Is there a thread which might explain how to view the rotated (portrait) live feed correctly in the Hik-connect app? I've got it displayed perfectly on the monitor connected to the NVR and in ivms-4200. In the web interface of the individual cameras the proportion is correct. The saved...

Yes, that's why I had to get it direct from Hikvision SA, and they told me this model is on it's way out and thus not listed. Sadly I only bought it in April. :-(

Yes, I completely forgot that too! So that answers my question - not a good idea to use the UK/EU one then...

This is the file that Dan linked me to... NVR_K9B2_BL_ML_STD_V4.72.109_230107 I wonder if I should risk using it instead?

Response from Hikvision about the model and firmware: Please see above from our database, that specific model NVR uses the K20A9 firmware.

Ah, I see! I was asked to set it to monitoring here when I was setting up rotate mode. It seems that if I change from monitoring to Smart Event, rotate mode is reset to 0. So I'm not sure how to proceed.

Oh no - this is the firmware that was sent directly to me by Hikvision SA. I'll ask them to explain and see if they have a solution.

Please don't let me take any more of your time! I just checked the camera via the web interface, as they've told me this model supports Smart Events. The only one available is Scene change, so it looks like I'm not going to be able to set up line or perimeter crossing in any case. This is...

Thanks - that was enabled by default.

Not to flog a dead horse, but all of these options appear in the pop-up when I click on the alarm icon at the top right. Probably just to taunt me.

Thanks for weighing in, I appreciate it. I did enable "Save camera VCA data, and it hasn't changed anything. I think it's something weird about this particular firmware/software config which is designed specifically to derange any sane person. As you point out, the events are being recorded...

Thanks Dan. Having heard from my local Hikvision tech support that this model does not support Smart Events, and having looked at the manual online which states that Perimeter protection is only supported on certain models (not specified), I think your advice to use a different NVR would be the...

I asked them this: I'm unable to use Perimeter Protection or Other Events with my NVR. Can you confirm whether this model supports those features? Only "Normal Events" - (motion detection) - and Face Recognition can be enabled. The dropdown is greyed out and says "No available channel for...

Here is the response from Hikvision: Good day, thank you for contacting Hikvision. This model NVR does not support Smart events, if you have cameras that support the smart events you will need to enable the events directly on the cameras.

No, I used the web interface on a Windows VM. Like I said earlier, when I reset to factory settings, it kept my camera names and settings, so I'm not confident that the NVR was reset properly. Still waiting for Hikvision support to wake up and reply to me. They were quite responsive last...
