I've just borrowed an Annke C1200 12MP 2.8mm lens camera in order to test it's clarity at various distances. At first my Turbo DVR wouldn't let me add it until I reduced the C1200's resolution down to 8mp. Once added I found out later that I was then able to log back into the camera's settings...

Thanks Dan, That's good to know although I'm not sure yet whether to make the jump from 8MP to 12 or to 16. Currently I have an older 4 channel turbo HD DVR with 3 x 8mp IP cams plus a Reolink doorbell. I'm wanting a 2.8mm wide angled lens camera for my backyard that's clearer than my current...

Hi, The specs for the Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P POE NVR says that it records at 8, 12, 24 and 32 MP resolution. Does this mean that buying a 16MP camera would be pointless as presumably you'd only be able to choose 12MP or does it have a 16MP option that's not shown in the specs ?

Hi, To be honest I hadn't really thought about the future in terms of firmware support etc. I was too busy feeling annoyed with myself by thinking I've wasted my time and money on something I could have achieved with my K series. My original plan was to buy and keep the M series and then stick...

Thanks, I was thinking that might be the solution. I'll be returning the DVR, the seller did moan slightly when he accepted my return that he wouldn't be able to resell it as new. I hadn't even got to the stage of opening it up to install a hard drive as I was only testing it so it's still in...

Hi David, Much appreciate your help (and others) with this problem. Regarding the power line adapters you mention, the seller also mentioned those to me when I was struggling to find a compatible dongle. I wasn't previously aware of them and I said to the seller that I probably could have used...

I'm going to give those other settings another go tomorrow as I'm definitely having signal issues with the wi-fi adapter as the 192.168.0.119 worked on and off following my last post. I'll go downstairs nearer to the Virgin hub to test again in the morning. Sean

Hi, I've changed the DVR and camera to 0.64 and 0.65 along with the DNS servers. Camera is okay, hik-connect stream okay, ivms-4200 stream okay BUT unfortunately I can no longer access 192.168.0.119 from my laptop on wi-fi. Sadp tool shows nothing and still no browser access to the camera. I...

All the IPs were assigned automatically apart from the camera which I changed to 192.168.1.65 because 192.168.1.64 was in conflict with the default dvr lan IP. The dongle is a Plugable brand from Amazon UK. If you put B00H28H8DU into Amazon search you'll find it. It's chipset is on Hikvision's...

I haven't a clue. It doesn't look much really and only the size of my thumbnail. Later I'll plug it into my laptop and see if I can configure any settings on it and get back to you. Sean

Hi David. No, it's not. My Virgin hub is downstairs and my dvr etc upstairs. I didn't want the bother of the extra cables so bought this WiFi dvr hoping I could do it all wirelessly. Sean

Hi, I'm new to the forum and haven't got a clue what I'm doing so would be grateful for some help. I've just bought a Hikvision iDS-7204HTHI-M1/S Turbo HD DVR which is Wi-Fi enabled when using a USB Wi-Fi dongle. My set-up has a TP-Link 4 port POE switch connected to the only available LAN port...
