    There is a notification setting specifically for that. Use that dropdown box to configure all the ones you want.

    ColorVu G2 - G3 vs G5 platform model availability

    Now you know why I'm buying the G1 versions of the 2347 and replacing all my 2355's and 2385's. Lots of them still available in the US and, despite some feature issues, they are still the best low light cams we can get.

    DS-7608NI-I2/8P - 1 or 2 hard drives?

    It writes to #1, then to #2. Buy the biggest ones that cover your needs.

    How should I optimise the image settings on my Hikvision ds-2cd2347g2-lu IP camera?

    I've got five of the G1 versions and there's no reason not to have those options. Hik really needs to update the firmware for the G1's to allow those capabilities.

    Hik-Connect Error Message trying to Playback recording using Hik-Connect Mobile app.

    I've had that happen before. Here's what I think it is: On occasion when you try to view an event, you'll get some kind of general playback error. It just happens from time to time. But on occasion it will happen multiple times in a row. It's only after these events that I get the "no more...

    Help with the correct set up for my home surveillance please.

    I started out with just 3 cameras and grew the system over time. You need at least one hard drive for the NVR. Sometimes I forget this is a UK site so sorry for the $$$ :D

    Help with the correct set up for my home surveillance please.

    That's going to be tough. An I-series is about $500, plus $125 per hard drive. $200-ish per camera, plus cabling, monitor, battery backup, etc.

    Help with the correct set up for my home surveillance please.

    The real question is: What is your budget? Like anything else, you get what you pay for. A couple of thoughts if you're willing to get the good stuff: Get an I-series NVR. Don't get caught up in megapixels. While a "4K" camera is good during the day, it's not that great at night. A good 4mp...

    How Hik-Connect App use data?

    @Kyle are you positive that's how it works when you are on the same LAN? If I am in the Hikconnect app and ask it to play video from an event, it starts instantaneously. As in, a tenth of a second. I find it hard to believe my mobile app can make a request to Hik's servers in China, which then...

    Please help! I’ve no clue what I’m doing

    Natalie: this stuff is really complicated. It's like having car problems without knowing the first thing about cars. You're not going to learn this over the internet. I'm really going to suggest that you call in someone who can help locally - I think you'll get better, and quicker, results. Good...

    Please help! I’ve no clue what I’m doing

    I think most of the (really good) advice offered is for someone who is at least a hobbyist with IP cameras. My suggestion is to call in a pro to help you.

    Hik-Connect Hik-connect remote liveview/playback slow loading/freezing/skipping seconds

    Reboot your NVR. Occasionally I get errors and playback issues, including the famous "too many resources" error message. Reboot of the NVR so far has always cured the problems.

    IVMS-4500 Android App & Recently upgraded Firmware on DS-2CD2355FWD-I

    That app has not been supported for a long time. Get the HikConnect app.

    Location of recording box

    In my experience with an I-series, it depends on how many cameras you have attached. When I setup my system starting out with 3 cameras, I had to be right next to the NVR to hear the fan. It was nearly silent. As I added additional cameras I noticed it getting louder. At 8 cameras, it's noisy. I...

    HIKVISION - Notification when it has the event motion

    Is it going to a gmail account? If so you have to enable less secure apps in gmail in order for it to work. There's a thread on here about it.

    Is there any reason you can't disable Malwarebytes in order to upgrade the plugin? Or add it to the whitelist?
