Hi all. Had a storm and my NVR shut off and now won't turn on. I tried another power cord and no luck. I had it plugged into a power surge protector which shows all is fine. Is there a fuse or something inside my Hikvision NVR?

So i need to use the internal ivp4 address? Which is 192.0.0.1 from memory? I set 192.0.0.X and it will work?

Hi all, my cameras all work but i had a question with the ips. I used ipconfig and my default gateway is 10.0.0.138 My cameras on my NVR are 192.0.0.X Does that sound correct or am i missing something here. Im trying to replicate this with a friend and his cameras don't connect.

Hi all. My neighbour's have locked themselves out of their Hills brand NVR. They were logging in fine then one day the same password wasn't working. Now they have entered it incorrect to many times and its locked them out. They are not connected to the internet. Is there anyway to reset the whole system?

Hi all, I have a Hikvision outdoor dome which has suddenly got a problem. It goes into night mode, turns black and white, IRs come on but its like the Iris isnt opening up as its a lot darker than usual. Its been fine for 2 years but now this. I have played with all the settings but no luck. Any suggestions?

I have same problem. I fixed mine for now by turning brightness down to about 115. 128 is default

Hi all, can anyone zoom in and enhance a number plate of a car I have on footage? I can zoom in and get a decent look at the plate but wondered if someone had an algorithm that can enhance more?

Do you have a DDNS server? Does your app on your phone have a DDNS section?

Need help please. Ok I have Hikvision NVR 8 port POE. Its all set up and working fine until I bought a new PTZ Hikvision to replace a dome camera. I connected the new PTZ thinking thats all I needed to do but it comes up NO LINK and I can't obviously see it. I am not overly tech savvy but im not stuipid either lol. My other cameras according to my NVR are 192.0.0.x My new camera is 192.168.1.64, I tried to change the IP with SADP but it wouldnt let me set any IP My default gateway is 10.0.0.138 according to ipconfig SO im confused if my default gate way is 10. etc then where and how is 192.etc working?? My NVR sees the camera when I got to "quick add" part and it sees it as 192.168.1.64, when Itry to add a new camera in the old cameras port it won't let me delete the old cameras IP and settings. I am sure its just a configuration thing, can anyone set me through it ????

Did a reset on camera and NVR and still no luck. Looks like ill have to run it thru the modem as that's the only way I can get it to come up on the NVR

Ill do a rest today see if that works. Work this out though. My cameras that do work are 192.0.0.X with a gateway of 10.0.0.138 one even has a gatway of 0.0.0.0 Isnt the gateway meant to be in the same numbers as the cameras IPs?

Yeh i thought of reseting the nvr and camera to default to see if that works. I am currently running it into my modem and it all works but no recording i think due to not being in the nvr. If i reset nvr and take photos off all current settings will that be all i need to reinput all the current settings?

I have the exact same problem. Doesnt seem like many people post enough to help in this forum

Firmware is the latest on the camera. It comes up on my nvr screen when i plug it directly into my modem. When i plug it direct into my nvr i get nothing. I have tried dhcp as it sets a ip of 10.0.0.X but same problem nothing on the nvr only when i plug it into modem its visible

Ok i managed to get the camera working but only on my network. Its plugged into my modem and my nvr can see it. But when i plug it into the port in my nvr it doesn't show it!

Ok, so I f#@ked up and bought a indoor Hikvision camera ptz to be used outside. Anyone else done this and how long diod or would the camera last???? The camera is under eaves so doesn't get direct rain on it. No snow where I live either. How long will it last???

What do you mean by inside your lan? I run ivms on my samsung s4 s5 s6 and tab4 and ipad. Both cellular and on wifi work fine. Except when i go out and connect to shops wifi. Sometimes they don't work. Just use cellular if it works

Hikvision are brilliant. About 400-600

Would be cheaper and better to throw it out and buy a new camera. You can get cameras for swann systems from aliexpress for under 150

What brand are the ones on ebay?

Do you have eaves around the house? I use hikvision and would thoroughly recommend them.

Currently with an NVR. Im looking into a cloud server as well. Just more incase someone breaks in and steals my NVR, at least then the footage will still be there.

Here is a night time shot with 3mp hikvision cameras

I run hikvision 3mp but now hikvision do 4mp. My 3mp has identified car thefts before and good enough quality for prosecution. Police have also commented how clear it is at night, even though i think its still grainy. You are running 400tvl which is really craply old technology. Change the whole system. I ran a Samsung s4 with ivms4500 app and view live and replay footage. I now have Samsung s6 and just as good. So my suggestion get into the 4mp hikvision camera range im sure you will be happy.

Hikvision cameras and systems will work. They have motion detection with adjustable sensitivity. Mine pick up cats walking past and even bugs flying past. Not sure about the distance to front gate unless you run a cat6 cable from recorder (NVR) to the camera.
