Just for your information, you can also do it from iVMS-4000 and iVMS-4200 software on a compyter; with it you can download not just single files, but time intervals (like, 21/Apr/2014 from 04:00 to 22/Apr/2014 09:00).

Some of them are; the cheapest units are not. If you only record with movement detection, you won't be stressing the HD as much as if you record all cameras 24/7.

Do you know what brand and model of HD the DVR has installed? If you have been using it non stop for 6 months, you might have very well killed the HD if it is a cheap model. I would also try to use the HD on a computer. If you do need to buy a new HD, get one that is ready for 24/7 operation.

I agree with shockwave199, that Hikvision camera is a nice option. It does not have battery included, so you will need a power outlet near, or a small 12V battery for those cases when you might want to put it somewhere where you have no power.

I doubt EagleEyes will work with that, EagleEyes is for AV-Tech units. Why are you trying it? Check your DVR documentation to know what Android software you have to use, or ask the seller.

What is your DVR? I think EagleEyes only works with AV-Tech devices. Also; the web port is usually not used when accessing from a client software.

That is 3840x2160 resolution; 4 times more detail than 1080p (1920x1080).

LOL... You really do enjoy playing with the guts of your Hikvision products

That might be for a number of reasons... - You might be recording with variable bit rate. That will make the recordings on a camera with a lot of movement take up more HD than a camera with little movement. - You might be recording with motion detection. The more movement, the more recordings, so it will use more HD. - Cameras might be configured with different resolutions, different frame rates, etc. Anyway, HD space does not "reduce". The fact that two recordings last 60 minutes with the same settings, does not even mean that they will use the same storage space on HD.

It does not show any lights. No blinking led. The IR leds can not be seen. On a dark place, you can have the unit two feet in front of your face, and you won't even notice it.

It's called "recordings", they usually do they take up space on the hard drive... Seriously now; how are you checking those "estimates"? Because no, the HD capacity never reduces.

Try "meye".

I have some products that also advertise and work with P2P. I do like them, so far. The catch; there is no need for opening ports or having a static IP. Do not ask me (yet) how it works, since I have not done any research. But I have seen it working, and it is a cool feature, indeed.

That is pretty cool, nice way for broadcasting to many people at once! " title="Applause" />

Older models specifications are not so clear. Forget about the "8ch 4CIF, 4ch 720p, 2ch whatever". You have 8ch and a given bandwidth; and you can share the resources among the number of channels you have, however you want. DS-7608NI-SE can do 8ch and has 40mbps bandwidth. You could do 8ch at 5mbps each. You could also do 4ch 9mbps and 4ch 1mbps. And those 4ch 1mbps could be at 1920x1080@25fps, but the video would be so compressed that the quality would suck big time. And as UserM says, 7608NI-S and 7608NI-SE are not the same.

If you have Hikvision cameras, I would go for a Hikvision NVR. With Dahua NVR you won't be able to do motion detection, so you will end up recording 24/7. DS-7608NI-SE can record 8ch 1920x1080@25fps, total 40mbps bandwidth (5mbps per camera). NVR3108 can also do 8ch 1920x1080@25fps, with 32mbps bandwidth (4mbps per camera).

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40308 I do not see it as anything serious. If you have the telnet port open to the world, and leave the admin password as default 12345, well... I think it is the owner's fault, not Hikvision's.

It doesn't matter.

That is surely an OLD version of the software...

There is nothing to enhance there. You know it was two guys on a motorcycle, and that is all you will know from that recording. Glad that at least noone was hurt.

I either charge for them, or give them for free in our installations with our logo and web site URL on it.

You might have fried the network port on the camera.

Well, you should probably check your local legislation, if any... The signs I have to put up in Spain would be quite worthless to you. http://www.securame.com/rotulos-informativos-amarillos-videovigilancia-lopd-c-76.html

Not possible, the HD needs to be installed inside the DVR.

But do they give you problems because they have the same MAC? I would just configure one each time, put them with different fixed IPs, and I think they should be fine, even if they do share the same MAC address.
