How To Setup Views and Tours Using Amcrest Orion Surveillance Software

How To Create a View

When creating a tour it is highly recommended to create a view first before creating the tour. A view is a collection of cameras/channels shown in a window. This can be a collection of devices from the same DVR/NVR or a collection from different devices in a single view. For efficiency purposes, it is recommended to keep cameras from the same NVR in the same view. Conversely, this is not mandatory and each view can be customized based on your needs.

Step 1: Log into the Amcrest Orion Software and select Monitoring Center.

Note: Views can be customized to a range of a single camera to 64 cameras simultaneously. Please keep in mind the more cameras that are opened the more network resources are being used. Our recommendation is to set a max of 9 camera views or less but in our example, we will use a wide variety to show the flexibility of the feature.

Step 2: Use the PTZ option to rotate the camera to a specific point. Click the Edit (  ) icon and name the tour. Click the checkmark (  ) when finished.

Note: Click the Go icon (  ) to call a preset. The camera will rotate to a related position.

Step 3: Once the presets are created, click the  icon and select the Edit (  )icon.

Step 4: Enter a name for the tour and click the add (  ) icon. Select all applicable presets related to the tour and click OK.

Note: Click the play (  ) icon to run the tour.

Step 5: Navigate to the Resources menu, right click on the device to set a tour duration.

Simple Connection, Flexible Usage: An Overview of the Dahua Wireless Series

On our last article, we’ve featured the recently launched Dahua Wireless Series, particularly the Hero Series where we highlighted its basic functions and advantages. This time, we’ve invited again Ms. Bai Yang, Product Manager at Dahua Technology, to tell us more about the design and inspiration behind this brand new intelligent cameras that enable simple connection and flexible usage.

.

Hello Ms. Bai! Can you describe in details the physical features of the Hero Series?

.

.

Hi! Sure. The Hero Series presents a stylish and concise contour lines that outline its overall rounded shape, and the base of the refreshingly sharp straight line modelling makes the overall look more stable and dynamic. The gold-colored ring-shaped lines serves as an embellishment to the overall simplicity of the product without losing its character. While maintaining the product’s functionality, texture, aesthetics, and longevity, Hero’s design also considers raw material selection and the environmental impact of material processing, production, distribution, usage, and recycling.

It is designed for indoor environments such as supermarkets, retail stores, etc., with focus on simple and easy-to-use remote management and viewing functions. Hero enhances the appearance of the PTZ camera product line and constructs an intelligent capability set with scene adaption. The Hero Series provides an ideal product that can adapt to the needs of customers in various application scenarios.

.

What is the inspiration and story behind the design this product?

.

The inspiration behind the design of this product came from cute little penguins. A little penguin is usually associated with warmth, so we hope to bring users a homey feeling by designing a penguin-like appearance. In terms of product design, Hero adopts soft and rounded lines, which increases the attractiveness and cuteness of the product. Its side profile gives the impression that the small penguin is enthusiastically flapping its wings, which is amusing and innocent. The design of the camera sphere is also different from the traditional hidden sphere, showing the rotation of the sphere more intuitively and allowing users to sense a more genuine contact with the product.

.

What value does it bring to customers and where can it be applied?

.

.

As I mentioned before, the Hero Series is mainly suitable for indoor application scenarios such as supermarkets and retail stores. Its main advantages include ease of use and remote management view. Users can achieve real-time monitoring and management of the store with simple operation, greatly improving the store’s safety and working efficiency.

.

Are there any future plans for the Hero Series?

.

Of course. We will continue to work hard to innovate and upgrade our products to better meet the needs of our users. We plan to develop a plethora of intelligent functions in the future that will assist users in managing their stores more effectively. For example, we plan to include a voice assistant feature that allows users to control and operate their devices using voice commands. Furthermore, we intend to launch DIY-able exterior designs, allowing users to customize the appearance of various styles based on their preference and mood (e.g. rainbow design).

.

Next, let’s talk about the Turret Series. How would you describe it?

.

.

