Cool, thanks for update, I was on V5.7.4 build 220509, will try the new one. @mozley Can you kindly post the link to the firmware ? I could not find it under the E8 platform mentioned in OP.

For one of the G2 models in our lab, this is true, setting of exposure 1/200 induces banding, and keeping it at 1/50 or less almost clears it, with 50Hz. Have not tried 60Hz with that, will try. for the customer installation, the DS-2CD3321G0-I was initially at 1/25 (thats the default setting)...

We installed few DS-2CD3321G0-I cameras for a client, all is well until they switch on the LED track lights, resulting in horizontal scrolling black bars. I don't think it's electrical or magnetic interference as the PoE switch is with UPS power, and the camera is like 3-4 feet distance with the...

Hi, I've landed up buying few models which do not have dual-VCA, example DS-2CD3651G0-IZS & DS-2CD3321G0. I believe the G0 stands for Gen 0 , and maybe does not have Dual-VCA. With all the G2 models I've seen has dual-VCA, along with DS-2CD2355FWD-I. How do we tell from the part codes if the...

Hi, I need to install a HIKVISION IP camera inside an elevator. I know there are two methods, wired and wireless bridge. I think a cable solution would be simple to maintain but wireless seems to be more prevalent. Is there any issues using a cat6 flat traveller cable for the purpose ? Would...

Hi, We use the below TV cap card at times when there is no monitor to check hdmi output. It converts hdmi to usb and your image can be seen in the built in windows camera app. I would recommend this solution to be used for short time purpose only. However the usb from the nvr needs to be used...

With the COMMSCOPE connector you are actually terminating the solid conductor wires in an IDC (insulation displacement connector) which gives you the best possible termination. Most RJ45 male jacks are made to terminate on stranded copper (found in factory made patch cords), as they have teeth...

This is for the Commscope ceiling connector, but you would get the idea: Link

I generally use the Commscope ceiling connector for such locations, you won't ever have any problems when done this way. Commscope ceiling connector Don't really trust two hand crimped RJ45 jacks with an unknown coupler. If you have to go with a RJ45 male jack, try to find one which is...

Hi @Dan, thanks for the heads up. We are based in India, and have bought this directly from Hikvision India. However, their reginal website is not well maintained with all the available models, checked Hikvision Indonesia website as well, nothing turned up. I've posted label on the box.

Hi, Just bought a ColorVu camera for our testing purpose, the model is DS-2CD3027G0E-LUF (B-R-E8-0). I believe it belongs to the E8 platform, and I could not find any links to the same anywhere. It came with V5.7.0 build 210908 and is giving a very bad dull washed out color images at night, the...

I would probably run a 720p sub stream resolution in the substream which will be used for live view. I'm willing to try 640x480 and see how it looks. Thank you for your feedback. Edit: I checked, I'm presently using a 704x576 (D1) resolutions for the 2nd sub-stream.

Hi, I plan to use a NUC i5/8gb/win10 to see 64ch live on a 55/65 inch display. I was going through the ivms4200 datasheet which talking about using GTX graphics cards for the same. Is that necessary ? because the 64ch grid view will be running at a far lower resolution for each cam. Is anyone...

Upgraded ! thanks. Now the setting is editable, and clicking test button says "The service is available", Changing the IP to something else says that its not available. But it does not really call that webhook, still not working for me. Besides, they have still not implemented how to call this...

I upgraded my DS-2CD2355FWD-I to V5.5.83 build 190221, I can now see HTTP Listening added to the Network advanced menu. I believe it can now be used as webhooks, presently I'm doing it with rules using the Synology NAS to interface with smart home system. I tried entering JSON URL in the URL...
