    Whats is the (C) in the naming of the models?

    Hello there. I noticed when I downloaded a firmware for my DS-7604NI-K1/4P that it says the firmware is for the DS-7604NI-K1/4P (C) model. I also noticed that for my camera, DS-2CD2086IU. There is also the same camera but with (C) at the end. Can I use the firmwares for the (C) models on my non...

    Do I need 4K decoding?

    The cameras that will be connected to that NVR are 4 1080 cameras and 1 4K camera. The one I have now is either 1 4K or 4 1080p from what I understand. So, will the 7608NI-I2 be an upgrade or not? What I dont understand is, if I connect 2 x 12MP cameras on the 7608NI-I2, will that max out the...

    Do I need 4K decoding?

    Thanks for the reply. This means that I do not need a DVR with better encoding? Also, which models are with 160Mbps? I see the DS-7608NI-I2 says 80/256Mbps. Is that sufficient? The camera I bought, is the DS-2CD2086G2-I(U) which is 4K and with 1/1.8 sensor. Thanks again.

    Do I need 4K decoding?

    Hello. I currently have the Hikvision DS-7604 which supports 4ch 1080p/1ch 4k decoding. I installed a new 4K (8MP) Hikvision camera on the DS-7604. From what I understand, the device now is struggling because it has 3 1080p and 1 4k cameras? Do I need a new one? For example the DS-7608 which...

    DS-2CD2086G2-IU, black car lights??

    Hello. Just upgraded from a regular 1080p Hik the 4k of the title. I noticed at night, the car lights (front and rear) appear black! Is that some kind of setting that I have to change? Thanks!

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    Aha. But from what you are saying and I understand, do I still have to connect the PoE ports (as normal ports) to the simple switch? Cant I just use the single network port of the NVR?

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    Well, it looks like, the cameras cannot access the network. Only the network can access the cameras. Do I have to use the PoE ports even when I connect the cameras to a PoE switch? Here is a schematic of what I was thinking of doing.

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    Well, found the problem! It appears that RIP is disabled by default on the Netgear R7000. I was reading many sites and RIP was mentioned in some of them. I then checked what RIP actually is and found out that it was disabled in my router. So, in case someone else has the same problem, the...

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    Apologies for what? You are helping me a lot! No, it does not mention anything! Question, before I buy a PoE switch. If I buy a PoE switch and hook the cameras on it, can I then add them to the NVR just like I have them now on the PoE ports of the NVR? Unfortunately, the tracert shows only the...

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    Well, 192.168.254.2-3-4 (the cameras) is not working. Ping gives no results. Tracert the same. I tried with firewall off, nothing. Virtual Host is enabled. I can access the cameras from 192.168.0.37:65002 for example. All the cameras have 254.1 as the gateway. When typing 192.168.254.1...

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    Almost have it sorted out. One question though. You say that I need to have the PoE channel in manual mode. Where do I change that setting? Thanks.

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    I understand what you're saying. But I did some reading and saw that if the cameras are connected on a PoE NVR, they must use the internal LAN of the NVR and they cannot use the external IP. Unless this is not the case anymore! Are your cameras PoE cameras? Dont mind the DHCP that is not...

    Are your cameras connected to an NVR?

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    Yes, they are IP cameras. They have the same IP, but different port. But what does this have to do with recording? The camera cannot access the server. Not the server the cameras.

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    The NVR is 192.168.0.37, after I enable the virtual host on the NVR for the cameras, the camera IP is 192.168.0.37:1000. The server is is 192.168.0.50 Subnet is 255.255.255.0 sever and nvr. Only program running is Bitdefender Antivirus Free, which I also disabled. Still nothing :(

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    Still nothing. Cant figure what could be wrong. Steps again are: Tried sharing the drive as it is (its a 199GB partition) with the name Camera1. Tried sharing a folder inside the drive named Camera1. Nothing. Enabled SMB1, still nothing. Tried adding a password to my user account. Its Alkis -...

    The password that you are using is the username/password of the account when you log in at the server?

    Trying to set up nethdd with SMB, not working at all!!

    Hello. I have tried many ways to add an HDD for the camera to record to. I read everything in the forum and tried everything. No luck. The OS is Windows 10, I have installed a new HDD and I created a partition of 199GB. Inside the partition, a folder named 2. The IP of the computer is...
