Hikvision DS-1250ZJ hood adapted to make a light/rain shield for my DS-KD8003-IME1 video intercom:

Hik-Connect now up to v4.4.

I think I have the same problem in both MacOs and Windows: the preview images when setting up motion events or smart events aren't in the same 16:9 format as the camera feed. So how do you set up zones accurately when the preview image is squashed horizontally?

Thank you, Kyle. Are there any advantages to feeding the indoor station from the mainstream or sub stream given that both will be 720p or less?

FWIW, on my Mac, neither SADP Tool nor iVMS-4200 sees the IP of the main door station. However, if you have a working indoor station, you can find it in the settings. Other platforms may actually work.

@DataDave, I haven't found a way to do that natively but can recommend the Parallels Desktop solution mention by Dan. You can also view RTSP live streams via VLC in MacOs, locally and remotely.

Any colour you like.

I'm obviously not visualising your bird box correctly if the colour of the camera makes a difference to anyone except a bird. I haven't any experience of current Hikvision bullets but you'll need to make sure that you choose the right lens for your required FOV. It's pretty small but even at 6in...

When you said you were hoping to mount the camera in a way which would not attract attention, I assumed you were not planning to stick a CCTV warning sign next to it - which I gather is compulsory if filming outside your property (as is the correct management of any potentially private footage)...

If it's going inside a box, you could look at the smaller indoor-rated cameras as they should get sufficient protection from the elements. I squeezed an indoor-rated DS-2DE2204IW-DE3 PTZ camera inside a garden lantern and it's very happy out there. Make sure you're not breaking any laws...

Pleased to hear it as I have other fish to fry, like sleeping, eating, sleeping and eating, in that order.

I've only now looked at the images attached to your OP and noted your device channel number. All my added cameras are assigned to channel 1. If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas. PS. All my added cameras are also on port 554 (even though I have forwarded their port numbers for another reason)...

Have you enabled DHCP on the 6230? If you do that it should mine the IP addresses of all your Hik cameras automatically, without changing the default port number. Once it has got the IPs you can turn DHCP off again. Otherwise, if your camera IPs are showing in SADP Tool, you should be able to...

Good luck with the recording. I don't use an NVR or a storage server but it's impossible to record any event from the door station to an SD card in an indoor station or to my hard drive. There's a clue in the door station iVMS-4200 config which lists none of the usual event options. It's an...

What are your camera sub-streams set to? They need to be H264 and within the resolution supported by the video intercom (1024x600 in the case of the KH6230). If either H or W is set to higher then I don't think you will see the feed.

If you put all your cams on the same port only one will work. Assign each cam its own port number.

Just to clear up this red herring, I'm embarrassed to report that my iVMS-4200 alarm sounds weren't emanating from my Mac client but from the Windows client which had been left running in emulation, out of sight and out of mind. Peace reigns - and I was able to get my editing done. I still...

I'd say the first image is looking into the sun, which will usually result in haze/glare, whilst the second is looking away from the sun. You can mitigate glare in settings but the sun moves [or the earth does] so any setting is only good for an hour or two.

I need to update this having just finished testing the 2MP Reolink Lumus wi-fi cam with integral spotlight. I'm not sure what they've changed but the PIR detection is the best I've seen from Reolink; it also automatically filters out most false alarms from insects, birds, etc. I still wouldn't...

I can't help with configuring the 8003 as a standalone device as I have always had an indoor station too. I gather from reading about others' experiences that Hik-Connect can't be properly set up for the door station unless an indoor station has also been installed. [If that is true then the...
