    Hikvision DS-2CD2332-I cameras not responding

    I have had several Hikvision 2CD2332-I cameras that were installed in our previous home for a couple years and always worked fine. I moved to a new home in December and stuck two of the cameras up (using the same POE router) and had them up and running just fine for a couple months. All of a...

    Issues with Hikvision 2332-i retaining settings

    So, I tried using new credentials in the iVMS software to log into the cameras and it did a FANTASTIC job of retaining the settings. hat aspect worked great. BUT -- it wouldn't record a single thing. It was as if the revised credentials didn't have access to the feed or something (even though I...

    Issues with Hikvision 2332-i retaining settings

    I have had continued problems getting my cameras to retain some settings/changes I make. As an example, I tried to change the "Camera Name" within the OSD settings. I'd change (fix) the name, save it, and verify on the Live View that it was correct. Sometimes it would take a few minutes and...

    Light camera stream viewer (for PC)

    Camera stream viewer (for PC) I have 4 Hikvision cameras and have a dedicated PC running the Hikvision iVMS NVR software. I've been using the VLC media player to view the cameras one at a time from my laptop, but am looking for a light-weight stream viewing software that I can use to view 3 or...

    Help setting up DDNS/VPN behind a Verizon FiOS modem

    1) I successfully created a DDNS for my Router. 2) There are two options for VPN on the ASUS: "PPTP" and "OpenVPN". I created a PPTP account. Now that I've gotten this far, is there a "using a VPN for dummies" thread? LOL I have three devices that I'd like to view three cameras on: iPad...

    Help setting up DDNS/VPN behind a Verizon FiOS modem

    So, I did some web crawling and came across this article describing how to turn the Actiontec modem into a bridge. It was a very intimidating read. What was EXTREMELY valuable was the third comment below the article. Use the RJ-45 coming off the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) instead of the...

    Help setting up DDNS/VPN behind a Verizon FiOS modem

    I have (4) Hikvision cameras (all four are model DS-2CD2332-I) installed and am using the iVMS software to record two cameras 24/7 and one camera to record (and e-mail photos) using the intrusion detection feature. I still haven't figured out why the "pre-record" doesn't work, but figuring...

    Embed login credentials within URL (Hikvision Camera)

    Bingo. This link ("C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" rtsp://login:password@192.168.1.33/) works like a champ. Incidentally, you can also use, ("C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" rtsp://login:password@192.168.1.33:554/Streaming/Channels/2) to view the substream. I prefer...

    Embed login credentials within URL (Hikvision Camera)

    Thanks for the info. I gave it a shot, but no dice. I currently have my PC connected directly to one of the non powered ports on my POE switch - there is nothing else between my PC and the cameras. 1) I can log into the camera using firefox and view the live feed by going to the cameras IP...

    Embed login credentials within URL (Hikvision Camera)

    I now have (4) Hikvision cameras on my network, one of them aimed at the Front Porch as a "delivery" and/or "visitor" cam. I work from a home office and would like to have a shortcut on my computer desktop that I can quickly click that will open my browser, log me into the camera and show me...

    Issues with Hikvision 2332-i retaining settings

    I just experienced this last night (with two different 2332-i cameras) at two different times. The first time, the "motion detection" on the camera in my kids bedroom had been turned on (it has been off for the past week). My kids got home from school and ran into their room and I started...

    Where does motion detection live (Hikvision camera VS iVMS-4200 software)

    I recently installed two Hikvision DS-2CD2332-I cameras (firmware: V5.2.3 build 141024) and the iVMS-4200 software (v1.03.06.02) on my PC. After spending more time than I'd like to admit, I finally have everything set-up and am able to record based on motion detection triggers (as I wanted)...

    Questions for New BI4 Install w/ Hikvision DS-2CD2332 Cameras?

    Hey, Jettubby. I am also new here and most (if not all) of the members here know WAY more than I do. Here is a (link) to a website that you can use to calculate bandwidth and storage. Running the (2) cameras full-bore at 12FPS, you can store ~18 hours of video on your 500GB drive (at the full...

    Recommendation for Wireless router / Bridge

    Thank you all for the tremendous insight. While I'm intrigued by the simplicity of the Powerline solution (link), my fear is the amount of signal/throughput degradation I'll experience in my application. I have 200a service coming into my main panel with a 100a breaker feeding a sub-panel...

    Recommendation for Wireless router / Bridge

    Thank you both for your feedback. I did know that only the bridge needs to support bridge mode and the bridge only needs to support a single port (as I will need to back up the bridge with a POE router). I just didn't think that the small single port bridges (like the one in the link that you...
