    are my hikvision cameras and nvr running latest firmware?

    computer updates are not the same as Hikvision nvr camera updates, unless you are 1000% sure you need an update DO NOT UPDATE as everyone has already said... do it at your own peril, chances of something going wrong or becoming worse 98%

    2CD-2342WD-I password issue

    the updates were fine, it was the local nas drive that scrambled the password to the camera .... or more accurately, i simply forgot it... it happens ! but i am glad i stopped at 5.3.8 :)

    DS-2CD2342WD-I Upgrade path

    I actually didnt have any real issues with 533 Q, however i am always interested in bettering the image at night, for my circumstance on this cam there was nothing more that could have been done apart from adding more light which was not an option, so it is worth the effort of a few upgrade...

    Remote Controls

    i have a 7604NI-E1 that is remote controlled using the Hik remote control, it works fine but in all honesty the Hik NVR software is absolutely rubbish and is not designed for remote control use, in my opinion the Hik software is about as good as an early VCR / Betamax player and it is no where...
