Hi all. I am trying to replace the fan on my Hikvision NVR psu and have the same question as the op I bought the a4x20 and the fan itself will fit fine, however didn’t come with a 3 pin to 2 pin converter. So I bought the NA-AC2 to do this (fine for the side fan). But this to too big!! Can...

Hi, Not the greatest pic i'm sorry about that. However, should show you how far away. I've already got the 4mm fitted and in use, so i am stuck with it. So i thought i would ask about what the best quality settings are for a longer distance?

Thanks for the advice. It’s strange as I asked on this forum before buying and was advised to go for a 4mm over a 2.8mm to achieve the distance? I’ll look at the table and see if there’s any adjustments I can make

Ok thanks. So basically there is no way to do this and just ignore your own events! Another question please! I have a 4mm lens version to monitor a garage in a block quite some distance away. It pinged today but was very pixelated when I zoomed in during playback. What is the optimum bitrate...

Hi all I have a newly installed DS-7608 NVR and 2x 2CD238G2 cameras. I would like Hik-Connect notifications so have set up line crossing on my driveway. I would really like to set up facial recognition so that me or a couple of other people don’t set off the line crossing alarm. I’ve read...

Many thanks guys

Hi, I was looking into getting my first NVR and have been recommended the DS-7608NI. I noticed that a new set of models called DS-7808NXI-I2/S. Does this model replace the one i was recommended or are they very different in terms of spec and (more importantly) price? Many thanks

Hmm. How much generally are those stations? Can this doorbell use a standard bell chime?

Thanks. Can it be combined with a traditional door bell chime? also, it’s a bit industrial looking! Is this the only doorbell model current and supported from Hikvision? If so, can you use other makes of doorbell with a Hikvision NVR? cheers

Ah yes, sorry - this one https://www.use-ip.co.uk/hikvision-ds-kb8113-ime1-doorbell.html

Hi! I'm very much a beginner here but I'm getting some Hikvision cameras and NVR, so would like to put in a doorbell which I don't need to pay a subscription for. I'm looking at this, but could I please ask a few questions first: I understand I have to first put it via a PoE switch to be able...

sorry - I'm assuming that you are referring to the angle when on a bracket, not mounted directly on the side wall? Or does it not matter?

Great - thanks a lot for all your help Dan The NVR can take 2x 10TB disks can't they?

I thought it would be easier to show what I am considering. The camera will go here on this wall and be monitoring a driveway below it. One car space will be where the skip is, and one where the toilet/small tree is. I'm thinking a 2.8 is perfect for this. However, I would ideally also like...

Ok thanks. one last one. When i pick the mm focal length, do i purchase a camera model variant with that lens e.g. from on the site https://www.use-ip.co.uk/hikvision-ds-2cd2386g2-iu-microphone.html or does everyone buy the same model and then can set the focal length once you get it?

ah ok thanks. yes it's confusing. these are the links to the one you recommend? https://www.use-ip.co.uk/hikvision-ds-7608ni-i2-8p.html https://www.hikvision.com/uk/products/IP-Products/Network-Video-Recorders/Pro-Series/DS-7608NI-I2-8P/

Hi Thanks so much for your replies, really helpful! Q2. I will look at the calculator, but is there a most commonly bought lens type for household-type use? Q4. This is what I've seen on the site. Q9. Ok so the Doorbell cannot connect directly to the NVR ports, so I will need to get PoE...

Hi all, I am posting this as a new thread as I have a lot of questions :), but it is a follow up to this one. I'm going to go for 2x DS-2CD2386G2 Cameras, potentially getting another one later. I might get a Hikvision doorbell too. 1. I have read in another post that now the ColorVu cameras...

Hi all! Could I please ask for a bit more advice before I pull the trigger on this? I'm going to go for 2x DS-2CD2386G2 Cameras, potentially getting another one later. I might get a Hikvision doorbell too. 1. I have read in another post that now the ColorVu cameras can only turn the white light...

Hi all still haven't bought one :) Just wondering if there was any update on the 4k turret poe colorvu release, or whether anyone has managed to find any moonlight colorvu footage yet? Also - can you please tell me if there is any difference between the Colorvu and the IR cameras in terms of...
