yes run a reset and still seems as if noise on picture sort of looks as if its moving / crawling even though nothing on lens only happening when full IR is needed say between 12:30am -4:am think its send back to china job

heres a pic that grabbed, prior to a few weeks ago there was no noise as such on the picture all the IR look lit but to me do seem a little duller

hi all, ive got a DS-2CD2132-I had it for approx a year and all has been running fine up until a week or so ago when its in IR mode at night its as if the picture has noise on it going to post a pic tmrw but its a noticeable difference to how it was im not sure if the IR looks as bright also, but is there anything i can check or try before trying to send back to supplier in china ? cheers mm

Thanks very much MaxIcon, i do have a i3 pc i culd run it on also so might try both, any idea which version i need on milestone seems to be a fair few versions thanks mm

anyone got any ideas or suggestions on above ^^ thanks

bit of a bump people but hope you can help, i have 2 x hikvision cameras and although i can get them setup and view in ivms im struggling with setup to get them to use my server and storage etc ( only home user here so be gentle) and way i decided t download blue iris and setup and motion detect seemed very easy and much more user friendly. guess my questions are any idiots guides for setting up ivms ? is blue iris lacking in anything over ivms apart from heavy resources? anything else i should check out and try? im using a hp n54l with ws2012essentials 8gb ram and 4tb WD PURPLE for my setup running on tplink gigabit switch with poe for cameras tia mobileman

sounds like it could be the cable, quick way to check would be swap one of the working cameras with faulty one, if faulty camera works on the other cameras cable then you need to replace the cable if it doesnt work then try working camera on faulty cable and rule out cable and replace camera

just got my camera and took a little while to get basic setup now im working on the rest, i used SADP on the disk or can download to configure the camera to correct ip address range for me was 192.168.0.1 as the camera was preset to a different range. then when i viewed via the web browser or the ims-4200 software which also installed managed to view and also record and capture images no problem at all. It will be the camera config thats stopping you viewing at moment

I believe you have a Chinese factory version camera that the supplier put hacked files on so it would show in English. The CH part in your serial indicates the Chinese factory version. my camera has just arrived from the aliexpress seller mentioned in a few threads, ch serial number but has multilanguage when logging in via web browser and date and time are in english, so guess they have hacked or flashed as CBX mentioned. i would also think then that i dont want to flash pr update when a new release lands as it would revert back to chinese ?

evening all, from Newcastle in good old NE of England and its bloody soaking today just found this place as looking to setup my own cctv at home using my n54l which is running Ws 2012 essentials been looking around at cameras and came a across the Hikvision range so hoping thats fine for WS2012E will have a good look around and try not to ask any noob questions without using the gold old search function first go by this name on a few other forums so who knows i might not be a stranger to some of you
