Maybe multichannel playback will solve it for you? Like, you have camera 1-4, but only channel 1 has the audio recorded. When you do playback, if you want to playback channel 4, you pñlayback at the same time channel 1 with the audio. I know it is not the best solution, but... What you are asking for really does make sense. The audio stream is lightweight, so it would not be a biog problem to record it several times with different video feeds.

Why can't you see them on the web viewer? I have a hybrid Dahua (16ch analog + 16ch IP) and I can see any channel on the web interface.

I think it is not possible, at least not easily. There are many different protocols when adding a device (ONVIF and many manufacturers), but no RTSP. I would love it if someone says otherwise...

You need to know what software to use, and not just try random Android CCTV programs. Check your DVR documentation or the CD that came with it.

Well, doh... How about trying on Dahua's web page? The same place where you had to go find the latest version of PSS? http://www.dahuasecurity.com/download_12.html

If you are not happy with a DVR, you will think a USB capture device is crap. I would tell you to avoid them completely...

I think all Dahua's I have used have a 6 character limit. It sucks, but I got used to it...

I do not know what coputry you are from, you should contact a Hikvision dealer (in fact, you should contact whoever you got the unit from). You can also try with CBX on the forum.

As I said, you have not even tried. What you are asking for is trivial, one minute browsing the configuration and you would have found it. Web interface -> Configuration -> User management -> "Add" or "Modify" an account, and assign the permissions you want them to have (like, remote preview channels 1-4, but not the rest). Having different output on the HDMI and VGA ports, you need to do it locally.

Yes to both. You really haven't tried much...

Post a picture of what you got. If it is what I think, to use them you have to crimp the RJ45 connector that goes on the UTP cable that reaches the camera. You can't use them with premade cables.

If you check "regular", you will be recording all the time. You should be using "detect", and then configure motion detection.

Strange that you still have not been banned, hope it doesn't take too long.

You have to look at the total Mbps the NVR can handle; on this model, 80Mbps. You can share those 80Mbps how you like amongst all the cameras, so you could do 16 cameras at 5Mbps each. Or maybe you could do 4 cameras at 8Mbps, 4 cameras at 5Mbps, and 8 cameras at 3.5Mbps. Etc. The bitrate is not completely related to the resolution. You can have a 2Mp camera at 5Mbps, and a 3Mp camera also at 5Mbps; of course, on the 3Mp camera the compression will be higher to be able to have 50% more resolution on the same bitrate. You can have a camera looking somewhere with little movement at 3Mpbs, and a camera looking at a place with a lot of movement at 10Mbps. Yes, thay can do both up to 1920x1080. Image quality will be the same (but VGA does not support audio).

As I said, you can do it. If you have the password of your neighbour's wifi, and the router password so you can open ports, that is. And the knowledge to do it, of course....

Resolution and fps is not completely related to bitrate. And bitrate is unrelated to the interface max speed. 100mbps is the network interface speed on each of the ports, it doesn't matter if you only use 5-10mbps for each camera. DS-7716NI-SP has HDMI and VGA output, up to 1920x1080 each. So you can connecto two monitors and have them show different cameras (those monitors will need VGA and HDMI input, of course; no analog monitors).

Awesome. I am in remote so I can not test it now, but it is great to know the reason why I wasn't seeing it any more (even I have never changed that option, I didn't even know it existed). Thanks!

Not an easy one. You will have to get an unlock code from Hikvision.

It detects it for you. Your public IP, that is, which I hope is the one you are trying to connect to when you are outside your wifi.

Good to know I am not the only one. The green grid on live view is cool, it is useful to see where in the image the camera is detecting movement at a given moment. It came up sometime after a firmware upgrade. But now for whatever reason it is not being shown any more... I just don't know how it appeared, how it disappeared, or how to get it back

Something is wrong in there, the router and DVR have the same IP...? Is that a mistake, and the router is 192.168.1.254? You can go to http://www.canyouseeme.org to check if something is seen on ports 8080 and 8888.

Not really sure if that is the option. I just checked 3 of my cameras, I do have the "Dynamic Analysis for Motion" checked, but I do not see the grid when seeing them live view (camera's web interface, not the NVR). One has 5.1.0, the other have 5.1.6. I am not sure how to get the grid to show, since I do remember seeing it many times on several cameras...

"Up the coax". You will be able to control the OSD menus on the cameras from the DVR end of the cable.

Buy cameras that support UTC.

Use VLC, and access the cameras over RTSP. You can create a VLC shortcut for each camera.
