    5.3.8 mssing smart events?

    In Chinese, so what? I clearly stated that does not bother me... The camera/firmware has a language/region flag and a checksum for antitempering. I am well aware of that.... There is no need to assume other people are retarded. Thank you.

    5.3.8 mssing smart events?

    DS-2CD3345-I only has 5.3.8 official firmware on hikvision cn (revision A/B/C). Language doesn't bother me. I am just wondering if it could have been a counterfeit/knockoff. Anyone else on 5.3.8 can check if this version supports smart events? Btw is it safe to flash the Chinese firmware? Are...

    5.3.8 mssing smart events?

    I got a DS-2CD3345-I with 5.3.6 which supports 13 types of smart events. Then I got another one with 5.3.8 but this one has only intrusion detection and line crossing detection. Can someone confirm if smart event features have been removed in 5.3.8? How can I extract the firmware to use on...

    Solving some NFS issues on Hikvision cameras

    I had the exact same issue with DS-2CD3345-I on v5.3.8 and v5.3.6. CIFS mount shows the size of the filesystem instead of usable size set by quota (linux quota). Windows client can report the usable size correctly. And the firmware does not support large shares (it can mount them, format, but...

    How do I enable telnet?

    5.3.6 and 5.3.8 Chinese models have only "Enable Illegal Login Lock" under security service. Any other way to enable telnet/ssh?

    Solving some NFS issues on Hikvision cameras

    The problem is that with linux quota, an actual Windows will report the correct volume size, but Hikvision reports the actual disk size. So the camera is going to try writing more than allowed, resulting hdd errors and broken overwrite feature? For example, quota for the camera user is 500GB on...

    HDD Management percentage of picture/record

    I have a DS-2CD3345-I on V5.3.6 build 151103. Mounted CIFS for storage. I would like to use as much space as possible for recording, but the quota for percentage of picture/record does not seem to work. I set picture to 0% or 1% it still reserves about 23% disk space for pictures, seems like...

    DS-2CD3345-I day/night switch

    I have a DS-2CD3345-I on v5.3.6. The camera is used indoors, left side usually well lit (kitchen, closer) and right side is farther and not lit usually (livingroom). I don't really want to set day/night switch to manual. At default settings a lot of times 3/4 of the view is somewhat bright, with...

    Is DS-2CD2342WD-I 4mp turret an overkill for indoor?

    I have DS-2CD3345-I. How is it different from DS-2CD2342WD-I? At 6144kbps max variable rate, the video quality looks pretty good. Not sure why you would think 4MP would be overkill. If you want to read letters off something, 4MP is not sufficient. btw mine has 2.8mm lens

    DS-2CD3345-I mount?

    The one I got came with a wall mount plate. I intend to mount the cameras on indoor walls instead of the ceiling. Drilling is not an option. I will probably tape the mounting hardware to the wall. What kind of mounting hardware should I get? Junction box type L shape What dimension should...

    FTP configuration error with Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I

    This is really pathetic... FTP config does not support domain name and it will tell you test failed... However if you change it to IP address, it works like a charm. This is supposed to be fixed in 5.2.0 but still doesn't work in 5.3.6

    5MP models DS-2CD2155F-IS DS-2CD2355-I?

    I have not seen any reviews about these 5MP modems. Yes they are for Chinese market with patched firmware for multilanguage support. Anyone has experience with them? I am happy with DS-2CD3345-I (Chinese model with patched firmware also). Is it worth the $25 extra (30%) to go from 4MP to 5MP...

    DS-2CD3145F-I vs DS-2CD3345-I for apartment indoor?

    What about DS-2CD2132F(D)-I(W)(S) vs DS-2CD2135F(D)-I(W)(S)? 2135 seems to be the newer generation with h265. What about other aspects? If I buy a Chinese camera with modified firmware to support multilanguage, will I be able to flash it back to the official Chinese firmware?

    DS-2CD3145F-I vs DS-2CD3345-I for apartment indoor?

    Thanks. It looks like neither of them supports 60Hz in the modified firmware. Will it be a big problem for indoor use? 2.8mm should be good for a typical apartment setting?

    DS-2CD3145F-I vs DS-2CD3345-I for apartment indoor?

    Which one is better for indoor like a living room? I can't even find the datasheet for them. 3145 has PTZ, 3345 doesn't? Which one has a wider angle at max resolution? Both are around $70 on ebay I will be using software solutions so H.265 is fine. I don't care if the interface is Chinese or...

    Where to by Hikvision? - How to tell I got a US version?

    Whats wrong with non US version other than language and warranty? I noticed the latest firmware version is different for China, US and Europe. When people say unupgradeable, do they mean it is impossible even after modifying region in upgrade file? I am tempted to get those Chinese 3.6MP...
