wifi camera for outdoor use

Hi all,

After purchasing a Victure wifi camera to mount on the outside of the garage, only to find out the motion detection gets triggered by rain(!), I thought I'd come here for some advice.

After looking around a bit more, Hikvision seem to be recommended alot, but they only seem to do one wifi camera (DS-2CD2041G1-IDW1), which I can't find anywhere to buy in the UK.

Are wifi cameras then a strict no-no and, if so, what's the best way to get everything hooked up?

There is no ethernet...

Setting up Live View & Playback Audio on Hikvision Cameras

There is a small selection of Hikvision cameras that support some sort of audio - audio I/O, built-in mic, 2-way audio - but on multiple occasions, customers have come back to us saying they are getting no audio on live view or playback. So to avoid this problem in the future we are creating this post to take you through the steps that must be completed to get audio from a Hikvision camera.

Step 1 - Update Firmware

Keeping firmware up to date is always important so it is always...

Weird PTZ issue with presets changing seemingly on their own

Hi

Weird one this one.

Presets 1 and 2 (the only ones I set) on a DS-2DE4A425IW-DE running the latest firmware keep changing literally by themselves. They move by a small amount (maybe 10-15 degrees) without input from me, the only one with access. Always the same direction - downwards and slightly to the right. I cannot find a specific time that the camera does this, but it's some time overnight.

Each day I can go into the camera, reset preset 1 and 2, and it'll be fine for a few...

Detection on Camera or on DVR?

I'm new to this and slightly confused.

It appears I can set line-crossing detection (for example) on the IP Cameras directly, as well as on the NVR (via the webui's). Even more confusingly, it appears they're not synced... if I change the Sensitivity setting on a specific Camera's webui, it does update the corresponding setting on the DVR.

So, what's best practise? Enabling line-crossing detection on the DVR, or Cameras independently, or both? If both are enabled, which...

Looking for some help please.

Recently did an upgrade on the firmware of my CCTV via the web app after checking online and it stating there was a later firmware.

Since that time, there have been issues with playback and live view functionality via the Hik connect app - the timings on playback will jump back and forth five seconds or so and the picture will distort and scramble. it is lagging and jumping.

I was told the problem might be down to my internet but I've had that checked, the...

Connecting Audio to Hikvision DS-2CD2563G0-IS 6MP Mini Dome

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has installed this camera before?

I bought it recently amongst a few other HIK bits for the house as I wanted something at the front porch that wasn't huge and had the ability to capture audio if required. I assumed that it would be covered on the data side of the POE cable but I'm thinking not after seeing all the plugs attached to it.

Can someone confirm that I will need to route some sort of audio cable with the Cat-5e before I get stuck into it? And if so...

Any ideas where to get the hikvision rain shield model: SRSM?

I can't seem to find any UK retailer selling this for some reason? Seems like something that should be stocked, after all it's just a rain shield for the wall mount..

Any ideas why/if any reason this isn't being sold in the UK?

Hoping someone can help me select the right doorbell / Intercom..

The features I need.

Connect to the nvr for continuous recording
Instruction detection (via nvr)
Accept sim card for two way audio
Dont want an indoor station

Can work with one without sim if the call button can be linked to an alarm out on the nvr.

I've been searching for days and still not sure what one will fit my build.

Thank you

[First post... thanks for the valuable knowledge throughout this forum!]

Hi All.
I'm setting up two new cameras and an NVR and am having trouble with one of them (the colorvu DS-2CD2347G1-LU)
The D2345 works just fine and the NVR (DS-7604NI-K1) looks to be good too.

On the colorvu though, every time I try to enable WDR or HLC I get an error message "setting failed". Its fine on the D2345.
I've been through the manual and searched but can't see any particular setting that I've missed so as...

DS-7716NI-I4 problem since upgrade to NVR.4.... i think or maybe the change of ISP

Hi

I'm having issues with my DS-7716NI-I4.

My Platform Access/Register Status is showing as Offline and I cant get it to change to Online no matter what I try.
I have spent five hours today going over the settings, I'm missing something silly I think.

to make things worse I'm not sure if it has been a problem since the NVR upgraded to NVR.4 or when I changed ISP to SKY from BT.

Any help appreciated

Hi,

Don't know if this is a simple fix, but I am able to connect remotely to my NVR using the Hik-Vision app. However, when I use a web browser to connect to the NVR, I can successfully log into my account, but when I click the IP address it will not load.

Does anyone know how I fix this? ? A firewall issue?

I'm looking to install a DS-KH8520-WTE1 10in indoor station inside an open-front kitchen cabinet, approx 12 inches from the wall so that the screen is flush with the front of the cabinet - either in a fixed position or on an adjustable mounting arm. A VESA-type TV mounting arm would do the trick but I don't think the Hikvision screens are VESA-compatible. Any suggestions?

In this tutorial I will show you how you can record and playback surveillance footage straight to an on-board SD card.

In order to follow this tutorial you should be prepared with a hikvision camera which has an on-board SD card slot. The camera i'll be using will be the DS-2CD2432F-IW. you should also have an SD card with sufficient storage space. I would recommend at the very least 32GB, however I...