The Turret Series presents a minimalist style, with simple colors, shapes, and clear functions. It appears light, thin, sturdy, and simple but powerful. The main characteristics of this product line are rational and practical, simple and neat, intuitive and simple to understand, as well as elegant and generous. The product emphasizes simplicity and ease of use, and it is primarily applicable to indoor scenes such as supermarkets and retail stores.

.

What are the future plans for this series?

.

The future development will continue focusing on simplicity and ease of use, with a more robust appearance and simpler installation and application. We will continue to delve deeper to adapt intelligent functions to specific application scenarios in order to provide users with a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

.

Let’s move on to the Picoo Series. Can you tell us the inspiration behind its design？

.

.

Sure. The design of this PT camera for outdoor scenes is inspired by the perfect combination of heaven and earth. We wanted to create a unique and personalized product by designing a simple and artistic silhouette. The PT camera’s shape perfectly exemplifies the design concept of “the dome-like heaven embraces the vast earth,” while also demonstrating the complementary aesthetics of being in motion and being static. We used the Dahua PI colors (pearl white and obsidian black) in the color, material, and texture selections, giving the product an excellent texture design. Furthermore, we gave full consideration to ease of use in the human-camera interaction. The unique bracket and hidden wiring harness design injected new vitality into the product.

.

What value does it bring to customers? What application scenarios is it suitable for?

.

The product is primarily applicable to the security monitoring of outdoor scenes such as supermarkets. It offers remote monitoring, sound and light linkage alarm, as well as pre-warning alert to aid evidence collection. This not only raises the user’s security awareness but also addresses the issue of security risks.

.

What is the future direction of its innovative features?

.

We will implement richer intelligent functions in the future to enable users to manage monitoring more simply and intelligently. For example, we will add a zoom function to allow the camera to be used for both close and long-range surveillance. This improves the user’s perception of the surrounding environment and enhances security. Furthermore, we will continue to pay attention to technological advancements, user feedback, and development of more advanced and practical features to provide a better experience and service.

.

Lastly, the Bullet Series. What’s the idea behind its unique design?

.

.

The Bullet Series camera is designed with a time capsule element. Its clean and smooth shape presents a sense of elegance and purity, which corresponds to the public’s pursuit of aesthetics. The Bullet camera is like a time capsule; guarding time with all of its heart and soul. With a soft and fashionable appearance, the product focuses on simplicity and ease of use. It is primarily applicable for outdoor scenes such as supermarkets and retail stores, providing users with comprehensive security protection.

.

What are your future plans for this intelligent camera?

.

The future direction for its functions is more warm, cozy, and solid. We plan to add a variety of designs based on space-time monitoring concept. To improve its design elements, we will concentrate on the shape, indicator light, and other aspects. The product will be loaded with more rich and diverse intelligent functions and higher pixel lens, enabling it to see farther and clearer and be used with greater confidence.

Viewing Station Network Settings

Learn about the required network settings for Verkada viewing stations

This article outlines the required settings that your Verkada viewing stations need to communicate with Verkada Command and to operate properly.

Requirement: Verkada devices are incompatible with LANs that require the use of proxy servers or that require Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) inspection. If either are in use, a bypass for all Verkada devices must be implemented for Verkada devices to communicate with Command.

IP address

Viewing stations need an IPv4 address to communicate to Command through the internet. Viewing stations use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports 67 and 68, to obtain their IP addresses and network configurations—on a wired or wireless internet connection.

If you want to have a specific IP address on your viewing station, set a DHCP reservation using the device’s Media Access Control (MAC) address (found on the device’s label).

Domain Name System

Viewing stations use the Domain Name System (DNS) server to resolve Verkada’s fully qualified domain names (FQDN) to IP addresses to communicate with them. Your DHCP server tells the viewing station where the DNS server is on the network and the viewing station communicates using UDP port 53.

Note: DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is currently not supported.

Firewall settings

Verkada devices require access to many endpoints to have the full-featured experience. Many customers may want to restrict devices to only communicate with the specific required endpoints.

These are the general domains to allow, applicable for all organization-regions:

Region: United States

Note: Your region is selected when you create an organization in Command.

Region: Europe

Note: Your region is selected when you create an organization in Command.

• Enable Low-Latency Streaming—When cameras are fully updated and local to the viewing station, they stream with low latency.

