Is that WDR turned on?

You might want to try putting WDR on - that’s what has worked best for me, it was my thread about the night vision issues

Where do you get that firmware then? I guess that is the full V4 as opposed to the lite version?

Out of interest - is the V4.21 the firmware which got pulled several months ago? I’m still playing with all my settings, new to the game. I need to setup motion detection and line crossings detection properly, motion is on full grid by default, so events trigger al day! Also need to set it up...

Useful feedback there. Other than the couple bugs, have you noticed an improvement? Would you recommend the update? Any quicker / smoother?

Cameras and NVR are on seperate firmware and camera firmware isn't linked to NVR firmware, check the portal for your cameras latest firmware. Did mine last week and updated via usb through the NVR. If you do though give it some time, mine didn’t have a loading bar like the NVR does, it just...

Let me know how you get on, how’s the GUI in the NVR? So is the web portal also different when you jump into V4 as opposed to V3 also?

As in reset all the settings to factory default? Maybe a big firmware update such as this would if it’s a totally new platform? How are you finding it otherwise? Smoother? Buggy?

What’s apps are people using on their smartphones? I see several in the App Store. Hik-Connect and iVMS 4500 Lite along with a several more (iPhone user here) What are people finding the pro and cons of each? Or are people using both?

I get the no resource message with x4 cameras - all 8MP. It only lets me view x2 at once, other x2 say no resource. I did read somewhere that V3 cant support more than a couple cameras more than 3MP, and this is only the in NVR GUI, apparently the PC program etc is ok, also read this issue was...

You should email Hikvision, sure they will be glad to know of the bugs - probably an easy fix.

Ahhh I see - I haven’t set that up as yet. Hoping to do it today. I might wait a few weeks before going to V4, expect we will see another release soon with bug fixes.

You say V4 has been pulled again? Thought it would have a few bugs, everything does I suppose - apple iOS are a good example! Just put my cameras into highest quality and put 265+ on. I have 57mb of idle bandwidth - so plenty spare. Will see how it goes over the next few days. Whats the...

I see - just out of interest why do you have vga and HDMI connected? I’m new to the game so curious! I’m going to put my cameras up to quality - highest (they are set on medium as default) and enable the 265+, was reading about it last night - basically you don’t lose any video quality and it...

Have you noticed any improvements over V3? How do you rate it? As mentioned in playback in V3 I can only view two cameras - 8MP Believe I read the previous V4 which got pulled fixed this issue.

Has anyone tried this as yet? Any bugs? Much benefit from V3? Speed improvements? I sometimes find V3 a bit laggy. Wonder if it fixes the no resources screen when trying to view playback from more than x2 cameras which are 8MP?

Thanks JB1970. That makes sense, managed to figure some of that out also last night I have put the NVR into the host mode so I could get into each camera via their IP to play around with the settings the NVR doesn’t show, so I wasn’t sure if as the cameras are now on their own IP they would...

Great stuff. I will carry on reading through the sticky posts tonight. So basically as I have x4 cameras on the 8 channel NVR I should be ok to run them at full image quality. I assume if you ran x8 with all features running it would slow the NVR network down in a nutshell without being...

Thanks Guys, That’s great - a lot of that goes over my head as of now! But I’m pretty tech savvy - just cameras are new to me. So a bit of reading up and playing around will with setting I’m sure it will fall into place. Can you explain how to use the BLR and also corridor mode I actually...

Hi Dan, Here’s an update, got the NVR and cameras updated to the lastest firmware, network connected and logged in via web browser. Wow how much better is the web browser interface! Had a play with the smart supplement light - no change on auto, but putting it to manual and dropping it to 5...
