    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Hi, I am getting an error when I try to make a change to the "Camera Name" in the "Configuration->Image->OSD Settings" screen. When I click "Save", I get a box at the bottom right of the screen saying "Parameter Error". This happens no matter the value that I try to use in "Camera Name"...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    I figured I'd help make this a bit easier... So here is a linux python script which will do all the necessary editing of the mtd6_ro file. Not the best code (I literally just learned python to do this). You basically pass in the name of the target file (it will be overwritten) and the device...

    R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

    Thank you! I just updated 2 devices using your tools and instructions. One of them is a new model not in the list: 1E98 (38942) DS-2CD2132F-IS The other one was 2CD2032-I. Note that I was able to upgrade directly to 5.4.5 (step #3 in your instructions). Actually, I tried going to 5.4.41...

    Is it possible for the camera to overwrite older videos?

    Hi, is it possible to setup the DS-2CD2132F-IS and/or the DS-2CD2032-i to overwrite the older videos when the storage is full? Basically, I'd like the cameras to behave as if they had an endless loop, overwriting the older videos as the storage starts being exhausted. Possible? If not...

    Need help with Camera(s) "formatting" NFS mount

    Thanks folks. I got the NFS working. I found an empty 250GB drive and I am using that for the NFS mount. I created two separate NFS mounts on that same drive, one per camera. Both "formatted" correctly and seem to be recording just fine. We'll see which camera fills up the disk first! lol...

    Need help with Camera(s) "formatting" NFS mount

    Ok, I found a few threads and the sticky thread on the NFS/NAS subject... I think the gist of it is that no one knows how small the filesystem can be nor how much free space is needed in it. Also, people tend to think that 250GB is the upper limit. With that information, I moved to using a...

    Connecting passive microphone to Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IS dome camera audio terminal

    Re: Connecting passive microphone to Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IS dome camera audio termi If you have a black wire on the microphone cord, hook that up to GND. If there's no black, but you have a bare and a jacketed wire, then connect the bare wire to the GND terminal. The other wire goes to the...

    Anyone else need a Hikvision Linux video codec?

    Also, VLC in linux seems to play them at the correct speed; where as mplayer plays them at 2x speed... strange... :-)

    What is running on TCP port 8000?

    Thanks AlastairStevenson! I have been wondering the purpose of that port since I never see anything connect to it.

    Need help with Camera(s) "formatting" NFS mount

    Hi, are you saying that volumes over 200GB won't work? or that volumes under 200GB won't work? Sorry, if I am being thick here. Here is the output of "df" on the camera: # df -kh Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 7.9M 6.5M 1.4M 83% /...

    Unable to download recording, does it require the browser plugin?

    Ok. Thanks for the replies. Yes, I have started using IE from a virtualbox winXP VM and that works indeed.

    Anyone else need a Hikvision Linux video codec?

    I am not sure this helps you, but I am able to playback the recorded files just fine on fedora 21 with mplayer and vlc. mplayer reports the file as being MPEG-PS format and it uses ffmpeg's ffh264 video decoder.

    Unable to download recording, does it require the browser plugin?

    Hi, I am trying to download a recording from the SDCard on the camera (DS-2CD2032F-IS). I can see the recording on the web interface. I select the recording and click on "Download" button, but absolutely nothing happens after that... I am trying this from firefox and also have tried from...

    What is running on TCP port 8000?

    Hi, I can see that the camera web interface allows me to configure the following ports: HTTP Port: 80 RTSP Port: 554 HTTPS Port: 443 Server Port: 8000 What is the "Server port" used for? Is that the starting address for the RTP server? Do I need to open that through the firewall or is that...

    Need help with Camera(s) "formatting" NFS mount

    Hi, I have a DS-2CD2132F-IS and a DS-2CD2032-i camera. Both came with the 5.2.5 firmware pre-installed. I bought these from separate vendors on Amazon. Both cameras seem to be working fine, in terms of live video but I am unable to get either of them to record to NFS mounts. The NFS mounts...
