I've used a pair of the Hikvision DarkFighter (1x2M and 1x3M) in key areas and there is some light available. The full-colour seems to struggle but B&W seems OK. I've come to understand the limitations of "reasonably" priced cameras at night (basically they aren't capable). I appreciate your...

Thanks, Digilec. I’m interested in a wide DoF (targets can be some distance to really quite close) but trying to keep the shutter speed as high as poss at night to reduce blurring but not so fast I have to increase the Gain with it’s associated noise. I’ve learnt over the last year that this is...

Thanks, Digilec, but if the iris is in “auto” what happens then. I thought setting it to 50 was probably a medium DoF, but what happens “automatically”? Does the camera try to maintain that DoF but this will change when light conditions change as it opens/closes? I read that an auto iris should...

When enabling Auto Iris, you can change the setting between 0 and 100. But what does this mean? The usual (quite useless) Hikvision manuals say "If Auto is selected, you can set the auto iris level from 0 to 100." - not very helpful.... Can anyone help, please? At the moment I've set to 50, but...

I do have the cameras’ Max Data Rates set to their maximum of 16m, but I think with H265+ it ignores that.

I should have mentioned that until use-ip were good enough to swap my NVR (for the same model) I had even worse problems. The picture looked ok, again at lower data rates, but any significant movement caused freezing, ghosting and huge green-outs. So I’m in a much better position now as I don’t...

Hi, Stewart. I am running a substream at 2fps and Higher quality with max data rate 256k (for remote 3G access) but I don’t think that should have much effect. I’ve seen the calculators but I can’t seem to get close, at least not consistently. When I monitor the data rate on the bottom of the...

Has anyone seen this? When connecting to the NVR via its local HDMI screen and put the mouse on the icon at the bottom that shows FPS, encoding algorithm and (I assume) data rate, I've seen some strange readings. On several cameras I noticed the data rate seemed very high (12mbps to 30mbps) when...

Yes, it is, Phil.

Just updated my DS-2CD2385FWD-I s to 5.5.80 from 5.5.61 and experienced problems: 1. NVR (7732NI-I4) showing "No Resource" message on some cameras at both Main Stream and Sub-Stream. Seemed to move from camera to camera but mainly my newer higher-quality (data rate) cameras. Saw on Live View...

Any news from Hikvision, Phil? I'm surprised we're in this position and they're struggling for a fix when it seems apparent Apple was going the same route as others. I'm going to have to buy a PC and Explorer if this isn't sorted as not only can't I see images on my Mac and it makes configuring...

Hi, Stewart. I've tried turning the IR off and messed with loads of settings; still can't force it to mono. It's a challenging image as a lot of the shot is a textured driveway which it doesn't like very much and which generates a lot of noise, certainly when trying to run colour in the...

I’ve an area which is reasonably lit where other Hikvision turrets struggled to get a good quality image (single frame) of a moving person at night, so I’ve tried Nightfighter. However, there seems to be too much light as whilst the camera does seem to switch to a night mode, it stays in colour...

SeaMonkey update.. Live View works if you choose multi-screen (low rez only). If you have multiple screens open and then go to single screen the original cameras used for the Multiscreen seem to stay enabled and there is no image shown. If you click on Play Back and then go to Live, single...

SeaMonkey doesn't seem to work for me. No Live View or Play Back. Running version 2.49.4 - any clues? All I've done is downloaded it, run it and connected to the NVR (7742NI-14 latest code) The data's there as I can see it on IVMS4500.

Firefox seems to work for Live View (you need a single window to pay the main stream), but Playback seems full of holes.

I thought it was something on the camera but in the very first NVR screen "Local", there's a menu I've not touched before "Live View Parameters". In the "Encryption Key" there were the black dots indicating "something" was configured and I was loathe to touch it as I had no idea what was entered...

Sorted....

I've set up Hit-Connect so I have remote access via my iPad but I now cannot get "Live View" when connected to the NVR (DS-7732) locally via web browser. This is the message I get. If I disable the Hik-Vision option (which turns off the Verification Code" the Live View works. Any thoughts on...
