I recently upgraded to Catalina 10.15.1 and installed the latest iVMS 4200 software v2.0.0.10 from Hikvision and it is running with no issues at present: Free Client Software for Hikvision Devices and thought I would share this. Regards, Steve.

Great info that I wished I had seen prior to upgrading my cameras firmware. Instead I had to discover this by spending a great deal of time fault finding and exploring all configuration options. This was also very difficult because my DVR would not accept the known user previously logged in for...

My picture quality is excellent and perhaps the camera is using the same chip technology as the 6MP with it being Easy IP 3.0? Steve. Hi Phil, I have selected the highest setting and the picture quality is excellent, the camera is performing well and I have no complaints so far. Steve.

I recently upgrade the firmware in a DS-2CD2355FWD-I 5MP Turret camera with v5.5.3 build 171018 and I have noticed that in the Video/Audio Configuration menu I can now set a higher resolution. The top three being: 2944x1656 = 4.88MP 3072x1728 = 5.31MP 3072x2048 = 6.0 MP Just wanted to share...

All, I have recently experienced the following issue twice with two different Hikvision cameras, one dome and one turret. I added the camera to my Hybrid DVR using the ONVIF protocol and everything worked great however, once I upgraded to the latest firmware I lost my connection? Turns out the...

Hi, Is it possible to add an IP Camera on my current network to an NVR on the same network without it being directly plugged into the NVR? I will be looking at adding an 8CH NVR to my network but it will only ever be able to have six cameras directly attached to it. The other cameras are on...

Thank Phil, camera is already on latest firmware which is where I got the text 'proportion of object' whilst the actual menu says 'Percentage'. I am conducting trials and will eventually reach a satisfying result. Steve.

I currently have the DS-2CD2142FWD-I Dome camera and the online help wording is not the same as the cameras menu wording. For example the online help says 'Slide the cursor to adjust the sensitivity and proportion of object on the area for the selected area' however, the online camera...

Thanks Phil, I've had a look and tried the software but not entirely sure how it all works. Will most likely try 2.8mm.

The difficulty I have is that I have never worked out what lense size i need in all the 15yrs I've been installing and setting up my own personal security cameras, this is because in the early days I just bought 6mm or 4mm and tried to make them fit. Then I started to purchase varifocal lenses...
