    Anyone can help enhance image?

    An example of bp2008's point when using AI to enhance footage: Using the wheel as an example you can see why accuracy will be called into question.

    ISAPI Access previous day data

    Yes, you can view recorded footage from the NVR via ISAPI for a certain time period. With some testing and effort probably a picture too provided the image was part of a triggered event. Going the ISAPI route might be reinventing the wheel in a sense when you have the ability via the webGUI or...

    Worth it? - DS-7608NI-E2/8P

    Yes, it will record all 8 streams at 4K. My understanding is decoding refers to the NVRs playback limit and does not affect recording.

    Controlling when Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW PTZ Camera runs its Pan / Tilt / Zoom Test

    Try the following: Disconnect the Ethernet connector at the pigtail. Check for moisture/debris and make sure you hear a click when reconnecting it. If you are using a PoE injector, disconnect the Ethernet cable and make sure it's seated correctly when you reconnect it. Check if the problem is...

    Controlling when Hikvision DS-2DE4A425IW PTZ Camera runs its Pan / Tilt / Zoom Test

    I don't see a reference to the Test feature in the documentation. Might be a patrol, pattern or preset that is scheduled. Are you able to access the webGUI of the camera?

    plates vehicle Detect

    This works for me using Talend API tester (similar to POSTMAN) in Chrome: Method POST http://admin:yourPassword@192.168.1.xx/ISAPI/Traffic/channels/1/vehicleDetect/plates Body: <AfterTime> <picTime>2020-03-07T21:00:00Z</picTime> </AfterTime> Result:

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    We have a confirmed case in South Africa. Won't be long before it's in my neck of the woods. Cape Town has one major public hospital and less than a handful of smaller, ill-equipped hospitals servicing more than 4.5 million people. When Black Friday became a 'thing' in South Africa around 2016...

    Via Talend/curl/Postman, Amend the following to your admin credentials and camera IP. To switch off IR feature entirely: PUT http://admin:yourPassword@192.168.1.xx/ISAPI/System/Hardware Body: <IrLightSwitch> <mode>close</mode> </IrLightSwitch> To switch on IR: PUT...

    Yeah. Looking for wireless setup w/dvr 6-8 camera's. need help

    As you mentioned, do you really need this struggle? WiFi cameras come with baggage, spare yourself the support headaches and run Ethernet cables. We had a similar situation were the client refused external runs and the crawl space in the roof was 3 feet at the highest point then tapered toward...

    arming schedule changes

    To narrow down the issue - What firmware are they on? Are the notifications via email, Hikconnect app or third-party software? Which browser are you using to configure the settings?

    Small light "orbs" and motion detection

    Those bright orbs are usually bugs attracted to the IR lights. Camera models? A post of the detection area and motion settings from the webGUI would help too.

    What kind of video recording system do really large buildings use?

    Is there any branding on the cameras?

    turn off IR using API

    Via the camera's webGUI, go to Configuration>Network>Advanced Settings>Integration Protocol. Enable CGI and set authentication to digest/basic. For ISAPI, enable ONVIF and create a user with the same credentials as the admin login.

    Need help getting RTSP and username password for rebranded Hikvision to uniden APPCAM 40 PT

    You most likely need to enable ISAPI on the camera via the webGUI and create a user account to access the RTSP stream. Have you tried admin/123456 or admin/12345678 as the default logins? Is there a reset button next to the Ethernet plug?

    Long range system

    If you can provide a rough diagram of the buildings layout at location A and location B it would help drafting a proposal. 30 cameras should be manageable with the right wireless kit and NVR. The cellular network should be fine for remote viewing, alerts and event playback if configured correctly.

    turn off IR using API

    It can be done by via ISAPI after enabling the common gateway interface (CGI) protocol on the camera. Using curl or a HTTP request the ircutFilter can be manually set. Are you developing an app or would controlling the setting via your browser be sufficient?

    Hikvision new software help

    iVMS-4200's storage server would not be my recommendation for a PC based recorder. If you haven't already, check out Blue Iris. Its superior on many levels. In my experience the storage server components do not always start on reboot. Windows updates, especially Windows 10, occasionally mess...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Any thoughts on the rush for an effective treatment? Reports of anti-HIV drugs like Kaletra and antimalarial drugs like Chloroquine to treat COVID-19 are surfacing. Layman logic perhaps but if COVID-19 responds to antiviral drugs, could they reduce the viral load to undetectable levels resulting...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    I had not heard of ZeroHedge prior to this thread. Am I wrong in saying it's a news agregator? Lol at Tyler Durden, fight club reference I assume. What really broadsided me was the comments. Wow, no idea what to make of it.

    Reading number plates (not ANPR)

    Our LPR camera is a 2MP set to 15fps. It aggregates multiple frames in the detection area to accurately register the plate. Many of our entry level cameras are able to display the plates of passing cars so I'm wondering if the issue is not codec/frame rate related. What are your Annke "4k" settings?

    SADP unusable

    I tried on my PC, loading SADP first then iVMS - iVMS then SADP, both devices detected with no errors regardless of the load order. Must be a bug in Hik's Mac version of their software. Interesting though, when SADP was running iVMS would not auto-login, it wanted me to manually enter the...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Hikvision sales are a sizable portion of our business. I contacted my distributors today and a couple of them expressed concern about replenishment of stock. Hikvision has factories/offices in Zhejiang and Hubei provinces, both are on lock down due to COVID-19. No doubt the virus will have an...

    recovering ivms admin password using encrypted string

    Provided you can connect locally to the client's LAN, you could try the following. Install Hikvision's SADP tool onto your laptop. Connect to the client' s LAN and run the tool. If SADP discovers some of the devices we can try the next step. In the example below, the info listed in the Software...

    recovering ivms admin password using encrypted string

    If the client(s) have agreed to you taking over the camera/NVR management contract, what reason does the previous provider give that justifies withholding the credentials? If they outright refuse to help, there may be work-arounds but they often come with a lot of ‘ifs’.

    Ssh into nvr behind firewall.

    We setup up something similar at a few client sites. We created a L2TP/IPsec VPN using Mikrotik routers. Client sites connect to a dedicated IP on our side allowing us direct access to the camera networks. Our mobile devices are able to connect to the VPN and manage the NVR/Cameras/Routers but...

    How was the device initially activated? Did you use SADP or via the webGUI? What is the device?
