Hikvision DS-7208HGHI-SH - How to set 720p/1080p main stream?

[gp79]

Hi,

I have a legacy Hikvision DS-7208HGHI-SH DVR with 7 cameras (all Hikvision Turbo HD 720p) that I have integrated with Blue Iris via RTSP.

My issue is that for the life of me I cannot set the stream resolution of the Turbo HD cameras to 720p - the max the DVR shows is 960*575 (960H) - about half the resolution that they should be (as below):



According to the spec of the DVR, it is supposed to support 720p real time, and 1080p non-real time - see below:



Any ideas as to how to set the resolution to 720p would be greatly appreciated.

I've also made sure I am on the latest firmware that he DVR supports:

All sounds bizarre! Seems you have cameras that are not capable of those resolutions that the DVR can support. I would isolate the RTSP for BI, just in case it's causing a conflict?

It is really bizarre - I have tried isolating the BI stream.

Only thing I can think left to try is to isolate with a single test camera (there are other 960H units also connected)

3 of the cameras in question are as below - definitely 720p capable...

In actual fact I think you are correct that the camera is causing the issue. I checked on an un-used channel and could select right up to 1080p.

The coax cabling to the camera is rather old so will test with a new piece and also CAT5e with trancievers.

Thanks for the suggestions.
