Ive also tried the SADP tool which i downloaded from the Hikvision website, but it seems to only detect my one Hikvision camera, the other 4 cameras that I have are non branded Onvif cameras.

My Hikvision NVR (DS 7608) plug and play, changed my Onvif cameras all to 192.168.254.2xx when plugging them into the PoE ports. I can see the cams using Onvif manager after changing my laptop network IP to 192.168.254.200 and plugging the laptop network cable into a spare PoE port. However, I...

hmm, still not sure if my NVR allowes this, when i go to a web browser and input the NVR ip address which is 192.168.1.5 I get greeted with the NVR log in screen and after logging in, all the settings that the NVR has to offer, but none of which allows me to gain direct access to the camera...

I can't seem to find a "pass through to camera" option in the menu can you please advise what first menu option its located in? my NVR is a Hikvision DS-7608

Do you mean on the camera or the NVR? I did adjust the substream on the camera to its highest which is still under standard definition quality, and the picture is still very poor. I can't find anywhere to adjust the substream on the NVR though.

Funny in my case i picked up the box where the camera came in and noticed that it had the password printed on it. So thats one problem out of my way, but now i'm faced with yet another or compressed poor picture quality in live view split screen mode, so i started a new thread about that.

I have since discovered that the poor compressed picture is only present when viewd as a split screen, if the same camera is viewd at full screen, the image is superb, but I need the image as split screen, with it being the larger image with 4 smaller immages. The other cheap cameras don't...

Hi guys, ive just installed this new camera which is 3MP onto the PoE ports of my DS-7608 NVR The recorded images are superb, sharp and clear, but the live view looks very compressed and an extreme lack of detail. I don't have this issue with live view of my cheap Onvif cameras, they are clear...

great, I got it working. the password was 123456789abc but it tells me it's weak, but I can't find the place where you can update and choose your own password. thanks

Hi, is there a UK phone help line for Hikvision? I need to speak to a person regarding talking me through how to get one of their ip cameras to work. I just bought a brand new sealed Hikvision camera, and connected it to my POE port but my Hikvision nvr did not connect with it by using via plug...

I was just wondering if the seperate network port can be used to record cameras on the network via a switch, or does this unit only support recording and monitoring via the 8 PoE ports?

because i plugged the cheap ebay cameras directly into the PoE ports straight away, without first plugging them into my network, could it have been the NVR that changed their IP address to 192.168.254.2** ? because I read that the cameras come from the factory with a preset IP of 192.168.1.100...

What are the logon credentials? is it the same as the camera in question, which is default as admin and password left blank? its not for my Hikvision camera, but i need to configure my cheap ebay Onvif cameras which have the aforementioned logon credentials.

Hi again, sorry to be a pain, but i'm still hoping you can help with a problem of accessing my cameras inorder to access camera settings within the cameras. I can view the cameras perfectly on the PoE ports as explained. I have done what @alasterstevenson instructed me to do by detecting the...

the camera is for a shop and i need to look back at what was said if i get a problem customer, so i need sound as proof to what was said, not to spy.

this is terrible news as i have a really sensitive analog mic which i was hoping to use, and cameras with built in mics are few and far between, and the ones i have found cost over £100 I'm thinking i should have gone down the AHD route as its more compatible and easier to set up and reliable...

when i last tried it, i looged into the camera gui and it took me to the password screen, and i had 5 attempts to enter the correct password, but each time i entered a wrong PW the attempt counter counted down, so i currently have 2 chances left. But i also notice that on the SADP screen the...

sorry i don't understand what you mean. There is an analog audio in jack and an analog audio out jack, what is the audio in jack used for if not to feed audio into the nvr to record and monitor?

If i had known that an NVR is a dumb unit apposed to a DVR i would never have bought one. I now lean that it can't record audio, even though it has an audio in jack on the rear, this is driving me nuts too, first it don't detect motion, now it won't record audio from the input jack. Why could...

I have the same issue, did you ever manage to sus it out?

Hi again, apart from camera setup problems, I also have a "no audio" issue. I have managed to get 3 cameras working with video, but these cameras don't have built in mic's so i have installed a preamplified mic next to one of the cameras and inserted the photo plug into the audion in socket at...

in that case yes i did try the default passwords, but when i first switched it on, i thought the password was admin, so i put that in twice, and then i thought it might be asking me to choose a password, so i put in a personal password, and it then said i tried 3 times and now i'm locked out...

what exactly is "the web GUI" and no i havent asked the seller yet but i will do right now.

useless, its asking me to input the password on sadp to save the new ip address, but the camera is still locked out. I have sent Hikvision the "Device key" XML doccument, as instructed to do so on SADP but Hikvision have to replied back to me. I find this rediculous having to rely on Hikvision...

Ok thanks thats really helpful, i will try this tomorrow first thing, but can you please tell me what the camera password should be, as i have entered it incorrectly 3 times and it locked me out. i cant remember if one of the three entries was 12345, but i remember trying admin, twice thinking...

I forked out for a Hikvision branded camera, to see if that works with motion detection. It arrived today, but i'm having a hell of a time trying to get the NVR to detect it, it just wont work even though its supposed to be plug and play. I started another thread about that.

I have a Hikvision DS-7608 NVR and today a new Hikvision camera arrived, It is a DS-2CD2122FWD-I I understood that connecting a brand for brand camera into the PoE ports should enable plug and play, but in my case this did not happen. If I try manual setup, I need to enter the IP address, but...

So would it not have been less troublesum and less head scratching if the designers of the nvr had supported onboard motion detection as they did with the SDI system? This would have allowed all brands of ip cameras to be simply used as a camera apposed to a smart camera. Why couldn't the nvr...

Hi Guys, I'm totally new at this ip stuff, I recently replaced my SDI cctv system (due to its unreliability) to an IP NVR system. I opted for the Hikvision DS 7608 NVR, but due to budget i bought 5 IP cameras from ebay from China, these are branded as "Onsoo" but are Onvif branded too and...

Hi guys I just joined because i recently bought a NVR and IP cameras, no matter what they say, they are NOT simply plug and play like a coax system, they are nothing but stressful to setup, hoping to get some advice from you experienced guys and i'll be posting in the appropriate forums next. thanks
