I looked at the Hikvision intercom systems, but they are far more than I need. Just a doorbell with a camera would be adequate. Or even a camera with two way audio, but it would also need some form of protection as it would be mounted in a front door porch and so easily accessible to visitors...
Having installed a number of cameras around my property a few years ago, I tend to use this feature in the app i.e. turn it off during the day, however, one day, if Hikvision ever produce a decent colorvu dome camera with 2 way audio, or a decent colorvu video doorbell with 2 way audio (not an...
I am using Hik Connect V4.25.0.0812 and it is working fine for me on my Samsung S21 mobile running Android version 12 (Snow Cone).
I see there is a newer version V4.26.0.0831, but I currently have no intention to upgrade as each time this has happened I've had issues, so don't trust the quality...
Just updated to the latest version of 4.25.0.0812 and at least it isn't crashing on startup!
So, I don't understand why my Hik-Connect app is upgrading to a version that doesn't work, rather than to the latest version, which I have to do manually!
It's been around 6 weeks since I created this thread and today I'm having yet more app problems. The app no longer opens and just crashes. Clearly there's been another update by hik-vision and they have managed to break it again. I can see many people are reporting this issue.
Do hik-vision...
Just to let you know, on the Hikvision appstore (appstore.hikvision.com) there is a newer version of Hik-Connect (4.24.0.0704) and this fixes the playback landscape issue.
I found this website, which has old versions for Android (I have a Samsung S21), but haven't tried it yet and can't vouch for its safety!
Older versions of Hik-Connect (Android) | Uptodown
Are you using the latest version (4.23.0.0610)?
Has this just started to happen?
I've contacted Hikvision support, who asked for additional information, but since then I've heard nothing from them which is disappointing.
I was considering trying to install an earlier version of Hik-Connet to see...
Yes, I have the latest version, but I didn't upgrade the app, so I'm assuming something prompted it to happen as I think the 4.23.0.0610 version was only released about a week ago? If so, it may be that it only updated on my mobile yesterday, possibly as a result of my network change, and...
I've been using Hik-Connect v4.23.0.0610 on my Samsung S21 since January this year and prior to that I used Hik-Connect on a much older Samsung S7 Edge.
Today, I noticed something has changed.
Each morning I go into the Hik-Connect app and click on the button to "Stop" alerts to my mobile. So...
Have a look at this post: Mounting a DS-2CD2347G1-LU turret camera to a DS-1280ZJ-DM21 Junction box?
I purchased these from Amazon and they did the job for me.
I purchased and installed them last August (2021). I started with a couple to test them out, then got an additional 3, so I have 5 installed around the house.
I'm very pleased with them and much prefer the colour image that you get during the night.
I have installed 5 x DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL and successfully used the DM21 for all 5. It is a good solid junction box and does the job well.
I couldn't find any difference apart from the colour of the rubber seal between the DM21 and the PT6 and as the DM21 was cheaper for me to purchase I went...
Hi Rob, sorry for resurrecting this old post, but I'm looking for a Hikvision doorbell I can add to my existing Hikvision setup, but like you , I don't want the intercom station as I'll be using the Hik connect app on my Android mobile to monitor alerts etc, although I still want it to operate...
I did originally look at the Hikvision door bells, but I don't need a screen, so felt their door stations were overkill. Also, while I can easily get a cable into the void above my porch ceiling, it would be very difficult to run one down to a door bell without it being visible, so that also...
Thanks daveb, I hadn't picked up on the fact that this dome camera only had a microphone and not a speaker. That's a real shame as I thought it had everything I needed! This morning I was planning to order a 2.8mm version of it and it would have been very frustrating to have received the...
So, now I've completed testing the setup of my existing cameras and got email, events and the microphones working, I'm ready to purchase and install my final camera, which will be fitted in the porch as shown in my opening post.
I think I'm going to stick with ColorVu and go for the...
I'm pleased to say that despite the vagaries of the Hikvision software, I have now managed to get all 5 cameras to record events by email and through Hik connect, and only for the area I have defined against each camera.
It would appear that the event areas defined using iVMS-4200 are the ones...
