    Hikvision region code changer

    Cool, let me know if you need any help. I would publish how to do the region code yourself but it's complex, but if I'm convinced by others here I will.

    Hikvision region code changer

    When you say 5.2.0, did the box say that when you got it as some are coming from China as 5.2 but originally had 5.2.5 firmware. What I can do with 5.2.5 firmware is provide a hack that will make the camera English as long as you don't update firmware. With 5.2.0 is easier, I can either do the...

    Hikvision region code changer

    What is the firmware level of the camera now? If it's 5.2.3 or older I can do the "region code" change for you remotely if you give me telnet access to the camera.

    Help me find a LPR camera around 1k dollars

    I actually put this 12mm Hikvision bullet (can be any brand) to view my mailbox and noticed that I can see plates during the day, then adjusted night time viewing to see plates at night since I don't care about seeing the mailbox at night anyway. It's worked out well for me and of course cheap...

    Canon Offers to Buy Axis for $2.8 Billion

    Canon has made security cameras of their own for a while, actually with some unique features as some use them as webcams as they can broadcast rtmp, but you don't see or hear much about them. They bought Milestone a few months ago, the largest NVR software company and they have not changed their...

    Help me find a LPR camera around 1k dollars

    Are you trying to record plate numbers in a database and be able to act on plate number matches or just be able to see a plate number in a video? I can see plates at 15m with an ordinary 1080P or 3MP cameras, but not well enough for plate recognition software but I can if I put a longer lens on it.

    Recommended bigger POE switches? 16-24 ports or so?

    C3750-24-PS us 100Mb/s switch with SFP uplinks, so assuming most of us don't a fiber backbone at home, 100Mbps is going to be a disaster with over 6-8 cameras, let alone 24, hence the reason they are cheap, frankly overpriced at $160. My switches are gigabit, so yes they cost more and they are...

    Help needed with Dahua SD42212SN PTZ install

    It's PTZ vandal dome, no IR. I like the way you mounted that Mardah, clean and simple. My only concern for a PTZ is the vibration, motion and anchoring that piece of wood on a small spot may eventually cause it to wobble. Maybe I can put a board across two rafters for support. I ordered the...

    Recommended bigger POE switches? 16-24 ports or so?

    I took used their high-end 10GigE switches for work purposes, but like you said, they can be expensive and we paid thousands per switch. To most of us here, paying $500ish for an 8 port PoE switch that you think is a premium switch and having it fail so much tarnishes the Cisco name regardless...

    Recommended bigger POE switches? 16-24 ports or so?

    I had the same experience with Cisco's desktop gigabit PoE switches, replaced mine with a ZyXel at the time. To me they seem the sturdiest. Have one in the heat of my attic for a while now with no problems, it's a few years old.

    No longer on cctvforum

    I here ya. I came close to being banned for posting links to articles in NetworkCameraCritic.com. Ironically, I started the blog about 5 years ago as a way to put the information in one place so i didn't have to repeat my answers on cctvforum.com over and over again. Happy hacking!

    I want to install one of these mini-PTZ cameras and trying to figure out what's the best way. This is the camera, looks like an ordinary dome This is the roof. I would like to mount it as close to the fascia board as possible on the left of this picture. The rafters are 1 3/4" thick, the...

    UART JP1 Connector on Hikvision Circuit Board

    Thanks, that did the trick. Took a while to get from China but nobody on this side of the Pacific had anything like that. Also tried a few hobby stores, but none I went to sell just connectors. Now I have to get some free time and experiment with it.

    Frustrated newbie wants to ditch Hikvision cam

    How did you set the camera to DHCP? SADP does not have that as an option. Since you mention Apple, if you are using a Mac, go into Terminal and enter ifconfig (instead of ipconfig) and you'll get similar output. It's OK if your PC is DHCP and even if Synology is DHCP, the camera should not be...

    Frustrated newbie wants to ditch Hikvision cam

    It's a common problem to expect support from stuff you buy on eBay, especially camera brands that have no factory support. You may want consider brands with factory support like Axis, Bosch, ACTi or buy from a reputable dealer than can help you. But to work with IP cameras you need at least...

    Hikvision DS-2CD6026FHWD-(A) 2MP Ultra Low-light for vehicle license plate capture

    Re: Hikvision DS-2CD6026FHWD-(A) 2MP Ultra Low-light for vehicle license plate captur Here's the dealio, that Hikvision camera with typical low level of support you get from Chinese manufacturers will cost you as much as the Bosch and Axis cameras and maybe double the Samsung and nobody has any...

    Inspire 1 INCREDIBLE!!

    Cheaper for sure out of China, but Amazon Prime gets it to me in 2 days vs a month at best, so depends on your tolerance. But I wanted to get a few as gifts so that route makes sense for that as there's no rush.

    Inspire 1 INCREDIBLE!!

    I wish my gimbal was that cheap, paid more than double for one for the Mobius, but the issue is weight, so research before buying because heavier camera and gimbal makes the controls more sluggish and shortens battery life, makes more noise, blah, blah. Check in at rcgroups.com forum and search...

    Got my Kiitoys up and running, couldn't resist. This thing is so tiny and surprisingly well made for its size. You can easily have few of these on your hand. I was able to peak the interest of our pets and crashed it numbers times and still works. I just need to find a larger area where I can...

    Yes, that's what made is so funny. I couldn't lift that camera with my DJI Phantom, let alone a drone I can put in my pocket. I should get it today but I really want to get my Phantom out there today. Just added a gimbal and add the camera tilt function to my remote. The small quad is just for...

    Hikvision Multi-language Version V5.2.5 DS-2CD2032-I

    Got the same problem on a new camera. It is English, ran for about 10-15 minutes then froze. Reset button didn't help. So I TFTP'ed 5.2.5 on there and same thing as you. Telnet works, but the files are gone. /dav was empty, root file system is gone, had to login as root as admin didn't work...
