    Which is the Best Hikvision NVR for 8 Cameras?

    Hello Busterboy On the flashing strobes. Is it the LED on the camera that strobes or is it an indicator on the NVR. I have the same camera and NVR but hadn't noticed this option. Thanks

    Hikvision headache - where should I edit motion detection settings?

    Yes VCA is more accurate but if you do a mix of motion and VCA you will be able to cover areas that you cannot cover with VCA if your camera does not have enough VCA channels for the scene you are covering. E.G. On one of my cams I have line crossing in front of my door, an intrusion zone...

    Motion Detection Settings - How to fix?

    Unless the initial trigger is as you say pointless but is followed immediately by a more relevant event which you miss because you don't watch the recording in full.

    Dedicated NVR or software option

    For me my NVR is an all in one place solution that i can go to, to check recordings, live view and change settings. But it's main draw for me when buying was that it's easy to set up with plug and play. Doing it all separately with seperate switch, NAS and then accessing via what appeared to...

    Which is the Best Hikvision NVR for 8 Cameras?

    At some point, with the camera tech increasing the I nvr will be struggling so for me it's wait and see what happens in the next 12 months. If it doesn't then maybe other manufacturers, though more expensive £ to £ might be the way to go.

    Issue With Camera Night Vision in my narrow side alley - IR is reflecting from the walls

    Thanks for reply. I'll send the cheque. A lux level sensor that has a dead band to deal with any reswitching would resolve the issue. Perhaps not as easy technically as my brief explanation but I am sure there is a fix that coudl be implemented at a reaonsable price. I suppose another...

    Issue With Camera Night Vision in my narrow side alley - IR is reflecting from the walls

    Hello Dan I like the day / night scheduling option for the differenct settings, problem is its time related so over a period of time, the settings become out of date when it gets darker earlier and vise versa. Is there an option that switches the settings by detecting a light level. Thanks

    Please update your firmware to the latest available version

    Slightly off topic and not relevant to the reason this thread was created. Checking the report done by IPVM was interesting until I realised that the image relating to the vulnerable camera in Saltley Birmingham is clearly not at the location that it is shown on the map. The house on the...

    Hello Thanks all for replies. This will be helpful. I also totally understand the limits of motion detection ahving fiddled with the system for over 18 months now, but as I only have one line and one ntruder VCA with my cameras I have continued to use motion as I find it provides additional...

    Motion Detection Playback Tracking

    Thanks a lot Phil. I had a look at the motion threads you linked me to and one might be useful though it relates to browser settings. I would appreciate Dan replying to confirm if there is an NVR setting that does this when he is back and has time. Thanks a lot.
