Guides for Hikvision NVRs with V5 firmware

How to set up motion detection and alerts on a Hikvision NVR

What is Motion Detection and why is it useful?​

Motion detection is one of the easiest events to set up and will notify you as soon as a person or vehicle enters a predefined detection zone in your scene. Traditionally, it would just rely on lots of pixels changing between frames in your camera’s video stream, which would indicate movement in the scene.

Of course, this would cause lots of alerts for things you are not interested in, such as animals, moving plants and rain. Hikvision’s Acusense cameras and NVRs now have something called Motion Detection 2.0, which cuts the false-positive detections right down as will only notify you when people and/or vehicles are in the scene by learning what they look like. In this simple step-by-step guide, we will show you how to get motion detection set up on the new NVR 5.0 web interface.

Step 1: Go to your NVR’s Motion Detection configuration page…​

Step 2: Configure your Motion Detection zone and rules…​

​

Quick tip…​

If you find that the camera preview is too small when drawing your detection zones, you can switch the view to full screen by clicking on the Full screen (four arrows) button in the toolbar, and then exit full screen by pressing Esc on your keyboard.​

Step 3: Set the arming schedule to specify when you want Motion Detection active…​

​

Quick tip…​

If the 30-minute segments are not precise enough for you, you can finely tune a period of arming or disarming by double-clicking on the segments and specifying your start and end times in minutes using the arrows.​

​

Step 4: Set what you need the NVR to do when a camera detects a target…​

How to connect an IP camera to a Hikvision NVR

Adding cameras to your Network Video Recorder (NVR) is a crucial step in any CCTV setup. Not only does it allow you to store and access all your camera recordings in one place, but it also simplifies camera configuration. In this simple step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to add cameras to a Hikvision NVR using the new NVR 5 web interface.

.

Why add cameras to an NVR?​

.

Before you start…​

Before anything, to be able to add your IP cameras, you need to make sure that:
.

.

How to add your cameras using the V5 GUI…​

Step 1:​

Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your NVR in the address bar. If you are not sure what this is, use the SADP tool to find it.​

Step 2:​

Log in to the NVR using the “admin” username and password you have set on it.​

​

Step 3:​

Go to: Device Access > Device Configuration > PoE Settings​

​

If you are connecting your camera via the Plug-and-Play method, then make sure that Network Camera Plug-and-Play is enabled on the POE port you will be connecting the camera to on this page.​

​

For any camera with a cable run under 100m, leave the Network Cable Distance as Short Distance.​

​

If you are connecting your camera manually by IP address, disable the Network Camera Plug-and-Play option for the channel that you plan to add the camera to.​

Step 4:​

Go to: Device Access > Device > Video Device​

​

For any Plug-and-Play camera, just make sure that it is in its inactive default state and then connect it to the port you reserved in step 3. After 20 seconds or so, the camera Status should turn to Connecting and then Online (you may need to click on Refresh to see this).​

​

For Manually added cameras, if you can see the camera in the List of Online Devices section, then just tick the box for the camera and then click + Add to Device List, which will then automatically add it to one of the channels you disabled Plug-and-Play on in the last step.​

Alternatively…​

Click on +Add at the top of the page and fill out the fields as follows:​

​

IP Address: Enter the IP address of your camera, using the ‘Test’ button to verify there is a camera at that address. ​

Device Name: This can be anything you like, as it is the name the camera will show with on your NVR. ​

Protocol: Select the camera’s manufacturer from this list, or failing that, use the ONVIF protocol (your camera will need to have ONVIF enabled for this to work). ​

Management Port: Enter the Server port set on the camera, which you can find in the SADP tool or in Network>Basic Settings>Port in the camera’s web browser interface. If you haven’t changed this, it is usually 8000 by default. ​

User Name: “admin” or the username of any other users set up on that camera. ​

Password: The password set with that user on the camera – if this is the same as the ‘Default Activation Password‘ you have set on the NVR, then you can tick this box instead. ​

Transfer Protocol: ‘Auto’ is normally best. ​

​

When these are completed, click OK.​

​

Your camera should then appear in the list of devices with an assigned channel, and an Online status, meaning it has been successfully added.​

G:  No Video Display on TV Monitor Or Blank Screen?

My UI Interface shows “No signal” or “Black Screen” ？

We need to divert this issue into two situations:

1.NVR Indicator light is on:

(1) Cause: The camera system’s video output resolution is 1080P. If your TV monitor resolution is below 1080P, this issue will occur.

Steps:

Please right-click and hold your mouse for over 10 seconds to see if the system can reboot or not. Or, please try to connect the system to another TV monitor with a higher resolution (above 1080P)

.

(2) Cause: The hard disk drive inside of the DVR box is broken, and use the screwdriver to open the DVR box to unplug the wires of the hard disk drive, and reboot the DVR to have a try. If the DVR box can be rebooted after unplugging the wires of the hard disk drive(HDD), which means the HDD is having an issue, and needs a replacement, plz contact email love@hiseeu.com for replacement HDD

After steps, if the thing still cann’t be resolved, which means the NVR box is broken, plz contact email love@hiseeu.com for replacement NVR box if their warranty is still 1 year

.

2.NVR Indicator light is off:

(1) Cause: The power adapter 52V 2.5 A connected to the NVR box is broken

Step: Use another power supply 52V 2.5 A to power on the NVR unit to have a try ( If you do not have a spare one, can contact us to buy a new one or we send you a new one if your warranty is still under 1 year )

.

(2) Cause: The hard disk drive inside of the NVR box is broken Step: Use the screwdriver to open the NVR box to unplug the wires of the hard disk drive, and reboot the DVR to have a try. If the NVR box can be rebooted after unplugging the wires of the hard disk drive(HDD), which means the HDD is broken, and needs a HDD replacement, plz contact email love@hiseeu.com for replacement HDD

.