• Copy Existing Viewing Station—Copy live feed configurations and viewing station settings from other viewing stations in your org.

First, you will need to download the application onto your phone and ensure that the DVR is connected to a network. We will focus on obtaining information from the DVR first before we focus on the phone app.

On the DVR, log into the menu, and then navigate to Setup → Network → NAT. Make sure that NAT is enabled (Note: you will not be able to access the cameras if NAT is not enabled).

Once NAT has been enabled, a QR code should appear. But if it does not, do not worry. The QR code can be found in a different section. If the QR code does not appear in NAT, it can be found in Information → QRCODE. If you are unable to scan the QR code for some reason, there will also be a serial number that will show below the QR code that you can input manually in order to connect your cameras to your phone.

Now that the QR code/serial number has been found we can focus on setting up the application. The first screen that you will see when you open the app is the Live View screen. From here, you can add a device by hitting the icon in the upper-right hand corner. This will open up the Server List.

Hit the Plus sign to add your device by either scanning the QR code or manually inputting the serial number that shows beneath the QR code. If you choose the QR code method, tap on the square icon and enable access to the phone’s camera. Then, the only other information that will need to be filled out is the name of the device (can be anything you would like for it to be), the username, and the password of the DVR.

Save the device, and go back to the Live View screen so that we can add your device to the Live View windows. There should be a drop down list underneath the windows that show your online devices. Just select the device, and the cameras should show on your screen.

How to setup my CCTV remote connection for viewing
on smartphones and tablets.

We have put together this guide for setting up a remote connection with our DVR’s so you can view your cameras from potentially anywhere in the world. We can also offer our Remote Setup Service where we can setup the system for you, this utilises port forwarding on your router and has the added ability to view your cameras from a Mac or PC.

We will need to set up the DVR firstly so that it is ready to accept the connection from your devices this can be done by the follow steps:

First and foremost connect the the DVR to your router either by an ethernet cable or, if running an ethernet cable is a problem, using a wireless extender which will allow your router to pick up the DVR or a Home Plug can also be used.

On the DVR click on the “Start” button in the bottom left corner of the screen and then choose “Settings” from the popup menu, if you can not click it or its greyed out login to the DVR and try again.

Then under Network click on the TCP/IP link.

On this page make sure there is a tick in the “Obtain an IPv4 address automatically” box and then click apply to save.

Once done, across the top of the page next go to Port and change the HTTP port and Server port to any 3-5 digit number but they need to be different from each other, then click apply to save.

Across the top again to UPnP and make sure there is a tick in the “Enable” box and that the map type is set to auto and click apply to save.

Across the top again to NAT and make sure there is a tick in the “Enable” box and click apply to save.

Leave this page open on your screen as we will be needing the serial number which you can see under the QR code or the QR code itself later in the guide.

We will now be covering the app side of the connection.

So on your phone or tablet go to your app store, either the Appstore on Apple or Play store on Android and search for an app called “SuperLive Plus”, it should look like the image below and install the app and agree to any permissions it asks for.

When first starting the app it will take you through several tutorial pages which you can either swipe through or tap on skip and you will then be presented with the option of local or start, tap on start.

You will now need to fill in the details for the connection: The serial number (which can be found on the NAT page which should still be displayed on your monitor). A nickname of your choosing the default being “DeviceName1” and Username/Password for the DVR. If you would like to bypass this stage tap on skip in the top right corner which will then take you to the Live page.

From here you can access other features or add multiple DVRs or connections if you have them by doing the following. Tap on the three little lines in the top left to bring up the options menu and choose Server List.

This page will list all of you connection entries, but at the moment there should be none. Tap on the “+” symbol in the top right and choose scan code and then scan the QR code on the DVR monitor screen, the information will be filled out for you for adding a device. You may still need to fill out the device name, user and password for the DVR and tap save.

Once saved it will take you back to the server list page and there should now be one entry. All things being well the little wifi icon on the entry should be a solid and green colour at which point you can tap on the back arrow (top left) to take you out and back to your live camera feeds. If the Wifi icon is a grey/black colour and searching then tap on the pen and paper icon to allow you to edit the information and make sure all information is correct re-typing the password for example is a common culprit as is auto correcting on the user and domain host and save to keep the settings.

