    Bricked ds-2cd2432f-iw, please help

    Why isn't my camera showing after adding to the ivms-4200 client?

    [Resolved] Recently all 4 of my outdoor camera had a IP reset, to a different segment than my home network gateway. Of course they are all offline from my monitor. Now, at the same time, I upgrade my PC and now it is Windows 10. I use SADP to modify all IPs back to match the gateway. Using...

    After construction, 1 of the 4 cams stopped connecting externally

    The IP addresses did not change. Only the forwarded ports changed.

    Update: I unplugged the power, all 4 Ethernet cables from the switch, rotated them so each got a different port, plugged power back in. Now it worked.

    I have 4 DS-2CD2232 outdoor cameras. They are connected via Ethernet cable through PoE switch. They worked fine for a year until last week, my AC broke so the workers unplugged the switch so they could get around to do the work near by. After the work was done, I plugged the switch back to...

    Someone in the house kept knocking the cam off the table. This time it stopped to turn on when plugged in. Does anyone know if it's fixable?

    Forwarded port switched to a different camera :(

    I have 4 outdoor cameras, all wired. Recently camera #4 would show up as the same as #1 on iVMS-4200 client just within an hour after I updated the port, I lost the image of the camera #4 and have duplicates of camera #1. How can I prevent this from happening?

    One of my wireless cameras keeps changing its IP address, what to do?

    I keep losing the video on this camera. The next thing I see is at the device list on iVMS-4200, the one added to the client is not connect, and there's a new one detected at the bottom. When I add the new one, it's usually problematic. Any idea how I can make it not change?

    What happened to my gmail notifications?

    It is resolved. Nothing was changed, I just updated the ivms-4200 from version 2.4 to 2.5. I received email afterwards. I am not sure if that's what fixed it. I don't like unknowns. Hikvision provides next to nothing support, but the cameras are of good quality.

    What happened to my gmail notifications?

    There are only 2 options under email encryption: close/SSL. Also, it can take both SSL/TLS.

    What happened to my gmail notifications?

    I have this email alert set up for a few months and worked just fine. All of a sudden about 2 weeks ago, I stopped receiving emails. I went into the configuration, and saw that everything was there where it was supposed to be configured. I retyped over the gmail smtp configuration and hit...
