I'm fairly experienced with Hikvision, having a 5 camera system and Hik NVR running the past couple of years so i'm used to their, ahem, quirks where it works one day and then for no apparent reason stops working on another day when nothing has changed. My system has been fairly stable the past...

I have a DS-2DE4425IW-DE PTZ which doesn't offer smart tracking. I have another camera and when this camera detects intrusion i'd like the PTZ to move position to get additional coverage from a different angle, and have got this to work via PTZ linking. What I can't figure out though is how I...

Thanks! That helps. So mine is R7 and I've found R7 firmware folder, indicating i'm on latest version, and also suggesting they probably won't be releasing any more updates for it! Since I only bought the camera in about March of last year, not ideal but there you go. Thanks for the help!

Hi sorry if this has been asked/answered anywhere else - I have tried searching but couldnt find it. I have a DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P DVR with 5 camera. I am using web interface to DVR, don't have a direct connected monitor and can't have one based on where it is located. I want to set it up to...
