Hi Andrew, thank you very much for the video, it is probably the best introduction to the world of HIKVision I have found on the net! What I'm missing, however, is an explanation of how to connect a standalone camera (i.e. without a VCR) via the Hik-Connect app over the Internet (i.e. while travelling and not via WLAN in your own network). I think this will probably require the DDNS configuration, which is unfortunately not mentioned in this video. It would be great if you could create a guide for this! Thank you very much and please keep up the good work!
OMGosh, I'm so sorry that I've only just seen this now. I was replying to another gentleman and I saw your comment - and my LACK of reply I'm sorry!!! You can indeed connect a single camera to Hik-Connect no problem at. Can I ask what model camera it is please ? I would be very happy to help you and my apologies again for the crazy long delay.
Don't worry about it! But as you can imagine, I was able to solve all the problems with the connection of my DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL myself for the time being ;-) Thanks for your feedback anyway
Hi Ishan thank you very much. I have about 30 more videos to make but we honestly do this job for real, so finding time to make videos is actually quite hard but we'll get there😀👍
Thank you so much🥳 It's a bit long but I'm working now on making new, better, and SHORTER videos 😂 Sitting here working on it right now actually....stay tuned🙏
Hi @gamsports9354 it's been a long year building our business and the next HUGE thing for us to do more 'How To' videos !!!! I'm genuinely working on creating our list of up-and-coming videos today (really !!) so they start appearing again hopefully next week 😁👍
Thank you Mick🙏🙂 A bit long winded and missed a few details but I'm learning to make quicker videos with better advice and information. Hoping to make this channel a really awesome repository for everything to do with electronic security. The next few years are going to be mind blowing with what's coming!
1/ Why won't you check Human checkbox in Basic Event -> Motion Detection? 2/ Does Basic Event -> Motion Detection need to be checked for Smart Event's Line Crossing/Intrusion detection to work? Or they can just work separately? 3/ How reliable is the acusense camera? My DS-2CD2347G2-LSU/SL with lastest firmware doesn't seem to be very reliable even when sensitivity/ect... set lower/higher. Thanks
Hi Thomas, thank you so much!!! I have decades of IT and technical experience, but I still have my UA-cam video making training wheels on. I need to pedal faster 😅!!! I will start the P2P / Platform Access video today and will hopefully upload it in the next 24 hours. I really appreciate the prompt, thank you very much🙏🙏🙏
Hi Roman, yes almost all Hikvision cameras work on the HiLook NVRs. But not all features will work on the HiLook NVRs....yet!! The most prominent feature is LiveGuard and the ability to arm and disarm AcuSense and ColorVu via Hik-Connect. I don't know when, or if, that will ever be possible as the products develop.
Hi Seal, thank you....and you are 100% correct !! I need to edit this video and add in the max and min explaination but especially add in how to set up LiveGuard properly !!!!!!! Maybe a whole new video would be easier 😂 I've been a tech for many years but a novice at videos and UA-cam🤦♂Getting there slowly, thank you.
@@andrewbradley6903 you should try no wdr .. adjust contrast down a bit (40) and change exposure to 1/50 - then compare your settings at night to what i just suggested. no 265+ only 265. watch the diffence in motion blur
@@Corkhead75 Hi and thank you very much, I really appreciate the suggestion😁 I love these ideas and suggestions....it's interesting how different settings can alter the result so much. That's something I've never tried, but I'm definitley 100% going to now !!! Thanks again🙏🙏🙏
ive got two of these acusense cameras on my dvr, the tech guys that set it up set them up as analog..with loadshedding here in South africa, I am trying to keep my cctv on or just one of these that face the road...how can I change this one to connect to network like an ip camera? The wires etc are all in the roof - would I need to go in there (sigh) or can it be done another way.

@@andrewbradley6903 some of us need it long winded so don't worry and you won't cover all settings in that time, keep em coming 👍

You mentioned a new video dedicated to platform access. Is this video online?

Thank You, very helpfull!
Hi Chris, thank you very much🙏 I'm new to making videos and left somethings out but I'll get better as I go😁
