Document, Post, Print your Favorite or Present Hik IP Camera Settings

[Bradmph]

As you can see I have too much time on my hands and when this happens, I create.
This document might help some people that want to document their Hik Configuration & Blue Iris Video Configurations. This document can also help determine issues you are having when asking question in this forum. It is always a good idea to post system specifications so that a member can better determine what might be causing the problems.
If you have issues with your Hikvision camera settings:
Copy and paste this list below into a notepad page or download the zip file of this entire listing of settings and fill it out, then paste it into your forum request posting so it can help determine your request. Having your settings handy instead of reopening the Hikvision page over and over is also another good use for this document. You can print it out and add or make changes as you wish.

What I initially created it for was to maybe have some of the more experienced IP Camera Gurus here post their settings for compare. Copy and Paste and fill it in and post it. I would certainly like to try some of the more experienced peoples settings, so I can keep the tail chasing limited as much as possible.
So, if you feel like posting your favorite or present settings, it's not mandatory, but Please do so I can start trying some of them out on my system.

Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure how helpful it will be because in my experience, every camera is different. I can have 2 of the same model Hikvisions sitting beside each other with the exact scene, yet the images look different when on the exact settings. I tried it with one set and had to crank the brightness up to 65 on one to match the same level of brightness that the other had at 50. Also, it seems the slightest differences in lighting and/or changes in what is being filmed can require a setting adjustment to look it's best.

In addition, and in my experience, like cameras deployed at different locations require different settings; one size does not fit all deployment scenarios.
