    Hikvision backup format

    Hi I usually get the person reviewing the native recordings on HikConnect, you can share your machine on HikConnect temporarily for this function, it allows you to choose the permissions for the shared device. Remember to remove the share after they have finished the review.

    No record file found using Hik Connect p2p

    Hey there, I agree about the P2P, but if that is not your main concern, its up to you. The HikConnect can only playback via the NVR (NAS Storage) therefore any other recording done outside the NVR is not available as you add the NVR to the cloud and there is no link to other external...

    Combined Alarm

    Hi there, it is possible but not the recommended way to do detection but alarm detectors can be "bypassed" unless the detector loop is monitored (End of Line resistance - EOL) which is in accordance to UL. I would recommend that you have a conventional alarm system installed with the output of...

    Looking for suggestions on a DVR

    @gto-guy Save your money any upgrade now to Full IP. I am sure that you could use the existing cable, Ethernet over Coax, there are modules available if you want to still use the old infrastructure.

    Best Ubiquity switch for my setup?

    Hi As a DIYer, I applaud your efforts. That being said, using wireless 2.4/5Ghz devices is a bit complicated as spectrum analysis and find tuning is the key. My advice is try to use the cabled option instead of wireless however below is my advice on wireless. Setting up a wireless network...

    IP Cams Hik-Connect - Secure???

    Hey there I have migrated to HikConnect in 2017 from HikDNS as they supposedly shut down some "exploits", not sure how the cloud helps, anyway, the vulnerabilities will still exist unless you change/upgrade to the later firmware. Nevertheless, I am not entirely convinced that although one uses...

    Hikvision Honeypot Hackathon

    Thank you for doing this test, It is most helpful that you took the time to document the results. Glad to know that other exploits are not being used at this time although I believe that any CN product will still have them, given their historic surveillance issues. Give a shout out if you need...

    Best way to record 140 camera with server.

    Hi It would be better to use the Hik-Server that allows up to 300 channels but I guess it maybe too late for this now. On the VMS, a licensed software, Arteco, from Italy seems to be what you need. Its camera agnostic and is a full VMS solution. Theres a webinar next week so you can understand...

    Connection failed on iVMS-4550 after installing new router

    Hi, 1. Assuming that your NVR has a static IP, it could be that the new router issues a different range on its DHCP. Try to use the SADP tool to find the machine and change the NVR to DHCP. Without more information, it is difficult to give you any realistic advise. Questions? 1. Are you...