After the ANNKE system is linked to the APP account, we can watch camera live view, playback old footage, and receive motion notifications.

Meanwhile, each ANNKE system can only be linked to one account at the same time. This prevents others from accessing the system without permission.

Note: If you are using an ANNKE IP camera (such as model C800/C500/CZ400/CZ500) without an NVR, see this instruction to connect the camera to the APP.

3. Playback videos

Annke Vision – Starting and Stopping Playback on Annke Vision App

The playback function allows us to watch the footage from the system’s hard drive.

Note: If the playback is not fluent enough, we may consider adding the system to ANNKE VISION via IP address. This will only work when the phone is in the same network as the system, but the playback will be much more fluent (and fast forward will be supported).

4. Receive push notifications

Annke Vision – Setting up the Alarm Notification on Annke Vision App

Push notifications refer to the alarm messages received on ANNKE VISION when the camera system catches suspicious motions.

5. Share camera with other users

To share the camera view with families/friends, we have two methods:

1. Parallel sharing. All the users log in to the ANNKE VISION app with the same account. In this case, all users have the same permission to the camera view.

2. Main/Sub account sharing. The main account is the one linked with the system, it can send sharing requests to sub-account and limit the permission for each sub-account (For example, sub-account can only watch live view but not playback). Here is the instruction.
 

6. Manage your APP account

On the ANNKE VISION app, we can also: Check the account details, modify the account password, delete the account permanently. Here is the instruction.

LongPlus Apps FAQ

How to adjust the video time?

The time in the upper left corner of the video (live video, cloud video, and microSD video) is decided on the time zone where the camera is located.

Usually, the time zone of the camera is the same as the time zone of the phone. If the current time is not what you want, you can adjust it by changing the time zone for the camera.

How to change time zone: tap the camera “setting” icon > tap the “>” extension icon > tap “More info” > tap “Time Zone”.

* If you want to change the time from military time (24-hour) to regular Time (12-hour), we are working on it, stay tuned!

* Currently LongPlus does not support the 12-hour system for mobile phone systems, and there will be abnormal recording problems

How to enable motion detection?

After the motion detection feature is enabled, any movements in the camera’s field of view will activate the camera. Next, the camera will record videos of the movements and notify you of the movements (of course, to receive notifications, you also need to enable “Notification” under the “Notification Setting” page.)

To enable the motion detection feature, please tap the camera “setting” icon > tap “Motion Detection” > enable “Motion Detection”.

How to set the motion detection duration?

Please tap the camera “setting” icon > tap “Motion Detection” > tap “Duration” and select the duration you want.

How to enable night vision?

After “Night Vision” is enabled, the camera will be able to “see” clearly in the dark. Particularly, it will offer high-quality nighttime images.

To enable “Night Vision”, please tap the camera “setting” icon > tap “Lighting Setting” > enable “Night Vision”.

There are two night vision modes, infrared mode and white light mode. The difference between the two modes is in the color rendering of the picture. In infrared mode, the picture is in black and white and is clearer while in white light mode, the color of the picture will be restored to the greatest extent.

.

How to adjust the sensitivity of night vision?

The sensitivity of night vision is actually the sensitivity of the ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor senses the brightness of the light available around your camera. When it senses that the light is darker than the threshold, the camera will enter the night vision mode. By adjusting the sensitivity, you can control how easily the camera enters the night vision mode. The higher the sensitivity, the easier the camera enters the night vision mode.

To adjust the sensitivity, please tap the camera “setting” icon > tap “Lighting Setting” > tap “Light sensitivity level”.

How to turn on the white light/spotlight?

Important: Most battery cameras have a white light/spotlight. However, for a few battery cameras, they don’t have a white light/spotlight. Neither do the plug-in cameras.

.

You can tap the camera “setting” icon > tap “Lighting Setting” > enable “Flashlight Alarm”. After that, the white light/spotlight will be flashing for a while once the camera is triggered by any movements. Of course, if there is no “Flashlight Alarm” option under the “Lighting Setting” page, that means that your camera does not support a white light/spotlight.

