I've identified an issue with one of my outdoor Hikvision 4MP DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL colorvu network cameras, which were purchased and installed in October 2021. I noticed the other day, the image was fuzzy, so finally got out some ladders and attempted to give the lens a clean, only to notice...

I've been using Hik-Connect v4.23.0.0610 on my Samsung S21 since January this year and prior to that I used Hik-Connect on a much older Samsung S7 Edge. Today, I noticed something has changed. Each morning I go into the Hik-Connect app and click on the button to "Stop" alerts to my mobile. So...

I have the following setup: 5 x 4MP DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL cameras connected to a DS-7609NI-I2/8P NVR. I have configured email on the NVR as follows: Instead of "mydomain" I used my own domain name. Clicking the Test button works and an email is successfully sent and received. I've done this...

I've already installed 3 x DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL turret cameras around the outside of my home, connected to a DS-7609NI-I2/8P NVR. I'm now looking for a camera to use in a front door porch as a method of monitoring visitors and communicating with them when I'm away from home. Here's the porch...

I've found a couple of posts regarding shutting down NVR's, but I'm unable to find any options in either iVMS-4200 or the NVR web application to allow me to shutdown my DS-7608NI-I2-8P. Am I missing something or is flicking the power switch on the back of the NVR how Hikvision expect their...

I previously posted requesting some assistance on camera positioning (see here) and today I found time to try positioning both 2.8mm and 4.0mm lens cameras (DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL 4MP) at the front of my house to determine the best position. It's interesting how lens sizes can make a difference as...

I have a DS-7608NI-I2-8P NVR and some DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL cameras. I have setup Virtual Host and can see the Connect URL's displayed in the (Chrome) browser configuration page: As you can see, I currently only have one camera connected. When I click on the Connect URL, a new window opens...

I have some DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL cameras and want to enable the option to cause the White Light LED's to come on during a triggering event. I have read How do I set my Hikvision ColorVu camera's built-in light to be activated during event periods? My camera was already on a later version than...

Apologies if my question has been asked and answered many times before, but here goes. I have a DS-7608NI-I2-8P NVR with a DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL camera directly plugged into the back of it. The IP address for the NVR is 192.168.0.64, which is in the 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.254 range configured...

With my new DS-7608NI-I2-8P (DS-7600 Series) NVR I got a CD containing manuals and a VERY OLD version of iVMS-4200 (version 2.6.11.5 build 180905). In my experience I've learnt that CD's provided with products are usually best ignored and the latest versions of software downloaded from the...

On the Configuration/System Settings/Time Settings screen in the web configuration tool, I've changed the Time Zone to (GMT +00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, London" however the Device Time is still showing as an hour earlier (I'm in the UK). If I click on the Sync. with computer time this sets it to...

I've just setup my new DS-7608NI-I2 and it was working fine, but noticed the firmware is old and was showing v4.50.000 build210125. There were two later firmware updates available. So, I downloaded the next version of the firmware v4.50.010 build210322 and used the browser interface for the...

I need around 100m of Cat6 external grade cable, preferably on a reel to make it easier to handle. I see that use-ip sell two types of external cable: EXC Cat6 F/UTP external upto 50m or XeLAN Cat6 UTP external on a 305m reel I'm assuming the 50m cable isn't on a reel and is cut to size...

I'm looking to purchase some DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL 4MP cameras. As far as I can tell, the following brackets/junction boxes are compatible with these cameras: Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-DM21 Junction Box Hikvision DS-1280ZJ-PT6 Junction Box These appear to be the same, apart from the DM21 includes a...

I would appreciate some feedback on the proposed camera positions for a new CCTV installation. I am considering initially installing 3 x Hikvision DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL 4MP turret cameras and connecting these to an 8 channel DS-7608NI-I2-IP NVR. If these 3 cameras don't provide suitable...

I've now received some quotes for installing a CCTV system, but not sure about the choice of cameras that have been recommended and I'm considering installing my own system so I can pick and choose the components rather than having what the installer prefers. One installer, who installs only...

Is there any advantage to installing 2 x 3TB hard drives rather than 1 x 6TB hard drive in the DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR? Is it clever enough to spread the recording/encoding load amongst the two drives or does it simply write to them in serial i.e. fill one drive first, then the other? Thanks.

I'm currently researching a CCTV solution for my home. I will likely end up with 4 or 5 turret cameras and an NVR, most likely Hikvision. I would also like to consider using a camera in the front door porch with 2 way audio to allow communication via an android mobile and it would be...

Hi, I'm currently researching a new CCTV system and will probably invest in some Hikvision cameras and NVR to protect my home. I'm probably looking at 4 cameras and have read many articles and watched numerous videos and the Hikvision technology seems to come down to AcuSense or ColorVu. I'm...
