Still have this problem on Android, now up to version 2.3.2 but no change...

Personally I have only had this happen on a few cameras. I support over 60 HikVision cameras of all ages, some of which are over 10 years old that are still sealed and still work fine. Discounting ones that failed due to being installed without the weatherproof cable glands I have probably...

I have had this on a couple of (many) cameras over the years - I guess the seals somewhere just deterioirate allowing a bit of moisture in. Sometimes it will just clear itself depending on the weather, sometimes you can take down and put indoors somewhere warm for several days to clear. But...

Depending on if you wire to T568A or T568B standards see the two columns below. I use T568B which the bulletin says is actually different from @JB1970 - in that grey/purple are the other way around - the bulletin says grey to blue/white and purple to blue. I have done a few of these pigtail...

There is no default password, as part of the install process you have to specify a password for the "admin" user. Most of my cameras are connected to PoE switches not NVRs so I usually setup cameras using the HikVision SADP tool first on a PoE switch / laptop / private network before then...

You will probably have to do a factory reset of the camera. Usually the reset button is under the small cover (2 screws) where the memory card slot is. Disconnect the camera, then hold the button down while you connect it/power it. Keep holding the button for 30 seconds then release. The camera...

I gave up years ago trying to use web browsers for live view/playback - as you have found HikVision support for that is just a joke really. I use iVMS-4200 for pretty much all local and remote live view/playback. I have used rtsp streams before successfully for remote live view - e.g. in the...

Yes it can be adjusted but in my own experience to capture plates reliably at night the exposure needs to be high (I use 1/2000) and with an exposure setting like that the video feed at night with no lights will show/record total black. During the day the video feed will record and show fine...

Thanks, filter is set to "All" and makes no difference filtering on other things.

Thanks for the info. So am I right in thinking previously with HikVision there were no software costs but now with this new Hik Central licencing/pricing they are pushing everyone to hardware AND software costs? So now it looks like if you spend thousands on a HikVision NVR with lots of...

I use SmartPSS on a PC and Live View & Playback work fine for my system there. I use DMSS App on Android and Live View & Playback used to work without any problem. I don't use the app for playback very often but now I notice that with the current version 2.1.11 Playback does not work at all...

I have a few HikVision ANPR cameras with the motorised zoom (which your camera has). Like @JB1970 already said you need to check the focus setting (my cameras web interface it's in Configuration -> Image -> Focus). If this setting is auto you can get the camera to "re-auto" focus by changing...

@Kyle thanks, I will try the firmware. SVC is disabled on all streams and this is directly on the same network. The NVR (DS-7616NI-K2 / 16P) is on v4.72.107 220914 but doesn't have that setting, on the NVR native interface under Record -> Advanced I just see: Overwrite (Enabled) HDD Sleeping...

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...

I don't know anything about the portable power stations but if the power station offers uninterrupted power if the mains power goes down then there is no reason it couldn't work. Essentially then it is just the same as UPS. But if it's just a portable thing you charge up and then plug mains...

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...

On the sites I manage I have used APC UPS devices, if it's just for CCTV (e.g. PoE NVR or NVR plus PoE switch) then one of the Home/Office range such as their Back-UPS range. For more kit (e.g. a rack with a lot more devices something larger like the Easy UPS. They have replaceable batteries...

@JB1970 sorry, I was talking about via iVMS-4200. I generally don't have easy access to the NVR themselves as most are on remote sites. However, the NVR on this topic is local so on the NVR interface itself I can now see some events. It's like this: NVR Playback I have "Normal", "Smart" or...

@alfaclvi thanks for the tip - if I do what you said it does not seem to have any affect. Nothing changes, no change to timeline or searching. @JB1970 thanks, I checked all settings again via NVR web interface. And I thought that it would only search for events since config changes. But all my...

@JB1970 many thanks for the detailed response. But so far I still have had no luck! I don't really want or need intrusion detection or line crossing detection, although I have set those up below just to try and get some sort of events on the timeline. All I really wanted to do is have any and...
