Grue

I have a couple of questions about using the Hikvision POE NVR with Hikvision POE ip cameras. Hikvision NVR: DS-7608NI-SE/P Hikvision 3mp cameras: DS-2CD2732F-IS, DS-2CD2032-I There are some settings that can be set on both the NVR and the individual cameras. Some things will sync up such as frame rate. Other things will not, such as the motion detection grid and associated linkages. When they are different, it looks like the NVR takes precedence. Does it matter where you change the settings (NVR or camera)? Is there a way to have each camera send e-mails to different places when motion is detected, when they are all connected to the NVR? It looks like the linkage information on the cameras is disregarded when they are controlled by the NVR (via NVR POE port or POE hub). On the DS-2CD2032-I cameras, what settings on the cameras should I adjust to reduce the graininess and "snow" in the night vision/IR mode? My motion sensor goes off constantly at night on a couple of my cameras. During the day, shadows cast by trees blowing in the wind sets them off (I keep the trees themselves out of the motion detection area). Thanks.

I wish I could help you with this because I have similar problems with the same Hikvision NVR. Cameras drop off to "No Link" or "No Resource" and won't come back without a reboot. The iVMS phone app will drop off with Error 43 for no reason that I can discern. The Hikvision ip cameras are unreliable and the NVR is worse. The best bet is to turn off the NVR and any POE hubs, wait 30 seconds, turn them back on, and hope.
