  1. I have my Hikvision 7608 set to record continuously. But I'd like to make playback much easier -- have it show options for just times when there was motion. Is there a setting so it indexes the playback stream to when there was an "alarm"? On the monitor I have hooked up to my NVR, when viewing live, it will show a ringing bell icon when in alarm state. I'd like to just view these via playback from the browser, while still have the entire stream on disk. Is that possible?

    Bricked 7608 NVR?

    Well, apparently any old tftp server won't work. But I found the Hikvision one here: viewtopic.php?t=25091 now back up and (mostly) running. Have to set it all back up again and figure out why 3 of 4 cameras don't work and say "network abnormal" when I try to login...
  3. I installed the 3.09 firmware from the European site and now my NVR won't boot. It shows a Hikvision graphic on the screen, beeps twice, then the monitor seems to shut down. It seems to try to reboot and beeps twice again but that's it. Is this thing dead? Any way to recover it? It does not show up on the network using the SADP tool. Thanks
  4. Same problem there. But flushing my cache seems to have fixed it.
  5. I put the US Firmware on my 7608-NI-SE (I bought it from China) and when I try to login to the webpage I get "Network abnormal". Any ideas?
  6. I have a sensor on my alarm system. I can monitor my alarm system for that sensor tripping. I'd like a way to signal either my Hikvision camera or Hikvision NVR via the network (telnet, http or whatever) to trigger a camera alarm and have it email me a snapshot of the current picture as if the camera's motion detector set the alarm. I don't want to use the motion detector all the time though (too many false positives) that's why I'd like to use the alarm sensor from my alarm system. Anybody know how to do this?
  7. I have a DS-7608NI-SE NVR running version 2.3.7 build 140327. This ships with Web Components version 3.0.4.6. My cameras are running V5.1.2 build 140116 and ship with Web Components version 3.0.5.5. With version 3.0.5.5 installed Firefox works fine with the NVR and cameras directly. Internet Explorer works with the cameras but not with the NVR -- I get prompted to "upgrade/install" my plugin. Any ideas how to overcome this? I'd downgrade firmware on either device if I thought it would help.
  8. Ok so basically you are just keeping a local clock set to local time and not updating anything with NTP. So timezones don't really matter in your scenario. I'm curious if your cameras are really syncing with the NVR or if the clocks are just good at keeping time. If you set your timezone on your camera to your local timezone and update with NTP, does it show the correct time or is it off by an hour?
  9. I am wondering now if this is not related to the NVR at all. If I turn off the DST settings on the cameras, all works fine. Can anybody with a HIKVision camera running the 140116 firmware check and see if their time is correct with and without the DST settings?
  10. Do you know how I do that? Do I put the NVR address as the time server?
  11. I can't figure this out. I have 3 HIKVision cameras all on V5.1.2 build 140116 and 1 HIKVision DS-7608NI-SE NVR on V 2.37 build 140327. I have DST Settings set the same on all of them -- DST Start 2nd Sunday in March; end first sunday in November, DST bias 60 minutes. They are all set for Eastern Time. time.windows.com and time.ntp.org have both been used. I'm not sure what causes it, but the cameras always seem to be an hour ahead.

    Hikvision NVRs?

    I am upgrading from Foscam cameras and Blue Iris to Hikvision cameras. These cameras are a bit much for Blue Iris and my current CPU so I'm looking at a dedicated NVR. But I can't seem to find any good reviews or information on them. Where does one get firmware updates for a HIKVision NVR? Are they any good? I only have four cameras and already have the PoE taken care of so I'm currently looking at their lower end NVR. I have played with the desktop software but it is not very intuitive (the streaming/storage piece; the viewing piece is pretty good).
