Helpful as always JB. Thanks. "Highlight moving objects" didn't actually enable anything in my setup. Enabling "display vca rule" shows defined region zones and green boxes for moving objects. This ofcourse only works for G series cameras, not the doorbell. As you said, It doesn't seem to help...

Hi, I have a HikVision doorbell connected to my NVR that is recording. Recently I enabled motion detection on the doorbell but it fires too many false positives. Insects and rain as examples. This is even with sensitivity set to 40! I have turned it down to 20 to see what it captures on this...

I tried this today with the existing panel I have access to. I could add the Enforcer panel (that is wifi enabled) in my hikconnect app using the "Pyronix" option under manual additions. It added very basic arm/disarm buttons in HikConnect. It was very slow to load and I needed to enter the...

So given the choice, which would you recommend? The wireless pyronix with wired expander, the euro76 with DIGI-WIFI/XA (no lan cable nearby), or i-on 40H? I have 8-10 wired inputs (need to confirm), but may want to add a 2 wireless sensors later. Will need a wired sounder connected also. Any...

@drmaven appreciate taking the time to give me your thoughts. The main "pro" as you list is having the same app as the NVR so less cumbersome for daily operation, but it doesn't sound and nor have I read that it actually unlocks any smart features having the same ecosystem. So potentially not...

I have Hikvision NVR and cameras. I'm considering replacing an old alarm panel with AX Pro. What are you experiences with AX Pro? Are they any good, reliable, and good value for the money? Is the firmware stable or similar issues to NVR/intercom issues? Is integration with NVR/HikConnect...

Thanks trempa. The factory reset of the doorbell resolved the issue annoyingly. I had then to reactivate the device through the indoor station and going back into the NVR to add it as "access control device" just worked this time. Calls did fail on the indoor station, but I found it was because...

Correct. I am the main hc account connected to the NVR and indoor station, and I share with other users. I'm concerned if I reset either device, I'll have to go through resharing process again, even though device ids should all remain the same.

I might have to then, maybe just start with the doorbell. Do you know how HikConnect users will be impacted with NVR reset? I'm happy to spend time on this but rest of the users are all set up on their phones. I really want to like HikVision, but lord do they make it difficult with their buggy...

Oh no, I have not. I may have missed thet if it was in the release notes. But honestly, what a pain if that's the case. I don't want to have to reconfigure everything :/

Mine is already set to TCP. But I tried flipping to UDP and back to TCP (with port 80 and 8000). Still no joy. Ofcourse tried reboot of the NVR too. Don't mind blurry photo but you can see same settings as you trempa. I'm stumped.

I assume you mean within the same "Access control devices" tab. Tried 80 (from 8000) and now instead of "offline" it's "Network disconnected". I also tried adding it directly as a video device (again with 80) and still get "Network disconnected". Doorbell is connected directly into a POE switch.

I upgraded my (c) doorbell to 3.7.0 250709 last night. Doorbell with indoor station and HikConnect all working fine. However, the device is showing offline in the "access control" tab in my NVR (M series on 5.04.066) and so the channel is no longer recording. I tried removing and re-adding the...

I'm short on time, due to personal circumstances, so have not been keeping up with the latest on this issue. If someone could kindly let me know if I should be downgrading my doorbell firmware, or leaving it on the current known bad one and doing something different on the NVR? As far as I...

Having seen your post early on, I decided not to update to 3.70 needing the call functionality. However, are you able to confirm if your NVR was recording on 5.04 + 2.2, assuming you did add it as a Access Control device? When I'm next around I will attempt to keep versions the same, try...
