Thank you for your valuable input Dan. I will pop out to give them a bit of a clean and will also adjust the angles slightly too. Thanks again.

I think I've managed to insert a couple of images as requested. I need to pop out and give them a bit of a wipe over but that won't improve things much. I think that you can get the general gist of things.

Thank you for coming in on this so quickly Dan. I wouldn't know where to start in order to grab an image from my CCTV monitor to add to a post. Would it be possible for me to do this via a browser connection on my pc?

I have two cameras connected to my system, they are :- DS-2CD2155FWD and DS-2CD2035FWD The night vision is extremely poor and so I am wondering if there is anything that I can do to improve this. I'm not too sure how old these cameras are and whether or not they may be able to accept some...

That all worked absolutely fine JB1970. I'm all up-to-date now. Thanks a million for all your help. Much appreciated as always.

Thank you again JB1970, yes you are quite correct, after doing the extraction/unzip the digicap.dav is inside it. Question is, do I need to do anything more so that the update finds the digicap.dav file or will it be OK that it will pick it up as the IPC_G1 it wil see?

One question please as I seem to be having problems with creating the digicap.dave file. Will highlighting the file and then right-clicking and choosing 'Extract-All' give the same end result as downloading an unzipping app, which I don't have at the moment. The Extract-All method worked for...

I do have a digicap.dav file that I used for updating the NVR. I didn't think that that was to be used for the camera upgrading aswell, particularly as Dan had pointed me to IPC_G1_EN_STD_5.6.820_220519 for the cameras.

Hello again Dan, I have followed the instructions on using the 'Virtual Host' method (I had already set this up previously) and I can log onto the camera's with no problems. However, when I come to 'Upgrade' and I browse to the file, when I click on it I cannot get it to populate the box on...

Right then folks. I have updated the firmware for the NVR and it has worked perfectly, the time is also now showing as correct. Unfortunately I seem to have forgotten how to update the firmware for my cameras. I have tried doing it the same way (On-Line) as I did for the NVR but that does not...

Hello Dan, Thank you so much for your help with this. It is very much appreciated. I will have a look for the guide to doing the updates and hopefully try to get it done later today. @JB1970, thank you for your tip. I will look at that too as despite having configured DST it is still showing...

Hi Folks, It has been quite some considerable time since I last updated the firmware/software on my set-up and so I am thinking that I should probably do it now. I have a DS-7604NI-K1 Unit which is currently showing the firmware as being v4.30.085 build 210409 There are two cameras attached...

Thank you so much for your help. I'm not available for a day or so now but I will check everything again asap and will report back, with screenshots as necessary,

I have just read something about an NTP Server that appears to ensure the accuracy of the time and date. Is this something that I need to take a look at and what exactly is it? Thanks again for all your efforts on this.

I have just clicked on an icon in the top right hand corner of my NVR screen and when I put the mouse pointer over it brings up the words Hik-Connect and then a click on it displays one of those Q codes ( I think that's what they're called), I think that you need to point your phone at it to...
