Tell me about it. I just bought the G1 colorvu. I couldn't wait for the G2 to arrive in the UK and also there is a price bump as expected. I'm for sure going to follow @JB1970's mantra: I wouldn't mind trying Acusense, as the smart events false alert to much under the G1. With tweaking, I...

Second the above. 4mp for residential is very reasonable especially if have good enclosed space. I went for colorvu all round as there is minimal ambient lighting.

Yes, I have been using that to check the rtsp stream, but ofcourse this requires a point-in-time fault to be occurring and for me to be monitoring. I was hoping for something that could log 1) camera being up i.e. simple ping 2) rtsp stream being available/recording so I can see drops I think...

I did a test and moved the camera, already on the same floor, right next to the router and still suffered the same problem overnight. However, I was able to review the NVR logs and could see disconnects to the camera itself. So my current hunch is that the cameras themselves are actually...

Although this is always a possibility, I have one camera positioned about 3 meters from the home router, and the the other is on the second floor (so I could believe this one might have connection drops), but I feel not both. However, I will test moving the cameras right next to the router and...

Hi All, I have a difficult problem I am hoping the the experts here can help with. I have a DS-7608NI-I2 NVR with 2 x 3rd party (yi) wireless indoor cameras along with existing hik cameras (which all work fine). However, with these two cameras, the nvr looses the stream intermittently so...

"Main" and "Sub" for storage and playback respectively. Got it. As I used plug n play, I think a single option appears when changing this setting in the NVR config. Not at home at the moment to confirm exact word in on the NVR page but if need be I will log into the cameras and do it...

Lens wipes are a good shout. I have not yet played with sensitivity for intrusion detection, but perhaps I will try this next. The min. size boxes are larger than the animals being picked up.

Thanks for the detailed response. I'm learning so much! I am slightly confused when you and the HikVision video you linked refers to these configurable parameters. Are these referring to live view encoding parameters, or those used for storage/playback? i.e. If I set the channel to 15fps +...

Thanks. I might just get a long pole for this purpose. How do you clean your cameras? They must accumulate grime over the period.

Hi, My kit finally arrived and I have the system installed and been playing around with it for past few days. Mostly impressed, and I'm glad I went for the ColorVu cameras. The nighttime image is great, compared to IR black & white for residential property. Anyways I've figured most things...

I've decided to sell my first-born and upgraded to the I series. He'll understand when he's older I'm sure ;)

Thanks Dan. Clears it all up. I will stick with the G1. Cannot wait till December. Also, I am finding UK stock is patchy at best with Hikvision. e.g. 4 or 6mm version of the G1 in black/grey. Feels like Hikvision need to get shipments in!

Thanks. Glad to hear it is working out for you. Which cameras do you have? Are you on the latest firmware or have you stayed on one of the older releases? Is smart search functionality available via IVMS if no longer available with browser? I will look to see how much more the I series...

Hi, what is the difference between the G1 and G2 versions? Is it just lower illumination value?

Great IP camera info here. Kudos guys. This post is slightly concerning and kind of confused now. I am due to have the DS-7608NI-K2 installed next week. Not realised it was so many years old, although that does not bother me as long as it does the job. But the change in firmware/limitation...
