I don't think there is any need to enable any of the above smart events as you can still do line crossing and draw the intrusion lines on playback with basic motion detection + dynamic analysis for motion enabled. I guess people use events in different ways and I mainly use smart events, namely...

By Dual VCA working I mean cameras configured with intrusion detection only (basic motion & dual vca disabled), where human/vehicle checkbox is ticked and these markers display as normal. Also cameras with intrusion detection, basic motion, and dual VCA enabled, where grid motion, line crossing...

I've reverted back to V5.7.21 on my G5 cameras. While the upgrade to V5.7.23 seemed fine initially, notifications no longer display the live view option, only playback (this bug goes back many versions). I guess I am done with tinkering with firmware and will stick with what works. Hikvision...

Something interesting to note as I've seen a lot of people complain about dual VCA not working on the later G5 firmwares. I have a DS-7608NI-M2/8P NVR which for the longest time has been on V4.63.025 build 231201. My G5 cameras have also been on V5.7.21 build 250830 since ~December 2025 and...

There is a newer V5.7.21 firmware from post #77 that I have been using with my G5 colorvu's with no issue which you can push to both cameras

My gen2 colorvu's have been on 5.7.14 for a couple years now, primarily because Hik broke dual vca/non human and vehicle detection on the latter versions. Surprised 5.7.19 is still broken and it's been out for a decent while now. @JB1970 have you ever reported the issues to 5.7.19 to them? Looks...

I have a feeling your unit is too old to be compatible with the TandemVu cameras. I'm surprised the unit has firmware dated 2018 because as far back as I remember, units around that time only had bog standard motion detection without the fancy AI features. The Hikvision EU portal lists firmware...

Tap the ... next to the device and go into settings, camera management, select the camera and change the channel name

Me neither I noticed today when trying 2-way and Hik-Connect continually throws up errors See below the default codec for liveguard cameras where 2-way works fine

A word of warning, this codec will stop you from using 2-way audio if you have liveguard cameras

OP lost the silicon lottery and has a G3 Hilook ColorVu camera which was based on older silicon and no longer gets updates. There is a thread about it here. This forum has a perplexing fixation on firmware updates which mostly lack fixes for active issues or vulnerabilities. People need to...

Not worked much with analogue hybrid Hikvision cameras but I'm pretty sure the 'hyrbid' light side of the camera will only work with their newer 'AI' DVRs which support motion detection 2.0 human/vehicle analysis. The DVR needs to detect a human/vehicle and sends a signal to the camera to flick...

This is a common problem with these DVRs. I would do the following in order; #1 Disconnect all BNC cameras and try powering on the recorder #2 Disconnect the SATA & power cables from the motherboard. If the recorder boots, your HDD is fried and needs replacing #2 Try another PSU. These older...

I would get rid of the new DVR if I were you - return it back if you're still within the return period or flog it online. It only supports up to 4MP lite as opposed to 8MP with your old DVR. There is no real way to get your POC cameras working with a non-POC DVR without going through effort...

Your problem is the iDS-7208HQHI-K1/4S(C) doesn't support POC like your old DVR did. You will need the iDS-7204HUHI-M1/P