However, if you want the camera’s white light/spotlight to be on constantly in the dark or at night, you can turn off “Flashlight Alarm” and set “Night Vision Mode” as “White light mode” instead.

How to use AI recognition feature?

This is a paid feature, and you need to purchase the Awareness service to use it.

.

After you purchase the Awareness service, the AI recognition feature is enabled, and the cloud system can be able to recognize people, pets, vehicles, and packages in the video and analyze their actions to send you smart notifications.

These videos will be encrypted and analyzed by an AI algorithm in the cloud server (AWS), and then according to your selection (person/pet/vehicle/package) to decide whether to send you a notification or not. 

The introduction of AI recognition feature

The AI analysis result comes from encrypted AI algorithm analysis. Once you turn on the classification feature, the camera will analyze the video and you will be notified only when the camera recognizes a person, pet, vehicle, or package. The smart notifications depend on which classification(s) you select.

You can quickly filter out all videos of dropped-off/picked-up/delivered packages by only selecting the corresponding tag.

.

How to filter out videos with tags?

Tap Library tab-> Tap the “search” icon on the top left->select any tag you want to see->tap Save on the top right. Then you will be able to see all recordings made with the tag you select.

Note:

1. Currently, once you purchase the Awareness service, it will apply to all the added cameras.

2. This AI recognition will reduce push disturbances and will help you quickly know the movements.

If you want to try the AI recognition feature, please click “No plan” in “User“.

Or you can open Camera Setting to click Notification Setting to tap Buy now.

Also, you can open Camera Setting to click AI Analysis to tap Buy now.

🟠 How to set up the activity zone?

You can tap the camera “setting” icon->tap Activity Zone to add/edit/delete activity zones. To add an activity zone, tap + plus icon on the top right. To edit/delete an activity zone, tap the “setting” icon.

🗒️Notes:

🟠 What will happen if I set the Activity Zone?

What is a package detection feature?

This is a paid feature, and you need to purchase the Awareness service to use it.

.

Package detection is a technology based on the continuous evolution of algorithms and massive data. When the camera watches the package being picked up or put down, it will notify you of a push message. You can check the status of the package in the push message in the notification bar. The detected package is highlighted by a bounding box in your notification.

How to make Package Detection work?

     1.Camera position and distance.

It is recommended to place your camera at a height of about 8 feet( 2.5 meters) and tilt it so that you can see the area where the package is located.

At the same time, the distance between the camera and the package should not exceed 10 feet (3 meters).

After removing the camera for charging or changing the location of the camera, remember to reconfirm whether the package position is accurate.

.

     2.Camera view.

Please make sure that the package is visible in camera view and that it is not blocked by other objects.

At night or in the case of insufficient light, the detection capability is decreased. Please mainly refer to the detection results during the day or under sufficient light conditions.

.

      3.Select package.

Please don’t forget to select the package in the Notification Settings/ Smart Push.

At the same time, frame the area where the package may appear on the video screen in conjunction with the location of the package on the ground to improve the recognition accuracy of the package.

Tips: The minimum detection size of a package is 8x10x1in (20x25x2.5). It may be difficult to detect a package that is less than the minimum size.

.

Why sometimes a package cannot be detected?

Package detection is a technology based on the continuous evolution of algorithms and massive data. Sometimes, the detection rate is low. Please check the following reasons:

If you have any questions, please send us feedback for further assistance.

.

Can the device volume be adjusted?

🟠 Yes, you can tap the camera “setting” icon->tap Sound Setting to enable the siren of the camera, set the voice language and volume for the camera.

How to view the app version?

🟠 To view the app version, please open the app > tap “User” > tap “About us”.

🟠 BTW, if you want to update the app or check whether there is a new version available, you can open the “Google Play” app or the “App Store” app > search for “LongPlus”

Why are notifications delayed?

🟠 There are three steps to receive a motion event notification on your phone.

Usually, all three steps will be completed within a few seconds. However, in some cases, a delay may occur at step 1 or 3.

There may be tens of seconds delay at Step 1. In most cases, this is due to a poor or unstable network connection. Please check and ensure that the Wi-Fi network connection is good and the camera is installed in a place with a strong Wi-Fi signal. Please also select 720p resolution (SD) for video recording to reduce streaming bandwidth.

