@JB1970 From memory: toggling “Hardware decoding” in the app made no difference, but that was with H265+. I’ve checked and my Ipad Pro has native H265 decoding support. I need to run a few experiments: I reverted straight back to H264 from H265+, but I haven’t tried H265 yet. That’s my next test.

@JB1970 Thanks. Yes I’m on Virgin Media, Yes NVR added using ProControl+ / Hik-Connect method and Yes video quality options are HD & Basic. My understanding is only the command signals go via the service. I can literally unplug my Virgin Cable from the router and still see my camera feeds on my...

@Newtothis Thanks. I will look into that this evening.

Thanks @Newtothis . With H265+, the max bitrate setting is greyed out, so I have no control over it directly. I assume reducing the video quality would also reduce the max bit rate, but by how much? and it kind of defeats the object of the main stream, which for me is to record the best quality...

I’ve updated the firmware to the latest on the NVR and the cameras. No difference to the LiveView issue. I’ve rightly or wrongly come to the conclusion that it’s down to a lack of processor grunt on the decoding side rather than any network issue. Switched to H264 and everything works smoothly...

New setup : DS-7608NI-I2/8P only running 3 cameras, whilst I get to grips with everything: 2 off 2347’s and 1 off 2365. All purchased from Use-IP (Great service by the way!) I have been having issues with viewing just one main stream in live view whilst on the same network but not direct from...

I really don’t know why Hikvision insist on using such a large cable gland. What I do, as an alternative to running conduit, is to use SWA Ethernet cable. I fold the steel armoured wires back over the outer PVC sheath and then use a couple of layers of adhesive lined heatshrink over the top...

Hi @Emma Hedges I believe I am signed up to your newsletter. Is it possible for me to secure 2 x DS-2CD2347G1-LU of the 6mm variety by pre-ordering?

Thanks, looking like I may have to add extra cameras, which I was hoping not to have to do, both from a cost perspective and also from working out how to run the cables to them. More thinking required on my part.

Hi, These seem to be only available in 2.8mm and 4mm, yet Hikvision say they are available in 6mm. Can you obtain the 6mm versions? Are you expecting stock? Ideally I want to cover an area around 10m distant and for the footage to be good enough to enable proper identification at night. The...

Thanks Dan, hadn‘t thought about a MicroSD card so that is useful advice. Any opinion on whether a PSU or POE injector is better for test purposes? I’m thinking a POE injector would be better as I can then just run an Ethernet cable over a greater distance.

I’ve been planning my CCTV for almost a year, but there is always another decision to make!! My existing thoughts for a system are the following: A DS-7608NI-I2/8P NVR Fitted with a 4TB Western Digital Purple Drive with 5 or 6 cameras attached: Leaning towards all cameras being ColorVu 4MP...
