    Analog Camera over IP network (Decoder ? Any solutions?)

    I'll check tomorrow and see if it can take an RTSP stream, that would certainly simplify things. I know it doesn't work with IP cameras but don't know about the RTSP stream. I've bought a boatload of Hikvision stuff for another project so I know there is a night and day difference between the...

    Analog Camera over IP network (Decoder ? Any solutions?)

    Fenderman, i'm going to take your suggestion and throw it out there, see if it sticks. TonyR, your solution is definitely viable, I need to find out if the encoder device can handle summer heat in a non temp controlled warehouse but I have a feeling i'm going to be going with this solution...

    Analog Camera over IP network (Decoder ? Any solutions?)

    Fenderman, the Server is a custom build in a SuperMicro case that the Boss-Man bought for $6000 for this camera install about 7 years ago but he will quote it as if it were yesterday. The cameras connect to GeoVision cards with octopus dongles sticking out of the back. So when I say...

    Analog Camera over IP network (Decoder ? Any solutions?)

    Thanks Fenderman, I think that solution will be a tough sell due to the time it would require to setup all the custom alerts, email, accounts with different permissions for all the managers, etc. Plus the cost of the server and software which we'd end up dumping. I tried searching for...

    Analog Camera over IP network (Decoder ? Any solutions?)

    I don't have a dedicated ethernet cable, just a networked connection unfortunately.

    Analog Camera over IP network (Decoder ? Any solutions?)

    At our office we have an existing camera system, 30 cameras...all analog (BNC). There is one camera that was wired during the expansion of the building so it actually runs under a large concrete slab which got cut today. Needless to say, I have no way of getting that camera wired back up. I...

    DS-7732N-E4/16P NVR Bricked - FW 3.3.4 150616 Help !

    Hi Alastair, I did not export the device config unfortunately, I hadn't really used the device at all so there wasn't anything I wanted to save. The serial number DOES contain AARR in it, guess that means its a CN version? I suppose I may just avoid buying and CN versions from now on to avoid...

    DS-7732N-E4/16P NVR Bricked - FW 3.3.4 150616 Help !

    Hi, I have a pair of DS-7732N-E4/16P NVR's and I used SADP to activate them both using two different passwords (I wrote both of them down), after a few days I was able to access one of them, but not the other. After several attempts and several variations of the password (assuming I just wrote...

    Hikvision NVR watchdog or auto-restart function ??

    I believe it still returns a ping on the local network so it wouldn't reboot the NVR but it stops accepting incoming connections from the outside...or atleast that's how it appears because I get a "connection failed" or "not registered in DDNS" error through the Hikvision App on my phone. I was...

    Hikvision NVR watchdog or auto-restart function ??

    Funny you suggested that, I actually have one of those...and they work well, problem is I don't have access to the networks, only to the NVR's. So I wouldn't be able to forward the necessary ports to make that device work, but its a great suggestion for anyone who does need power control over...

    Hikvision NVR watchdog or auto-restart function ??

    I have a few of the Hikvision DS-7600 NVR's and I notice that once in a while they either lock up or get knocked off the ddns for some reason and need to be rebooted / restarted. Is there any kind of watchdog function or a scheduled reboot that can be applied to these boxes?? I need some way...

    Server/Client Based Software Solutions

    Just saw this thread and wanted to ask...why a server/client solution rather than buying a Hikvision NVR for $250 ? I went down this same path and tried to find a server/client type solution and ended up finding that using the NVR was easier for clients. I have since installed 15 of them and...

    Good source to buy IP items at

    Re: Good source to buy Hikvision items at. I'd also like a copy of your catalog, am interested in purchasing a DS-7732NI-SP/16 NVR if you have those available...or perhaps a few cams :)
