Apologies I just saw this post now! Is this Youtube video basically what Live-guard is? Where it will activate the voice and lights?

Hi, I was hoping you would be able to help me out with something. I've managed to pretty much set everything up but I'm just having a little issue. I have line crossing for my driveway and it seems to trigger off often even if somebody is just walking on the footpath outside of my driveway so...

It was already on the time zones (after midnight till morning) but I just needed to figure out how to disable it for certain occasions like if I was going to come home late during that time. I realised we can disable the notifications through the Hik-Connect app and that also disables the...

I have the 8MP Colorvu DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL and I set up the audible output to give a speech warning for line crossing events in my driveway after midnight. It's to deter thieves who break into cars at night as it happens often here. It's been fine for a few days but we had an issue last night...

I appreciate all your advice with this though, I've learnt a lot from this forum.

Thanks! I've checked your advice and it seems that most things were as they should be, however I have changed contrast from 35 to 45. I'm not sure how to find the smoothing, I've checked on the NVR and on browser. You're right about zooming on the TV, I guess my TV resolution for the NVR is set...

Thanks in that case, I think I may be able to find it if I play about in the settings. I think I'm experiencing ghosting as I've noticed that when people are walking past at night, it seems like there's a little ghost that follows behind their movement. Also, I've noticed that when I do try to...

Haha true! In that case, I will do it your way so that I am only notified on Hik-Connect for my own line detection events, and my neighbours can get their own system or wait until I'm home and can access the NVR for the normal motion detection events lol. I'm just in the process of setting up...

I activated 'notify surveillance centre' for all events as this would push the motion notifications to my phone and it would be easy to see when things had happened. It was just because Hik-Connect does not allow us to filter motion events only in playback so this was the best way. However...

I was making the changes on my NVR when I got that error but I noticed later that even though it gave that error, the settings still got changed as it showed the same configuration when I went back on it later. I tried doing the changes on my browser now and it successfully changes them however...

I see what you mean, that makes sense. I switched the WDR on which has helped to a certain extent. It required me to switch the exposure from 1/12 to 1/25 too which was fine. However, I tried to switch it further to 1/50 but it gives me an error code along the lines of 'setting failed error code...

Thank you the 'Notify surveillance center' part fixed it! I will try to find some more setup guides which will hopefully address those basic queries. For the night ColorVu part, is there anything you could recommend to stop the headlights from dazzling the camera so much? I've noticed the...

Thanks for coming back to me on this! Can I ask how to do that? Originally, I scanned the QR code which was on my TV screen which is connected to the NVR.

We had our Hikvision 8MP ColorVu cameras set up a few days ago and it's brilliant however I was hoping to get some advice for a few things. When I go on playback in the Hik-Connect app, the timeline is all coloured in blue so I don't know which part there was motion at. I know that for some...

Thank you for coming back to me, that's fine. I have made my decision and decided to go with Hikvision. Is the only difference between DS-7608NI-K2/8P and DS-7604NXI-K1/4P just that the latter can only support 4 cameras? Is there any difference between the features of the NVR's?

Hi Would people say that the equivalent of the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL is the Dahua TIOC HDW3849HP? If so, how would the two compare especially during the night? It seems like a little bit of a mix when I read about it online, so I just thought I'd try to get the most reliable system...

I will be purchasing the Hikvision camera set but I just wanted to compare the difference between the DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL and the DS-2CD2387G2-LU. It seems like the main difference is the audible siren/flashing lights so it's not recommended for residential installs, I'm guessing this is because...

Also, the Swann LED's are only activated upon motion (so it's black and white rest of the time) so sometimes it doesn't even pick up the motion and switch the LED's on for colour. Whereas I think ColourVu has its lights on throughout the night to give colour doesn't it?

Ah that's strange! I wonder if they may have put it under a different title like Swann's 4k with led light. Did the 885 model which you saw have an led spotlight? The 887 has led spotlights which only get activated upon motion and it helps to give a colour view, but to be honest I think most...

Thanks for your help! I will take your advice on board. My Swann camera model is Swann swnhd-887msfb