There may be minutes or even tens of minutes delay at Step 3. Many external factors might cause this delay, such as Apple/Google’s notification server, the phone’s poor or unstable network connection, etc. Most of the time, it can return to normal after a while.

🗒️ Note: For some brands of Android phones, to fix the delay, you must add our App to the battery-saving whitelist in your phone’s Settings. It’s because the battery management of these Android phones will kill all background running apps, causing the apps to fail to receive the notifications from Google(Android) notification server in time.
How to add our App to the battery-saving whitelist: Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps > Our App > Battery > Battery optimization > Don’t optimize.

Why can’t I receive notifications?

🟠 The failure to receive notifications may be caused by the following reasons, please check one by one:

(1) The LongPlus app is not granted “Notifications” permission. When the “Notifications” permission is not allowed, your phone isn’t able to receive any notifications from LongPlus app. Please open the Settings app on your phone > find/search for “LongPlus” > tap “Notifications” and enable it.

(2) The “Motion Detection” feature is not enabled. When “Motion Detection” is disabled, the camera isn’t able to be triggered by any movements, let alone notifications. Please open LongPlus app > tap the camera “setting” icon > tap “Motion Detection” > enable “Motion Detection”.

(3) The “Notification” feature is not enabled. When “Notification” is disabled, the camera is only able to record videos of the movements but isn’t able to send notifications to your phone. Please open LongPlus app > tap the camera “user” icon > tap “Message” > enable “Notification”.

(4) The camera’s Wi-Fi connection or your phone’s network connection is poor or unstable. Please check and ensure that both your camera’s Wi-Fi connection and your phone’s network connection are good for receiving notifications.

Why can’t I receive notifications?

🟠 The failure to receive notifications may be caused by the following reasons, please check one by one:

(1) The LongPlus app is not granted “Notifications” permission. When the “Notifications” permission is not allowed, your phone isn’t able to receive any notifications from LongPlus app. Please open the Settings app on your phone > find/search for “LongPlus” > tap “Notifications” and enable it.

(4) The camera’s Wi-Fi connection or your phone’s network connection is poor or unstable. Please check and ensure that both your camera’s Wi-Fi connection and your phone’s network connection are good for receiving notifications.

Why are notifications delayed after purchasing a plan?

🟠 When you have no plan, there are three steps to receive a motion event notification on your phone.

However, when you purchase a plan, there will be one more step between Step 1 and Step 3. That is: The motion event is been analyzed by the AI algorithms in the cloud to decide whether to send the notification or not. For example, if you select “Person” under the “Notification Setting” page in the app and the camera recognizes a person in the motion event after analysis, it will decide to send the notification, and vice versa. That’s exactly why you may feel a little longer to receive a notification after paying.

If the camera cannot scan the QR code generated by the app, the reasons may be as follows. Please check them one by one.

🟠 Camera is not in scan mode (continuous “ding dong ding dong” sound)

🟠 The camera lens is dirty. Please peel off the plastic protective film first. If your camera’s lens is dirty, clean it. Please avoid leaving fingerprints on the camera lens.

🟠 The camera cannot find the focus of the QR code

🟠 Make sure the phone and camera are aligned, then slowly move the camera back and forth to the QR code on the phone to find focus.

🟠 The distance between the camera and the phone should be 6-12 inches (15-30 cm).

🟠 Please do not scan the QR code in a backlit or dark environment.
.

If the problem persists, please submit feedback on the app for further technical assistance.

What should I do if the camera reports an error after scanning the QR code?

🟠 The camera reports a “Wi-Fi SSID not found” error
The camera only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Please make sure to connect the camera to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
Please make sure the Wi-Fi signal is present and working. You can try to connect Wi-Fi to your phone, if you can get online normally, it means Wi-Fi is working properly.

This error may be caused by the camera being too far away from the Wi-Fi router. Please place the camera near the Wi-Fi router or as close as possible to the Wi-Fi router.
It is recommended that the Wi-Fi SSID (name) does not contain special characters or is too long. If the Wi-Fi SSID (name) contains special characters or is too long, try simplifying the Wi-Fi SSID and try again.

