    When is camera firmware downgrade possible?

    I've not tried it with the cameras. I've never needed to and would rather be up to date. When upgrading, the advice is to step through the base version to avoid issues so perhaps the same goes with downgrading. Although that's the advice, I didn't ever have an issue just updating to the...

    When is camera firmware downgrade possible?

    Going from 5.7.3 to 5.7.19 directly is not an issue. If you want to downgrade afterwards it's not an issue, I've done that plenty of times.

    DS-2CD2366G2-ISU/SL RJ45 pigtail wiring

    I’ve never needed to re-terminate one but found this on my files which I saved at some point: Edit: removed as possibly inaccurate.

    Tablet for Hik App - Amazon Fire or Alternative

    There’s lots you can do with Fully Kiosk browser. I was using that with my dashboards to keep the screen awake, return to a specific screen etc. You can also use that to wake the screen using motion from the camera. It might be worth a look. A lifetime device licence was about £8 I think.

    Tablet for Hik App - Amazon Fire or Alternative

    It doesn't need to be anything too flash to run Hik-Connect. I'm no expert on Android tablets but I'd probably go Lenovo, which is what I'd get to replace my Fire's when the time comes. Aren't Samsung devices known for being full of bloatware? Also I recall hearing that Samsung were slower to...

    M Series NVR - Firmware V5.04.070 Release 250828

    Maybe, maybe not. Who knows with Hikvision. I did notice a couple of weeks ago that all links for the DS-76xxNI-M2 were gone from the UK, EU, and Global firmware search pages which is strange. However I've noticed that happen with some camera models previously too, only to re appear. Mine...

    Tablet for Hik App - Amazon Fire or Alternative

    I’ve also read about battery issues but never had a problem. I’ve 4 wall mounted Fire HDs around the house used to display my Hubitat dashboards, including a stream for one of my cameras; they’ve been permanently connected to the chargers for 4 years without issue.

    Tablet for Hik App - Amazon Fire or Alternative

    I would go with the Lenovo tablet. Amazon Fire's use their own Fire OS which is based on Android, but the version it's based on is usually a few behind. Also, unless it has changed, Hik-Connect is not available from the Amazon App Store so you need to either side load it from an apk file, or...

    Door Entry KV6113-WPE1(C) - New Firmware [3.7.0_250317] - (pulled - no longer available)

    Yes. You just downgrade in the same you upgrade. I will say that I've had issues upgrading the firmware via the web interface a couple of times and had to resort to using iVMS-4200 to do the update but YMMV. Regardless you would want to download and save a copy of your current firmware build...

    Door Entry KV6113-WPE1(C) - New Firmware [3.7.0_250317] - (pulled - no longer available)

    I guess you'll have to try it out for yourself. You can always downgrade if it's not for you. I believe the 6113 has been superseded with a newer model so I'd expect it to 'end of life' and only receive firmware updates for security fixes.

    Best Indoor WiFi Camera?

    I wonder if it’s model dependent or perhaps something got addded in one of the many Hik-Connect updates. I have a spare one unopened I’ll check it later…

    Best Indoor WiFi Camera?

    I’ve not tried it myself but I’m sure someone mentioned that the EZVIZ app is needed to set the WiFi up on an EZVIZ camera. Although the process is similar Hik-Connect wouldn’t recognise the EZVIZ camera for WiFi setup purposes. I’m not sure if that’s the case.

    Leaving house - reset factory settings for handover?

    That’s fine. You can still delete the site (unbind) from your account exactly as I described above. The system doesn’t need to be online when you do it (your phone just needs to have an internet connection) You can also change your admin password without being connected. If you get a message...

    PTRZ and ColorVue 3.0/Audio 2.0

    Audio 2.0 is fine, the issue is that with the noise filter turned on in the camera it's completely garbled. This isn't an issue on any of the previous models without Audio 2.0. I've tried the cameras with the noise filter turned on and gone through the various available codecs but the issue...

    Hikconnect issues / VCAs

    I don't know - there's no detail about that in the release notes for 4.84.100 which is the latest version.

    Hikconnect issues / VCAs

    That's fine. Max as full screen is normal.

    PTRZ and ColorVue 3.0/Audio 2.0

    I wouldn't think so. I expect ColorVu 3.0 is only available on the G3 models. For me Audio 2.0 is not all as it has been hyped. With Environmental Noise Filter on the sound is electronic garble and a downgrade to the previous model.

    Hikconnect issues / VCAs

    I'd always advise setting up intrusion/line crossing initially without min/max boxes to ensure they trigger. Once working you can introduce those to filter out false alerts. I forget which NVR you have but if you're looking at the local UI you'll find it in the top right corner of the screen...

    Best Indoor WiFi Camera?

    TBF sometimes it’s difficult enough getting a Hikvision camera to work correctly with a Hikvision NVR due to various firmware anomalies. It’s a while since I set up basic events on an EZVIZ and I might be remembering incorrectly so do try it via ivms 4200 as that may work better (for altering...
