My 3rd party onvif cameras (not dahua) I had to change the IP address of these cameras to be visible by the internal NIC address of the NVR (so my case 192.168.254.100+) I also changed the IP camera username and password to be admin and 12345 (one of the defaults I believe) this allowed the NVR...

Hi, Does anyone know if when connecting an ONVIF camera to an Hikvision NVR via plug 'n' play, does it alter the password to the IP camera? I manually set the IP camera password to a default expected by Hikvision NVR, and changed the ip address to be within the Hikvision NVR subnet. After...

Hi there, Does hikvision sell/offer or anyone know if I can buy some spare foam rings for the dome cameras (DS-2CD2185FWD-I)?

I've had success before with a firestick with hik-connect APK side loaded in (loads of tutorials on YouTube on how to load apks onto a firestick) I assume an android box would be easier as the playstore would be already there for you. Most Android boxes come with WiFi in-built anyway so no...

If the cameras are recording at different resolutions, that will also cause the text to be larger etc on some cameras compared to others.

Interesting. I've not had any issues thus far on a couple K2 NVRs upgraded. What's the way forward then, not to upgrade NVRs? The new v4 seems to have better compatibility with the hikvision app in terms of passing through camera names and allowing NVR alias name change etc.. so clients have...

I was under the assumption that the IP camera: DS-2CD2386G2-I has a LED built in to flash when motion/intrusion detected etc? I see no option to set this under the cameras setting... what are the two LED like cut outs for then?

Any updates on this? @Phil

Hi there, quick question.. is the mount: DS-1294ZJ compatible with the camera: DS-2CD2385G1-I. I need a mount that has a small surface area (needs to be mounted onto a flat porch sofit which is very narrow - too narrow for the camera to mount directly)

I see - so this creates a dynamic ddns in the background? Also After "DDNS being enabled, the devices will be accessed via IP address in priority" - what does this mean?

Hey all, quick question, what is the "Configure DDNS" settings option on the hik-connect app. This is needed prior to "Remote Configuration" it seems.. just not sure what this option is/does? This video shows the option I'm referring to: Thanks

Hey there, Anyone know the difference between the EU hikvision portal vs the UK portal for firmware updates? Thanks

I've successfully managed to get hik-connect APK on a firestick before. Just Google how to download android apks on a firestick and just replicate for the hik-connect app.

Smart Supplement Light - what does this setting do in the IP camera settings?

Switched over to it on my Android. So far so good. Apart from the UI change, I see events playback as an option. I don't seem to have it set up correctly, as I've got smart events enabled but not to notify the surveillance center. So I think it only shows the notifications sent to the...

Also for anyone looking for the Android version 4 app it's available as an APK from the official hikvision website: Hik-Connect Doesn't seem to be released in play store as of yet

Any manuals for the new iOS hikconnect app? The new version of Hik-Connect (V4.0.0) provides a new design and better experience. 1.Optimized UI and visual design to provide a more user-friendly experience. 2.Supports event playback in the playback module, which provides a convenient way to...

Also enabled DHCP mode on the NVR? Only other thing I can think of is to manually port forward the ports needed from the sky router. Making the IP static for the NVR from the router settings

Seems like ISP change. Most likely port forwarding issues. Firstly enable DHCP mode on the NVR incase the prior settings were static for the old ISP. Then enable UPnP on the NVR and also on the BT hub. BT HUB log into the settings via 192.168.1.254 - advanced settings - port forwarding -...

Thanks for the reply. The camera model I was looking for was: DS-2CD2183G0-I with the mount: DS-1272ZJ-110 Im going to have to install a dome camera outside which is fairly low down and prone to vandalism, thus needed some kind of rain protection.. haven't been able to find any images of it...
