    DS-HD1 remains connected to wifi disconnects and immediately reconnects

    I did this in my DHCP server... ie. set it so that for the MAC address of the camera, issue w.x.y.z as the gateway where w.x.y.z is the address of another host on my network that is ping'able. You might be able to do the same thing manually within the camera settings, but I'm not sure. Your...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    It's possible, but I didn't see any traffic to/from google to either device. Both the doorbell and the app maintained connections to servers hosted at Amazon.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    No. The online connection is what allows for the notifications. The doorbell sends a signal to one of hikvistions servers. That server knows that address of your mobile device... because you have the app running on it... and it relays the signal from the doorbell to the app on your phone...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    You do need the app to get the chime set up... a lesson I learned the hard way. If your router has a guest network or DMZ capability, you might could use it for the configuration phase and then once configured, move it to the internal network. That's what I did, but I have a fairly advanced...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    A little more scariness on this camera. Let's say you enter remote configuration via iVMS or BI and change the admin password... you don't do it through their app... well, their app still has access to the camera, even though it has no knowledge of the new password you set. If you change the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Not that I know of. I think it's probably proprietary to hikvisions cameras so it probably works for most cameras they white-label that also work with iVMS... for now. I just heard from hikvision earlier today that they were discontinuing the storage server at the end of this month... I have...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Yeah, that was a bummer. It took 2 phone calls and 4 emails with Hik-Vision to finally get them to reveal that it wasn't compatible with the storage server. Whats so aggrivating about it is that it's actually sending the data to the storage server. tcpdump shows a constant stream from the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Well guys, I finally got this thing working. Here's what I've learned... I had configured the whole thing and had it up and running with iVMS and BI... everything except the chime... without using the hikconnect app at all. Unfortunately, there is no way to configure it to use a chime without...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Guys, I'm lost. In an act of desperation I connected the hik-connect app. In the hopes of finding a configuration option that I cant find in iVMS or ONVIF (ie. chime type). Within hik-connect app, I can't find any place where the camera settings are located. I can see setting options for the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have not used the app. The doorbell is not on a network with internet access.... and I'd rather it not be. I configured it with iVMS and SADP. I don't see a setting for chime type anywhere in the settings... either with iVMS or with BI (ONVIF).

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi Guys, I'm not able to pull all of the chimes and put them on a bench so I'm trying to isolate one chime and just work with it. If I get it working, I'll add the others back one at a time. I have installed a new 16v/30a transformer, replacing the old 10va one. If I put a voltmeter and an...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi all, Here's a drawing of my current doorbell wiring. It's a mess, I know, but that's how the house was wired. As best as I can tell, I have everything connected correctly, but I'm no electrician so if you see something amiss, please point it out. The existing transformer was able to power...

    DS-HD1 remains connected to wifi disconnects and immediately reconnects

    I found the answer to this one in another thread... The camera is trying to ping it's gateway every 5 mins or so. If the ping fails, the camera is assuming something is wrong with the network and is dropping the wifi and rejoining. In my case, I had not defined a default gateway because I...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Hi All, I'm trying to get a Hikvision DS-HD1 working and it's been a struggle so far. These posts have been helpful, unfortunately I'm coming into them 312 pages and 3 years late! For whomever manages the DOORBELL 101 article, I'd like to suggest a couple of adds that I have learned so...

    Hikvision DS-HD1 Config Questions

    One more question -- I've read that there is a setting in the camera to choose mechanical vs. electronic chimes. I don't see that option in iVMS remote config. The install booklet doesn't make any mention of having to select anything in software. Does this option really exist?

    Hikvision DS-HD1 Config Questions

    Hi All, Working with my new DS-HD1 and am noticing some significant differences when compared to my other hikvision wifi cameras. So, I have some questions... My firmware is 5.2.4 build 200321 How do I set a Privacy Mask? How do I set OSD font size? How do I set a bit-rate higher than 2k...

    Hikvision video batch convert

    Hi all, As many know, when you save a block of video from a hikvision camera, dvr, ivms, etc., you might end up with multiple video files, and whether it's one file or 20, they will be in a semi-proprietary format. ie. mpeg-ps in an mp4 container. The hikvision format converter isn't the most...

    hikvision firefox "your browser is not supported"

    @alastairstevenson - I'm using Firefox 72.0.2 (64bit Windows) and I think websockets are enabled. I may not understand what you are asking, but the error I was getting would only allow IE to connect. Basically it was requiring IE11, not excluding it. When I look at about:config and search for...

    hikvision firefox "your browser is not supported"

    Thanks. Where are these kinds of changes documented? It would be nice to know what's in a firmware release before applying it. I see the release notes on some version, but I've not seen any mention of things like "disabling firefox" or "bricking chinese cameras with US firmware." No one...

    hikvision firefox "your browser is not supported"

    Hi everyone, I just upgraded one of my cameras via tftp from firmware 5.5.5 to 5.5.83 and as soon as I tried to login to it, I got the following error: The url jumps to (http://192.168.1.64/notSupported.asp). I know the live-view plugin doesn't work with firefox, but I've always been able...
