    Hi,

     

    Does anyone know if it's possible to have the snapshot functionality run at a lower resolution to the actual camera?

     

    I'm using Cammy an Australian app which stores up to 1 frame per second for free, however my cameras are running at 3 mega pixels which means my upload speeds aren't enough to send to them.

     

    I'm saving directly to the NVR so want high resolution, but would also like higher frame rate footage on the app.

     

    Cheers

    Ah ok, thank you this is starting to finally become clear. I'm going to try and directly connect to the NVR via the PoE port and change my computer's IP address to be the same subnet as the cameras. e.g. 192.168.254.YYY and then change the IP addresses of the cameras to be on the same subnet as what my computer is normally on e.g. 192.168.1.XXX

     

    I'm hoping to finally nail this over the weekend, and then write a guide for all the other newbies

    Hi and thanks for the detailed explanation. I have tried searching but obviously I'm searching for the wrong things as haven't found anything to help.

     

    The DVR was running 3.0.8 and didn't have the virtual host setting, so I upgraded to 3.0.10 and that doesn't have it either.

     

    I'll try changing my computers IP and doing what you said thank you.

     

    However what I'm also puzzled by is why I can't I also connect to the cameras once they are connected directly the switch? Is this the IP issue as well? Assume I can change their IP addresses?

     

    Cheers

    So I've connected the PC directly to the DVR, the camera shows in the DVR web interface the camera is on 192.168.254.2 and port 8000, but I still can't access it directly through a browser.

     

    I've tried the SADP application again whilst the DVR is directly connected to the PC and it only finds the DVR.

     

    For some reason I thought all this stuff would be plug and play with today's technology

    Hi,

     

    I'm in the process of setting up my Hikvision DS-7608NI NVR and it appears too missing the virtual host settings I need to be able to access the cameras.

     

    Under network > advanced settings it shows 'enable telnet' but it doesn't have enable 'virtual host' as shown in the manual.

     

    The NVR is using firmware V3.0.8 build 140825

     

    Am I running the wrong firmware or is there another setting somewhere I need to select to be able to enable the virtual host?

     

    Many thanks

    Alex

    Hi,

     

    I've just purchased my first CCTV setup and am struggling to get it working correctly.

     

    Thanks to all the previous posts which have led me down the Hikvision path.

     

    I have a Hikvision NVR DS-7608NI 8x PoE and 4x Hikvision DS-2CD2332 turret cams alongside an Alloy PoE 24 port switch.

     

    I'm struggling to either connect directly to the camera as the camera can't be found at the default IP address http://192.0.0.64/.

     

    If I connect the camera to the NVR I can view the footage through the NVR web app but then I can't connect to the camera locally or through my mobile apps as it doesn't detect the camera when scanning. When the camera is plugged into the NVR although I can view it through the NVR web app I can't find it in SADP.

     

    If I plug it in to my switch the IR light lights up and then turns off, the switch shows it using PoE and requesting 15.4W. But scanning doesn't discover it.

     

    I've also tried using the SADP application but that only finds the NVR and not the camera.

     

    Any ideas would be much appreciated.

     

    Cheers

    Alex

    Switch: 192.168.1.1

    NVR: 192.168.1.6

    Thanks will take a look at the other camera. Our whole house as flat eaves so positioning luckily should be easy with any of them. From looking at the turret I was wondering if it's worth paying a little extra for the DS-2CE16C4P but I can't find any reviews on it.

    Hi everyone,

     

    I'd really appreciate your advice as this is my first CCTV system and I've already made a mistake

     

    Firstly I purchased a Y Cam bullet gen 2, and have since realised that this probably wasn't worth the additional cost over the Hikvision.

     

    I've been looking at ordering 4x 2132 Hikvision domes as well as the Y Cam bullet, for my house, but I'm not sure on the best approach to ensure there are no blind spots.

     

    The house is on a hill with the garage under the front of the house. I'd like a camera on the inside of the garage in case it is ever broken in to.

    I've uploaded a quick sketch of the house above, and would really appreciate some help on what cameras to buy and lenses?

     

    Many thanks in advance.

     

    Cheers