🟠 The camera reports a “Wi-Fi password error” error
Please double check the password you have entered and make sure it is correct. Note special characters such as spaces.
It is recommended that the Wi-Fi password not contain special characters or be too long. If the Wi-Fi password contains special characters or is too long, try simplifying the password and try again.

🟠 The camera reports a “Cloud service connection failed” error
If the camera reports a “cloud service connection failed” error, it means the camera cannot establish a connection with the cloud server.
Please make sure your Wi-Fi router is connected to an available network. You can try to connect Wi-Fi to your phone, if you can get online normally, it means Wi-Fi is working properly.
If yes, but the problem persists, restart the Wi-Fi router and try again.

If the problem persists after restarting the Wi-Fi router, it is likely that the Wi-Fi router is subject to some restrictions. In this case, you can try the following:
Unrestrict the Wi-Fi router: enter the administrator address of the router in the browser address bar (usually the administrator address will be written on the main body of the router) > enter the administrator password to enter the management site > click LAN > click DHCP Servers > Under “DNS and WINS Server Settings” set Server 1 to 8.8.8.8 and Server 2 to 8.8.4.4.

If possible, reset and reconfigure your Wi-Fi router Or try connecting the camera to another Wi-Fi.

🟠 The camera reports an “authentication error” error
This error may be caused by an unsupported authentication method for the router.
Please set the authentication method of the router to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. Please note that the camera only supports the AES encryption algorithm, not the TKIP encryption algorithm.
The error can also be caused by special authentication methods like SMS/Web authentication being enabled.
Please disable any special authentication methods such as SMS/Web authentication.
If possible, try connecting the camera to another Wi-Fi.

🟠 The camera reports a “timed out retrieving IP” error
The error may be caused by the router’s DHCP server not being enabled.
Please enter the administrator address of the router in the browser address bar (usually the administrator address will be written on the main body of the router) > enter the administrator password to enter the management site > click LAN > click DHCP server to make sure the DHCP server is enabled And the IP pool address is set correctly.

The error may also be due to too many devices connected to the router, so the camera cannot obtain an IP address from the router.
Please try restarting the router and try connecting the camera again.
If possible, try connecting the camera to another Wi-Fi.

If the camera does not report anything, or if you are still unable to connect to the camera after trying the listed solutions, please submit feedback on the app for further technical assistance.

Why can’t I find the QR code on the camera body?

🟠 The QR code on the camera body includes the model number and serial number of the camera. It’s usually affixed to the camera’s sticker.
🟠 You can find it behind the camera.
🟠 With some (special) models, you may need to remove the camera’s case to access it.

For other models, there is no QR code on the camera body. In this case, you can directly submit feedback for further technical support.

Why do images/pictures look blurry?

How do I use a Hikvision NVR’s “Virtual Host” feature?

One of the most successful selling points of a Hikvision NVR to many small-setup customers is the “Plug and Play” functionality that simplifies the setup process of their surveillance system. However, plugging a camera directly into a port on the NVR, unfortunately, does not allow you to access the camera via its own internal LAN IP using a browser due to it being on the NVRs internal network, and this can significantly reduce the number of configuration options you have access to.

The NVR does allow you to configure many options for each connected camera, but some essential features are only accessible via connecting to the camera itself (such as audio codec options). This was of course a big problem previously.

With the advent of newer firmware and models of NVR, Hikvision has introduced a feature called Virtual Host. Activating this feature turns your NVR into a “host” for the cameras allowing you to connect to them via a browser. Essentially, the NVR forwards all traffic received from your browser to the appropriate camera you’re trying to connect to, eliminating the biggest problem of plug and play functionality.

How Do I Configure the Camera’s Onscreen Display Text?

All Hikvision users will have seen that when you first log in to a camera the live view will have overlayed text stating the date & time and the default name of the camera “IPcamera 01″, depending on your requirements you may want to change some or all of this overlay text and below is the instruction for how to do that.

Method 1 – In a Web Browser

Log in to the camera and go to Configuration > Image > OSD Settings
.

