    Help with the correct set up for my home surveillance please.

    That's going to be tough. An I-series is about $500, plus $125 per hard drive. $200-ish per camera, plus cabling, monitor, battery backup, etc.

    Help with the correct set up for my home surveillance please.

    The real question is: What is your budget? Like anything else, you get what you pay for. A couple of thoughts if you're willing to get the good stuff: Get an I-series NVR. Don't get caught up in megapixels. While a "4K" camera is good during the day, it's not that great at night. A good 4mp...

    How Hik-Connect App use data?

    @Kyle are you positive that's how it works when you are on the same LAN? If I am in the Hikconnect app and ask it to play video from an event, it starts instantaneously. As in, a tenth of a second. I find it hard to believe my mobile app can make a request to Hik's servers in China, which then...

    Please help! I’ve no clue what I’m doing

    Natalie: this stuff is really complicated. It's like having car problems without knowing the first thing about cars. You're not going to learn this over the internet. I'm really going to suggest that you call in someone who can help locally - I think you'll get better, and quicker, results. Good...

    Please help! I’ve no clue what I’m doing

    I think most of the (really good) advice offered is for someone who is at least a hobbyist with IP cameras. My suggestion is to call in a pro to help you.

    Hik-Connect Hik-connect remote liveview/playback slow loading/freezing/skipping seconds

    Reboot your NVR. Occasionally I get errors and playback issues, including the famous "too many resources" error message. Reboot of the NVR so far has always cured the problems.

    Location of recording box

    In my experience with an I-series, it depends on how many cameras you have attached. When I setup my system starting out with 3 cameras, I had to be right next to the NVR to hear the fan. It was nearly silent. As I added additional cameras I noticed it getting louder. At 8 cameras, it's noisy. I...

    HIKVISION - Notification when it has the event motion

    Is it going to a gmail account? If so you have to enable less secure apps in gmail in order for it to work. There's a thread on here about it.

    problems with IE

    Is there any reason you can't disable Malwarebytes in order to upgrade the plugin? Or add it to the whitelist?

    Hikvision NVR alarm beep?

    Go to the NVR logs and scroll through them. If it's the HD there will be alarms. Config, maintenance, log.

    Intermittently "Offline(detecting)" status message on my DS-7604NI-K1 / 4P (B) NVR? (1 camera only)

    There is a new firmware version - upload it and see if it helps. No idea what could be causing your problem otherwise - I have two of those cameras and another two being delivered next week. They are fantastic.

    Help please selecting the correct Hikvision camera

    I'm so impressed with these 2347's that I've installed another one today - and ordered another two to replace some 2355's I've had for 3 years. The low light capabilities of these cameras are beyond my expectations. They blow away my 2355's and 2385's.

    Hik-Connect organise favourites in app

    Yes! I order mine the way I want, then upon reopening they are all in reverse order. Minor annoyance but it would be cool if it were fixed.

    Selecting Hikvision cameras for my home?

    But JB, you didn't supply the "proof" like The Bro did. I don't believe you.

    LOL, I read that and thought the same thing. Garbage.

    Help please selecting the correct Hikvision camera

    Andy, maybe these images will help. The first pic is from a 2355 5mp at midnight, with a streetlight about 100 feet to the right: This picture is with an older 2347G1 4mp at midnight. Huge difference. I would assume the G2's are even better.
