Thanks Dan, I have just responded to Sportster's suggestions. I have some cameras which can be connected to POE ports, and others that come in from a POE switch which is in another building. I am working on how to incorporate those - Subject of another thread.

Thanks Sportster, I tried Device Access on Chrome, and I don't see the MAC's. So maybe it is a v5 thing. I can slso see the serial numbers on a 1080 monitor, but they take up so much of the total width, that it's still a challenge - Even showing the short serial numbers would be a big...

Hi Dan, That's OK once I have setup the installation, but in the configuration process, I really want to know on which camera I am setting the IP. If I have more than one of each model of camera, then I have to look at the serial number to know which is which. But the serial number is too long...

I am finding it difficult to configure cameras using my Hikvision NVR's standard interface. The problem is identifying each camera by it's fixed ID: MAC or serial number. The Camera Configuration table interface does not show MAC's. It does show serial numbers, but only the long serial numbers...

I am having problems sourcing a speaker & microphone to attach to my NVR for sound monitoring and 2-way communication. My NVR (Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL) has 2 RCA ports on the back: Audio In and Audio Out, but I am unable to find any recommendation or source for a simple speaker and...

Thanks - Think I'll give it a shot - As long as I can get it on a trial basis. It may be more expense / hassle than it's worth but pricing and trial availability seems to be a mystery - At least until you sign on :).

I am already sharing the connection with family (on mobile devices), so it's surprisng I can't get access on a PC without having to subscribe to what sounds like a heavyweight management service. I'm having some success using iVMS - Very cludgy so far - Probably my ineptness.

I have a DS-7616NXI-K2/16P NVR with several Hikvision cameras attached. I have enabled Hik-connect access, and setup Hik-connect on my Android mobile which appears to have full functionality, with control of cameras etc. Now I am trying to get similar access from a PC, using a browser. I am able...

Thanks - 12-15FPS is not gonna kill me anyway :)

Thank you very much for the helpful suggestions. I am still trying to find the time to move forward on this installation, and reading up in the meantime. I mean to give this a try, although saturation may be an issue since I will be connecting 4 cameras, 2 of which are panoramic (180).

I have Nikvision NVR (DS-7616NXI-K2/16P) and various Hikvision cameras (dome, panoramic, bullet). I setup the NVR using the installation wizard (i.e. accepting the default addresses etc). My NVR is connected to a router with internet access, and, when connectd to the NVR ports, I am able to...

Great - Thanks!

Thanks - I was hoping that was the case. Surprised there is nothing in the Hikvision lieterature to describe the cables and how to use them. It's DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL

I Purchased some DS-2CD2387G2P panoramic cameras, and have several installation questions. I'll start with just one, for now. These cameras have a couple of extra cables coming out - Labelled "Audio" and "Alarm". Are these for enhanced audio and alarm, or are they the only way to have that...
