Having trouble deciding between ...... iDS-2CD7546G0-IZHSY 2.8-12mm and PCI-D14Z2HS 2.8-12mm Data sheets attached. Using it to see front yard and out to the tree line across the road, maybe 100ft distance. I don't see a whole lot of difference between them except one is $200 more and...

I need more light. My local electric company offers dusk-to-dawn security light installation on existing poles. I was thinking that instead of buying additional lighting or IR illumination I could just have the electric company stick a light on a pole on my property. The choices are: 100-Watt...

I have 3 Hikvision cameras, well actually 6 but one unit is a Panovu so has 4 inside it. I also have a spare PC, a switch, an NVR (Hikvision), spare monitor, keyboard, mouse and a wall plate close by with 3 open jacks where I could connect anything directly to my router in another room. I had...

I've downloaded XPro Essential+ and tried to load it several times. It always hangs up on IIS. I've gone to the Milestone site and set up IIS on my machine exactly as it shows on their site. Still no load. Is there possibly an undocumented trick to this?

I have a rental home next door that I need to keep an eye on as it's a magnet for vandals when not occupied. The furthest distance I need to clearly see a face at night is about 120ft. There is a single light source that marginally illuminates about the first 60ft of that. The HFOV I need is...

I have a Hikvision DS-2CD6D54FWD-IZHS running on the latest version of IVMS-4200. I've had the camera since 2019. Everything was working fine until a few days ago. The unit has 4 cameras in it and individually or all together randomly they will drop out and give the subject error. After a minute...

When setting up events which piece of equipment takes precedence? For example if I set up a Intrusion Detection event on the camera do I also have to duplicate those parameters in the NVR and IVMS-4200 or does one of them over rule the other? thanks

I am considering the purchase of the DS-2DE4A425IW-DE. The Spec Sheet says: Angle of View, Horizontal field of view: 57.6° to 2.5° (wide to tele); vertical field of view: 34.4° to 1.4° (wide to tele); diagonal field of view: 64.5° to 2.9° (wide to tele) When I go to IPVM Camera Calculator V3...

My current setup is Cameras>NVR>PC (IVMS-4200) MY NVR does all the recording. IVMS on my PC only "sees" the NVR and I can adjust some camera settings using IVMS. I would like to access the camera web GUI to get to all of the settings from the PC but not sure how to do it. I'm guessing that in...

I have my Hik cameras going into my Hik NVR. The NVR is connected to a PC that runs IVMS-4200. The NVR just acts as the recorder. I have a Hik DS-1005K joystick that I used to use in a different configuration but in the above configuration I can't get it to work. I've plugged it into both USB...

My system consisted of the following, Cameras-NVR-Router-PC. I had used an old spare router just to make that connection between the NVR and PC. The system was not connected to the internet (WiFi or LAN) nor did I want it to be. The router died the other day so I am considering getting a...

Hello I have a Hik DS-2CD6D54FWD-IZHS. I had it plugged into a switch and could see all 4 cameras of the unit through IVMS. Today I received my Hik NVR DS-7608NI-I2 and hooked up that same camera unit to it but could only see one of the four cameras. I then hooked up the NVR into the switch and...

Can you put a POE midspan in line with an NVR POE port? Will it hurt anything? thanks

Partitioned the HDD on my dedicated CCTV machine. Gave the Storage Server it's own drive and "formatted" it per the instructions. It did well recording trigger events for about 4 hours but hasn't recorded anything for a couple days though I can see when my cameras trigger on motion detection...

Hello, just installed this Hikvision DS-2CD6D54FWD-IZHS. Fenderman helped me yesterday solve a display issue (thanks) but I have another. In BI I have a single intermittent pixelated band in the same place on all 4 camera displays. I don't have it when I look at the camera with the Hikvision...

Hello, I just installed the Hikvision DS-2CD6D54FWD-IZHS and can get all 4 cameras to show on a quad window in Hikvision webviewer but I can only get 1 camera out of the 4 to show up in BI. If someone has an idea how to configure BI so I can see all 4 cameras please let me know. thanks

If you have a broken one or the other please let me know. thanks

I'm considering the purchase of this camera and was looking through the installation guide. Unfortunately it only has pictures and no words. If there is anyone with experience with this camera or similar multi-camera configuration, can you operate it just with an ethernet cable or do you need...

Hello I just installed a DS-2DE7530IW-AE and was wondering if anyone else had one and what their image and CCD settings were.

I have a couple fixed focal length 2MP Hikvision IP cameras hooked up to an NVR that have worked quite well for the past 4 years......... even caught a burglar once. I am now in need of a new camera that I need to do more than keep watch on an area, I need an outdoor PTZ that would let me zoom...

I've had my setup for over a year, even caught a burglar last November (he's doing 12 months and 24 months home det) When I put everything together I just connected it and let it run, didn't adjust the camera settings , e.g. frame rate (didn't know you could) and haven't upgraded firmware...

Never set up an CCTV system so am a little confused by the instructions/capabilities. Hope someone can help My gear: DS7604 NVR DS-2cd2312-I-4mm EXIR camera The camera is PoE. I "thought" that meant it would receive power over ethernet (similar to USB) but the cable coming out of the camera...
