    Hikvision 5.2.5 firmware compatible NVR?

    Ahh yess, forgot about that. That was also one of my reasons I wanted to get the I2 model it also has the greater outgoing bandwidth (256mbps vs 80mbps) However, I just recently got my 7608NI-E2 so it seems a bit of a hassle to sell it and yeah. The other thing I remembered was when I was...

    Dome v Bullet

    If you're looking at Hikvision stuff, they make the 2032F which is a 2032 with an SD card slot. The turret you can twist off the bezel, but you have to undo a screw in order to even turn it. With the dome you can also undo it, but you need to undo 3 screws. if anyone wants to disable them a...

    Black Cameras?

    Damn, I was going to suggest plasti-dip as well. it's got that nice matte black finish so it's not as shiny as a typical black camera. What can't you do with plasti-dip? Painted a set of wheels for a mate with plasti-dip came out great. No one knew it was plasti dipped hahaha.

    Hikvision DS-2CD2032F-I 3MP 4MM

    You have to ask the seller to confirm whether you are getting the F or the I model. As the picture is of a 2032-I, and the description says 2032-I. Also keep in mind the F has a big white cylindrical thing on the cable midway between the camera and the connectors. The I model does not have...

    DS-2CD2032F-I hang up after FW update

    When you updated the camera did you have it setup the same way? So it was computer, switch , camera? How did you set the IP address before on the computer and camera? Sometimes SADP won't see it for some reason if you have it setup slightly incorrectly.

    Hikvision 5.2.5 firmware compatible NVR?

    Do you really need any features that the I2 model offers? I don't believe anyone on this forum is currently running one (as least not one that speaks up). They're a new NVR that has just come out and last time I looked only 2 sellers on Ali were selling them. Generally people run the...

    Hikvision NVR's and SSD Drives

    The RAID controllers alone can be extremely expensive. Let's just go back to the SSD idea since this thread has seemed to turn into a discussion. SSDs are probably the worst choice ever for storage like this, they do have fairly limited write cycles and will then just die. So do mechanical...

    Best monitoring app for (hikvision) ip cameras

    Yeah I figured that out right after I posted that. It still is a bit finicky to change the date and time. I wish Hikvision would work more on the UI. IE you set a time you want to go look at you're viewing it and you need to go back further. You have to go out to say Live View and then back to...

    DS-2CD2032F-I hang up after FW update

    Is there a router in there somewhere? It sounds like you gave the computer the same IP address as what's on the camera. Also never trust what the box says for firmware version as most/all of the ones you buy in the brown box and Chinese market cameras which have been hacked for English and...

    Advice on set-up

    I would also avoid the cheap cheap ethernet cables they can cause problems on their own. For the SD cards, just watch out for fakes. Sandisk and etc don't use any more holograms and etc anymore to help identify the real ones (even then the Chinese copy everything anyways) so you gotta do as...

    Hikvision 7316

    I was wondering about a similar thing. Although I'd be using a POE switch.

    Hikvision NVR's and SSD Drives

    According to Hikvision calculator. Say each camera has a bitrate of 6144kbps for 90 days continuous it works out to be 98, 140GB aka 99 TB for 16 cameras. The cost to run an array that large with SSDs would be prohibitively expensive and unnecessary. Large businesses here don't even run SSDs...

    Configuring IVMS-4500 to remote view Husian clone camera

    One last thing. uPnP isn't enabled on the router/camera is it?

    Configuring IVMS-4500 to remote view Husian clone camera

    Have you tried changing the external port numbers to something different? Try changing port 80 to anything else like 32500 or something on the external port. Then try checking that port on canyouseeme.

    Configuring IVMS-4500 to remote view Husian clone camera

    I do believe your router is still blocking the ports, or still blocking requests that originated from the WAN.

    Double check your IP address when you do restart the router.

    Configuring IVMS-4500 to remote view Husian clone camera

    I also do believe some ISPs do block certain ports for whatever reason, don't know if that may be your case. When scanning the ports did you set a range that the number you want falls into or did you just go 8000-8000 and etc?

    From the couple of sellers I tend to check out that seems to be the price difference. I didn't go all out to look for a bargain though, so they might be had cheaper.

    Which NVR with alarm input, and is it worth it?

    If you're talking about Hikvision NVRs the ones with alarm output have "/A" at the end of the model number. I believe generally the Alarm I/Os on NVRs is supposed to be an extension of an existing alarm. IE With the Alarm output on the NVR, could be set to trigger the alarm if motion was...

    What do you mean you can get the URL successfully? I guess you haven't set any port forwarding?

    Hikvision NVR's and SSD Drives

    Main goal of an SSD would be the speed, the other benefits are no moving parts so no noise, lightweight and low heat. To match the capacity of a standard hard drive would cost $$$$. If moneys not an issue, go for it. For 40TB of storage I hope they got deep pockets. OP which NVR do you...

    How to make "any" camera wifi capable?

    If that POE 'injector' had a USB port you could remove that extra adapter. You could probably solder on a Reverse-SMA connector for the wifi antenna if you really wanted to.

    newbie and lots of questions please read :)

    What is it you are actually changing that causes it to 'crash'? Also the reason why it goes from 16:9 to 4:3 is because 1080p is 16:9, while 3MP = 2048x1536 = 4:3. However, yes restarts work wonders.

    SD Cards Longevity question

    Some dashcams don't like sandisk cards at all, they'll probably work for a bit then just stop. I believe it was the G1W that had issues, although I've run sandisk in my G1WH with no issues. However, I run a transcend card as I don't want it to fail when I need it. There are soo many fakes, and...

    How to make "any" camera wifi capable?

    ^It doesn't seem like they sell it separately. Would be a neat unit. I gotta get me one of those TP-Link mini routers, they're bloody 30 aussie dollars.
