Hikvision 1080p DVR problems

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have 8 x of cctv global 1080p sony sensor AHD cameras. Which are here:

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1080P-SONY-SENSOR-WHITE-HD-TVI-AHD-CVI-ANALOGUE-CCTV-DOME-CAMERA-2-8-12mm-30m-IR/122230799141?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

 

I have just bought a Hikvision DS-7208HQHI-K1 1080p DVR. Which is here:

 

https://www.hikvision.com/en/Products/Digital-Video-Recorder/Turbo-HD-DVR/Turbo-HD-4.0/DS-7204/7208/7216HQHI-K1

 

However, when in the recoridngs paramters are, the DVR won't give me any options for 1080p. The highest resolution the DVR will give me in the drop down menu for each camera is WD1 (576 x 960).

 

But according the the manual, there should be 1080p for all cameras.

 

I'm also locked out (greyed out) of the quality settings and so they are stuck on Medium and i have noticed that the bandwidth is also stuck on a very low figure such as 800, but should be able to go as high as 6000.

 

Also, looking at the live feeds on the main screen, they look nowhere near 1080p resolution. More like 960h. But they are deinfately proper 1080p cameras.

 

Does anyone know what is going on?

 

Thanks

Hi. What happends when you switch to TVI ?

 

Hi, Sorry I don't understand what you mean?

 

My cameras are TVI cameras and the DVR can accept TVI. I can't see any TVI settings in the DVR

 

Thanks

Hi. You need to set the camera to the formate you want

 

Set one up next to your dvr and use the control on the BNC cable coming out of the camera.

Many thanks, i completely forgot that the cameras have those switches on them!!!

 

I have got it working now at 1080p after adjusting the switch on one camera.

 

Thanks for your help!
