Codlord Thank you - that worked a treat - thank you so very much. Now a bit more tinkering!

Hi Is it possible to access a camera via a web browser when it is connected directly to the NVR ? According to the NVR the IP for the camera is 192.168.254.* My network is 192.168.1.* So I think I need to be connected to the 254 network, but that would defeat what i am trying to achieve...

Thanks, if anyone knows how to do this from a recorded file I'd be grateful. I currently don't have a monitor connected to the NVR as its "securely out the way" Using VLC player you can get some frame data, but not sure if this is for the current playback position or not. I will keep trying...

Thanks - completely agree with your recommendation for a domestic setup (which this is) about extending the HDD to cover holidays - wise words. I am keen though to see if this set up works. It seems that Hik wanted it to be used like this - otherwise there wouldn't be a separate Frame Rate for...

Hi, Thanks for this guide - very useful. I am seeking to maximise the amount of recorded days on my available disk space so I have made the following settings (from the NVR) - The aim being to have the best quality recordings on Motion / Line Crossing and then lower quality for general – or...

Many thanks for the information. Appreciated.

Thank you. So is the NVR or the camera the "older" bit of kit? As a general question, if you specify a setting - say the area for motion control differently - does the NVR take preference?

Thanks - that makes a lot of sense and agrees with my gut feel. I was trying to set the Hik Remote Backup Software to run the previous days recordings and then overwrite them. The main reason being that it would extend the days recorded for the odd occasion that I can be on holiday. (Note I...

Thank you very much - appreciated.

Hi and thank you for allowing me to joint the forum. I’m upgrading / tinkering my CCTV and have a number of questions. Network Traffic. If I am using a 16 Ch Hik NVR with say 12 two or four Meg cameras NOT connected to the DVR but through two GB switches (daisy chained) will I ever start...