H:Why DVR/NVR can’t record or playback video?

.

If HDD(Hard disk drive) is having issue or something wrong with record setting, the DVR can’t record/playback the video

.

1.Check if the hard drive status is normal or error

Navigate to NVR/DVR Monitor UI Interface: Navigate to “Main Menu–>Advanced–>HDD info”

If status shows “Error” or No hard drive info , which means the hard drive is broken. (need to replace hard dirve)

Lorex Fusion: Frequently Asked Questions

The following frequently asked questions (FAQs) provide more information about your Lorex Fusion Collection. Where applicable, the FAQ includes links to articles where you may find more information.

Lorex Fusion Troubleshooting FAQ.

What is Lorex Fusion?

Our Lorex Fusion recorders incorporate the newest (fusion) technology to connect both Lorex Wired and Fusion Wi-Fi Cameras, Doorbells, Floodlights, and Sensors to one system. Lorex Fusion Wi-Fi Cameras and Accessories can connect to one recorder for continuous 24/7 recording and local, secure storage (up to 10TB). Everything can be accessed from your Lorex App for easy control of all devices.

.

Why do I get an offline message and a blank screen for the (B463AJ) 2K battery doorbell’s channel on the Fusion recorder?

Being a battery-operated doorbell, it will always go to sleep after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life. Once the doorbell is correctly paired to your Fusion recorder, the offline message means the doorbell has gone to sleep but is still connected and can be awakened. When motion is detected, or when the call button is pressed, there will be live video from that channel. You can also manually wake up the doorbell through the Lorex app, by activating the liveview.

.

Can my Battery Video Doorbell record continuously?

To conserve battery life, Wi-Fi Battery Video Doorbells only record when motion is detected. They do not record continuously.

.

Which recorders are part of Fusion?

.

How many Lorex Fusion Wi-Fi Cameras and Accessories can I connect to my Fusion recorder?

Connect the Omni-Directional Antenna to one of the antenna ports on the wireless receiver.

REMINDER: Each antenna port on a dual antenna receiver is associated with specific camera channels. One antenna communicates with odd numbered channels (1, 3, and 5), while the other antenna communicates with even numbered channels (2, 4, and 6). See the table below for dual antenna channel configurations.

If you connect the Omni-Directional Antenna to an antenna port and your wireless signal does not improve, try switching the Omni-Directional Antenna to the other antenna port or pairing your camera to a different camera channel.

Scenario 4: Extend the range of all cameras paired to a dual antenna receiver

To extend the range of all cameras on a dual antenna receiver, connect an Omni-Directional Antenna (ACCANTO8) to each antenna port on the receiver.

IMPORTANT: Two Omni-Directional Antennas are required to accommodate this setup.

Combination 1: Combine two Directional Wireless Panel Antennas

If you are using a Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9) to enhance the signal of a single camera with a single channel receiver, you can use an additional Directional Wireless Panel Antenna to further enhance the wireless signal.

Connect one Directional Wireless Panel Antenna directly to the camera and one Directional Wireless Panel Antenna directly to the wireless receiver. To maximize signal strength, it is recommended to aim the two antennas directly at each other with a clear line-of-sight.

Combination 2: Combine a Directional Wireless Panel Antenna with an Omni-Directional Antenna

If you are using an Omni-Directional Antenna (ACCANTO8) to enhance the signal of multiple cameras, you can further enhance the signal of a specific camera by connecting a Directional Wireless Panel Antenna (ACCANTD9) directly to the camera.

A clear line-of-sight between the Directional Wireless Panel Antenna and the Omni-Directional Antenna is recommended to maximize signal strength.

Security Cameras: Understanding Field of View (FOV)

Field of View (FOV) is the maximum observable area that is seen at any given moment through an optical device such as a camera lens. The coverage of the area can be measured using the horizontal and vertical distances to find the diagonal of the area in degrees. Mathematically, the FOV is calculated using the horizontal dimension of the sensor (h) and the Focal Length (F).

You can find the camera’s Field of View details in the Specifications sheet. Click here for additional support content including security camera documentation.

The Camera Lens, Sensor and Focal Length

Focal length (F) is the distance between the center of a lens and its sensor. The size of the lens is the aperture size.

These factors affect field of view. A narrower focal length captures more of the scene and displays a larger field of view. A wider focal length magnifies a scene and decreases the field of view. The higher the focal length value the lower the FOV.

Types of Camera Lenses

Fixed: a fixed camera focal length provides an Angular FOV which is permanently set and cannot be adjusted by the user. Varifocal: the camera focal length can be manually adjusted by the user. Generally, this is done manually with screws or dials. At Lorex we have motorized varifocal cameras that allow you to digitally zoom using your phone or NVR without losing details. These lenses provide flexibility and customization for your camera image needs.

The importance of Field of View

A wide angle lens or smaller lenses produce a greater field of view and captures more objects in a scene enhancing your ability to cover larger and wider areas such as foyers, parking lots or warehouses.

A narrow angle lens or larger lenses produce a smaller field of view; capturing a limited area, but the camera quality image improves in detail. These are designed to monitor a specific object, such as cash registers, entrances/exits, hallways or objects of value.

How to Calculate the FOV

To calculate the FOV requires the sensor size and the focal length of the lens: h = Sensor Size F = Focal Length of the Lens

FOV is represented by this equation: FOV = 2tan-1(h) / 2F

Example: h = 4.7mm F = 6mm FOV = 2tan-1(h) / 2F = 2tan-1(4.7)(12) = 2tan-1(0.39) = 2(21.4°) = 42.8°
