So the current issue I have are;
you are able to add additional camera to be viewed from the 6230, when I add an ANPR camera 2cd4a26fwd it works perfectly on port 554, although it’s not the camera I want to view, when I am any of my several 2Cd2385 I get an error of network exception. I though it might be because they are set to 256+ however that is not it, they are on port 554 like the other anpr camera’s but I cannot get them to work.
my second problem is where to put my memory card, in the outdoor unit/indoor unit or both?
Currently I can see missed calls however only a photo as my attachment and I’m not able to review these in anyway, note the grey out playback tab at the bottom. Should it show me a video and or let me search video on the unit. I cannot find any settings for this
Hi Fin
I just saw your post since you don't mention as DS-KV6113-WPE.
I have two of them.
One connected on Indoor Station DS-KH8301-WTS and one as spare after a failure occurred by enabling Semi-Digital mode in Advanced Settings during experimenting to fix Infra Red problem because of a faulty initial firmware. Anyway I managed to fix with a serial connection, putty and tftd32. Opening device does not allow me anymore to send back to seller.
The device works flawlessly in combination with the Indoor Station but there is a huge problem with Hik-Connect app and iVMS4500 app. When you buy a Doorbell you buy a Doorbell. You do not by a camera. Both apps do not support bell ringing and intercom(ring, answer, unlock etc) on smartphone or tablet, if device is connected only on local network. I do not accept this and I did not know before buying, because Hikvision hides this restriction.
The other problem is that the device is not recognized by Hikvision servers and the result is that this cannot be connected on them. The user manual lies on page 23 about
Platform access that provides you an option to manage the devices via platform. There is no option in Basic Configuration.
The only way, as you mention above, is to connect the Indoor Station DS-KH8301-WTS on Hik-Connect server and after that you can receive a call on your smartphone or tablet. But you cannot always be connected on Hikconnect servers. You connect on those servers only when you are away from home since privacy is an issue and also there is a huge bandwidth consumption especially if your broadband dsl is 1mbps upload.
There are no settings for video recording on Indoor Station. You can record only on iVMS4200, iVMS4500 and Hik-Connect apps. But also there does not exist and option to record on motion detection or ring "detection".
I cannot help you about your 4K cameras.
The wifi also has an issue. If your router password contains a character like @ % & etc you cannot connect through basic configuration but only through
advanced configuration which, according to Hikvision, is not allowed to be used since this causes issues.
I should never buy and spent so many if I knew that Hik-Connect cannot be used in local network. There are cheaper options to buy. Complete Intercom systems with 100 pounds, not hikvision 400 pounds, that support local network without servers hikvision or ezvizlife or whatever
