    DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 - Can't specify wall mount??? WTF???

    Hi All. I just bought a couple of Hik DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3's and the GUI has no place to specify that it's mounted on a wall, so the PTZ doesn't work right. It thinks it's on a ceiling and rotates instead of LRUD. On my other Hik's, I can specify that. Anyone have any idea why this is...

    LTS LTD8316T-ET(U) Password Reset Help

    Hopefully someone has a solution... I rescued an LTS LTD8316T-ET(U) NVR that was part of an office cleanout as the scrap guy was heading for the door. It has no drive, but I have one for it. It boots up and goes right to empty video (no cams attached). So, apparently it works but it does not...

    Need Recommendations For NVR...

    The playback on the NVR console is fast and easy. With a browser and this NVR, I have to use IE with a patch and it does not let me playback as easily. In fact, it's downright difficult. Hikvision leaves out one of the most important features of an NVR (snapshot), so I am looking for other...

    Hik DS-7616NI-E2/16P Max Storage Capacity

    I have one but not with that amount of storage. Do you have the latest firmware? I'm at 3.4.106 Build 191009. That might affect storage size because it did fix a lot of other bugs and add SMART monitoring, but it's Hikvision, so no guarantees and asking them might be an exercise in futility.

    Need Recommendations For NVR...

    Hello All. I need a recommendation for a Hikvision and ONVIF compatible NVR with a snapshot feature. What I require is the ability to review video at the console (scan/jog) to a particular day/time/frame, pause and manually save a snapshot out to a usb thumbdrive or network NAS. Right now I...

    DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 - ZOOM ISSUE EXPANDED TO NTSC/PAL AND FIRMWARE - RESOLVED!

    In typical Hikvision form, I spent a lot of time trying to fix something that was actually in the GUI. I had the camera set for "Outside". Why? Because it was outside. After all I did, I started going through the GUI pages over and over and by chance, I selected "Inside" for my outside camera...

    DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 - ZOOM ISSUE EXPANDED TO NTSC/PAL AND FIRMWARE - RESOLVED!

    New information. I found the configuration tool that uses the advanced sdk to get at all the settings on these. I was able to fix the NTSC/PAL issue and some other things. I was however, NOT able to change the zoom limits. They are listed and viewable, but not changeable using this tool...

    DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 - ZOOM ISSUE EXPANDED TO NTSC/PAL AND FIRMWARE - RESOLVED!

    So, for anyone still watching this, I found something out. The digital zoom on the camera in question is actually enabled by selecting the "start digital zoom" in the live view, but it is NOT triggered by the PTZ zoom reaching Z004 and then switching to digital zoom. It requires selecting the...

    DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 - ZOOM ISSUE EXPANDED TO NTSC/PAL AND FIRMWARE - RESOLVED!

    It was new, but my old stock. A backup replacement. All I can think of is to swap it with another cam where the zoom distance isn't as critical, unless someone has an idea how to hack into it and fix it.

    DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 - ZOOM ISSUE EXPANDED TO NTSC/PAL AND FIRMWARE - RESOLVED!

    So in the diagnostic listing, I found that the cam shows PAL as the video type instead of NTSC. Additionally, does anyone know of a way to go back to a lower-level firmware? It refuses to reflash with an earlier version. Any ideas appreciated.

    DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 - ZOOM ISSUE EXPANDED TO NTSC/PAL AND FIRMWARE - RESOLVED!

    I should have mentioned that I enabled digital zoom, but it would not go beyond Z004. See attached pic. Digital zoom is enabled, but no joy.

    DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3 - ZOOM ISSUE EXPANDED TO NTSC/PAL AND FIRMWARE - RESOLVED!

    Hi All. I have several unbranded DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3's (wireless equipped but disabled). I've had no problem upgrading the firmware from the EU site. V5.6.18 build 210428 seems to be the latest version and it works fine on all my cams EXCEPT one! The 4x optical zoom normally goes from "Z001"...

    Hikvision NVR DS-7616NI-E2 / 16P all cameras are Disconnected

    You have to configure each of the cameras and make sure you can view them from a monitor attached directly to the NVR. Then you can access the NVR remotely using Hikvision's software, or preferably by using IE Tab inside Chrome. https://www.ietab.net/ There is also newer firmware V3.4.106...
