Bump, can we get some help on this please?

Glenn is my friend and I helped him install his system. I have a 7608NI-I-8P which works ok and I get the notifications at the bottom of my Hik-Connect screen. We have tried going through everything on mine to compare but the GUI is totally different. we’ve also compared everything on the...

Hi Gus, Appreciate your help. The file doesn’t load up. So you have a 24vdc t/f supplying the ding dong chime via the Hik door button. Where did you manage to find a 24vdc chime as they all seem to be only 8v? I’m in Westbury Wiltshire by the way, anywhere near?

Phil, just done a quick search and it’s available from several sources. Looks like it could be the answer to my problem.

Hi Gus, Brilliant, thanks for the input. Have you got details of your setup, is it connected to a standard Door chime? What voltage does the Door chime work at and would you have the make model number of it. What kind of results do you get with the images in day and night time operation? Does...

Thanks Phil. Can you recommend a Doorbell Camera that will interface with my NVR easily?

I still haven’t resolved this issue yet. I get there are no moving parts as such, other than fans but I’m not sure whether I should have the unit facing up or down. If it’s facing down I’m concerned dust/debris could enter any of the socket/ports etc. If it faces up would the ventilation work as...

In some ways yes and others no. First off I wanted to retain the existing door bell arrangement and it’s simplicity if the technology failed. Also the door unit doesn’t have that high of a resolution that I would like. Yes I agree it’s a ready made unit but the other reasons out weigh that, I think

Hi, I’m looking to add a camera for my front door to set up similar to a Ring Door Bell. I’m considering the DS-2CD2555FWD-IS The idea is to hook a relay to my existing door bell so it’s activated when the door bell is pressed and then have this connected to the input alarm on the camera. Then...

I have enabled motion detection on 3 cams and tried to ensure no false alarms are picked up by drawing the areas where nothing should activate unless someone or something actually goes into my yard etc. Unfortunately I'm getting lots of notifications now coming through but there is no motion on...

Funnily enough I have the same NVR as you and just done the same thing. I set up motion detection on 3 of the cameras and today its going off all the time lol. Its set so that casual traffic/people don't go into a box, but it seems the change in light from full sun to cloudy on the floor is also...

Hi Gus, Great, thanks. Did the mouse just work or did it need drivers?

Hi Guys, Does anyone know if you can run a Bluetooth mouse on the NVR. I’m positioning the NVR remote and having an HDMI cable to my main TV so then I want to be able to change setting from there. Will the NVR need drivers for a Bluetooth mouse and if it does will it download automatically? If...

Good question, that’s something I have to do. Will be interested to see how we get notifications to work. I have motion detection set up and it just shows an alert on the main screen of the NVR. If you click on it, then it replays with approx 1min lead in so you don’t miss anything. It’s just a...

Hi Everyone, I have an up and running DS-7608NI-I2-8P with 8mp Turrets and I now want to cover the front door with something like a Ring doorbell. Ideally an ip camera that will work with the NVR to give full back up. It should have audio in and out and also what I’d like to do is use the...

I currently have my NVR connected to both an IPad and IPhone with Hik Connect working ok. I was wondering is there any difference with the iVM app, is it worth using that instead? Is it better, worse or just the same?

No, how do you do that?

Hi Guys, So I had a working system with the above NVR connected to 2 x 8mp Turrets, this was on test on my work bench. I even had it workin to the Hik Connect. I’ve just changed internet providers to a company called Zen. At the same time I purchased a 3rd camera to hook up so I could have all 3...

Hi Everyone, I’m trying to decide on the best position of my NVR. I planned on using a cupboard in the middle of the house as it has power and the fibre router in there. Unfortunately the NVR is too big to have it sat in its normal config flat on its feet. My question is, has anyone ever...

Phil, thanks for the info. Still not sure on its reason. Does my NVR have to access web pages to work or is it if I need to find things from the internet via the NVR, if so what would that be. Or is it if a access via a PC? I currently only have IPhone and IPad which I’ve managed to connect with...