Below we will take you through each of the above settings and what they do:

Character Set – This lets you select the characters/language the OSD settings use, by default all UK stock will come with this set as GBK for English characters but if you are a European customer and you want to enter special characters from your particular language (e.g. é, ü, ç, etc…) you can switch it to EUC-KR to access those characters (do this will require the camera to reboot).

Display Name / Date / Week – These tick boxes let you show/hide the camera name (Display Name), the current date (Display Date), and the day of the week (Display Week)

Camera Name – This box lets you set the displayed name of the camera, it will also change the name of the camera shown in the System menu and if added to an NVR it will change the name shown in the live view camera list and the Camera Management list.

Time Format – This dropdown lets you select how the time appears in your live view, either 24-hour format (00:00 – 23:00) or 12-hour format (00:00 – 12:00)

Date Format – This dropdown lets you select how the day, month, and year are displayed. Your options are DD/MM/YYYY (UK format), MM/DD/YYYY (US format), and YYYY/MM/DD (Chinese/International Standard format). You also have the option of separating the day, month, and year with either a “–” or a “/“.

Text OverLay – On most cameras, you should have the option to add up to 4 additional text overlays to the live view. You can use all of them or none of them depending on your requirements.

Display Mode – This dropdown lets you choose how the text behaves on screen, by default it will usually be set to Not Transparent & Not Flashing which means the text will obscure objects/people behind it and it will be onscreen all the time. You have the option to change it to one of the following – Transparent & Flashing / Transparent & Not Flashing / Not Transparent & Flashing – When set to transparent the text will become semi-transparent so that you can see objects/people behind the text and if set to flashing the text will flash on & off screen every few seconds (there are no controls for the flashing duration).

OSD Size – Technically this setting should adjust the size of the OSD text but we’ve found that when changing it there was little change to the text and so we would just stick to the default Auto option because this will allow the text size to adapt based on where you are viewing the live image (e.g. whether a small phone screen or a large TV).

Font Color – This dropdown lets you select the colour used by the OSD text, by default the camera will use Black&White Self-adaptive which means the text colour will automatically switch between black & white based on what is behind the text (e.g. if a person walks through the text) and for high-security sites, this can be an important feature for using the footage in court because the adaptive text shows that the image/text has not been manipulated in post. If the scenario requires it you can select Custom which will allow you to pick the text colour from a standard colour table.

Alignment – Again like OSD size this setting doesn’t appear to have a huge impact so we would just leave it as the default Custom and you can adjust the positioning/alignment of the OSD text by dragging the red boxes around the live view window above (these red boxes are only for adjusting the text position and will not appear on the actual live view image).

Method 2 – Via the NVRs GUI

You can access similar OSD settings from the NVR by going to Camera > Display and selecting the camera you want to configure.
.

Although, as you can see from the above screenshot you won’t get all the settings that can be found by logging into the cameras directly.

How do I stop my Hikvision NVR from beeping?

If a Hikvision NVR notices what it deems to be a critical error, or “exception”, it will make a constant beeping sound to draw your attention to this.

These exceptions can occur when:
.

Of course, ignoring these exceptions are not recommended. However, you can disable the beeping while you address whatever the issue is by following the steps below.
.

.

​

Step 1:​

Connect to your NVR in a web browser by using its IP address and logging in.​

​

Step 2:​

Check what the exception that is causing the beeping is in the NVR’s logs. To find these, go to:​

​

Configuration → System → Maintenance → Log​

​

Set the log search so that the “Major Type” is “Exception”, with the start and end time covering a period when the beeping has occurred.​

​

For example, you can see that it is an IP address conflict causing it in this case.​

​

Note – Camera disconnections will not cause the NVR to beep. ​

​

​

.

Step 3:​

Go to:​

​

Configuration → Event → Basic Event → Exception​

​

Find the “exception type” identified in step 2 in the dropdown on this page.​

​

.

Step 4:​

Select the exception shown in your logs from the dropdown.​

​

You will see that “Buzzer” is ticked as a “Normal Linkage” action, which is what is causing the NVR to beep.​

​

.

Step 5:​

Untick this, click “Save”, and the beeping should stop.​
