Hi, I've tried the above, and I can see my feed on the Hik Connect app using this method. However, I still can't see anything when logged into the browser administration page via Chrome. The live view and playback pages still say " no plug-in detected", whereas previously it used to show my the...

Also, I seem to be able to get remote playback to work in IVMS, but live view still doesn't. Not sure why?

Yes the register status says Online. (screenshot provided) This was as it was set up with the old router. Haven't changed anything. Still can't see the feed in IVMS. Using Chrome to access the configuration page as I heard Safari was broken? The live view in the browser says "no plugin detected"

OK so I had to change the DHCP settings, thanks! It's now active and the cameras are showing as active, but when I try to get the feed to play on the main view screen on ivms, it won't show up. Just grey boxes. The camera thumbnails do show a green "play" icon next to them, but no feed! I've...

Hi all I've got a 3 camera set up with a DS7604NI-K1 NVR. I've changed my router from an Asus to a Ubiquiti and connected everything back up. No longer able to connect to my camera system on iVMS or the web module. iVMS is showing the device as active when I search for it but says it...

Q1: Yes connected to POE on NVR. That's great, I've found them via logging into the NVR online. Q2. Here is the screenshot. But as per your recommendation, I've managed to change the encoding settings using the browser rather than iVMS. Q3: Thank for that tip, I'll use the browser instead if...

Q3. Scheduling In the following screenshot on the Scheduling page, All day template presumably means continuous recording? What do pre and post record refer to if I’m recording continuously? What is Capture?

I bought 3x 2385 8MP Turret cams and a 7604 NVR from this site. Installed everything yesterday and downloaded iVMS. I have some questions about the configuration process. I’m using a MacBook Pro with the latest OSX and Safari browser. I have a number of questions with regards to configuring...

Ah yes, I got confused, it was h265+ that the K series (B) models gained, not V4 upgrade. Looking at posts on this forum and elsewhere, it seems like it's not that big of a deal for me, as I won't be using a directly connected monitor to access the NVR/streams (rather I will be using my Mac...

Thanks Phil. Have bought the 8 channel NVR from you guys, just got the cameras and junction boxes to get next. Think I've made the decision to go for 3 cameras instead of 6 (indoor ones are unnecessary). I was therefore looking at the 4 channel K series NVR you sell instead. It seems as if...

Thanks for your response Phil - I've just ordered your 8 channel I model of the Hikvision NVR. If I could ask a follow up question - I have seen the tutorial for activating and viewing a HV camera on a Mac (that you linked to above) in the tutorial megathread. However, my interpretation of...

I'm about to buy the Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2-8P 8 Channel Network Video Recorder. I've seen the mega thread tutorial and can see the instructions for how to install/set up the NVR using Windows and an external monitor/mouse ([Tutorial Megathread] Getting Started With Your Hikvision System)...

Thanks Phil. I also wanted to ask about bracket/housings that you guys sell. I want my outdoor turret cams to attach to the wall and for the POE cable to go directly out of the back of the camera into the wall and into my house. I don't think I can achieve this without buying a bracket or...

Quick question - if you see some Hikvision cameras for sale online, eg. Amazon UK seller, how can you tell if the model they're selling is the European version, or Chinese version, which are not recommended?

Hi Phil - I have made some decisions, though I do have another question before I can finalise my setup. I've decided to buy from you guys - 3x Hikvision DS-2CD2385FWD-I 8MP Turret Camera 1x Hikvision DS-7608NI-I2-8P 8 Channel NVR (Both of these you recommended earlier) I've now also...

Is there a way to add sound to these feeds with an external small microphone? Or do you need to get a camera that has one built in? The best NVR you mentioned (7608-I) only supports up to 6MP resolution. Is there a better alternative that will support up to 8MP if I'm going to be buying those...

Thanks so much for your suggestions, that's a really good starting point for me to look at! A few questions: - With regards to your 2.8mm focal length suggestions for the front - I understand what you're saying about making sure you capture people close to the camera with a wider FOV. My...

I'm going to be getting a three camera system for the front and back of my house. After doing some research, I've settled on Hikvision or Dahua, as they seem to be the most highly regarded, have a lot of variety, good NVRs and good support. I would use POE and cameras/NVR by the same...
