    Firmware 5.4.x working with HikVision on bugs

    Yes. Direct from cam. Don't change email settings in any way - just switch the camera to dhcp and they spring into life. I don't use the wireless adapter at all, just Poe cable for the network. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Firmware 5.4.x working with HikVision on bugs

    Yes. There is a whole thread on it on here. Even hardcoded IP addresses of severs to make sure DNS isn't failing.... and remember it all worked fine before the upgrade - then stopped working. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Firmware 5.4.x working with HikVision on bugs

    I have an issue with two r6 ptz wifi cams. Worked fine with the 5.3.6 (I think it was what they came with). Upgrade to 5.4 gives a weird issue where email notifications only get sent if I use dhcp on the LAN Ethernet interface. As soon as I switch to static - even if I enter the exact same...

    No emails from camera after 5.4.0 upgrade. Works partially from NVR (not Gmail)

    Thanks. Yes good idea and will get it a fixed IP for the one I have at home. However for the office, the cameras are in a sequential static block with the dhcp reserved for the employee laptops and no permenant bind just long term lease. I am sure i can work around it - just odd that static IP...

    No emails from camera after 5.4.0 upgrade. Works partially from NVR (not Gmail)

    Further to this - it all works fine if I set the camera to dhcp on the lan Ethernet connection in the 5.4 firmware and reboot. Even if I set to static and keep all the other discovered gateway and DNS the same and only change the IP address it all stops working again. Even if I choose the...

    No emails from camera after 5.4.0 upgrade. Works partially from NVR (not Gmail)

    "Will try resolving ntp server to IP myself tomorrow and then enter the IP directly - this should prove DNS issue or not." So - entered one of the ip addresses returned from the uk.pool.ntp.org lookup - still same issue: So either it is still trying to DNS lookup the IP entered and fails (...

    No emails from camera after 5.4.0 upgrade. Works partially from NVR (not Gmail)

    Yes - it works on my two DS-2CD2332-I - as per my post above - even ntp and email work which are failing on the cameras we are discussing.( maybe DNS issue). Obviously get the correct rX file - can't remember off the top of my head which one it was for the 2xx2.

    No emails from camera after 5.4.0 upgrade. Works partially from NVR (not Gmail)

    Thanks. It does seem like dns. However it is specific to these cameras and the 5.4 firmware. It's not just ntp it's also emails. The exact same settings work on 5.4 firmware on the older non wifi cameras I have. I have tried the NTP you mention and also lots of variations of the pool.ntp.org...

    No emails from camera after 5.4.0 upgrade. Works partially from NVR (not Gmail)

    Hi, I have the same cameras as you list (both of them) - they have this problem with sending email and also connecting to use NTP time. It worked with the 5.3 firmware, but upgrade to 5.4 in order to get the TLS update for sending email through gmail they no longer work. I have exhausted all...
