I mentioned on your previous thread that you're likely on a hiding to nothing - but if you're prepared to buy a camera (knowing that you can't send it back for not reading number plates) - you can give it a go. Too many variables that a standard camera isn't really designed for - and with all...

Having never needed to achieve a decent night time plate capture from a non-anpr camera - I'll see if others can give recommendations. My only suggestion is to ensure the plate area takes up a fair percentage of your image area and hope for the best, ensure that the shutter speed is fast enought...

I'd probably try a varifocal camera then with a decent zoom - that way if it doesn't work out as you want it to, you could still use it as a regular camera to cover a scene elsewhere. You can get bullet style cameras that can zoom to 12mm, or PTZ's that go a bit further (but they're a bit bigger...

You also have the issue of infra red reflection - if you're looking head on - the IR lamps in most cameras would just reflect off the registration plate making it unreadable. ANPR cameras expose for the plate - regular cameras expose for the scene. If you're planning on it viewing a wide area I...

From my own experience - you'll unlikely get an off the shelf camera to do what an ANPR camera does unless there's a good level of ambient lighting. With a head on camera of course, you'll also have vehicle headlights to contend with, which in themselves can be an issue. If the area is very...

Do you mean you downloaded the app/software and registered an account in your username/email? You need to know the admin password of the DVR - that can only come from the original owner or installer (likely the original owner).

In answer to your Point 1 - no I can't see a way to tell auto-arm to do one or the other - it's just full arm and full disarm on the automated option. In answer to Point 2 - How are you arming the system? Are you using your phone, a remote or a tag reader? I think on the remote button there's...

No - I'm not clear on what you're asking. You want 'House' and 'Garage' (for example) to be armed with both door contacts and PIR's - I think I get that much - what's the one click or automation you're referring to? What are you trying to achieve? Maybe it's my dull brain not understanding the...

That's no way to talk about your customers!

And the solution was what? What did you find was the problem?

I agree you might offer it as an option, and say well this is better and that's changed - but with surveillance HDD's from top brands being in the £70-80 range being available - I'd offer that as the first option, while mentioning the potential to upgrade. What I wouldn't do is go straight in...

If they're saying it's likely the hard drive - a good company would quote for a replacement drive - not a replacement NVR. A decent surveillance drive can be had for under a £100 depending on capacity - and as above is really easy to replace and format, as long as you have the relevant admin...

Although there are glitches from time to time, as with any big company, I'm confident your problems are not related to either the hardware being at fault, or their network, but your setup. Are you accessing the NVR through its dedicated menu via a mouse connected to the unit and vieiwing it on...

How about you start from the beginning again? What model NVR do you have? How did you go about setting it up? Did you do it? Or did an installer do it?

Even in 'Internet Explorer Mode'?

As above - the problems you appear to have had would likely be down to the way it was set up. Sometimes you need the knowledge of how some things in Hikvision are set up to ensure a trouble-free user experience. Sometimes someone that thinks they know what they're doing, gets it wrong, and ends...

Is it this one? I think I misread your original mention of the model number. https://www.use-ip.co.uk/hikvision-ds-7604ni-k1-4p.html NVR's are not quite like other consumer items - they don't have new models every fortnight - and the technology and software doesn't seem to evolve quickly like...

14 months old seems very soon to replace an NVR, when some of your issues may be down to your installer rather than the hardware itself. Hikvision NVR's are known to give the message 'No firmware update available' or similar, even if there are. Hikvision also have a fairly (to me) complicated...

To be fair - having a few ads, if it contributes just a little to your running costs are absolutely fine - I think most of us have gotten used to that on just about every web page we look at. Glad to see it was something that was a bit off, rather than 'the norm' I am not yet a senior - and...
