Thankyou for your reply. The NVR hasn’t been connected back to the cameras as yet as I don’t want it to overwrite anything. How do I browse the file list? Thankyou.

They are done with it and couldn’t be bothered with helping. I needed it to help prove certain things took place and when. I got handed back my NVR and it should not have had anything deleted. Really frustrated!

Thankyou. To give a bit more detail….the police took it to look at some cameras. I’m guessing they looked at some footage but then once I got the NVR back two of the most important cameras had zero footage for any days. I know there was footage as I got notifications on those days. It’s as...

Thankyou for your reply. The CCTV recorder was turned off and I know the footage was there. It was handed in as evidence but when I got it back the two cameras I needed the most have had their entire footage deleted. So there isn’t any day to see for those cameras but for other cameras...

Hi. I’m in need to get hold of some vital evidence but can’t get to it. Firstly my notifications that came to my phone with the notification images have gone as they only stayed there a week. Is there anyway to see those or do they just disappear? Secondly two of my cameras I really need...

I would also put the NVR on it's own VLAN so it is not on your normal "home" or private networks.

To make things extra secure, If you have a guest network on your router or can create an isolated VLAN, stick the NVR on that network so there is no risk of it getting to your personal network.

Thankyou Dan. That is great to know.

Hi Dan, Thankyou for your reply. The plan would be to connect all cameras in building 1 (approx 16 cameras) to the POE switch and then Cat6 cable straight to the NVR located in building 2 which is about 50-60 metres away. No Camera data would be going through other parts of the network. NVR...

Hi everyone, Would there be any issues with connecting 16 cameras to a POE switch and then one Cat6 cable going back to the NVR which is about 50 metres away? I'm wondering about bandwidth issues or anything else to consider? Thankyou.

Thankyou. Unfortunately all my channels are in use on the 4 port NVR but may be looking at updating the NVR in the future.

I currently have a Hikvision camera system using the DS-7604NI-K1-4P(B) NVR. Is there anyway I can add a DS-KV6113-WPE1 Door Station to the NVR or am I better just to set this up into HikConnect instead? Thankyou.

I would download the Hikvision SADP tool. Then, change your laptops ethernet port IP to an address in the same subnet. Plug laptop into the back of the NVR. See if you can see the cameras in the SADP tool and you should then be able to set them to DHCP.

iPad or Android device with Hik-Connect App.

I'm a fan of the Ubiquiti kit, Dream Machine or Dream Router. It lets me create completly seperate isolated networks for IOT, guests, etc
