Just be aware this config "might" give you issues with "other" DHCP devices in your network. I'm thinking you might have 2 functioning DHCP Servers in your network.... in which case, it's a race to see which DHCP Server responds first.... and then it's a guess on what IP address you might get...

And if one really wants to get into the weeds on this: SSH into the NVR and run the command --> netstat -an Output should include the "noted" line below. If it does, the NVR is listening & should respond to SADP. If the line is not there, NVR won't respond to SADP. (same technique applies...

To add what Phil has suggested: SADP (like any scanner program) only works for devices within the same Broadcast Domain / VLAN SADP performs a multicast broadcast using the 239.255.255.xxx network Some routers (e.g. home routers) block "multicast" packets, by default. It may be worthwhile to...

Dear HIK Developers (if you're still following this thread).... FWIW, the time shown on the Time Sync Diagnosis web page is erroneous. The "time before sync" is accurate or at least reasonably close to real time.... but the "time after sync" fails to correctly account for the DST Bias of 60...

JB1970, thx for your comments. You've raised some interesting points. FWIW, I've gone down a number of rat holes trying to figure this abnormality out. I'll comment on your questions first: is there any chance it is genuine A: yes, arguably, in my case, it seems the error messages might be...

FWIW, I suspect this also occurred prior to v5.03.010. A review of my DS-7616NI-M2 LOG records, I find (what looks to me) "literally" 1000's of bogus ANR Record Exception records. The attached file is a short 15 minute snippet from my LOG. Most timestamps are so far in the past, the...

via the WEB UI interface on v5.03.010.... navigate here: Device Access --> Device --> Video Device --> ...more --> Virtual Host Configuration

FWIW, I suspect this occurred prior to v5.03.010, BUT it caught my attention today. For me, EVENT MARKERS in PLAYBACK are off by an hour (i.e. event markers are +1 hour from actual) For example: via WEB UI go to Live View.... all Live View time stamps show the correct DST times go to...

Just installed the 5.02.006 version. My alarm output count was at 7 before (with 5.02.005), and remains at 7 after (with 5.02.006). The extra counts may well be related to the camera's speaker & strobe, although in my case the alarm output counts didn't change. Color me puzzled on this one...

Is it just me ? or is the Number of Alarm Outputs incorrect ? My NVR = 1 alarm output Camera 1 = 1 alarm output Camera 2 = 1 alarm output By my count, that equals 3 alarm outputs, yet the HIK firmware suggests the count = 7. Am I missing something ?

I too had initial problems getting Live View to work with my Chrome browser. Seems Live View does not start automatically. That said, (with firmware 5.02.005) I was able to get Live View operational. In simple terms, just manipulate the Icons (circled in yellow, see pic) and Live View came...

Firmware Version V5.02.005 build 240318 --- from the WEB GUI using Chrome browser, a couple of items I still see outstanding. Arguably, they might be seen as low priority given all the headaches others have previously documented: Attempts to create a GUID file.... with a ".bin" extension...

I can't attest to what all they fixed in this new build. That said, Firmware Version V5.01.060 build 240202 did address the export / creation of the following files: export a "Backup" file export a "Diagnostic Information" file create a "GUID" file (found under User Management --> Account...

As was previously indicated, it's not normally needed / recommended BUT there are times when it aids in troubleshooting problems in the isolated NVR POE network. The basics: plug your laptop into a free POE port on the NVR (i.e. NOT the LAN port) verify the NVR served out a valid IP address to...

re: a single cable out of one of the 4 NVR ports into a switch etc...... Not a good idea for a few reasons: you're now pushing the 2 new cameras thru a single 100Mbs port. Not ideal, but it would (probably) work if you stay at 2 cameras. assuming this new switch is also plugged into your...
