Not sure how to? Did I need it enabled on the camera in advance or can I just scan the remote playback?

I have a camera facing out front. I have line crossing for event near my door and driveway. However my neighbour believes someone was in their garden on a night last week. Their garden is in view of my camera. They have asked if I could see anything on the camera. Q: Is there a quick way (or...

Have my NVR (7604NI-K1) installed and using currently only 3 cams (4th to be added at some stage). I don't have it running through a UPS, just a standard socket, UPS sprung to mind when we had a mains fault lately and the CCTV went down. Any spec of for a UPS for my system and how long would it...

Thanks. Laptop using browser using main stream settings (max resolution). Daytime seems fine but nighttime playback zoom is worse quality. Just wondered if it was a settings issue/bitrate.

Hi folks, some questions about night performance - have been running DS-2CD2343G0-I and also more recently a new DS-2CD2347G2-LU. I've had a few unwelcome visitors checking car doors in my driveway but when I zoom in the images are very pixelated on bot IR and Colorvu. I do have a large wall in...

Thanks Dan, all are running V5.6.3 build 190923 (2343 cams 4MP). Strange thing is the same camera shows an image and sometimes just a bell symbol in the HIKConnect App. Then by email some have a single image and others 3 images. Not the same alert showing a bell and 1 images so don't see a...

What are the standard number of images emailed with alerts. My line detection and intrusion have different numbers of image attached to email alert (1or 3). Some cameras seem to have different number of images attached to similar events. I did read a post here before about it but can’t find it...

I use both Intrusion detection and Line Crossing on my cameras. My question is about programming the times for such alarms. It seems it can be timed via the NVR through the web login or else through each individual camera login (web login)....which one needs to be active for the event, i.e...

Thanks Dan, I only really use line crossing or intrusion (and that is really only because i can!) so I doubt I need baggage or removal detection. I think I knew the Darkfigther would be a better option but wanted to see what others thought!

Hi, I've an option of 2 possible cameras for mounting in the front garden (it will on the soffit high up - not ideal height but the only location available). It will cover garden and cars. Dilemma is a 4MP Darkfighter (DS-2CD2345FWD-I 4 MP - "5" meaning Series G1?) v a 6MP Standard G0 model...

Cheers, I ended up gluing and sealing in a standard threaded reducer! Not ideal but neat enough and cheap!

Different issue than me... My Hik-Connect is back missing my cameras again even though iVMS4500 Lite is showing them...Hik-Connect seems a crap app .... Wonder if alert related as I had a good few alerts this morning...maybe they limit access?

maybe try the iVMS4500 LIte app?

Both of my cameras are showing as offline using the HikConnect app on iPhone, however I also installed iVMS-4500 Lite and they work perfectly on that app... Both are showing online when logged in on other interfaces... Strange as I didn't change any settings in the config - they use the same...

Solved! It seemed there was a plugin issue with my Internet explorer which when upgraded allowed the newly upgraded f/wcameras to work on Live View.........no idea why! Feel a bit silly now but I'll leave the thread up as it might help someone else!
