Thx ! I will read more on them later when I get home. They are in my price range though. I am just guessing that since the image sensor is the same on both, that the 4mp would yield better at night?

JB I'm in the US and honestly never thought to try and search HIKs main site. I purchase through an authorized reseller so for me that is mainly B&H photo over here. I had only tried searching their site for the model you listed at the top of the post. Having the cam do both IR and White LED...

JB learning a lot reading your posts! Still have more cams to buy and looks like this model is not available to me yet. I wonder if they will make it in dome fashion? I've been looking at a DS-2CD2547G2-LS 4mm for something on the narrower side of my house for a little vandal resistance but now...

Thx ! I am glad it's not just me... :)

Thanks John and Kyle. Being on or off wifi doesn't seem to matter I don't think. I have gotten so few of them though like maybe 6 out of 90+ alerts that I'm not sure I noted whether it was on or not. I have never had this work and then they broke since this is a new unit and I've only been using...

I confirmed. I just didn't list them that way up there. Sorry. In Channel Mgmt D1 is the camera that has alerts turned off and D3 is the camera that has them on. When I go to Event-Basic D3 camera, its set to Notify Surv Center, Trigger Alarm A>1, and Record Linkage D3 When I go to Search at...

Will do and will update later. Gotta go get the kiddos registered for school.

Thanks. Yeah they are both G5. I will check out the firmware as soon as I get in from work. I had setup the cams to also record to their SD card on the off chance something happened and the NVR got stolen etc. Looks like I could setup though another network drive, place somewhere and use that...

I only have two cams so far. Was waiting on getting everything ok before buying more. NVR: DS-7616NI-M2 /16P - Firmware Version: V4.63.006 build 230526 Encoding Version: V5.0 build 230407 Hardware Version: B-R-K21B1-00 Cam1 (alerts are on) I go to picture tab and there are lots of files...

Thanks. Yeah I tried that. Connected and disconnected from wifi. Even now several hours later, the same thing happens. I click notifications, then they all show a HIKVISION logo that after a couple seconds changes to a broken image. If I scroll down a little further there are a couple that came...

Well did everything. Set everything, removed the entry from the phone, restarted router and nvr. Logged into NVR and opened up HIK-Connect app and scanned QR code. It added it right in. All of the same DDNS settings are still there from before in the mobile app. I can edit them but I dont see a...

Ah ok. yes I did read about the DDNS in the HIK Connect and exactly what you mention. I will turn that off like yours and see if I start getting thumbnail images consistently. If I wanted to use DDNS, I would need to have those setting on in the app AND in the NVR right? There under Basic...

Thanks. Ok I can turn off that port forwarding in the router no problem. Then on the NVR, I dont need to do anything with the port mapping. I had previously changed these ports and right now it shows upnp as off and the port mapping mode is set to auto but its greyed out. I have turned off the...

I have been reading through a lot of the posts here and learning a lot. I hope someone can explain some things to me. The last time I had an HIK nvr was prob 9 years ago and I got alerts through email only I have an DS-7616NI-M2 16ch running FW 4.63.006 build 23056 Backstory is I setup my...
