I'm on a temp contract at the moment where they use a mix of Hikvision and Conceptpro NVR's - really don't like the Conceptpro stuff but that's another story. I know I can take a HDD out of a Hikvision system and play it in another Hikvision system - would anyone know if you can do the same...

That's useful - was hoping it was going to be a small form factor PTZ with regular presets and patrols - looks like it's not going to be up to that.... I got all excited for a moment there....

I've noticed that there are a few new PTRZ's on the UK market - including the 8mp DS-2CD2787G2H-LIPTRZS2U/SL/B - also available in white, and some 4mp equivalents. I've been looking at the spec sheets - but they are very sparse on the PTZ info - as in is the PTRZ speed configurable - and can...

6.8.3 - They're back again.....

Yes mine are gone again too - hik connect update description shows ‘fixed some bugs’ - it never says ‘fixed some bugs but also created more’. Wonder how long (again) we’ll have to wait to get them back…

Finally presets are back with this morning’s iOS update - including the original preset names.

Yes - in your app.

I just tried that - deleted it - added it again - and they've not come back for me sadly.

Another update to 6.7.350 and still no ptz presets back on the scene…. Although isn’t 6.7.350 an earlier version than 6.7.52? Or is 350 actually three hundred and fifty? Even in app updates hikvisions numbering system doesn’t make sense

It's been over 2 weeks since they broke it - so I'm not hopeful. They seem to have a bit of a casual attitude when it comes to 'improvements' breaking things along the way that then don't get fixed again for weeks/months/years/ever.

It's usually the cooling fan that makes most noise - not so much the drives - you can use an SSD for a silent drive, but they tend to fail a little more often.

Just updated - still nothing but a man with an empty box shrugging his shoulders not knowing what’s going on.

If it has been changed intentionally I'll be very upset.

Now at 6.7.52 where it mentions presets for a couple of models - none of which I have - and all ptz’s that before had presets still don’t.

Yes - usually I'd open the app - look at the notifications - pull down on the screen to refresh, and exit, even though in the app it still said 99 on the bottom of the screen - on exiting, the badge number would disappear - now it doesn't. I have to force restart the app and then it disappears.
