Hi mate. Very useful video thanks. Our circumstance is a bit different. We are attempting to use a Hikvision mini dome in an Owl nest box : ] The nest box is apprx 1.2m square and you can view live cameras here on youtube for Owl boxes, Robert E Fuller has some great live feeds here on KZfaq. We will be linking it to a Hik VCR as you show and recording footage for uploading to KZfaq later. I got a bit confused with the app bit. In order to connect to the camera view with your phone you need the internet...is that right? As you have wifi there in your house. Unfortunately we don't have the internet, modem or wifi at our venue, so I assume the app will not be able to connect to the camera? I'm new to this stuff so just getting my head round it all. I think a possible way to enable phone viewing is by linking a 4G router to the VCR and using that as our signal. The area location has good 4G signal, though our course the router would need a network sim. Have I understood all this correctly? Would be grateful for any help you give. Cheers, Steve.

It depends what system you have. If the cameras and NVR are POE, then plugging the camera directly to the NVR with the cat5/ethernet type cable will power it. If they aren’t POE, or you cant physically get that connection between the canera and NVR then you will need a power supply.

Hi is there a way to have split screen just 2 cameras showing and no boxs saying no signal Thanks
@DIYJourney12 жыл бұрын
I don’t believe there is a way for 2x but you can have 4x and rather than no signal you have the hikvision label displayed.

Can you tell me why all of a sudden when I go into playback my front camera is saying no records found. Yet my back camera works for playback. I just don’t understand why it has stopped working. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, could be worth checking the recording settings to make sure it is recording.

Yes, on motion detection that would give around 2months footage

Had these set up around the house but neighbours complaining they keep flashing. Any ideas how to turn them off?
@DIYJourney13 жыл бұрын
It depends what cameras you have, I assume it the colorvu or ones with a strobe. I believe in the settings there is an option to turn them off, but may affect the quality of the image

I have a hik vision 4 camera cctv system. It works perfectly. However the most annoying thing with the system is that it bleeps whenever a camera is activated. I have gone through the camera system to try and switch off this bleeping - all without success. Can you give some advice how to switch off this bleeping. Thanks
@DIYJourney13 жыл бұрын
Hi, Apologies, this is not something I have ever come across, nor seen a setting for that option on all the NVR’s Iv had. Hopefully someone can help with this.

@@chrisyarrr hi Chris, I went through the camera system and removed the line crossing which I had created. (if this makes sense). The shadows from the sun, movement of trees, leaves rolling down my drive or anything that broke this line activated the bleeping. It might have been a tad to sensitive. But it’s now sorted, if you are having the same problem. To eliminate the bleeping, Go into the settings and the bleeping remove any line crossings, grids or tweak the sensitivity of the system. It worked for me 👍

Hi, You can reset each camera at the unit itself, under the cover that is screwed down.

DIY Journey hi, thanks for your quick reply. The camera is a turret camera and there’s no physical reset button on it. I’ve just checked

Hi, If you want to power a remote camera, you would need a Power over ethernet injector, then you would connect that between the tp link powerline adaptor and the camera.

Good evening how to remove no link on display which I have 5 camera with 8 channels nvr. Thanks
@DIYJourney13 жыл бұрын
Give this a try: Log into your NVR and navigate to the Menu (right click) Select Configuration Click on the Live View tab on the left hand side At the top of this window, click on the View tab Select the live view layout you wish to configure via the buttons on the bottom left of the preview panel (in this case 4x4) Click the [x] next to the channel name (D01, D02 etc.) of any camera you don't wish to view in the preview panel (our customer needed to remove 6 unused channels). Their D01-D16 name should be replaced with a blank X Hit Apply when done Navigate back to your NVRs live view and the No Link messages should have been replaced with the Hikvision logo.

It is needed for the set up. Not essential after, but any alterations would require one or a laptop.
