Yeah, thanks for pointing that out.

Just got a reply from HikvisionUSA tech support on this issue. They would not support my cameras because I purchased them from Amazon. I do believe I'm done with Hikvision all together.

Guys, I have an issue with my system I can't figure out. I have a 4 camera Hikvision system with NVR. During playback on any Android device I get an "abnormal playback" error when trying to replay recordings. The recording plays fine for a few seconds, then stops and gives me the error. I've been trying to fix this for days. Any idea what may be causing this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I tried and tried and tried to get my hik 2032 using IMVS-4200 to record on motion as well with not luck. I installed PCNVR which is also Hikvision software and got that working. FYI.

Anybody happen to have a link to this version of firmware? Upgraded to 5.1 and now my web interface does not work. Thanks.

In case you're interested, here is a very good review of the camera you're looking at. May answer some of your questions. http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=1968#more-1968

I just installed xprotectgo and I could not enter the code either. After pulling my hair out for a while trying to figure it out, I noticed the email I got had a license file in it and directions for what to do with it. Basically I had to save it to my computer, then go into the xprotectgo management app and under "file" at the top left, there is a "manage license offline" option -----> "import license". Navigate to where it was saved on your computer to import it. Re-started it and all was registered/licensed as it should be.

I'm not exactly an expert but I just installed 3 of the 2032 bullets. You'll need to plug it into a POE port from either a network switch or NVR (or separate power supply) to get it setup on your network. As far as the cables go, I drilled a one inch hole where I mounted them so I could get all the cabling out of the elements.

I do believe I'm going to go this route. I was just seeing if there were any other comparable NVR's out there in the same price range. I think this is probably the best way to go just for compatibility. Thanks for the reply.

Hi, I just started setting up an ip camera system. I've got three hikvision 2032 bullets so far. I'm looking for a standalone NVR that is compatible with my cameras. Any thoughts on a solid NVR that is reasonably priced. Say around $500 or less?

Well, I bought a camera (Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I) and a POE switch and got the camera running. Looks like to motion record I'm going to need an NAS or NVR. Is there a way to record straight to the computer (Win7) that's running the software? Leaning towards just getting an NVR. Any suggestions on a reasonably priced NVR compatible with this camera? Thanks for any help.

Hi Guys. New here. I've been reading here for a week or so. I need a basic IP POE camera system at my house, specifically for my driveway to start. Had some items stolen from my pickup. I'm still a little confused on exactly what hardware I need. So I need cameras, poe network switch to go to the router and software installed on a computer to view/manage the the video. Is that about it for a basic system to start? I just want to get a couple cameras up and going on the driveway to start, then build up from there. Any suggestions/links to suggested hardware would be appreciated. I would like to get a couple cameras up and running for $500-$1000 if possible. Thanks for any help.
