I don't have NVR at all and I see similar settings menu as fullboogie posted (not identical as I also have a few other: time config, microphone settings, storage stats, etc). It's on G1 cameras with 4.3.1 Hik-Connect (but this option was there for many previous versions too). Do you have the...

I'm with you Paul. I'm actually reading ISAPI manual these days to figure out if there is easy way to arm/disarm all cameras in one go (kind of typical alarm system). Also get alarm notifications to other systems like Smartthings. Not easy reading as it is quite dry manual with no working...

Ah, got it! Thanks. Lets see if it resets back afgter midnight.

I cannot find anything in HikConnect - where is it and how is it called??

I setup NAS directly from the camera. Never tried NFS - just Samba: From what I researched: each camera needs a dedicated disk. If you add the same disk to multiple cameras they will not know how much space is available for each one. They cannot cross-manage their space requirements. To...

Not the same problem but I stopped receiving 99% of notifications in HikConnect. I still get them but maybe 1 out of 100. As you say - alarm entries are there, pictures are recorded upon alarm, etc. However, basic motion detection works fine (just not other types of events). If I enable email...

Of course you will need media player to play the files. If you use one of the more recent formats (eg. h265+) it may not play be default. VLC is the best to play anything.

I don't quite know what your set up is. Possibly it varies if you use some third party tools like Surveillance Station or simple network share (eg. via Samba). In my case: 1. I use Samba to set up separate share for each camera (600G for each). Separate shares are needed as otherwise single disk...

Also check if you enabled notifications in HikConnect (one for HikConnect app and another one for each camera in HikConnect)

Is there any API / http command that would achieve something similar? I was wondering if OI could do it from Samsung Smarttings .

@funkytwig, initially all MP4 files are empty (size 0). Wait until they will contain footage. If they are not empty then you may have problems with player - try VLC Player.

Every NAS may work a bit different. I have custom built NAS based on Ubuntu. Network shares are done via Samba: 1. Yes it deletes everything from shared folder. It creates a new folder / file structure. All files are empty. 2. Yes, you can access folder with recorded footage the same way as any...

Thank you Phil. This is one of the advantages of having NVR

Thanks @tommi. I have that option as well in my camera but it wasn't even mentioned in documentation hence my question. I have always wanted to integrate Hikvision cameras to Smartthings but I don't think it is supported. In Smartthings you can create virtual switches that send HTTP command to...

Interesting thing @tommi. I didnt even know about this. What is it suppose to do? Trigger that http when Event / Smart Event is triggered? Or arm the camera when that http is triggered from somewhere else? How are you using that? Some home automation tool?

Thanks Phil! I have been through all the firmware updates for the last 2 years and I'm on latest one. I get that pixelization on 2 out of 4 cameras (both outdoors) and they are all on the same (latest) firmware. Two other cameras (indoor) work well. Outdoors cameras are well protected...

I guess this pixelization disappears and then appears randomly, right? Its' not static. I have the same problem and it sometimes triggers false intrusion detection :(

For example these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/HSeaMall-Passive-Ethernet-Injector-Splitter/dp/B076LWCLN2 I also found something that transforms 48v POE to 12v output + data output (no need for additional PSU): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01H37XNHE/ref=psdc_949408031_t3_B076LWCLN2

Not sure what caused that issue but if everything else fails you can always: 1. Buy 12 adapter. 2. Buy a pair of RJ45+12v LAN splitters 3. Inject 12v to your LAN cable (rather than typical 48v POE) and then split it back to 12v input near your camera. There are several of these injectors /...

Well... first make sure you enabled notifications in HIK-Connect app in two places: 1. General setting: More-->Settings-->Message push notification 2. Settings each camera: 3 little dots above camera-->Alarm Notification--> Enable Also disable power saving for HIK Connect (nnot sure if that...
