    Hikvision like storage setup?

    How can I configure Dahua IP camera to record to NAS (smb) and snapshot to FTP? I read somewhere smb isn't supported on Dahua IPC but it is still listed as an option? In samba log I don't see any connection attempt and IPC settings has no test button for smb (FTP has a test button) When I...

    Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

    So for Chinese DS-2CD3T45-I5 (V5.4.20 build 160726) and DS-2CD3345-I (V5.3.8 build 160108) hacked to English/non-upgradeable, what method is out there to upgrade? I don't mind Chinese UI. Tried Chinese firmware IPC_G0_CN_STD_5.4.41_170710.zip, hikpack -L 1/2 and original dav all returned HTTP...

    Hikvision H.265+?

    I read the whitepaper and the space/bps/cpu saving is indeed significant. Any drawbacks? It is essentially VBR + R frame

    Hikvision H.265+?

    DS-2CD3T45 V5.4.20 build 160726, encoding V7.3 build 160713 2560*1440 @25fps constant, 8Mbps max bit rate, no audio recording directly from IPC 8 hours of recording in 1 segment (268.5MB), the quality doesn't look bad at all. The downside is that only vsplayer can play it. I have yet to find...

    Not worth the time or trouble.

    support/documentation for zoneminder is terrible... It is quite old architecture, with most features works sometimes and mainly tested with garbage cameras (Foscam).. Not a fan of Blue Iris either because it runs on Windows...

    day/night switch?

    All my Hikvision cameras are switching to night (greyscale) before it is necessary. If a manually set day/night mode to day then auto, it will probably stay in day mode for some time. I tried adjusting sensitivity and it didn't seem to help much. BLC did help sometimes but it causes issues...

    cameras arnt upgrading

    If you have nothing productive to say, don't bother with minding what other people want to do.... Newer firmware does have fixes, even though Hikvision still has a 200 mile long list of stuff to fix (a lot of them are security issues). textbox 16 character limit has been increased to 32...

    samba 4.5 NTLMv1 disabled by default

    you will need `ntlm auth = yes` When is Hikvision going to make things reasonably secure? ntlm auth (G) This parameter determines whether or not smbd(8) will attempt to authenticate users using the NTLM encrypted password response. If disabled, either the...

    Install https certificate?

    How do you create a CSR at all? I can't download it... choose save location, save, no error, no file either.... It does not accept pfx format. Creating self-signed cert fails with device error

    (near) real-time backup solution?

    running linux. I would like to backup only the last x hours instead of months of videos (too big). Not sure what to sync, there are so many datadir directories. Isn't syncing a partial segment pointless since it can't be played back?

    (near) real-time backup solution?

    I am using 2 Hikvision IPC's writing directly to samba share. Any ideas on how to achieve (near) real-time backup of motion/alarm recordings? One obvious way is to have a remote device record to RTSP stream but that's quite bandwidth intensive for always on. Anyone is familiar the directory...

    apartment entrance door camera without drilling?

    PoE does work with flat cables (at least for 30ft). It doesn't work with bad cables... imo you guys are missing the point. It's an apartment so I can't do any modification (drilling, running a conduit or anything outdoor). Yeah I am looking into some peephole cameras, might be an option. The...

    apartment entrance door camera without drilling?

    The goal is to see if there is anyone loitering outside the door/stealing packages. What camera/mounting options are there without drilling? PoE is available, but I can't drill or run cable that's too obvious. I am thinking some small form factor camera (size of the raspberry pi camera) with...

    Install https certificate?

    I am unable to find the spec for hikvision's https certificate. It definitely does not support chained certificate. Tried both pcks#8 and pkcs#1. Install success, but tcp/443 does not respond. Create certificate request generates 1048bits key, which isn't accepted anywhere today. So the only...

    Is there a way to capture picture on motion, save to local drive and upload to ftp? I already have a scheduled basic event with ftp/email. But I want motion picture capture to local/ftp 24x7 (only motion). Storage capture only has a continuous scheduler. Is there any way to achieve what I...

    Solving some NFS issues on Hikvision cameras

    The camera does automatically reconnect with cifs/samba. Or you can probably use something less power hungry for live recording (Intel NUC?) and then move the files to a nearline storage? Or maybe invest in a generator?
