Awesome. Thanks for the recommendation. Wow...looks like its not available till mid December. Guess another victim of supply chain availability...

Hi Folks, My existing NVR Hikvision DS-7616NI-Q2 I have a couple of LINOVISION MINI PTZ (DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3) which is a rebranded Hikvision PTZ 4MP 2.8mm-12mm lens. Power via POE. I have a free POE port on the NVR that I'll use. These cameras have been ok for several years - and the price is...

Ya, good old "security through obscurity" approach. All the security holes in their products makes it kind of an oxymoron to call them a security company.

Figured it out. Using developer tools, you can see where its posting in the configuration page through the web UI. So instead of http://<NVR-IP>/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/801/picture it is now (with new firmware) http://<NVR-IP>/ISAPI/ContentMgmt/StreamingProxy/channels/801/picture You can...

With the firmware update...I can actually play and use the interface with MS Edge now...I don't have to run in IE mode. So that is a good thing...at least progress in the right direction. Trying Chrome on Mac & Linux... Live View, Playback does not work. I don't have Chrome installed on my...

I was really hoping that with a firmware update I'd get out this need for IE support for the web UI. Its crazy that we are in 2022 and you have firmware that requires ActiveX controls in IE to work....crazy...But I digress...

You are right....I think "I told you so is in order". :) But in principle, I have to disagree. One of the challenges as a software developer, is getting customers to upgrade their software. All software has bugs and vulnerabilities. Our stance (for the last 3 companies I've worked for) has...

Opened up a support ticket with Hikvision. The only response from them was, who did I buy it from and who am I - installer,owner, reseller, etc. After that crickets. Nothing from them. I'm not sure 'who I bought it through' is relevant to my question, which is simply what is the new path/URL...

Thanks for pulling the strings / paths. I'll try some of these. But this makes a guy wonder....why in the heck would they change the URLs /paths between releases? What the heck are they thinking...especially if they don't release note it. But then again I'm assuming a lot here :rolleyes:

After some testing...the only thing this update/upgrade broke was my image access. Normally, I grab the images through another scripting tool I wrote using the following URL to the NVR: http://<NVR-IP>/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture But now I get the following response...

Well, I was really asking if there was any known issues...not theoretical issues. I did the update. Easy peasey. Done, no issues.

Hi folks, I'm looking to upgrade to the latest firmware; v3.4.108 to Firmware_V4.71.205. There is a 'c' and 'd' suffix posted on their page; not sure what the difference is. But in either case, is there any risk of me losing configuration on the NVR when upgrading this firmware? Or is it...

Main board is bad. Will not boot. PoE 48v DC is just fine from the power supply. No VGA, no HDMI...dead. Sent it in for warranty and Hikvision replaced the bad mainboard... -J

Also, tried disconnecting HDDs and nothing. They do have 12vDC to the HDD...but no +5V? i.e. Yellow and black +12vDC...but Red & Black nothing. Is this a common issue on these 7616's? Thanks.

I verified that the power supply is indeed working and supplying 12VDC to the mainboard and 52vDC to the POE supply side. But the board will not power up. So board is indeed the issue.

Folks, I have a 7616NI-Q2/16P that was working fine since December 2019...and today it just died. The power supply appears to be powering up, the fans are running...but no video output on VGA nor HDMI port. No Ethernet Link, and all the POE ports are dead. Taking the cover off, there is only a...

Unfortunately, those menu options are not available on the DS-KB8112-IM, just the models listed in the pdf in your link. Hikvision support said they may add SIP support in the future, but no commitment :confused:

Opened up a ticket with Hikvision...and it looks like they do NOT support a 3rd party SIP server at this time :confused:

Interestingly, if I use the Windows version of iVMS software, the is more options and the SIP server configuration is correctly in a different tab (Linked network Configuration) compared to the Mac version which placed it erroneously in the FTP configuration. But I still don't see a secret key...

Folks, I have a DS-KB8112-IM Door intercom that I'm using to stream video near the front door to my NVR. I'd like to integrate this to my SIP server (asterisk) and setup a dial plan so it will call an extension when the button is pressed. What is weird, is using the iVM-4200 software (Mac OS)...

But the manual states "Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of the NVR. " With most file systems it's not good to just pull the power cord. Usually a graceful shutdown is much preferred.

Is there a way to enable SSH via the ISAP or another method? Or am I stuck doing it through the web UI? Thanks, -J

So no concerns of corrupting the drive or filesystem? I guess I don't know what the filesystem is on these things to know if you need to worry or not.

Folks, Curious to what solution you are doing to shut down your NVRs gracefully when you have a loss of power. I would like to script something so that on a small Raspberry PI I could shutdown the NVR before powering everything off. Looking at the API all I see is rebooting is an option at...

Folks, I noticed that when I rebooted and started the SSH access on the NVR, that it appears that the host key changed. Is this expected behavior? $ ssh root@192.168.1.22 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @...

Robbe, Thanks for that info. I changed the substream to 20fps and the I frame interval to 20 and its working now. I'll let it bake for a few days and see if that was the issue or not; but at least changing this did not require a reboot to get my Live View back :) Thanks. -J

oh, I didn't realize that the sub-stream was used for the 9 or 16 tile mode. That explains a lot. Here is the current sub-stream settings:

Well, I think this was a red herring. After a few days, I see the same behavior...I can't see the DS-KB8112-IM video in the 9 or 16 title mode, but I can see it fine in single or 4 window pane. I tried rebooting the DS-KB8112-IM; that didn't do it. I rebooted the NVR and it started working...

Well, after searching around, it appears that the Hikvision NVR's do NOT support mjpeg from cameras...just RTSP. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/url-to-access-multiple-camears-via-mjpeg-with-hikvision-nvr.3309/ Maybe this is really hacky to try to make this work, but has anyone tried having an...

Folks, I just installed a Hikvision NVR7616NI-Q2. It works great with a bunch of new HikVision IPCAM's I installed and they are directly connected to the PoE ports on the back of the NVR. I have a couple of legacy old Foscam IPCAMs that are in a wireless location that I'd like to see about...
