reeves1985 0 Posted March 1, 2014 just received a couple of these hikvision ds-2cd2032-i to have a play with after the mainly positive reviews I have seen. they are the Chinese firmware version. I seem to be having an issue with recording and not sure if it is just me missing something in local configuration I select where I want the recorded files and downloaded files to go pop back into live view and hit record. it says it is recording but it doesn't actually seem to record anything there is nothing in the location set and also the playback search cant find any files is there a specific way in which you have to set this up also I have noticed if I attatch a usb stick I get an error "failed to create file" any help greatly received Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milkisbad 0 Posted March 1, 2014 If you have Windows 7, turn your UAC setting to Never, then restart your computer and it should work. I think its a common problem with Windows instead of Hikvision...i had the same issue with multiple brands of systems. Control panel->User Account->change user account control setting->set to Never notify. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reeves1985 0 Posted March 1, 2014 cheers buddy will give it a shot in the morning hopefully that's all that is needed as it was only a quick plug in and test camera job to make sure the cameras worked I thought it was me not doing something correctly and was driving me nuts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reeves1985 0 Posted March 1, 2014 Did you try the method mentioned? I haven't tried it yet but was hoping it would work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted March 1, 2014 I have the same issue with IE but works like a charm in Firefox. buellwinkle, With IE most issues related to permissions are solved by running IE as an admin. Look for the IE shortcut on the menu, right click on it, "Run as administrator", and try again. Without being an admin, IE has some limited rights for writing to almost anywhere on the hard drive outside of the user folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's how it is supposed to be. The "playback" section on the web interface is for playing back recording on a NVR, NAS, etc. Not for playing back recordings you have done manually on your computer (which your camera can not even access, or know that exist). If you want to playback those files, just go to the folder where you store your recordings, and double click. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
