UPDATE I think I've sorted it. If you have multiple windows (playback) then its greyed out. If you have just single view selected then it is not greyed out! so just change from default 16 ch down to 1.

Not sure if this helps, but if I select Search on the NVR (via Web) Dowload by event then it does show a list of events. This tells me that it is recognising that an event has happened??

Thank you very much, it is appreciated. I have checked everything and its all correct, but cant find Save VCA Data. Using a web interface I have Storage HDD Management Net HDD HDD Detection Cloud Other settings in Storage are Schedule Advanced - Holiday - others External Backup Am I...

Thank you, where is this setting in the menus? Save Camera VCA Data is enabled on NVR

Hi – I've recently upgraded to a new NVR using existing cameras DS-7732NI-I4 / 16P V4.61.030 build 240123 And all is working well. I use a web interface for admin purposes and when viewing playback the “smart search” is greyed out. On my older NVR you could use this function to highlight...

Many thanks for the reply. I;m a windows user (although I have a mac that I struggle to get on with) I use FING as a network tool - but cant seem to locate what is causing the issue. My Router is set to allocate DHCP outside a set range as you suggest... Picture inserted / attached below

the Router logs have mutlitple entries for the time I get the Email from NVR. I've removed the actual MAC addresses from the entries below... 08:49:10 24 Dec. 2.4G client Mac: [mac address] Deauthentications (Reason:Class 3 frame received from nonassociated station) 08:49:08 24 Dec. 2.4G...

Apologies that was an autocorrect - the DHCP range is set to be outside the range I;ve allocated as static IP's So my range is 192.168.1.1 to 150 for static - then 192.168.1.150 onwards is the DHCP range on the router

Hi. Thanks for prompt response. It’s a standard bt hub (2 I think) I will check but I’m sure I’ve set the echo range to exclude the range I’ve allocated manually to cameras. Is there a way to identify the conflicted ip address.

Hi. Relative newbue here. I have a16ch Hik nvr with about 10 cameras connected via network (as in not connected directly to the nvr ports ) The Hik cameras have static ip assigned And most of the time all works fine. Randomly I then get an ip conflict error. I can’t work out what is...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Your solution has some merit, but I should have explained myself a bit more detail. I want to work out the correct focal range, so that I can then purchase the correct focal lens (4mm 6mm 12mm) camera. if anyone knows how to tell the lens on the varifocal...

Hi, I have a varifocal camera and wondered if there is a way to use the camera to help understand what focal length camera would work. So I was thinking rig the VF camera up, adjust focal length, and then see the focal length (by taking a snapshot or some other way?) There doesnt seem to be a...

Thanks, has anyone got this to work and figured out what the file name needs to be?

Hi I wanted to swap out a camera for like for like and saved the configuration of the camera. Installed the new one and tried to load the old config, but just get a failed message. Its not the password as I deliberately entered a wrong password and get a different error. I've save to the...

Thanks for this, a very useful guide. Is there a way to use an iPhone to help understand the image you might get depending on the focal length of the camera? On my iPhone 12 Pro, I can take a variety of zoomed in photos and then get the Focal Length from the photo. I understand that a 35mm...
