That model is definitely an analogue tvi camera. Do you know if you have a separate power supply for the cameras somewhere, either something like a white box on the wall where the power part of the cable will go to or a couple of plug in power supplies that split the power to a group of cameras...

be interested to hear about the varifocal ones, I have a 4mp DS-2CD2647G2T-LZS and the zoom isn't like any other 2.8-12mm bullets I have, its more like 3.6-9mm

I bought some Excel Fast Plugs that got delivered today - I dont have the pass through type crimper yet, just a normal one, so resigned to snipping the ends off for this test. Using Ultima Solid LSZH Cat5e, the Excel easy passthrough RJ45s crimped on no problem, was much easier to verify the...

Hikvision is good. Look for cameras with acusense as that helps filter out false alarms. I am a Mac user and am getting on ok with the m series nvr. Colorvu 24x7 colour cameras are popular right now. A height of 6m isn‘t going to get you a lot of detail, great for an overview of the scene but...

looks like it maybe because the iPad app (at least in my case) is always in landscape mode no matter what my screen lock is set to, if you do the same on the iPhone, the filters are not visible there, so probably by design in the app? Portrait you see the filters, landscape they go for more...

Only just getting into Hik Connect - got it running on iPhone, and can use the Human/Vehicle filters etc for the cameras that have the function, seems to work ok. Cant see these on the iPad app - anyone an iPad user? iPhone Version and iPad version both at - 5.2.1.20230508

thanks, missed the qr thing, thanks for that. Can’t edit post now though :( @Dan any chance you can remove the images from this post please?

hm, changed the Version in the platform access screen from 3.0 to 2.0 and its added now

Tried to setup Hik Connect today after using direct DDNS connection for years. The NVR says its registration status is 'Online', so I scan in the QR code on the screen of the NVR with Hik Connect on my phone, and get this error :( I have made up a verification code in the NVR settings, cant...

found this in a manual dated 2023 - doesnt say the fw version it relates too 2.8 Save Camera VCA Data After saving camera VCA data to your device, you will be able to search the camera VCA data. Go to Storage → Advanced to enable Save VCA Data via local GUI interface. Go to Configuration →...

could do with Hikvision providing a test system so not to mess up the main one!

was yours ticked when you looked?

its in 'Storage' > 'Advanced' > second from bottom option

I must admit I wasn't aware of the "save camera VCA data" option, in the past, because I had so few ip cams, I was reliant on motion detection, which was setup full screen, and used to smart search that. As a test, I have one camera setup with intrusion detection running on the whole scene...

Thanks. My disk turned up today and is faulty, grrr, so when that gets replaced I may spend some time increasing quality and bit rates. I’ve found that using iVMS4200 to do a still capture of the images useful, as it captures at full resolution of the camera, but not sure how good that would be...

I was obsessing about the Hikvision bit rate calculator. This system I have all cams running 12fps (26 of them) with 4TB, and 2 x 3TB Purples so 10TB in total, I stuck to recommended bit rates as such, an 8pm ColorVu I have set at 12 fps, variable, and max bit rate of 4096, which is what the...

how many days recording do you get then with that?

Thanks, seems it should be more than enough - definitely a great idea there to move a camera to its own disk to rule that out! I'll stick to one group with all the disks in.

Been doing some reading and some people suggest that if you have multiple disks in your NVR and a larger number of cameras, you would be better off setting up one disk per group, and then assigning the cameras to these groups manually. Anyone any thoughts on this? The WD Purples seem to suggest...

ah no worries, the Hikvision vision menus are a nightmare at the best of times! I have a feeling the issue of dwell times may be related to IP cameras. Im 90% sure that I had a TVI connected to the old Hybrid DVR and that did full screen for 10 seconds no problem, and I think when I swapped it...
