Ah ok I think it was this that confused me then. So it sounds like I still need to configure smart events via the cameras, but my I series will record it as an event?

Hi all, First i must thank you, this post led me to realise i was sent a K series NVR and not what i ordered. I now have an I series DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P and upgraded to the latest firmware (V4.51.025 build 210927). However, i still can't see target validity in the NVR menu - only the camera web...

Hi all, I got a DS-7608NI-I2/8P recently, or so i thought. I have set it up and linked to HikConnect, etc. but when was trying to set up a smart feature, i realised i had actually been sent a DS-7608NI-K2/8P! So i now need to return the NVR as new. What is the best way to do this and allow...

Hi They are a couple of seconds out from each other when viewed on the monitor. They are pretty much equidistant from the NVR.

Ok thanks. Is splicing easy?? Also what width is that 2 pin connector please

Hi Ok great and thanks for your reply. So it sounds like I have done the same as you but the cameras are still a couple of seconds out. Why is this? Unless you are saying I need to remove the default ntp config that came on each camera?

Hi I've followed the threads on this forum to set the NVR and the Cameras to use pool.ntp.org as the time source. The cameras fail the server test but i think this is expected as they are directly connected to the NVRs over PoE. The issue is that the cameras are about 1-2 seconds out of sync...

Hi all. I am trying to replace the fan on my Hikvision NVR psu and have the same question as the op I bought the a4x20 and the fan itself will fit fine, however didn’t come with a 3 pin to 2 pin converter. So I bought the NA-AC2 to do this (fine for the side fan). But this to too big!! Can...

Hi, Not the greatest pic i'm sorry about that. However, should show you how far away. I've already got the 4mm fitted and in use, so i am stuck with it. So i thought i would ask about what the best quality settings are for a longer distance?

Thanks for the advice. It’s strange as I asked on this forum before buying and was advised to go for a 4mm over a 2.8mm to achieve the distance? I’ll look at the table and see if there’s any adjustments I can make

Ok thanks. So basically there is no way to do this and just ignore your own events! Another question please! I have a 4mm lens version to monitor a garage in a block quite some distance away. It pinged today but was very pixelated when I zoomed in during playback. What is the optimum bitrate...

Hi all I have a newly installed DS-7608 NVR and 2x 2CD238G2 cameras. I would like Hik-Connect notifications so have set up line crossing on my driveway. I would really like to set up facial recognition so that me or a couple of other people don’t set off the line crossing alarm. I’ve read...

Many thanks guys

Hi, I was looking into getting my first NVR and have been recommended the DS-7608NI. I noticed that a new set of models called DS-7808NXI-I2/S. Does this model replace the one i was recommended or are they very different in terms of spec and (more importantly) price? Many thanks

Hmm. How much generally are those stations? Can this doorbell use a standard bell chime?

Thanks. Can it be combined with a traditional door bell chime? also, it’s a bit industrial looking! Is this the only doorbell model current and supported from Hikvision? If so, can you use other makes of doorbell with a Hikvision NVR? cheers

Ah yes, sorry - this one https://www.use-ip.co.uk/hikvision-ds-kb8113-ime1-doorbell.html

Hi! I'm very much a beginner here but I'm getting some Hikvision cameras and NVR, so would like to put in a doorbell which I don't need to pay a subscription for. I'm looking at this, but could I please ask a few questions first: I understand I have to first put it via a PoE switch to be able...

sorry - I'm assuming that you are referring to the angle when on a bracket, not mounted directly on the side wall? Or does it not matter?

Great - thanks a lot for all your help Dan The NVR can take 2x 10TB disks can't they?
