Try a different browser. Alternatively add the camera to iVMS-4200 and then access the config from there (that usually gets around all of the browser quirks)

In all honesty I didn't try a different power adaptor with mine but I did check for volt drop and the unit worked reliably for a few months on WiFi, aside from the odd lockup requiring a simple power toggle to resolve. It has been on PoE now for a few months. I wouldn't consider installing one...

Where do Hikvision recommend this? From memory Hikvision supply the DS-KV6113-WPE1(c) with a 12V DC 1 Amp plug in PSU. The kit with that included both an outdoor station and indoor station is supplied with two of those same 12V DC 1Amp plug in PSUs. The snippet below is from the data sheet...

....or a decent PoE switch and one large capacity SD card per camera until an NVR comes along that ticks all of the boxes. I can't believe that AcuSearch is available on a V4 NXI-K but won't be on a V5 NI-M.

Ugh - The so called ultra (M series) is not very ultra then. I'm surprised they're quoting 'hardware limitations' for AcuSearch; the cheapest and least powerful model in Hikvisions entire line up (the DS-7604NXI-K1/4P) has the AcuSearch feature as of now on V4 firmware. The whole spiel around...

Correct It has some additional features. You don’t need it for the initial setup; you can get the system fully operational without ever touching a computer. Some tweaking requires access to the camera directly rather than the NVR and that is done using the browser though it’s nothing that...

Open iVMS-4200 and import the device using its local IP, username and password (if it's not already there). Then in in Device Management click the Remote Configuration icon (gearwheel) and select Basic Settings. That will open the web config within iVMS and you should be able to do it from...

The DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL is a good choice for the camera. Go for the 4mm lens unless you need 105mm field of view (you rarely do) The DS-7604-NXI-K1/4P is not a great choice for 8MP cameras. While it can handle 8MP cameras, the incoming bandwidth will limit the number of cameras (the number...

We don't know exactly how the 'Human' filtering algorithm works exactly. I suspect it just sees an upright group of pixels moving in a uniform direction and makes the decision based on that. It could be that the higher contrast between the black cat and background makes the trigger more...

As Sir Tom sang - it's not unusual... You will get different results from Motion Detection, Line Crossing and Intrusion Detection. For best results ensure you're using 'VCA by Camera' in the setup as it's thought to be better than using the NVRs own VCA engine. With Motion Detection you only...

Thanks @Phil. I'd missed that post...Off topic but I'd also be interested to find out whether the standard M series NVRs will get AcuSearch compatibility in a firmware update and if not, will we get the 76xxNXI/M2/VPro models in the UK....

Is it just the router that was changed or have you changed ISP? The most likely reason for the Hikvision kit being offline is that it’s using static IP addressing and the new router is using a different subnet. For instance if your Hikvision kit is addressed 192.168.0.x and your new router is...

There was discussion of new Darkfighters around the time of release of the Hybrid Light ColorVu’s over a year ago; I think I posted some specs. At that time it was reported that we wouldn’t see those models in the UK. Do you have a link or path to the launch you watched? Edit: I found the...

I've not had any issues with mine when updating but occasionally they can be finicky. I had an NXI-K the other day that updated once via the web browser but when I subsequently attempted to update it further I just got a 'failed' message. In the end I had to use iVMS-4200 as it wouldn't update...

You would need to physically move the SATA cable into the other port on the NVR board. However it doesn't matter so why bother.

It's always a case of 'you get what you pay for'. Your existing DVR will take cameras up to a maximum of 2 megapixel (1080P resolution). If you're looking at second hand, you'll be looking at a model starting 'DS7208-????'. For those models: HQHI - up to 2 megapixel cameras (equivalent to...

That's an old model you have and I'd recommend upgrading to a newer one. If you use surveillance standard drives (never use a refurb - you're asking for problems) you should have no issues with drives failing prematurely. Use Seagate Skyhawk drives, WD Purple or Toshiba S300. I've had a few...

Which NVR and firmware version? Which browser?: If it’s Safari, forget it; support for Mac users is woeful. For Windows browsers you may need the latest localservice or plugin installed. If it’s a mobile device it’ll likely not work

More likely a setting. It could be that there's enough light for the exposure time set - that would prevent it even if it's set to Auto. Try setting a shorter exposure time 1/50s or 1/100s. Also ensure the light is on in the camera itself (rather than through the app) You could prove the...

I have a few of the smaller PoE NVRs running without a fan. Although the newer DS-7604NXI-K1/4P models have a fan, the previous single disk non AcuSense models (DS-7604NI-K1/4P & DS-7608NI-K1/4P) did not have a case fan fitted to the RHS vent. However these smaller models also do not have an...
