There is an NVR option to add network storage under the Disk menu object, Storage Device, Add- either NAS or IP SAN. But the Storage Mode is where you setup groups and decide where to store the footage. It doesn't appear to have a backup mode but would store based on Quota or Group - you could...

Well, I have the light & sound camera and it only lags by about 1 second, I'd assume the alarm output would be nearly as fast so I wouldn't discount it!! IT's certainly much more intelligent as the PIRs I currently have are going off all night when the wind blows the long grass! I haven't had a...

It's the electrical integration which I asked about in a previous thread: https://www.use-ip.co.uk/forum/threads/integration-with-security-lighting.5890/ I've only done alarm integration to date. With the amount of PIR false alerts I'm hoping to do the security light integration in the next...

I was using a light switch too but got "upgraded" to a relay in my alarm system last month finally!! I use the smart events so they work fine with this too.

I think there was a Camera firmware update meant to address this as the strobe and audio warning was a newer feature. Check the Camera release notes for V5.5.150 or above for mention of this. I've a turret with this feature and it's integrated into my alarm system with one key disarm. The...

Thanks - I swapped out the floodlights that has PIR built in to dumb ones without - they are LED so won't draw that much. Just need to set the time on the camera as I won't have dusk/dawn control any more but that's fine. Appreciate the detail regarding the type of relay. Non latching or one...

you only have 1 physical output on the NVR - this is the key one, any camera can trigger this output though. When I go to my NVR 4.0 interface, system, event, select a camera, they all have Alarm Output options "Local->1" and that's the single NVR alarm output you could you for your purposes...

I want to purchase a turret camera for my shed (outdoor) that has an alarm output that integrates with two security floodlights on the shed. I'm wondering about the type of relay I'd need to enable this? I find the Hikvision NVR only puts out 4v, so assume the camera output might be about the...

I've integrated my 7608-NI NVR with a GSD alarm system for the one key disarm function. I've a single Bullet Camera out front with strobe/speaker set to rotweiler barking on a double loop and a turret camera inside my shed with a siren sound together with it's strobe. I have a master blaster I...

ok so found the issue: Mono, 8Hz, 32-bit float is ok but you HAVE to save the file so it's 128kbps in the file properties details - in my case a 16-bit signed PCM WAV format in Audacity on my PC worked great. Phew!!! Was driving me crazy, hope this helps someone else out there...!

I'm trying to upload custom sounds to my new Bullet hikvision camera with a built in speaker. I got two sounds to work fine but am trying to add more and the new ones play back wierd. I thought I followed the same process to prepare them - WAV format, mono, 8Hz but they play back distorted and I...

Hi, what NVR are you using? I've a DS-7608NI-K2 / 8P but it doesn't have the magic one-key disarm feature. Looking to see if it's only I series which have....Thanks!

That's the one, nice find!! Many Thanks!

Thanks - just looking to activate motion detection when the house alarm is armed. Coupled with Acusense it should keep a good eye on areas where there should be NO activity. But wanted to check how to wire it into the NVR. The lighting system solution you have sounds interesting too!

I've installed the latest browser plugin for windows and after logging in I get a message about starting localservicecontrol.exe triggered by UAC. I'm not keen on leaving this running but I'm guessing it will break Chrome integration if I disable? Any way to keep Chrome working and remove this...
