I understand the ‘line crossing’ ‘intrusion’ ‘face alarm’ emails but I am getting roughly 100 billion ‘take’ emails and Ive no idea how to turn them off!

I don’t have any standard motion detection enabled, could someone shed some light please!!

I have 2 cameras setup but only 1 is causing this issue: DS­2CD4526FWD­IZ

nvr: DS­7716NI­I4­16P

thanks

I have the HikVision DS-7716NI-I4/16P NVR and can't for the life of me find the lock out for illegal logins?!

The HikVision cameras have a check box under the Security/Security Service menu but the NVR doesn't.

I occasionally get 1000s of illegal logins for the Admin account but it never locks out...any ideas?!

Cheers

Yes, single channel. Should be working, its not rocket science. Could well be firmware issue I guess

The model is NVR3208.

Yes, this was a cheap one, however the instructions show it 'should' work and the adverts selling them state that it has it?!

Bump...

I have been scratching my head for a while now with this one...

I am trying to do a smart search but the button is always greyed out, what am I doing wrong? I get the channel playing then select an area but still its greyed out. Any ideas?

Thanks

Where do you view your cameras- at the nvr monitor all the time or remotely? Remotely you can use PSS and make a task which will bring up only four cameras in the order you choose every time you open it. At the nvr, if nothing else works and if you haven't gotten too deep into custom settings, you can probably take all four lines out, default the nvr, and then plug the lines back in the order you want them. Goofy way to do it I think, but if all else fails it'd probably work. And turn off auto reboot. Not needed.

Appreciate that. I view them on a 'remote' monitor cabled directly to the NVR. I have turned off auto reboot and they now stay put. Is there any reason to use auto reboot, I know on my old DVR if I didnt reboot, it would lock up?

Thanks for taking the time to send me your screen shot. My explaination of what I did was directly on the NVR. I have just tried it from the web login and I get this error:

In the lower box the delete button is grey. If I add another camera the delete button is red and I can click that and delete it. The grey button does nothing?!

Cheers.

I have turned off auto maintain that rebooted it every week. Does it not need this, I assumed as it was on by default it needed to?

When I try to delete the cameras under remote devices the delete button doesn't work. All the cameras were added automatically and now they wont delete. If I am a camera manually I can deleted but not the ones that are auto added, any ideas?

The TOUR settings dont change what I require, this just changes the flicking through all the channels.

Does anyone know how to set this NVR to default to viewing only 4 cameras on reboot?

Every time I reboot this or it auto reboots it displays 8 cameras but I only have 4 connected so it would be helpful to default to 4.

Also how do I change which camera goes to which channel as at the moment they have just gone into 1-4 in the order I connected them?

Thanks

Thanks for your help guys, I understand now.

I am looking at the 3208 as knowing me I will want to add more cameras at some point.

Does anyone have a manual for this system they could send me, I've searched everywhere and it seems Dahua want to keep it secret?!

I record mine with four 1080 cameras, all set at CBR 4096 15fps and it is plenty great. Doesn't answer your specific question though. I just never had a need to go any higher to see.

Appreciate that Shockwave, that does help me. What cameras do you use with yours?

I am looking at getting this NVR with 4 x 2mp cameras. Am I correct in thinking that I will be able to record ALL 4 channels at full 1080p 8192mbps? I have searched the forum many times and cannot quite understand if this is the case or if its only 1080p for 1 channel and the more you add the lower the quality gets?

Thanks

Well they cost £150 each, low end I know but the ebay ones were about £40 and are quite old.

I have taken the protective film off of both and the lenses look clean, I don't think I touched them. How would I go about cleaning them?

I have just installed 2 new Nite Devil camera's and although the night vision and colour reproduction is great I am unhappy with the quality of the pictures, they look very soft and slightly out of focus even tho I have spent ages focusing them. Depending on the time of day and light ch2 can look slightly better but ch4 is just bad.

ch1 and 3 are cheap ebay 420tvl, 6 years old, ch2 and 4 are new nite devils and are 600TVL true day night, ICR.

I think the old camera's are sharper.

I am focusing them by looking at the laptop screen, which isn't ideal but all I can do....am I missing something?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks guys, any suggestions of something equiv. to the CNB?

Cheers

What are people's opinions on this camera? Its £150+vat (not from that site). Essentially I am looking for great low light quality without loads of noise or needing to use IR.

Ideally I want to get hold of the CNB VBM-24VF however it is proving almost impossible to get in the UK so I'm having to look at others.

Are there any recommendations for anything better in the same price range?

Cheers

i would go D1. try it and see. you don't need to have such high frame rate, 6fps would be bareable.....just.

Well I currently have CIF so going to D1 would mean a new DVR, the pictures look acceptable when in a small square but when you enlarge them they just look awful.

Think I am jsut trying to find an excuse why I 'need' a new dvr!!

You know what, they have been like that for years and until you said it, I never noticed, but you're right, they do need adjusting!

I think any near decent camera will handle that fine. The camera is not actually looking at the sky so perhaps its a reflection from something else. Either way going by the washed out colors and quality of the image I imagine it is a very cheap camera, no IR Cut filter and perhaps 1/4" Sharp, maybe even CMOS? Also, have you tried cleaning the camera, a dirty camera can sometimes cause the issue you are experiencing.

Its CCD but was only about £60. The sun is just setting over a hill and the top part of the screen catches it nicely!!

Have had it down and cleaned it yes, which did actually help but the image you see here is after cleaning it, the camera makes me ashamed

Can you mount the camera in a different location?

No, its on the back on the house, haven't got that option.

One of my camera's points into the sun in the afternoon, I cant get around it if I want to see the length of the garden.

The camera is essentially blind for an hour while the sun goes down.

If I move the camera down anymore I lose site of what I am trying to view.

Could someone please recommend me a camera that can handle this situation please, I require good night quality without IR. I have been looking at the CNB VBM-24VF as it has everything I require but dont know how it would handle the sun.

The attached picture shows what happens, its just going out of shot but the picture can go almost white

Thanks for your help

I have a 4 camera setup as shown in the picture and am unhappy with the quality of the recording, its currently CIF@25fps. I want to be able to make a facial recognition, which is just about do-able with CIF.

For the distances the camera's cover would it make much of a difference upgrading to D1@6fps or should I stick with what I have?

What's best:

25fps CIF or 6fps D1?

Cheers

Hi guys,

Am looking at CNB camera's and they say they have OSD etc. Can I connect these to an analog DVR using standard BNC?

How does all the OSD/Privacy get configured?!

Thanks

After looking through the forums I have settled on a CNB dome camera.

Could you tell me where in the UK I can order one from please?

I wish to get the best picture, primarily at night but without IR as I have 2 x 50w lights which light the area quite well.

What is the best I can get for £100-£150?

Thanks
