Is it possible to add a Reolink E1 Outdoor PoE (E1 Outdoor PoE - 4K PTZ PoE Security Camera With Auto Tracking | Reolink Official) to a Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2 / 16P?
If it is, would the PTZ and zoom functions be available through the NVR or would they be restricted to the Reolink app?
I've spent too much time trying to connect a Reolink POE doorbell camera to my DS-7616NI-M2 / 16P and have failed miserably. Anyone able to help with easy to follow instructions please?
Weird! I've gone back to it and double clicked on the entry (as I did several times earlier) and I've been able to initialise it.
Thanks for your help: appreciated.
Yes, two cables. The HDD is visible in the initial setup wizard, it's only the tick box to select it that's missing.
The label is 1, the capacity is shown, the state is uninitialised, property R/W and type Local
I'm setting up a new NVR and have got as far as initialising a new 4GB HDD but the box to tick to select it is not present on the screen. Clicking 'Init' tells me to select the HDD. I can't!
Is there something I'm missing or do I ignore, move on, and come back to it later?
There is only a very narrow gap either side of our car when it's in the garage and it's always a worry that the passenger side is going to get a scrape against the wall (yes, it's a very narrow gap!) when it's being driven in or out.
My thought is that I could mount a camera on the wall or...
That's popped up with something of a concern. I bought the NVR in October 2021, 528 days ago but the self-test page shows 'Power On: 1853Day(s)' which calculates to February 2018!
Model: DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P
Live view shows all eight of my cameras but clicking on Playback I get a 'No record file' error. The hard disk shows 0 free space so I have reformatted it. It still shows 0 free space.
Looking at the logs and selecting 'Exception', I am seeing multiple (2000!)...
I have five of my eight cameras connected to my DS-7608NI-E2 / 8P/A NVR using PoE (automatically assigned as 192.168.254.x) but the original three were set up with their own fixed IP addresses (192.168.178.xx).
How can I persuade the system to forget the three fixed IP addresses and use...
Hi and thanks for the response.
The firmware is V3.4.103 build 181226 and I've attached screen grabs of the self test results which (to me) appear to be OK.
We had a brief power cut (10 minutes or so) a couple of weeks ago and since then playback on the monitor attached to the DS-7608NI-E2 / 8P/A DVR, and on any computer (wired desktop, wireless laptop, Android phone) on the network, fails.
The HDD LED on the DVR is permanently lit and shows a very...
Thanks. My laptop screen looks like yours but I cannot find a screen on the directly-connected monitor on which to set/unset encryption. Could you give me a clue please? And thanks for sticking with this!
I dug out a rarely used laptop and playback works! Windows 10, IE 11 are both the same versions. I can only imagine it's something within IE that's the problem but I can't see anything within the available settings, nor can I see how to transfer IE's settings across. Frustrating!
