    Windows 11 upgrade - no more live view

    Windows 11/Edge. Cannot see live view from NVR however if I go via camera management and open URL using 'virtual host' for the camera itself I can 'see' a live view from that specific camera. This suggests it is not Win11 or Edge as such but something in how the NVR handles video streams for the...

    Camera settings reverting without my help

    Hi. I have 7608NI NVR per attached with 7x cameras to PoE on it. Cameras are mix of 2x 2032 and 2x 246G2 and 2363G0 and 2363G0 and 2386G2. In tweaking the 2386G2 based on posts on here I set bitrate =12,288, bitrate = variable, and video quality = highest. I've noticed however that without my...

    ColorVU Video Settings?

    @David your exposure 1/100 with ColorVu. Are you getting pixelation/blurring of people walking and are you using the white supplemental lighting? I ask as having put 2x 2047G2 up over weekend, then exposure of 1/50-1/200 all show pixelation or blurring of even people walking at night at 10+mtrs...

    Replacing IP camera on NVR

    Grateful @JB1970 .. good tip in the above. As i have static IP addresses on the camera's i used the SADP to set the IP and password of camera. Then realised (USE-UP cheat sheet) i just needed to modify the setting. There was a time lag between doing that and it 'appearing'. All good. Once i'd...

    Replacing IP camera on NVR

    Hi. Got three new/replacement cameras. I've used SADP to set their IP addresses, etc successfully. I've tried to swap one for an existing camera (different IP address) however this does not appear as a new camera on NVR via browser view. I reconnected original camera with the aim of 'deleting'...

    Hikvision 2546G2 vs 2545 low light performance?

    Thanks. My understanding from watching the DAITECH videos that @Dan has pointed to indicates the LEDS can be turned off completely (I hope). Good point on low light in the area however unfortunately the IR illuminator + camera is preferable given the camera location (see attached). The annoying...

    Hikvision 2546G2 vs 2545 low light performance?

    Understood and thanks. Avoiding colorvu perhaps wrongly as don’t want white light with the camera if possible. Do appreciate the benefits and deterrent they can be tho.

    Upgrade time, Colorvu vs Darkfighter?

    @DrPhilG what did you plump for? for similar reasons to you (no ambient light, wife, etc) I’m tending toward G2 Acusense 8mp turret and mini bullet as swaps for 2146g1, 2163g0 and couple of 2132’s. have watched very good diatech videos which is pushing me toward above not colorvu.

    Hikvision 2546G2 vs 2545 low light performance?

    Any luck with trials? I have 2163G0 on wall near gate. Night IR is very poor (no street lighting) so am looking at 2546G2 given IK10 (it’s 1.6m from ground) and low light on G2 seemingly far better even tho 4mp not 6mp. It’s either that or I’m buying an ir illuminator. ive tweaked exposure right...

    Mounting ColorVu Torret camera on pole mounting bracket

    I used a u-bolt. Drilled thru mounting box to accept legs from u-bolt, then cut them back a little to just a little more than size of nut. I sealed all holes at rear of box. Pole I have is 40mm dia. I found the HIK pole mount too cumbersome/heavy for my use. I have 2146 HIK mounted this way...

    Best Turret Camera?

    @kmb786 question for you. The anpr 2mp camera you have I assume is a HIK? if so do you have ambient/street lighting or not as I’m interested in one to cover country road adjacent to property but we have no lighting at all. Is night quality able to catch number plates? also, with colorvu are you...

    Tips for improving IR/night view on Hikvision DS-2CD2163G0 dome camera?

    @Phil per thread above is it correct that i should see 3x IRs on this camera for night vision or should there be more red LED's visible? TIA

    Tips for improving IR/night view on Hikvision DS-2CD2163G0 dome camera?

    Thanks Dave. Certainly exposure has made the largest difference to visibility at night. Now to strike the balance between identifying vehicles (non-ANPR) and seeing a blur ;-). Appreciate your steer/tips, thank you.

    Tips for improving IR/night view on Hikvision DS-2CD2163G0 dome camera?

    @Phil i attached pics of image from camera and its current settings. There are three IR's visible from on the camera. Having dome off seems to make little difference. The pics are Stream1 taken on PC via browser to NVR. I've included config as well.

    Tips for improving IR/night view on Hikvision DS-2CD2163G0 dome camera?

    Thanks @Phil have changed exposure to 1/200 not 1/500 its better (played with WDR, BLC, HLC but without material change). IR's on the camera i can 'see' 3x lit red. I'll check again this evening and also follow your other suggestions (dome was cleaned in + out before the above images taken)...

    Tips for improving IR/night view on Hikvision DS-2CD2163G0 dome camera?

    It's set at 1/500 as are other cameras. I've changed this 2163G0 to 1/200 and will see impact of this tonight. Appreciate any other points i should look at e.g. HLC, BLC, etc. Thanks.

    HIK 2346G0 and Line Crossing Detection 'missing'

    @JB1970 .. do you have any G2 cameras as well as G1. Interested in your experience with them in low-light/night if you have. I got G1 based on YouTube example showing better visibility of vehicles at night (with IR off), and I note G2 appear far lower lux. Situation is single track road, no...
