In the camera management, they are set to ONVIF - although there is a setting 'Hikvision', they do not connect using that option.. If they should record there must be another setting I have wrong as they don't record.

I have a DVR (iDS-7204HUHI-K1 / 4S(B)) with 6 cameras connected two of which are Jennov IP cameras. The two IP cameras do not record to the DVR although they show up in the Web GUI and in the HIK-Connect app. The settings for recording appear to be the same as those for the other 4cameras, all...

Thanks - I have installed Hik Connect and found the answer to my query Once again, thanks. I discovered that there was an option for action on Motion detection which was not set. Ihad to set it 3 times before it stayed set - but now the camera works on motion detection. Your explanation about...

Thanks - that clarified the issue. What made it more confusing is that I was using the Play Store App from Hikvision - IVMS-4500, which is totally different to HIK-Connect. (Why so many apps - confusing). The main reason why he asked for access is that one of the 4 ports on the DVR does not...

I have a DVR (iDS-7204HUHI-K1 / 4S(B)) and am having problems with it dropping camera connections regularly and at random. It has done this since I bought it a couple of months ago. The tech engineer wants to access it remotely to have a look and says this in his e-mail - go on your HIKconnect...

I have an older Hikvion 4 channel 2MP DVR installed with 3x 2MP analog cameras, 1x 5MP camera and one 2MP IP camera. I need to add a camera but as the DVR only as 4 channels and will take only 1 IP camera I have to look at an alternative and in doing so look at increasing quality of recording...

Problem is that I have a mix of cameras at present - 3 analogue and 2 IP and a limit to the budget for upgrading at the moment. Unless I can find a way to connect analogue cameras to a NVR then I will have to spend even more money on new cameras to replace them.

I am considering upgrading our 2MP Hikvision DVR as we have acquired 2 5MP cameras from which we do not get the full benefit. I have been offered 2 different Hikvision 8MP units but there is a vast difference in the prices. I am not very knowledgeable about DVR's so perhaps some of you could...

Thanks. I can now see the system in Edge. However, when I go to 'System settings in the GUI I see that the firmware is V3, but when I run the 'Update' it reports that there are none and the DVR is using the latest for that device. When I went to the Camera Management I saw there was an IP...

I have inherited a HikVision DS-7204HQHI-K1DVR with 4 cameras. (It was here when we bought the house recently) I have found that the Web GUI does not work because the unit has old firmware that requires a plugin for Internet Explorer and won't work with anything else - any solution suggestions...
