    Integrating Hikvision camera events with non-Hikvision recording software

    Digging up this old thread - how do you tell the camera to record via your code? Is there an API for that?

    Integrating Hikvision camera events with non-Hikvision recording software

    We've had a lot of break-ins in our neighborhood over the last year, including a few on my street. If our house does get hit, I at least want to catch something :)

    Integrating Hikvision camera events with non-Hikvision recording software

    So does that mean recorded videos don't start until 2-3 seconds after the intrusion is detected?

    Integrating Hikvision camera events with non-Hikvision recording software

    Very nice - thanks for the info! Since you're using the camera's built in recording capabilities, have you had any problems with the camera not recording as quickly as it should or missing a motion event entirely? Currently I'm recording 24/7 out of concern for missing something.

    Pixelated LiveView on Mac

    Yes! I was using version 3.0.5.26 of the web component from here, but I downloaded the one you linked, switched to UDP and it works now! Thanks for the help.

    Integrating Hikvision camera events with non-Hikvision recording software

    That helps a lot, thanks. When you mention that you don't get bug videos anymore, what do you mean? How do you detect bug videos?

    Integrating Hikvision camera events with non-Hikvision recording software

    Very nice! Are you using any recording software that you integrate alerts with, or... what do you do with the alert stream events? Also are you just polling (HTTP GET?) the event stream URL every few seconds?

    Integrating Hikvision camera events with non-Hikvision recording software

    I might try that next. The software just makes it easier to sync multiple cameras with a timeline. Also, the camera's in-browser playback thing seems to only works on Windows, and I'm on a Mac. (There is some Hikvision thing that's supposed to get it working in Safari on OSX, but it just doesn't...

    Time off by an hour

    I do not have a Hikvision NVR. I'm just recording to a Synology NAS. Even if the cameras are not being used to record at all, the time is (or was) off.

    Integrating Hikvision camera events with non-Hikvision recording software

    Integrating Hikvision intrusion events with recording software I currently have my Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I cameras recording to my Synology NAS using Synology's surveillance center. I can let the NAS do intrusion detection, but it impacts the machine pretty hard so ideally I want the cameras...

    Time off by an hour

    I have a few Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I cameras where the time is off by an hour. I set the timezone correctly, configured NTP, DST is disabled, and for some reason it's still behind by one hour. I don't know if it's a bug in the firmware or what to do. Any ideas? Firmware: V5.3.8 build 151224...

    Pixelated LiveView on Mac

    I'm just setting up a new pair of DS-2CD2042WD-I cameras and the LiveView in my web browser works fine on IE in Windows, but the problem is I don't use Windows (had to run a VM to set them up). On my Mac, I can login to the cameras fine, and I've installed the latest Web Components for Mac, but...
