    Can I import a non hacked firmware onto Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-IS?

    Yea, I made the mistake of buying a large batch of cameras knowing they're international but not knowing they are non upgradeable until I received the package, which included a paper saying "do not upgrade!" I'll just let my clients know that these are the international version cameras and take...

    Can I import a non hacked firmware onto Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-IS?

    When I purchased these cameras, I didn't know you "Cannot Upgrade" the camera, or else you brick the camera (I know you can un-brick it but still). Thats fine with me. But is there any way to upload a firmware where I am able to proceed with normal US Updates? It's not a problem right now, but I...

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    In your case, it could be anything from bad cabling/termination, fluctuating current in your PoE Switch, noise on the ethernet line, etc. I'd check your terminating job. I had a camera which kept going out constantly and it was a bad termination job with exposed cable on the male end

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    Check your NVR's Bandwidth capabilities and reduce your cameras stream quality to Medium or something. Just because it is capable of running at 3mp per cam on every channel doesnt necessarily mean that it is able to handle it. Here's a bandwidth calculator I use...

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    Well it is now much simpler since you validated my assumed conclusion. I just didn't understand why such a high outgoing bandwidth was required or if it even made much of a difference. But yea, if I'm remote viewing on my mobile device or computer, I suppose it can use a lot of bandwidth... I...

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    RESOLVED.... No, it was not an IP conflict. Problem is that the NVR's Max Bandwidth is 96Mbps. The 10 Cameras were pushing well over 96Mbps. Replaced the NVR with a 200Mbps Bandwidth NVR and 0 problems. Btw, what is the difference between incoming bandwidth and outgoing bandwidth??

    Most stable solution for wireless feed?

    No, I'm sorry my friend. I appreciate your input. Was just cracking a joke, didn't mean to offend anyone :smile-new:

    Most stable solution for wireless feed?

    My limited budget is what I'd like to spend on access points or something with a solid connection over the air. I really hope you don't think I'm putting up Sricam up in a parking lot :laugh: They don't even support an Onvif protocol!

    Most stable solution for wireless feed?

    As much as I would love to run a hardwire, it is just not an option. trenching and repaving concrete. no thanks. I plan to add an Access Point per camera and bridge to one access point at the building. oh this will be fun :) btw, would anybody know how to pull a single channel stream from a DVR...

    @Kawboy12R wow! That is very detailed and simple! Thank you! Rep my friend ;)

    Most stable solution for wireless feed?

    $500 for all. $1000 would be stretching it. It's not really THAT far, something more like 500 meter range would be ideal, and that's even plenty

    Most stable solution for wireless feed?

    Budget mmm $500 for stable connectivity. Line of site? Yes but cameras will be spread out around the outside. Property is parking lot with building in the middle. Network closet is upstairs towards the middle. What is the distance on the wireless bridges? Can I put up one per camera and one at...

    How would I combine CCTV and IP to record on same NVR (non hybrid)

    Hey guys, I'm curious to know what my best option is to integrate my current HDCVI system with my IP expansion. Current system records Analog/Coax through Savant (so maybe each cam feed is on the network and has its own IP?) expansion will be 16 wired IP cams to an NVR. Can I get this analog cam...

    Most stable solution for wireless feed?

    Hey guys, I'm trying to find out what is the most stable solution for transmitting my IP camera feed (6-8 cameras) onto my network for my NVR. I'm not sure that the camera has built in wifi, if that's even a stable solution. Plus I'd have to get power to it somehow anyway. Camera is supposed...

    sub/main stream out locally still viewable remotely

    I have generic brand IP cameras plugged into a generic NVR. One of my channels is not streaming a main stream or substream. Yet, I can view the live image without a problem remotely. I could reset the box and would fix the issue, but that doesn't explain what happened. Could anybody shine some...

    P2P remote connection to NVR times out after 2 minutes

    Btw my other client with the exact same setup is not experiencing this problem at all. I could p2p view their system all day.

    P2P remote connection to NVR times out after 2 minutes

    I'm connecting p2p remote with my NVR via my mobile VMS app and while viewing the cameras, the camera connection times out after about 2 minutes. Once I stop the live stream and reopen the live stream it works for about another 2 minutes. All cameras are consistent with this issue. Is it my...

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    CCA? Never! Bad connectors? Idk. Possibly. They seemed fine. And the brand? NVR, No name from China. Cams, box is labeled GWsecurity, also China.

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    I am providing static ip addresses for my systems. I just forgot to assign a static ip range in the router. Would you agree that this what might be causing these occasional random dropouts?

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I may have found the solutions to the problem! Comcast and many other internet providers/routers use dynamic ip addresses, which may eventually conflict with one or more cameras. I tried putting the system in a completely different range, but then the system...

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    I'll check the log. One setup is a 32ch NVR with 10 cams. All going to POE switch. Client wants to expand soon. Had issues there from time to time. Mostly in the early stages, but haven't had any problems since with that one client.

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    The cameras, nvr's, and Poe switches I am using are a generic brand but quality. I usually pull Cat6. For this one project, I pulled cat5e with cat5e connectors. But same problems arise on my cat6 runs. In my setups, all cams either go directly to a Poe switch where the gigabit uplink goes to...

    Always having problems w/ IP setups. Why???

    Hey guys. I just installed another 4 cam IP setup, and customer already calling me that cam 3 is down. Yea resetting the NVR usually solves this issue, but that doesn't solve the problem. What am I doing wrong? Setup works for months or sometimes a few days until a camera goes out. Why?? What...

    16ch HD(CVI or TVI) cctv system and must have 8ch audio. Suggestions?

    Well that was easy... I should've known better to search higher video channel DVR's :stupid: Thank you

    16ch HD(CVI or TVI) cctv system and must have 8ch audio. Suggestions?

    Hey guys, I have a client who currently has 15 old garbage Cameras and a very old 16ch dvr with 8ch audio recording. He wants to upgrade to something much clearer (Megapixels) with 8 or 16 channels recording audio. He mentioned that his friend had to purchase 2 DVR's just to get all the audio...

    Can't connect to cameras directly on the NVR with the stated ways but can ping NVR

    Re: Can't connect to cameras directly on the NVR with the stated ways but can ping NV I had the same problem with a different system. The IP Address of your cameras might have a completely different range. Also, make sure everything has the same gateway and subnet. Example: Gateway was...

    Whats the difference between AEBELL and ONVIF protocols?

    I don't think aebell is. I'm using generic brand equipment all from the same supplier. 32ch nvr, 10 5mp Poe cams (3@5mp 7@3mp), all running through Poe switch. The issue I am having is most likely an IP conflict. Cameras will randomly drop out. The ones set at 5mp flicker in and out (on main...

    Whats the difference between AEBELL and ONVIF protocols?

    What is the difference between these protocols? I called my equipment supplier for tech support, and they highly suggested I use Aebell protocol instead of Onvif protocol. I thought Onvif is always the way to go. Why would they suggest that? Is Aebell more stable or something? Thanks

    Certain cameras go offline and display "Net Error"

    Yes, same setup at other sites, no problems. The thing with other sites is, those setups are hooked up to Battery Backups, which provide a solid power flow to all the equipment. As for Ip conflicts, idk... Should I change the 192. to something different (On all camera equipment)? The 168. to...
