Blunt force solution: 1. Created dummy cameras for all the unused channels 2. Deleted (only) the channel I wanted the fisheye camera on 3. Added the fisheye camera via manual add ..and voila. No available channels to auto-add all the "extra" virtual cameras, so it only added the one I wanted...

Updating to a newer 16 channel "VIP Vision" NVR (rebadged dahua, I think). Everything's fine until a Hikvision 12MP fisheye: ONVIF works, but it keeps auto-adding 3 additional virtual channels as well, instead of just the single main fisheye stream I want. I can't see any way to disable the...

Did you ever get a solution to this issue? I bought my camera from a bricks-and-mortar store (camera model VIP Vision model E96_VSIPC-8DIRG2, firmware V2.820.101B001.0.R, Build Date: 2021-07-23), so I'm hoping it's not a Chinese firmware issue. Only a couple of the various cameras I have are...

Camera: DS-2CD2332-I Firmware: V5.2.0 build 140721 It seems that in the old IE browser, the login process has a javascript bug, so I can't login (name and password is correct, just the login button never triggers). But if I use a more modern browser (Chrome/Edge) the login javascript works...

Appreciate for all the detailed replies - thank you. I noticed while bench testing the 940's that they didn't appear to light up the nearby area very much, but I didn't have some 850s nearby to compare with (also it wasn't night time - just pulled the shades in the shed). I might also think...

in short - My question is whether anyone has any experience or even just ideas on the best way to mount a lot of fiddly little LEDs. Right now I have a kind of writer's block on how to put this together from a DIY perspective. As background / explanation - I've tried the IR lights in my...

Does HA transcode for your Chrome viewing to work? I was hoping to stream straight from the NVR to browsers on a few devices around the home using a basic web page, but I can't find an NVR URL that streams using just HTML5. Sounds like you're pulling streams directly from the cameras.

I did try that tool, but didn't have much luck getting a working stream to begin with. I think it uses a separate set of user credentials, from memory. I'll try again with a bit more patience. I'm not averse to trying these kinds of steps. Reverse engineering is a great read. While I'm...

Putting together the following NVR and cameras - 1 x DS-7804N-K1/4P NVR running v3.4.90 (English, hacked) firmware. 3 x DS-2CD3345F-I cameras running v5.5.12 (Chinese) firmware. Language Mismatch (solved) Tried Hikvision and ONVIF protocols, but they show language mismatch. Bit surprised at...

I was pondering something slightly similar to CrazyFin, but probably just as low a priority -- for the app to go very low CPU/fps activity when minimised. Similar to when lost focus, it would essentially give the BI server less load when it isn't actually showing content to the viewer...

A log of a cat is available? Please send! PS: Not all milk is bad, surely? :)

Not sure where the java app is getting the list of camera names from? All I am seeing in the Camera Layout list are two cameras in a group called "back". Running BI v4.5.2.3 x64 on Win7 with Java app v2.7. Cleared the folder of all but the .jar file to reset it, but problem persisted...

Restored another revision. Can the sheet be locked down to at least "logged in users" ? The anonymous edits were the culprits this time...

I find all cameras in one folder to be convenient - all footage is in the one location, limited only by disk size. I tried setting up a cascading folder structure based on now+X days where X was a different range for about 5 folders, but it just became disorderly. In the end I just set larger...

Multiple cameras. Some not as obvious as the Hikvision turrets.
