    Empire Tech Camera Factory resetting itself

    Is that inbound access (by port forwarding or UPnP) or outbound only, such as for an NTP server?

    PROBLEM ADD REMOTE IPCAMERA TO NVR

    What ports do you have open? Port 8000 is the default command&control port, 554 for RTSP, 80 for web GUI etc Worth noting though that this will expose the NVR to the entire internet, with a chance it, and your network, will be hacked and compromised. Definitely not advised.

    Help resetting nvr with limited information

    What version of firmware did SADP show was on the NVR? Some of the old Hikvision devices also used 123456789abc as a default password - prior to them having the active/inactive method after a reset to defaults.

    Need a outside camera that will not fail.

    You described the problem as : Then you say : It's well known - as highlighted by @TonyR - that WiFi connectivity for CCTV cameras can be inconsistent and troublesome. It was a helpful post. Suggestion : To confirm it's not the WiFi - it might be interesting to take down one of the cameras...

    Annke Firmware to Hikvision Firmware: HOW TO

    'tftp timeout' means the camera can't communicate with the tftp server. What tftp server are you using? What IP address is the PC using that the tftp server is running on? (should be 192.168.1.128) Is the PC firewall (presumably Windows built-in) allowing inbound access to the tftp server...

    As did I. 24 hours isn't that long to wait for a reply - we all have other activities we need to pursue.

    Mystery DVR video file... need a player

    If it's suitable for attaching here (it's a public forum) maybe some members could figure it out. The filename isn't much to go on.

    How can I access my Hikvision NVR's HDD?

    Worth trying also before any physical removal of the HDD are the 'Rebuild' tabs in the NVR web GUI under 'Storage | Storage management | HDD Management tab' These can sometime bring all those missing recordings back after a maintenance activity has impacted them.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-IU post_app_hook No Driver Found

    It might be interesting to see if those repeating IFE errors stop if the network cable is removed.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-IU post_app_hook No Driver Found

    Presumably in an inside test environment - leave a connection to the serial console running, and inspect any entries preceding a random reboot, there might be a reason shown. I'm guessing these were bought as 'spares and repairs' on eBay. There have been a few on sale with the same faults described.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-IU post_app_hook No Driver Found

    I think, but I'm not certain, that the bootloader manages the ethernet connection itself, as opposed to the kernel after its loaded and running. A bit of a long shot, but a suggestion to try : Keep Control-U pressed till it autorepeats, power on the camera, so that the bootloader is...

    Did you change the new modem base IP address to match what the replaced modern was using?

    Unplugged NVR and now no cameras!!!! please help

    Are there any devices that were assigned with a fixed IP address that can be found with a discovery tool (such as SADP) to reveal their address and therefore what the gateway address (ie previous modem address) should be set to on the new modem?
