    Generate QR Code with DS7204?

    If I were you I'd move away from HIK's own cloud connection and go with a VPN solution. It'll be a little more effort to setup, but much more secure. Please see @nayr's thread for more details

    Issue with image quality on new camera

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. First thing I did was check the lens, I thought I'd left a fingerprint on it or something. I'll try that ROI tonight and see if that costs it up. Paul Sent from my OnePlus 3T

    Issue with image quality on new camera

    Hi, I've just bought a couple of the new HIK Low Light cameras, you can see my thread here, but the image is off. Have a look at the attached image and you can see the blurred left hand side, the bush is a prime example. So do you think this is something I can solve or is the camera fit for...

    DS-2CD2335FWD-I - Hikvision Ultra Low Light 3M camera

    Well I thought I would take the plunge and get some of these as they seem to match the low light capabilities of the very popular Dahua turret and as I have a HIK NVR would match my kit more closely. I bought this from 'China Security Wholesale' for the original price of $120. There was a...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Open the file with notepad on a computer, does it have the certificate embedded in it? That will look like a bloke of random text. Also check the server address within the file. With my Synology NAS, I had two files, the cert and the config file, which worked on Android but not on iOS. Sent...

    Confused with Video Encoder

    Does the encoder support being powered over POE? If this is the case, then with the POE injector you shouldn't need a separate power lead. *** Update *** Sorry I just saw you are talking about the Camera, that should stay connected as it currently is. This should just convert the BNC input...

    Help with Hikvision NVR-based Motion Recording

    Sorry not sure what you are trying to do here, but if you've set an Arming window for the Motion Detection, then it would not record motion events outside of these times. The way I set it up is record constantly and then allow the Cameras to inform the NVR on events, motion and smart ones, so I...

    You have to log into the actual camera, through the NVR if you've connected to a POE port. It's then in one of the configuration pages, don't remember off the to of my head, but probable in the video settings. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

    What are your iFrame/FPS settings.. I had an issue with one of my cams and changing the iFrame setting to the same as the Frame Rate (10fps in my case) it resolved the Preview issue.

    IVMS-4200 - Can I link two cameras and play back from events together

    I'm getting to grips with this app and would like to know if I can enhance my playback from VCA events to be able to link two (or more) cameras to view when searching events. I don't mind if the events are from one camera, but would like to view in a grid two cameras for that time and in sync...

    Need Clarification--How Does A VPN Protect Your Surveillance System from the Outside World?

    If these are the inbound/outbound rules then it should not have stopped the access via VPN, as once you are connected via VPN you are already inside. Can you access anything else within your LAN via VPN? Network share or even the routers internal address?

    Question: Replace my current camera?

    Just had a message that HIKVision are not building these with an 8mm lens and could I do with a 4mm one.. Ummm Nope.. :) Slightly unhappy as I'm sure that HV will be building these with an 8mm lens, it's still part of the specs off their site. Shame really as I was looking forward to trying...

    Hi all, Does anyone have a trim ring or know where I can get one for the Turrent captioned? I have a fairly new one, but I've never been able to get the ring on. I've have the camera down and in my lap, but even then I cannot get the bugger to go on at all. I attach a photo with the obvious...

    Yes, you'd port forward the VPN traffic to the PI and when you connect your device is presented on your network and you connect to BI using your normal connection details you'd use at home. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

    Heve a device to run your VPN server internal to your network. I personally use a Synology NAS, but that's because I already had it and could use the server on it. A Raspberry PI should do the job just as well. Are you running BI? If so you could use the always on PC for it. Paul Sent from...

    abnormal network....

    I had an similar issue with Chinese cameras on my English NVR. I think as they flash the English Firmware on there, they leave some settings in place. First I had to get it onto my network so I could change the password, then it wouldn't connect to the NVR, but I cannot remember the error...

    Camera for attic

    It depends what you want, but for anything serious it would be terrible. The glass would reflect normal light etc and you'd not be able to use the IR in the camera itself. You could install an external IR gun, but then you might as well install an external camera as you'd need to run cable for...

    abnormal network....

    Is the camera connected to the NVR via the POE ports or through the network? If it's through the POE ports, I'd try factory resetting the camera and allowing the NVR to auto configure.
