    Tablet for Hik App - Amazon Fire or Alternative

    I'm just using an RTSP viewer within my dashboard app to display a single camera (front door/drive). For family I've set theirs up to run Hik-Connect both on Amazon Fire HD and on iPad without issue. However I'm adding the NVR using the local IP address rather than through the cloud.

    HDD Exception/ Camera Offline?

    I tagged you in a post several months ago (search 'return of the fans'). That NVR without a fan has a known issue with HDD failure. I'd recommend you take the NVR and HDD back where you got it (YESSS) and see if they'll fix it under warranty (I take it they gave you a new HDD when the first...

    Hikvision vs Unifi

    2.8mm is what you'll likely need for the front door if you're wanting to see someone stood at the door. Those wouldn't need to be 2.8mm. A 4mm gives a 95 degree horizontal field of view so will capture everything. Perhaps consider a vari-focal there if you're wanting to see something larger...

    Hikvision vs Unifi

    That's just lens perspective. Wide angle lenses will make objects appear smaller and more distant to one another whereas a narrower angle will compress that perspective. If you're installing a camera and want to see a person fully when stood at your door you need a 2.8mm lens. The side effect...

    Hikvision vs Unifi

    When you're so close to the front door you shouldn't need a vari-focal; it's the one time I'd usually use a 2.8mm over a 4mm. One thing regarding your installation...If you're mounting directly to brickwork like you have there, remove and throw away the big ugly compression gland from the...

    Hikvision vs Unifi

    I literally get nothing other than live view and basic playback - no notifications are possible as events aren't supported from ONVIF cameras without an AI Port. Live View/Playback are the same - you click on the camera to view it live, to view playback you scroll back through the timeline on...

    Hikvision vs Unifi

    I've not used them, though I have considered them a few times. It's only the most recent G6 Pro models that have gone to the larger 1/1.2" sensor. As for the 'optical zoom' they're just a motorised varifocal lens as you can get on some Hikvision models. The app (Protect) looks fairly basic...

    Hikvision cameras 12/16 MP

    The low light performance will be the trade off for the higher resolution. It's a 1/1.8" sensor and f1.6 aperture. A couple of other things that jump out from the product data: Set to 16MP it's limited to 12.5 FPS Set to 12MP it's limited to 20 FPS If you want 25 FPS, you'll need to drop it...

    Hik-Connect New Update

    I seem to remember that when I shared our system to my wife’s account that she didn’t get access to to AcuSeek, so you may need to keep team mode and have her join the team.

    Hikvision cameras 12/16 MP

    16MP with a 1/1.8" sensor, I'm surprised at that. I noticed that the new dark fighter turret (DS-2DC23x6G3) keeps the 1/1.8" for 8MP but for the 4MP models it's only 1/3".

    Hik-Connect New Update

    It should work in 5.05.361 but there is 5.05.365_251029 available. Hik-Connect needs to be latest version (I'm also on 6.10.970 but iOS version) and you'll have to use cloud to get it working. It is annoying that some features are only available with cloud connection to Hik-Connect but that's...

    Hik-Connect New Update

    It works fine for me and has done on iOS Hik-Connect for months. What exact model number and firmware version is your NVR? Also what version is your Hik-Connect. The ability to use AciSeek on Hik-Connect was added in NVR firmware

    Tablet for Hik App - Amazon Fire or Alternative

    I had a different use case for Fully Kiosk on my Fire HDs and so wasn't using motion to wake etc. Primary use for me was with my dashboard app that controls the smart home devices. I used Fully to allow dashboard tiles to open apps via their android intent url without existing the dashboard...

    Camera Connection issues - DS-7608NI-M2/8P V 5 Firmware

    I only remember that happening to me once before and I'm going back a few years so it was an older camera and NVR model. Although I use the PoE ports, I've often disabled them as detailed above to not use plug and play, and manually configured them with 192.168.254.101, 102 and so on.

    Camera Connection issues - DS-7608NI-M2/8P V 5 Firmware

    Very strange... If the camera was brand new and unactivated, plugging it into one of the NVRs PoE ports would activate it and assign it the NVRs admin password or default channel password if different. You've confirmed that you've reset the camera to unactivated state before trying it again so...

    VPro (Acuseek) NVR - First Impressions

    Check your settings in Device Access for video. When you move cameras from one NVR to another they can change. As an example I use H264 on my cameras but as NVRs have a default setting of 'allow H265 for initial access' enabled, all of my cameras were switched to H265 with their maximum...

    VPro (Acuseek) NVR - First Impressions

    I got it from a serial number search on Hik-Partner Pro, but that will now give you the latest .365: Download Link of Firmware_3000682406_ML_V5.05.365_251029 Release Notes:

    VPro (Acuseek) NVR - First Impressions

    I think you need to go to .351 to get AcuSeek working on Hik-Connect. Then .361 adds Perimeter Protection engine (as all NXIs have for non AcuSense cams) but using that will be at the expense of losing AcuSearch and AcuSeek as there are two engines, you cannot have Search without Seek (and vice...
