For those finding this from Google, you can also try "SoftAP_ABCDEF" instead of all lowercase softap_ may get you in on different firmware.

I just took mine off, can confirm they are Torx T6 screws (not T6S)

So today I was also able to get my chime working, my steps were similar but slightly different, so posting here for completeness... Hardware: Hik-Vision DS-HD1 Prior Firmware: Hikvision 200321 Previously configured via BCT only and placed on restrictive IOT VLAN. Was unable to configure via any...

Sounds great. My problem is the lack of the initial outgoing call, which appears to be driven by the need to set it up w/ a specific app.

Had you set up the doorbell with one of the mobile apps or with BCT? If mobile, which mobile app did you use?

I can confirm... found the same thing (Hikvision HW/FW), my doorbell is not sending packets on press either, and it is NOT activated for the cloud service. So either we need to activate the service (and then potentially block it via firewall?) or hope for a more mod-able firmware that will...

So if you know the DNS name that is being called, then you have 2 additional options to actually intercept the call.. 1- In your DNS server setup, create a manual entry for that DNS address that points to a server on your local subnet which overrides the external DNS forward. OR in your...

My Hikvision hardware has the same chime issue with the Hikvision firmware. (Though it is possible my chime issue is different from others)

Yes, I'm running 10G across Cat5e from one end of the house to the other with no issues. And if the run can't support 10g, then you can downgrade it to 5g which apparently can support longer distances. But in my experience thus far, Cat 5e is doing just fine if it is what you already have in...

For 10 Gbps switches, highly recommend the MS510TX. It's got 2 10G ports plus several 5/2.5 so lots of options, and excellent management, including per-port bandwidth use over SNMP that I can stream to Zabbix and monitor what devices are using what ... which is great. Only $250 which is way...

I'm having the same problem with the chime, but exacerbated by a setup issue... I originally set up the device using only BCT, and after a few bumps it works except the indoor chime. So I spent 3 hours today resetting the device and trying to configure it with either of the EZVIEW, HikVision...

OK, looks like the issue was the ICMP firewall issue discussed on the 101 page. Enabled a rule for that and the disconnects appear to have stopped immediately.

BTW, the UDP packet it's trying to beam out is not video, it's sending the device serial # in an xml output.: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Request> <DevSerial>E277xxxxx</DevSerial> </Request>

OK, so have learned a few more things... 1- Connecting via VLC had the stream stop every 3 minutes 2- I took a closer look at the router syslog entries, and while my QVR client wasn't reporting the camera disconnecting, it clearly is... "Disassociated because sending station is leaving (or has...

It's got WPA-"Auto" and WPA2-only modes, so I should have said WPA/WPA2 mode since essentially that's what "Auto" is, and that's what the main IOT subnet uses. Copy on the VLC.
