    Have a Hikvision NVR DS-7716NI-SP POE NVR and have all the cameras hook up directly to the NVR.

    One camera DS-2CD2432F-IW, has a PIR sensor for detecting motion.

    The NVR seems to only have settings to set the camera with motion alerts, based on changes of the pixels in the field of view.

    Am I missing something on the NVR to change this setting to use the PIR sensor?

    Have mac with iVMS-4200 software also, is there a setting on this software that can be used?

    (NVR bought in US, cams through China - and not sure how to access cams directly if that is what is needed?)

    Thanks

    Able to see my Cameras from Wifi but not 3G/LTE

     

    My knowledge on routers and networks is pretty spotty so really could use some help on where I need to concentrate my focus:

     

    Have:

    Hikvision NVR DS-7716 NI-SP16

    All IP Hikvision camera plug into NVR ethernet ports

    FIOS M1424WR Rev.1 Router

     

    My basic understanding is I need to have a DDNS and port forwarding set up?

     

    I’m lost on where to start and what devices to set up?

    NVR has:

    - DDNS tab which now has: DDNS type “HiDDNS"; Server Address “ http://www.hik-online.com” ?

    - General Tab with: Preferred DNS Server “192.xxx.x.x” ?

    At http://www.hik-online.com there is a web DDNS Management System v.1.0 ?

    Also my FIOS router has “Dynamic DNS” and “DNS Server” ?

    Then there is the is the iVMS-4500 iPhone App which has set up choice of “IP/Domain” (which I’m using now and working with Wifi) or can be configured with “HiDDNS” or “IP Server” ?

     

    The FIOS router also has port forwarding which is set up

    “Networked Comp / Device” has: 192.xxx.x.x5:80, 192.xxx.x.x5:8000, 192.xxx.x.x5:1024, 192.xxx.x.x5:443 (the “192.xxx.x.x5” is the same as the Preferred DNS Server “192.xxx.x.x” on the NVR, except for the addition “5” on the end)

    “Applications and Port Forwarded” has: “DVR_NVR PORT MAP TCP Any -> “34338” (each different numbers)

    NVR “Port” setting: Server Port 8000, HTTP Port 80, Multicast IP (none), RTSP Port 554

     

    Thanks, Patrick !

    Hard Drive recommendations?

     

    Just bought Hikvision NVR (DS-7716NI-SP/16)

     

    For Home use 16 cams and probably just have cameras recording with motion.

     

    Hard drive prices have come down quite a bit so looking at 3TB ... believe that should be more than enough for my needs? 4TB not much more ... so suggestions there also if better choice?

     

    What drives are recommended for NVR? Use same criteria to evaluate drives as you would if buying for a desktop computer?

     

    Thanks, Patrick

    I have never added a speaker, so i cant recommend a specific product, but you are correct the speaker will need separate power because the camera doesn’t have enough amplification power.

     

    I would check out some of dedicated all in one video/audio door products such as: http://www.getdoorbot.com

     

    I do wonder how effective a 2532 would be for this task. In my experience people don't usually wait very long at a unanswered door. For me by the time the notification arrived on my phone and i logged in remotely for communication, most people would have gone and i would be talking to myself :/

    ------

     

    Thanks - makes sense ...didnt know about Doorbot, and found another SkyBel.

    Nice concepts, but reviews look iffy, a lot say not working well ... will research more!

    Here is the URL

    Click on the "Overview" tab to see screenshot

     

    I'm confident its a print mistake, unless Hikvision have just updated the 2532 camera to include this, highly unlike though imo.

    ---

     

    So if the above is wrong and there is no internal speaker ...

    - Is it as simple as attaching a wire to an external speaker, or is there some time of amplifier needed?

    - Where do you find external speakers to attach?

    Thanks again!

    If I purchase the following Hikvision products:

    -Camera DS-2CD2532F-IWS (has built in mic and speaker)

    -NVR 7716NI-SP/16

    If I mount this cam at my front door: will I be able to talk to someone at my front door, using the Hikvision iPhone app?

    The model with audio also has WiFi, does this WiFi model also have an ethernet port for hard wiring?

    Will all video and audio go through one Cat 5e wire? (what is this "audio dongle" mentioned above?)

    Is this Full duplex, half duplex, etc ?

     

    Ideally I would like to set it up so: My iPhone is alerted by the camera detecting motion at the front door and I then can see who is there and converse as needed.

    If this will not work ... other suggestions ?

    Thanks Patrick

     

    There is no inbuilt speaker, only a mic. For them to hear you, you would need to connect a separate/external speaker via one of the IO connectors on the camera.

    The wifi model also has a Ethernet port.

    Video and Audio will go through the CAT5e wire

    Full duplex

     

    Attached a couple of photos to help show the connections. Hope this helps

    ---------

    Please see attach DS-2CD2532F-I(W)(S) screen shot below from Hikvision.com

    It state "Built in microphone & speaker" - Is this a different model or is it a mistake?

    - if there is a built in speaker - will the Hikvision iPhone app allow 2 way audio ?

    - if there is not a built in speaker: I will also be using Channel Vision DP-0302 door intercom (rings all phones in the house using the TE110). Can I use this as the speaker for the camera also? (attached image)

    The audio connector on the dongle only needs to be connected if you want to use 2 way audio. Without any audio connections as long as you are streaming video and audio you can enable audio in the live view window. If you are not able to enable the audio then change your stream from Video only.

    Been doing a lot of research on these forums and with so many options finding myself going down lots of different paths.

    Looking to see if any decent package options or go with single manufacture to mix and match compatible components?

    I have cat5 wire everywhere I want to put a camera, so looking at NVR (POE)

    16 Ch (to cover outdoor and indoor of the main and guest house)

    Front door cam will want 2 way audio

    Indoor cams also 2 way audio

    Decent iphone app that reliable connects

    Back yard night coverage 75 ft would be great ( 50ft OK)

    Alarm In/Output -will be using the motion on cameras to turn on lights (through my HAI OmniPro)

    I would be monitoring the system only when notified of breach and mainly on iPhone (but also web access at times)

    Budget - looking for value, but lucky in that don't have too much of a cost constraint, based on what I've see on pricing on the equipment.

    I see here Hikvision and Dahua are often recommended

     

    With Hikvison for example, looks like it will do most of what I want, but????:

    Their NVR (POE)(DS-7716NI-sp) only handles 80Mbps bandwidth IP video Input - is that enough?

    Do they have 2 way audio outdoor dome camera, (or are they all plug in external mic and speaker). If only external mic and speakers, for outdoors what are the preferred ones?

    Their indoor 2 way cam DS-2cd2432f-iw, looks like a very nice one?

    Do they have a good iPhone app?

     

    Recommendations on any decent package options or manufacture to mix and match compatible components, highly appreciated!!!

     

    Thanks,

    Patrick
