Help with new Hikvision - QVR Pro

[Disco87]

Morning!

I have the Hikvision DS-2CD2086G2-I and I have managed to get it working with QVR Pro using the ONVIF Profile S.

However I don't have motion detection. I emailed QNAP support who said they currently had no plans to support this camera, why not? I thought the camera list was still being updated no? This camera is part of a whole new range of Hikvision's so are they not going to support any of them?

Does anyone know of a way I can motion events to QVR Pro? It doesn't have to be classified as motion detection on the QVR side, just some sort of event to be triggered by motion on the camera side would suffice. I have seen there are FTP and email options on the camera itself but not sure how to feed these into QVR.

Or does anyone know how I can add my camera to the QVR profile list? I am guessing those profiles are merely text configuration files which state the features, functions and contain a map of the controls/commands for each model.

Thanks in advance!

I'm surprised you don't have motion events, or even Hikvision Smart Events, even for Profile S.
I've added similar Hikvision cameras to QVR Pro previously and seen almost the full set of Hikvision Smart events available to use.
I just tried adding a DS-2CD3386FWDV2-IS as Profile S and motion detection, line crossing detection, intrusion detection and more were all available.

I'm wondering if there are some required services in the camera that are not enabled and need to be.
ONVIF is usually disabled by default, as is Hikvision CGI and others.

Have you actually configured and enabled the motion and other event settings in the camera web GUI?
You do need to do that if the camera is going to generate event notifications even under ONVIF.
It's not down to QVR Pro what detail you want in the camera event configuration - you need to set that up yourself in the camera.

One good way to see what events the camera is generating is to query the camera with ONVIF Device Manager from sourceforge.net
Give ODM some logon details for the camera and you can see lots of info.
Any events the camera generates can be seen on the Events page.

Hi Alastair

Thanks for your time. I installed ONVIF device manager last night, went out in the dark and it didn't trigger any events. Does this mean I have misconfigured something on the camera?

Thanks

[AlastairStevenson]

Yes, it does.
Or maybe not configured or enabled.
You need to use the camera web GUi to enable and configure all the events as you want them to be.
For example, Line Crossing and Intrusion Detection scene configurations depend entirely on what the camera is viewing and what you need to protect.

Hi,
Just wondering if you found the answer to this? I just tried setting up a new hik vision, the default cameras under hikvision wont login so i`m using onvif profiles camera which does connect but i`m not getting any motion/alarm recordings. Camera itself sends out detections to my phone app, but would like to see them show up in QVR.
Thanks

I checked the compatibility list before I purchased my cameras. The additional cameras plugin has lots of others in its database. You can also check to see if another model is compatible and use that. I did that before I got the plugin.

I just installed 2 x DS-2CD2086G2-IU today, they are on the QVR Pro compatibility list.

This is what I did, Use SADPTool from Hikvision to activate cameras and change IP address as default address is 192.168.1.64 mine runs on default gateway of 192.168.0.1, SADPTool allows you to set password for the cameras.
after adding cameras to QVR Pro,
Brand : Hikvision,
Model : DS-2CD2086G2,
did not use ONVIF Profile S (using QVR Pro 1.4)

From camera setting get IP address of camera, launch web browser and type IP address of camera

when logged in click on Configuration/ events/ basic event or smart event, (I use basic event) then click on Motion detection, enable motion detection, enable Dynamic Analysis for motion.

if you click on arming schedule you can specify a time for motion detection. Link method : send email, notify QVR Pro, upload to Memory card /FTP
