Hik-Connect 6.2.51 has been released in the last 24 hours. 'Bug fix' is all that's detailed for the release on the iOS App Store. It does seem (for me) to have resolved or at least massively improved the loading of the timeline when selecting playback. Previously this could take upward of 20...

Another bug. I'm unable to determine whether the bug is with: Hik-Connect 6.2.18.20240229.2 G5 firmware 5.7.14_build231213 M series firmware 5.02.000_build240229 The bug regards control of the Hybrid Light Cameras mode in Hik-Connect. After clicking the icon for 'Compensation Light...

I'm wondering if anyone has had disk issues with the DS-7716NI-M4? I installed one in late November (firmware 4.63.020) and installed four 6TB Toshiba S300 drives. Jan 31st I arrived to do some additional work and found the recorder showing a 'HDD Error' and going into the storage...

I noticed yesterday that there's a new firmware build for the DS-KV6113 intercom (c revision). There's no change to the firmware version (2.2.65), but there's a new build date. This is now the third build date: 2.2.65_build230504 2.2.65_build230703 2.2.65_build231213 The 230703 build added...

A little bug to report with the DS-KV6113-WPE1(c). Or maybe not a bug but improvement needed by Hikvision... The most recent firmware (2.2.65_230703) added the ability to switch the relay output functionality on the unit from 'Electric Lock' to 'Mechanical Doorbell' as shown below: The idea...

Not sure what's going on with Hik-Connect. There have been several updates over the last week or so. Switching to Playback from Live View, the timeline shows just one hour available from 11PM until midnight. It's doing this for all cameras on my system and others systems. No matter what date...

This may be of interest to some who use the KV6113 and other Villa Door Stations that don't use the lock release.... Previously if you wanted to use the villa door stations in a home/residential setup without a lock release (IE you just want to use it as a doorbell); there was no means to add...

New firmware for the M series has appeared on the global product page. There are no release notes as yet and it's not been updated on the UK product page....guinea pigs beware. I won't post the link as it's not yet on the UK site but the version is 4.63.020 build 230724.

The new ColorVu with Smart Hybrid light cameras are now available. As previous posts have detailed these are a hardware enhancement to the existing second generation ColorVu with AcuSense cameras, using the same G5 firmware. First generation ColorVu and AcuSense cameras...

New firmware for the M series NVRs has appeared on both the UK and global product pages. The new version is 4.63.010_230619 and is linked below (Hikvision UK product page). No release notes as yet. Updating mine now and will update below if I can see any changes...

I just received the following from Hikvision. I'll share this here as no doubt many will see this program and wonder "is my system secure?". A better question might be "is my firmware up to date?" No network connected device will ever be fit and forget - security vulnerabilities are found and...

Many of the new Hikvision NVRs and DVRs (and some others with newer firmware) are able to connect to WiFi directly with an appropriate USB adapter or 'dongle'. Previously you would need to use either: A WiFi extender that has an RJ45 port enabling connection of a wired device. They work, but...

***SOLVED*** 4.63.005 appears to have broken VCA search with the NVR possible discarding VCA data sent by the camera. In Smart Playback, markers are shown automatically for pre configured events. Using the VCA search and 'Draw Line' then automatically updates the markers to reflect the...

Hik-Connect Alarm Enable Disable Issues In 4.63.000 (with Hik-Connect 5.1.x) there was an issue with the event notification enable/disable function (the bell icon in the app). The button appeared to work displaying a message that notifications were enabled/disabled but it had no effect and...

Interesting new feature in Hik-Connect for both iOS and Android. Gone is the Bell icon for globally enabling/disabling push notifications. The new version allows you to create area cards, to handle alarms in groups. You can create multiple groups of cameras (a camera can only be in one group...

The smart hybrid (dual light ColorVu and IR) cameras have now been announced. The first two products (8MP bullet and 8MP turret) have product pages on the Hikvision UK website. There's are a few articles online regarding the announcement such as this one - Hikvision unveils ColorVu tech with...

@Phil - Can anything be done about that or is it enforced for some reason? After 30 minutes it's not possible to edit/delete a post which is problematic: 1 - I can't correct typo's 2 - I can't add relevant information to an existing post without adding as a reply 3 - I can't delete a post if...

New firmware for the M series NVR is available on the Hikvision UK website. Version 4.63.000_230412. No release notes as yet. I'm about to install it. Hopefully it'll resolve the issue with events from alarm inputs not being searchable from Custom Playback. It's available here...

Just noticed that there's some new firmware for the G5 platform cameras (G2 AcuSense and ColorVu models with C revision) 5.7.13_230403. The release notes indicate a few fixes for the not yet released dual light cameras and the addition of a human/vehicle filter within Hik-Connect (as is...

@Kyle - It might be worth mentioning to Hikvision technical (though they must surely be aware of it by now as it has been present for 6 months or more across various models of NVR and DVR). To reproduce - just pause playback and roll the mouse wheel back and forth. It should reverse frame by...
