Beginning with O.S. 3.4.0, camera drivers have the ability to distribute audio to devices running Navigator. Our newly written Hikvision IP camera driver implements this for cameras with microphones. Hi @alanchow does the current driver auto update to this new driver. Is it for both the NVR and IP cameras? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djheijs Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Looks like a new firmware, Firmware_V2.2.76_240204, for KS-KD8003-IME1(B) has been released. Will this firmware be making the B version compatible with the Chowmain driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikvision is still working on their custom firmware for the new revision doorstations. 7 hours ago, ERDrPC said: Would like to know as well? The driver will work for all PTZ cameras for Hikvision regardless of model. Andrew luecke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4Enthusiast Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Hi Alan, I have a 32 channel Luma NVR system that displays all cameras on all my tv’s via C4. I now purchased a new 32 channel Hikvision NVR for another house, and want to have all the cameras on all the tv’s using C4 as at that location. Will this driver still work in allowing C4 remote functionality of the Hikvision NVR, just like the LUMA, or is the driver no longer functioning? I heard there may be now be a problem using other NVR’s to display on tv’s through C4. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikvision did build a custom firmware for models a few years ago that allowed us to provide onscreen navigation of the HDMI output on the NVR. They did discontinue the firmware though so current models are not supported. Having said that it is just the HDMI output navigation that is effected. The driver will still provide integration of attached cameras on all NVRs into Control4 for live view, ptz, smart events and more. Works on all firmwares.

Hikvision is working on firmware so hopefully we should see something soon. Until it is ready please do not utilise Hikvision doorstations in Control4 installations.
