I have been playing with this recently - if I uninstall any hikvision browser plugins and then change the streams to "sub streams". Then I select grid view and finally click the play / triangle button at the bottom of the screen. Then all my cameras play live feed in edge OK fine.

OK - so update to my own post. I risked the G2 update and grabbed the firmware from the hikvision product page. I upgraded by directly going into the camera using edge browser in IE mode. Upgraded to V5.7.19 build 241207 - seems to be OK For my NVR - the hikvision product page does not have a...

Hi All, I have some hikvision kit that has been out of use for some time - NVR and some G2's. I would like to update the firmware on 2 x G2 turret camera's and the NVR. Keen to tread careful with the NVR in particular as have killed one years ago by selecting the incorrect firmware version. A...

Thanks for the update. I have a Reolink doorbell camera and have been meaning to add it to my Hik NVR. When i finally do, at least I know what functionality to expect lol

I recently purchased an old / 2nd hand Hikvision ANPR camera and after tweaking the settings got it working great (DS-2CD4A26FWD-IZS). I played around with the varied focal to ensure the plate was a good size. I then set the focus up in the day time and set it to manual so that it would not...

Probably unrelated and may not help but my Hik-Connect access on my iphone just stopped after making some minor tweaks on my NVR (changed encryption type and restarted NVR). LAN access was fine. I managed to get it working again with some tinkering. My NVR Just would not connect in the app like...

@JB1970 - Update is a happy ending! Port forwarding and app all updated and working spot on with new ports. Massive thanks again!

Fantastic! Thanks again - will finish off tinkering tonight and update

@JB1970 - I finally managed to change my default http, RTSP and server ports using the NVR interface directly (browser did not want to do it for some reason). I have another question if thats OK. What do i now need to change in my port forward / router settings now that I have changed the...

Thanks again! As you suggested, I have added a 2nd local connection instance as a great short term solution (to get the best of both worlds). Been meaning to replace my ISP router for a while so will bite the bullet and make sure it supports Loopback. Thanks again for the great expert advice!

Quick update - I successfully configured the DDNS section and Hik-connect app (and port forwarding) and it now gives me the option to change the image resolution in the playback timeline (clear or custom) - which is great! It also lets me have access to the remote configuration of the NVR (never...

Awesome - my project for tonight lol

quick update - just checked and my 7608NI NVR does not have the 'double stream' option. Maybe only 16 port NVR's have this (more processing power maybe).. I will have a crack at setting up DDNS access on Hik-Connect (been on the to do list for a while). Do you still get event notifications in...

Thanks all, I will have a play with the 'duel stream' option and also see if opening some ports helps. Will report back soon. Thanks again Dan

Thanks for the quick reply my quality button is greyed out and stuck on HD. Is this a port forwarding issue maybe?
