In case anyone is having a similar issue , that is, after a power outage the 'Arming Schedule' for Smart Events resorts back to a 24 hour schedule from whatever it was previously set to (oddly this is the only parameter affected!), I have solved it by creating a Python script on my Raspberry...

Bingo!! That was it! That works well and now I can change the parameters! Thank you.

Thanks for the reply... I believe that I have most of your points already setup: - Virtual Host was already enabled on the NVR - Accessing the NVR with iVMS-4200 (Device Management --> Remote Configuration --> Camera --> Modify) it shows the camera parameters which shows 'Manual' . The...

I have several cameras (all model DS-2CD2342WD-I) behind an NVR (DS-7608NI-E2 / 8P). I am trying to figure out how I can modify some of the settings of the cameras using the API. As an example, I am trying to figure out how I enable or disable the smart events Line Crossing . Using a...

I created this thread back in June... am I the only one having this issue? Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

Here is my setup: My NVR is a DS-7608NI-E2/8P (4TB drive); (firmware: V3.4.92 build 170518). I have 7 cameras all are DS-2CD2342WD-I (firmware: V5.5.0 build 170725) - 6 of the 7 cameras are connected to the POE ports with 192.168.254.x addresses. - The other camera is on my home network and...

I have looked for v3.2.1 and cannot find it either! I guess I will have to try to upgrade from v3.0.8 to v3.3.2!

No I have not done anything yet as I was waiting for the connectors to attach to the NVR's UART. I did receive the pieces but unfortunately my NVR is at my cottage! I plan to bring the NVR home soon to start the process but I am trying to setup a temporary camera system so that I can see what...

Thanks for your post... however I went ahead and bought the power supply suggested by Alistair. The location of the camera lends itself well to using a power supply, so I'm happy with this setup.

I bought this camera sometime ago with the intent to connect it to my Hikvision NVR powered via PoE. However now I want to place it in a location that cannot be powered with the PoE. So I need to buy a 12 VDC power supply. The specs say... Power Supply: | 12 VDC ± 25%, PoE (802.3af Class3)...

I was wondering if those were the ones I needed! Thanks I will order them now.

Alistair... thank you. That is very helpful. Before I try the upgrades, I think that I should have on hand the means to get myself back to square one... so I now I am about to order the pieces... I am looking at this one...

Ok... I have figured out how to set up a NAS drive and copied over the mtdblock2. mtdblock0, and mtdblock1 files, to the NAS, from my NVR (DS-7632N-E2/8p NVR - FW v.3.0.8, build 140825). I now am considering trying to upgrade the firmware... here is what I know so far: - NVR has AARR in serial...

Ok I got it working... I first went on to the configuration of one of my cameras and was able to set up the NAS as a drive! So I knew that my NAS set up was actually working. So I went back to the NVR config to try again. I manually entered the ip address of the Raspberry (192.168.254.33)...
