    So you’re using a PC as your NVR? I added my Dahua NVR using SN/Scan. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Dahua NVR4108 Recording Settings

    Reducing quality (frame rate and resolution, etc) will make the recordings small and allow for more days of recording. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    NVR5216-4KS2 problems with new firware.

    I probably wasn’t clear. I need to access the cameras directly occasionally to configure things like shutter and latch timing, field of view, focus, white balance, etc.. but there are dozens and dozens of things like that on our cameras. I’m not sure I can even change DHCP to static and visa...

    NVR5216-4KS2 problems with new firware.

    Access is very limited that way. Many more configuration options are avail directly on the cameras. That’s why they had the link. Bottom line, it’s not worth the hassle to use the new firmware if I lose needed functionality. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    NVR5216-4KS2 problems with new firware.

    The issue is that my network is on the 192.168.1.1 network and the cams are using Dahua’s 10.1.x.x network segment for the PoE ports so they are not reachable unless I change my PC or Mac to the 10 network to get access. There is a button in the Device CFG menu of SmartPSS that lets you link to...

    NVR5216-4KS2 problems with new firware.

    I prefer push notifications so I didn’t try email. My issue was they took away the web links to my cameras that allowed me to connect and configure them individually. Because the cameras are on the Dahua 10 network it’s hard to get to them any other way. Maybe they felt that was a security...

    Wrightwood Surveillance still in business? Front door camera?

    This brought back memories of Carl (Network Camera Critic) who passed away a few years ago. I looked on their FB page and the last post was 2016. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    How to set up the correct time settings

    Yeah, I've struggled with this for years. It's a unique problem for my Hiks, my Dahua's and Flir's (probably the same thing) have no issue with DST. As you can see, the NVR is authoritative and pushes the time to the cameras. The Hiks will always be off until DST ends. I really wish Hikvision...

    Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English

    Longshot but my 5.3.0 to 5.2.5 downgraded camera had problems on reboots (it reset all settings to default) and was unpingable. Then @alastairstevenson suggested that it could be the reset button on the back was stuck or broken and it turned out it was stuck under the lip of the camera back. I...

    HELP! Cant find DS-2CD2432F-IW after updating firmware to 5.4.41_170312

    So your problem is that you can't see it in SADP right? Did you try to look for it when you put your PC back on your regular network? I wasn't able to see mine while I was on the 192.0.0.128 network either but when I reconnected everything and started up SADP it popped up with an IP of 0.0.0.0...

    HELP! Cant find DS-2CD2432F-IW after updating firmware to 5.4.41_170312

    I have the same exact camera and the same thing happened to me after trying to upgrade what I thought was a US/International camera from v5.3.0 to v5.4.5. As a last resort I tried this Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English and it fixed it. So for me it was the scenario...

    Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW Time Sync Issue with Flir (Dahua) NVR

    The Flir NVR (made by Dahua) doesn't let me turn off syncing with the cameras. Sounds like your NVR lets you do that. Where do you see that on/off feature, PSS? If so which screen?

    Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW Time Sync Issue with Flir (Dahua) NVR

    Thanks for the reply. I have NTP off and I have checked manual sync and saved it but it drifts back an hour the next time the NVR syncs the cameras. My Dahua's and Flir's all keep the time accurately. It's just my four HIKS that have this problem. I've even tried turning off DST in the 4 cameras...

    Unbricking DS-2CD2432F-IW help, no luck with 5.30 downgrader

    No doubt and mine is probably more secure than many given what I do but as you know these open combo wifi/wired cubes are in peoples homes who may not be as technical as we are and therefore more at risk of a vulnerability. Anyway, while interesting for me this is way off topic. :) I really do...

    Unbricking DS-2CD2432F-IW help, no luck with 5.30 downgrader

    Yep although as a security executive I would say it depends on the security issue and if there are other ways to mitigate the risk. Thanks for the feedback and your work here. Mike

    Unbricking DS-2CD2432F-IW help, no luck with 5.30 downgrader

    Yes and I appreciate your suggestions I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Who is working on the 5.4.5 firmware? I'd like to try and follow him/her or the thread.

    Unbricking DS-2CD2432F-IW help, no luck with 5.30 downgrader

    I have tried IE, no difference. Keep in mind that prior to the bricking a few days ago I was able to change settings and reboot as much as I wanted so I'm not convinced the reset button would suddenly and coincidentally go bad but I guess it's possible.

    Unbricking DS-2CD2432F-IW help, no luck with 5.30 downgrader

    Yes it does. I use the web interface to log in but Hikvision's IVMS works too. Another odd thing I noticed is that when I first access it via SADP after the update the IP is 0.0.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0. I would have expected it to be 192.0.0.64/255.255.255.0.

    Unbricking DS-2CD2432F-IW help, no luck with 5.30 downgrader

    I would have thought that if it can transmit the downgrader dav it could transmit any supported dav regardless of a flaky reset button. If it can for one why not all?

    Unbricking DS-2CD2432F-IW help, no luck with 5.30 downgrader

    Yes there is a rst/wps button on the back. I'll fiddle with that and see if I can get it to move in or out.
