If you want to record continuously 24/7 then I would advise getting an NVR but if you're happy to record only motion events you could simply record to the cameras' built-in SD card which can probably hold a month of event recordings before it starts to overwrite the earliest ones. Much also...

I had trouble wiring my own RJ45s at the beginning but I now have almost 100% success rate since I cut the wires shorter than the illustrations in the guide I was following. The shorter wires stay together better and feed more easily into their channels. And yes, definitely use a [cheap] cable...

Maybe you could post some images? Obviously there will be far less detail in a night shot - even a well-lit night shot - than a day shot. All night shots include a lot more noise and artifacts than day shots which makes night shots look grainier. And if you have DNR active for night shots, you...

If you are zooming in to greater than 100% of the native resolution then you will always get pixellation. What device are you zooming in on and what is the resolution and bitrate set for that stream?

After this morning's email correspondence with a Hikvision UK tech support agent, I have jumped off a bridge and will never buy another product from them. Mac owners beware. I have been reading the documentation for the new DS-KH9510-WTE1 and DS-KH9310-WTE1 indoor video intercom stations and...

I can't help you with that thing. If I wanted a dedicated Windows workstation (which I don't), I would buy one off the shelf (or build one) and configure it myself.

Geweldig nieuws.

I still use it since it would ruin my gate pillars to dig it out of the brickwork. It does open the gates and the audio works but I bought it for the event video recordings. The software even includes a section for wasting your time masking the area of interest for Pete's sake! This should be...

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I made the same mistake as you in buying an expensive Hikvision video intercom in the belief that it would record video to the SD card in the indoor station. That's what these cameras do, right? But not this one. The camera does not record video to the...

Ah yes. Apart from sentimental reasons, they are objets d'art. I still have my first Mac - Quadra 840AV - which was over-specified for my needs at the time! And while my 5k iMac is a modern SSD/Retina marvel, the other daily runner on my desk is an ageing Mac Mini attached to a truly venerable...

Yes, it has been deprecated on all modern browsers for security reasons. But while it lasts, Internet Explorer on Windows still delivers; and so would an old Mac running Safari version 11. For the same reason, Flash will be killed off at the end of this year with new operating systems using HTML...

Trouble is, there aren't any better solutions for the Mac AFAIK. There's a cheap system (Reolink) which runs well on the Mac but I don't consider it a serious security system and it's not properly ONVIF-compliant so won't play well with any other brand of kit, nor can you access its cameras...

We Mac users are denied full functionality. There are many camera settings and controls on the Windows version of Hikvision's (free) iVMS-4200 desktop software which don't appear on the Mac version. And it is currently impossible to access the cameras' web config pages via and Mac browser (and...

OK, thanks. I thought for a moment that you had discovered the Holy Grail and recorded video to an SD card.

DS-2DE2A404IWDE3 does most of what you want, albeit at IP66. It's in the so-called 'value' range but offers quite a lot of bang for the buck.

@RealMode where are your event videos recorded? Are you talking about recordings on your NVR or on SD cards? Are you even able to capture event recordings from your door camera?

I smelled a rat but the cat got him.

Not sure how relevant this is but the HikCentral manual describes how to add a person and then assign controls and authorisations to them for different doors.

You might want to try upgrading the firmware to v2.1.2_build191014.
