    Hikvision Setup: Cable Fit Issues, Audio Calibration, Display Solutions and Camera Firmware

    I recently purchased some pre-made Ethernet cables to simplify my installation process. Unfortunately, the extended section (highlighted in red) prevents the waterproof cover from fitting correctly. I’ve installed one camera and temporarily wrapped insulated tape around the housing to seal it...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    I just thought I would update this. I have decided to run cables, so no wifi will be required. Is it worth having a dedicated run from nvr to a single router port? Or is it ok to go via a switch? Also I just want to clarify. Cameras to poe switch to nvr camera port? And not cameras to poe...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    Can I please ask what may seem a daft question. If I am able to run 1 cable from an attic POE switch to the NVR to connect the camera to the NVR will this work? My work system has the 4 camera wired into the individual POE ports. If I can the cameras would then have no issues or dropouts...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    Can you suggest anything that would work better, apart from wires of course? I wouldn't activate the wireless SSID capability, just as I don't with my PC access point. It would just be connected to the router the wirelessly and the network switch would be wired in. I could wire the NVR to my...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    My intention was to have a wireless access point in the attic and wire the POE network switch into that. I currently have a TP-Link Archer BE230 Router and use a TP-Link TL-WR1502X to connect my PC. I don't use it to extend my wireless network, as the BE230 does a decent job. As I have no...

    Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 networking help

    I have a Hikvision DS-7716NI-M4 set set up at work. It was fairly easy to set up with all 4 cameras wired directly into the NVR. I have purchased another to set up at home. I don't want to put the NVR in the attic and I also don't want to have lots of cables running from the attic to the NVR...

    CCTV install questions

    I have a hikvision cctv system to install at my home. I already installed the same system at work, but this was only indoor cameras in a false ceiling, so was easy to do. All the camera are wired directly to nvr ports and the nvr is direct into a router. At home I want to mount 3 to 4 cameras...

    Web interface and ivms4200 issues

    After experimenting it appears the playback function does not work with palemoon. I found a workaround. I'm sure I tried this previously, but perhaps not properly. The web interface works perfectly in MS Edge. I've read several times it doesn't, but I finally came across a post saying it did...

    Web interface and ivms4200 issues

    Many thanks for your replies. I already tried IE tab for chrome, but I think you have to pay a subscription for it, unless I've installed the wrong one. I installed palemoon and it works nearly perfectly. I don't get the "deceptive site" pop up like with chrome, which is great. The only issue...

    Web interface and ivms4200 issues

    I was using port forwarding to access the web interface on a DS-7716NI-M4 / 16P on a remote PC. I installed the LocalServiceComponents and despite the "Deceptive site ahead" warning from chrome it was working fine. I have a 15 year old label printer and installed this on my PC. This could be a...

    New cctv questions?

    Thanks. Do you have any thoughts about the drives? Another question is will I need cat6 cable, or will cat 5e be sufficient?

    New cctv questions?

    I just purchased some Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu Network Turret Camera With Live Guard 2.8mm. I have a 7716 m4 nvr on order and 2 6tb Skyhawk drives. I questioned if AI or purple pro would be better but the seller said standard Skyhawk are fine. I will probably go up to 8-10 8mp...

    Hikvision 7600 vs 7700

    Thanks. I have been trying to reply for a while but it wouldn't work. I should have given more info. In a business environment I want to run 5 or 6 4mp exir cams and a couple of bullet cams. I will probably get the 16 channel version so I can add more cameras if needed in future. I also want...
