interface so as to...

    Adding non-Hik cameras to Hikvision NVR PoE ports

    I've been applying firmware updates to the DS-7716NI-E4/16P as it had been on version 3.4.80 which was a few years old. versions 3.4.82 and 3.4.90 were applied without issue. But from version 3.4.92 there started being some issues around the 12mp camera on port 1.... This includes firmware...

    Adding non-Hik cameras to Hikvision NVR PoE ports

    As an update.... I've been looking into the settings on each camera, and despite having left them as default when I'd set DHCP on it turns out that one camera had completely different DNS settings to the other. After setting the DNS on both the 6mp fisheye and the encoder to match those on the...

    Adding non-Hik cameras to Hikvision NVR PoE ports

    Here's the odd thing, I have selected ONVIF and initially nothing happened with either camera, including one which I had then set a static IP address on the camera web interface. I checked an hour later and still "NO LINK" showing so I called it quits for the day and went to bed.... about 10...

    Adding non-Hik cameras to Hikvision NVR PoE ports

    I'm messing around with a DS7716NI-E4/16P NVR and currently testing which cameras will connect to it. Cameras connected by an external switch can be added to the NVR without issue using the manual adding method, but I'm finding issues trying to use the built-in PoE ports. Firmware version...

    Besder / Xiongmai camera questions

    As I say, it was ridiculously cheap - barely a quarter of the price of the cheapest Hilook turret cam with white light (which doesn't have an audio interface - ones with white light and 2-way audio are almost 8-10x what I payed for this). If there's any pointers about closing ports so as to...

    Besder / Xiongmai camera questions

    I'm having a look through that at the moment.... It has discovered the camera as well as an Avigilon H3 dome I have connected. For this chinesium camera I have gone to "Network Settings" and updated the NTP server, which has gone through OK - but the setting for "HTTP Ports", I selected that to...

    Besder / Xiongmai camera questions

    Hello, I have a dirt cheap Besder branded IP turret cam (3004PW-XMTG201) which is basically a rebadged Xiongmai thing. I can connect it to my network with a reserved DHCP address, and I can access it through iSpy on my main PC - though oddly it shows the ONVIF port as being 8899. But both the...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Just tried the web GUI and it seems to be normal... except that when I tried to export the device parameters (as a download file) that triggered a reboot. When it had fully rebooted I tried again and got the same result. Also, the system time is an hour ahead despite me having DST turned off...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    At the moment I've not logged in to see the web GUI, but the local UI seems to be as expected. EDIT navigating in the browser to the Web GUI and it does bring up a login screen, though I have not gone any further on that as yet __ As for "actually working", it still seems to have a fairly...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Doing the firmware transfer has gone through but it still does the reboot loop. At one point it shows a prompt for a list of the system commands, and these are what comes up: Enter 'help' for a list of DVR/NVR system commands. # psh open !!! ----------<1> tar all res ---------- cpu_name...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Doing a system restart from having erased the environment variables is still causing a reboot loop... but with a boat load more feedback through the terminal software to the point where there is a considerable lag. Also, the screen resolution still changes from 1024x768 to 1920x1080 during boot...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Yesterday I put in a replacement capacitor, at the same value as all the ones around it (bit of a guesstimate there, but worth a crack) - and I also noticed that the connection for the capacitor also included a link through from the topside of the motherboard to the underside and yet part of the...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    I've only just seen your reply, so I'll have a look at this either during the daytime or on sunday. I've had the motherboard out though, as I was going to go over it with a magnifying lens to see if there was a cracked solder joint or similar.... and it looks as if somebody has been at this...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    well thanks for helping up to this point anyway. If it had been doing this loop right from the outset then it would have been easier to write it off, but because it had originally started up and got to the grid screen (complete with a password reset) it's annoying for it to now be pretty much...

    DS-7708NI-I4/8P Reboot Loop (Hikvision)

    Turns out I had made a note of the firmware when I first got the NVR - 4.61.020.... I have tried flashing that version back onto the NVR, it went through OK but still got the same reboot loop. I have then tried flashing firmware 4.61.025 onto it... again, the update went through fine but it is...
