I have several ANPR cameras but a single one has this strange issue which I have never encountered before: The substream is set to 640x480 / Variable / Medium / 10fps / 512 Max bit rate. The substream looks fine most of the time when there is no movement, but as soon as there is movement (e.g...

My basic question is: What is a good value brand or brands to look at for a home 4 camera PoE system? I have loads of experience with "proper" HikVision systems on large sites and a tiny bit of experience with a small Dahua system, but a friend has asked me to look into a replacement for an old...

I had a camera feed which start coming and going intermittently. When I took it down, the connection was fine (no water damage) but then I noticed that something (I assume a mouse) had got into the camera bracket and nibbled the actual camera cable! On further inspection I can't see any damage...

Is there any definitive post or guide to this? I have seen various posts but still not been able to do what I want. I thought in the past that my NVR's / cameras were too old to support this sort of thing. But now I have an old NVR which shows Human/Vehicle options on the timeline (as does...

Has anyone used "SmartPSS Lite" and if so how does it compare to "SmartPSS v2"? Which should I use for basic viewing/admin? What is missing from the "Lite" version? I went to Dahua Website today (UK page) to try and download whatever is their main Windows software for viewing/administering...

I have a UK DS-7616NI-M2/16P NVR which was supplied with firmware V4.63.020_230808 (Don't know if it's relevant but hardware version is B-R-K21B1-00) I have read through the couple of long threads here about M-Series V5 firmware and I thought as things have now hopefully settled down and...

I have a few of the newer H8 ANPR cameras iDS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHSY I have experience with the older versions of these cameras and know how to tweak exposure settings etc on those to get reliable plate capture day and night. However, the new H8 models have very different camera sensors which seem...

I have a new ANPR camera model iDS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHSY (H8) Running latest firmware currently V5.7.80_230712 (in the UK). On some PC's/browsers (e.g. Firefox on Windows) the very top bar in the web camera interface shows 4 options: Live View Configuration Smart Display VCA But on other...

Anyone bought HikVision switches in the past? I was looking at a 16 port HikVision PoE switch, such as: DS-3E1318P-EI or DS-3E1518P-SI Does anyone know if these come with rack-mount brackets? The specs say nothing about brackets, the manuals say nothing either, some PDF docs I have seen show...

My understanding is that if you connect a HikVision camera direct to an NVR then it can't access the internet in any way? Is that still correct? e.g. for my ANPR cameras I set them up to FTP captured images to a remote server. To do that I have had to connect them to a PoE switch even when all...

I have always used one brand cameras/NVRs so have no experience with this and would appreciate advice. An XVision NVR was working fine with a single HikVision ANPR camera. The camera went faulty and I was asked to configure a new one and replace. But I did not know beforehand it was an XVision...

I just randomly checked one of my NVRs playback function today and I am getting the "no record file found" error for all cameras. Panicking a bit as I don't know how long this has been not recording for. Always been fine in the past. All my other NVRs are working fine. iVMS-4200 v3.10.1.5...

I updated an H8 firmware ANPR camera (iDS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHSY) to the latest firmware on the UK portal (V5.8.20 231024) But now I see the captured photos have the camera view OSD text overlay included on them (actually over the photo). This is bad for two reasons: 1) It's not necessary as you...

I just installed a new ANPR camera (iDS-2CD7A26G0/P-IZHSY with H8 firmware on v5.7.80) to replace an older failed model. Some previous model HikVision ANPR cameras used to log a "NOPLATE" read in the case where they detected a vehicle but could not read a plate. (older ones did not do this at...

For the last week or so when I go to the UK portal I either get an error page with some HikVision email links or a portal site with seemingly no Firmware. And it can change minute to minute for some reason. Does anyone know if the UK portal being retired? Links are...

I recently installed iVMS 3.9.0.5_E (on Windows 11). Due to problems I uninstalled previous version, rebooted and installed this new version so in theory its a fresh install. I am having 2 main problems and wondered if anyone else experiencing issues: 1) When I start main view all the feeds...

I upgraded my iVMS-4200 from V3.3.1.8_E to V3.9.0.5_E (on Windows 11) Is it normal that you have to run as (Windows administrator? Every time you run the software it says you must allow the software to make changes to your system - i.e. a Windows privileged admin login is required. If so this...

Is there is any way in iVMS-4200 to have 2 main views running concurrently? e.g. a main view 1 on one screen/workspace and a main view 2 on another screen/workspace. If not, is there any way to achieve this? Perhaps using another bit of HikVision software running alongside iVMS-4200 to provide...

I have a camera (DS-2CD2345FWD-I) where the reset button has been broken off the circuit board. And I don't know the current camera password. Is there any way to reset it? I bought a HikVision NVR and 9 HikVision cameras second hand. Previous owner did not know passwords but between us we did...

I updated the firmware on one of my NVRs DS-7616NI-K2 from V4.31.105 build 210727 to V4.71.005 build 220524 Firmware from the UK portal here. NVR seems fine but straight away one of my ANPR cameras went into constant boot loop. All cameras are connected via network NOT direct to NVR...
