    Questions about Hikvision G3 & G5 platforms

    First question I have is about the DS-2CD23X7G2. Can the ones without the strobe light (LU) be set to activate the light when motion is detected. I heard that some firmware versions had the feature but not sure about the latest one. I'd like to know for both the G3 and G5. Second question I...

    First time installing CCTV...Have some questions.

    Would adjustable nylon cable glands make a good seal with flexible plastic conduit?

    First time installing CCTV...Have some questions.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174114763213 Weatherproof Compound 2 x 250g I think these would work but I already have silicone sealant so I might as well use that, or I could use both. How strong is the adhesive on silicone sealant usually? If I wanted to remove it would it detach from the wall...

    First time installing CCTV...Have some questions.

    So if i went with flexible non metallic conduit would I need to ground anything? I'm going to waterproof the rj45 with the included waterproof cover, dielectric grease and self amalgamating tape. What about the unused connectors? should I use self amalgamating tape on them too? As for the...

    First time installing CCTV...Have some questions.

    So I'm about to install CCTV for the first time and I have a few questions. I've got some flexible steel conduit which is coated in pvc. I'm planning on connecting this to a plastic junction box with nylon glands. I will connect two to three camera's through this junction box. I'm using...

    RJ45 corroding/oxidising after crimping

    It was plugged into a pc and router for 1 minute just to test. After that it's just been sitting indoors away from humidity/water. Maybe the gold plating is very thin and was damaged by the crimper.

    RJ45 corroding/oxidising after crimping

    I have dielectric grease which i will use when I install the cams but what about the other side that goes to the NVR. That doesn't need grease right? I was just confused as to why it was oxidising just sat indoors for a few days. I've noticed that it's gone even worse now but it still works fine...

    RJ45 corroding/oxidising after crimping

    A couple weeks ago I made my first ethernet cable. All seemed fine till I had a look at the connectors about a week later and noticed that something didn't look right. The gold plated pins didn't look like they originally did. The pictures below show a random pre-made cable I had lying around...

    How to reset password on Hikvision NVR?

    I have received the NVR and I'm try to reset the password. I have Python but I've never really used it and don't understand the tutorial properly. How do I know if the NVR still probes for the tftp updater? When I turn it on it just goes straight to the login screen and I can right click for...

    How to reset password on Hikvision NVR?

    Yes, I changed it to 1 and it works now but I can't go above 1080p without lag. I'm using a powerline adaptor right now so I'll try it directly again later. I noticed that when I installed the chrome plugin the quality went much better. Maybe it defaulted to main stream when I installed it. I...

    How to reset password on Hikvision NVR?

    The live and recorded footage from my DS-2CD2387G2 LSU/SL looks very bad/pixelated. I have tried messing with all the different video settings but nothing makes a difference. I have it set on main stream but when I go to live view it's on sub stream 640x480 and I can't change it. It looks more...

    How to reset password on Hikvision NVR?

    Oh yh I completely forgot that I could use the 12v port. Do I just connect a 12v adaptor to the camera and the ethernet to my router?

    How to reset password on Hikvision NVR?

    Yes, I purchased a 16 channel one 2 weeks ago but it hasn't arrived yet. I messaged him twice in the last 3 days and have yet to receive a response . He also ended all of his listings after I sent the second message. Have you also purchased from this seller? I bought some cameras from eBay so I...

    How to reset password on Hikvision NVR?

    Thanks for the useful info. I don't have a camera with old firmware. I have ordered a camera but that is a newer model. Will I still be able to do it using the classic tftp firmware updater method with Python?
