Updated yesterday (from 4.40.x) and all working fine so far. Bonus: it fixed a long-standing issue viewing 3rd party RTSP cameras which would not work in liveview or hikConnect. Now sorted.

I wondered if the lack of an 8MP (or higher) ColorVu was marketing or technical? I thought it was the latter, as I imagine with the increased aperture ColorVu needs to produce colour imagine in low light conditions, it becomes difficult to correct and achieve resolutions higher than 8mp...

I have had the same issue from the day I have had the system, and what David says is most likely the correct explanation, which I just live with. LiveView playback on HikConnect using HD stream will freeze/pause every so often. Switch to "basic" i.e. SD, and it is mostly fluent with odd pause...

I think there was a firmware update last year for the villa and doorbell devices, that means you no longer need indoor screen to use HikConnect. I'm not sure if that is also true for DS-KD8003-IME1. Does anyone know if DS-KD8003-IME1 has accessible built in web interface? Without having to use...

I finally have my electric gates in, and re-visiting intercom options to purchase. I posted two months ago and @macman did a brilliant job of answering my technical questions. I am back to ask for people's experiences with using electric gates/intercom and which of these two to go for...

Brilliant info macman! I will go for flush mounted and the DS-KH8350-WTE1. I am waiting to speak to the gate people how they will run the cables. One bit I had not thought of until now, is how the whole setup comes together. So when I come home, to open the gates, I do so using the gate's own...

@macman final bit I am considering is if I should go for surface mount or flush inside the brick like yours. Was it a pain for your installer cutting the brick away to fit the outdoor station? How was the cable run into the column, from under the pillar or right out the back? Also, if I go...

@macman cheers for the sample clips. The daytime looks more than adequate, I might be able to live with the bad nighttime image. I am very confused about the lack of recording ability. You would think with HikV being a CCTV manufacture, they'd factor recording into the device. However, good to...

Sorry for late reply, busy week! You say the indoor station needs power, but I assume that PoE is sufficient. I don't need a 240v power point at each screen right? You mentioned second screens connect to the master wirelessly. To be clear, they connect to your home wifi and then connect to the...

I'll be honest. I have not even looked at the various models available but the DS-KD8003-IME1 looks like the standard one I would go for. It is interesting you said the cat6 cable runs back to the indoor station? (1) By indoor station do you mean the viewer screen or is like a central hub that...

Current system is IP with an I-series NVR. Good point about running several cables. The only reason I thought Hik might have a wireless receiver is so that the system records who activated and which fob it was, as we are thinking of giving spare fobs to postman and the like. Although I guess...

We have a company doing the gates and mechanical work, and they will no doubt suggest some door entry systems they use, but I like the idea of keeping it all Hik, and being able to use a single app. Since it will be new cabling from start, I see no reason to use analogue so I think cat5 it will...

Not used Hik ANPR, but I imagine the special ANPR cameras do all the capturing and post-processing on-board before sending, in-essence the plate and an image, to Central for retrieval/matching. That does not mean you cannot use existing Hik ANPR cameras, or any other image source (assuming it...

Hi All, I'm after information. I know not CCTV directly but I'm hoping someone knowledgeable can direct my research. We have a HikVision CCTV system. We are thinking of installing electric gates and I would like to stay with the same manufacture instead of another tech stack, and app. Can...

I see now there are 2 newer firmwares available on the UK portal: V4.40.016 build200803 and V4.40.017 build201124. Interestingly if I hit the "Check Upgrade" button, it does not offer these two. Any reason why? Regardless, I think I will stay with v4.40.015 build 200616 for now and verify...

I am on I-series but noticed some fixes with latest firmware. Wondering if K series had the same issue, I describe here, which is now resolved for you guys? - Latest HikVision Firmware for -I NVRs - new V4.21 (76XX, 77XX, 96XX NI-I) I did have the same issue with camera in Hik app showing...

Update: I can now see this below firmware was released in 2020-7-13, so it isn't new! :rolleyes:. Wondering why then my HikConnect lag issue has resolved itself this week. My system is set to auto-update so the NVR is now up to v4.40.015 build 200616. Not read the release notes (if any) but...

On the topic. How do you guys set the notifications to sound? On Android, I don't get any audible alerts. I have checked and it isn't battery saver. Anything else worth checking?

I've been setting most of the params at the NVR level where no analytics of the smart events are displayed. I will try on the camera. Would be great to view objects triggering events in real-time. Should make it easier to tweak.

Is "target validity" only available on Acusense? On min/max sizes, something I was curious about. I have problem with foxes also. How does on best set these params to ensure the min size, is larger than a fox (horizontal length) but not so that it ignores humans (vertical length). Depending...
