If you set up an independent user (non-admin) with a fairly decent password - you should be able to do it. I might consider putting in a POE switch, connecting the cameras to that, allowing the NVR to pick them up via their IP addresses, and then take the stream directly from the camera and not...

That looks to me as if you're getting some infra red blowback from the inside of your dome. Although it might look fairly clean in daylight - I might take the dome apart and make sure both the internal and external surfaces are absolutely spotless. It only takes a thin layer of grime to cause...

Additionally - if you were able to rotate the camera a few mm to lose a little more of the white wall - you may find the camera would switch to b/w automatically. It depends on how important it is to see that sliver of wall. It's the well illuminated white that's keeping you in colour. I'm not...

The Hikconnect app seems to get confused on every clock change day if you didn't have auto DST change set. My home NVR's have been fine - but the NVR I fitted last week to the local church didn't have it enabled - and having changed the times manually today - the Hikconnect app is all over the...

All the other settings I would only change if I was there myself, and could see the impact live on screen as I was adjusting them as needed. As I say - every scene is unique - every camera slightly different - and there's no one hat fits all policy when it comes to settings. The only one I can...

The majority of cameras have an RTSP line - but very few have an RTMP - and they tend to be pricier. I've just set up several cameras using the RTSP feeds - some for an owlcam project - and some for a church livestream project. If you're just using a stream for a website - you don't need...

Every camera/light/scene scenario is different - so there's no one 'best' setting suits all - but the shutter speed you still have set to 1/25 which will give you blurry images at night when people walk or run through your scene. I usually set mine to 1/100th of a second - and then adjust other...

If you're logging in to your camera via a browser - it's under 'image' then 'exposure settings'. Not all NVR's have the option of adjusting shutter speeds - I can't do it on one of my old machines, but on more recent machines it's in a similar place, under 'camera' then 'display', then drop down...

The camera will auto-expose for the change in light when the PIR is activated - but can take a split second to adjust - so it won't cause any problem to the camera itself, but will affect your recorded image very, very briefly. The only time it might make a difference is if the ambient light has...

Threshold is the amount of time something has to be in the scene before an alert is raised - so set at 0 - it's going to go off very quickly when it detects a lot of activity, so I might try moving your threshold over to 2 or 3 seconds. In reality if a human comes to loiter, they'll be on screen...

Reading an RTSP stream should work from any computer - all of my RTSP streams are fully visible on my Macbook - even ones I've embedded into my new website by using the Macbook to build it. Just to check - I can see you're sending your signal via 554 - so I imagine it's just a single camera...

There's no option to schedule the view as far as I can see on any Hikvision NVR I've used. So I'd say the answer is no - maybe someone more knowledgeable than me might have a solution.

On reflection - I think you're right. Are you able to introduce a POE switch to the system? They are relatively cheap - and then you could access the particular camera through the NVR - and would be guaranteed your third stream out in the public domain.

I’ve got these connected to a POE switch which then connects to a wireless bridge which then connects to the router - and the NVR picks them up from there. So not directly connected. I would imagine that if you ‘set’ the camera with its third stream while connected directly to the internet - as...

I've now got the Fisheye streaming - along with 3 other camera feeds in total. If you want to spot an owl - you'll either have to be up early - at around 4-6am GMT or around 6.30-7.30pm GMT which for most people would be the best time. He tends to land on the bell first - hence the slightly...

Great tip - I turned off H265+ and the third stream appeared. I do love the way that configuration randomly makes things work and unwork on Hikvision with mostly guesswork and perserverence!

Yes - you click on the preset you want to find out about - and some icons appear next to it - one of them is 'call preset' (From memory is the middle of the three icons) so you can see where it's been set to. The others are 'set' and 'delete' if I recall correctly. Just hover over them to get...

It depends on what model NVR you are going for - and what video settings you want. You'll have difficulty putting 8 x 8mp cameras on an NVR in most cases and running them at max resolution and max frame rate.

You need some ambient light for colorvu cameras - if the majority of your target area is pitch black and you’re not going to fit any lights - then go with a camera that has a good infra red range and stay black and white. You’ll also need to set the default shutter speed which is usually 1/25 of...

How low is your low light? Are you pitch black darkness? Do you have all night partial ambient light? Do the council turn the lights off at midnight?
