UniFi has been great for me. I have a UDR as my router and two separate U6 Lite APs - one upstairs and one in the garage which also serves the back garden. I’ve hardwired both AP’s and the roaming works flawlessly. You can lock devices to a preferred AP but if you reboot that AP the devices...

Even that would probably prove an issue for me. I believe that VMs XGSPON version of the Hub 5 cannot be put into bridged mode/modem mode. I have a Unifi setup that does all WiFi and routing so would end up with a double NAT situation.

Interesting. I do see the choppy playback myself at times. It's almost regular in that it'll play for a second pause for a second when viewing clips. I'm also on VMs 1 Gig service seeing 1,150 down, 100 plus up. As you say latency can be 30 ms plus, and looking at Think Broadbands monitor...

I think I noticed it on V5 on my VPro but I haven't tested/checked it since the last update. A bit of a long winded explanation follows...... On previous camera models the exposure time setting is not fixed per se. If you set it at 1/50sec then 1/50sec is the longest it will go but it can go...

AGC by default is set to 100% gain. In Auto mode the camera will set the gain at what it needs up to 100. The only way you can control it and the only way you can compare two cameras is to set them in night mode and adjust the gain, DNR and maximum exposure time to the same on each. It’s...

Minimum lux figures can give an indication of better or poorer low light performance between models but I really wouldn't read too much into them. As I see it, the figures specify a minimum illumination at which the camera can produce a video signal with the gain cranked up to 100% ('AGC On')...

Camera 1 has better colour, low light performance (0.0005 being lower than 0.002) What is the model number of Camera 1? If it is purely a ColorVu camera without IR light and ICR filter it might not be able to switch into black and white at all so that would explain the missing information.

Sometimes you're not even aware of the failure - no beeps locally. I added a site to Hik Partner Pro last week to investigate a video fail issue. HPP ran its inspection and noted a HDD evaluation failure 'bad sector detected' though at that point I could still review video. Running a test...

That is a completely different model and not a 'VPro' - do not attempt to install the firmware I linked! If HPP shows you the latest version for your model then use only that version. The most likely outcome of attempting to install an incorrect version is that you just get an 'update failed'...

If you put your serial number into the Hik Partner Pro app it should return the latest version. I noticed further up the thread that a user with the 8 channel model had an upgrade file that was a far smaller file size than the same build of firmware for my 16 channel model...

Sometimes you can get away with that. I’ve known spurious recording exceptions and all cameras stopping/restarting recording in the logs. It can go on for a long time before the disk finally fails and lets you know with that annoying beep sequence.

Newer firmware has been released that adds some features that I've not posted about yet and I've not tested to see if the web server crash can still be triggered as detailed in #50 above. The other issues remain. The notification delay is still ongoing but I don't know whether that's a...

It’ll be limited to newer NVRs that have the feature. Even AcuSearch is limited to NXI models. It’s an NVR feature, however (currently) it requires that cameras have the AcuSearch feature. Some newer iDS VPro models slated for release later this year will be able to use AcuSeek with standard...

The echo is an issue with the G3 camera not the NVR. Environmental noise reduction is turned on by default and it just seems to screw the audio up. You need to log in to the camera itself not the NVR. In the Audio settings you can turn off the ENV. Unfortunately you’re then stuck with wind...

Yeah I noticed the same when I updated this morning. I closed the case with Hikvision Support (a bit pointless as they wouldn’t acknowledge the problem existed) I’m hoping the notification delay I have on the VPro will improve but won’t get to check until the weekend as I’m away. That seems...

No new iOS version yet - I just checked. However there's a new version of HPP after the same 3 week wait so I'll keep checking. I love on the iOS app store for 'What's new' they seem to list the same things that were listed as new in the previous version or 'fix some bugs' which is little help.

That model is actually a ColorVu but you've illustrated perfectly why I only use-IP (see what I did there - groan). Hikvisions HDTVi range don't have the larger image sensors, better build quality and available parameter adjustment that the IP range have.

Yeah agreed. It's the usual 2 steps forward, 1 back unfortunately. Changes are made and features added that aren't necessarily wanted, and things get broken during that process. For example in 6.9.x for those viewing continuous recording you could filter playback all or any combination of...

I wouldn't spend any time on it. The issue is the Hik-Connect app, the thumbnails don't work and haven't for some time. The current version of Hik-Connect for iOS (6.10.822) has various issues. Usually app updates come along fairly rapidly but this version is 3 weeks old now. See post...

I can't see why you couldn't do that. Keep in mind that it's the HDD rather than the NVR itself that's at risk of failure due to excess heat. Another user mentioned it's potentially a lack of airflow/stagnant air that can cause the issue (mentioned in another post ("return of the fans"). So...
