    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    So how do these cams compare to others once the NR is turned off? I was quite shocked when I disabled it - I couldn't handle the temporal ghosting with it on.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Yeah I just wish they had higher bitrate for h264... My hikvisions goto 16mbps (lowered to 12 in later firmware) It would be nice if these did too. I was just pointing out that as old as mjpeg is, its nice to have it there, to provide a lesser compressed image. I suppose high bitrate h264 is too...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Hey so couple of questions... 1) How do I disable uPnP discovery of this cam? I don't want it appearing in network places on my PCs. I've disabled uPnP in the gui but that relates to port forwarding. 2) Why is it constantly trying to talk to Amazon AWS when I've turned off all the p2p cloud...

    Any Nuc users?

    I'm in Australia too! I'm i3 nuc, the i3 4010u version. 4GB ram. I've got 4 hikvision cams, 2x 1080p25fps and 2X 2048x1536p20fps It hums along in Milestone XProtect essential at about 30% cpu usage on default motion settings. That's recording. Trying to view the 4 streams on the NUC pegs the...

    Hikvision PIR + Milestone + AlarmIO

    Hi, Milestone xprotect recently added crossing line events for hikvision cameras in their software. Yay. However they don't have an event that corresponds to the inbuilt PIR on my cube cameras. To get around this I told the camera to trigger Output 1 for the inbuilt PIR. I then shoved a wire...

    easy way to turn off motion detection DS-7608N-E2/8P

    Hey Dreamboat, that is a fantastic idea of connecting the output with the input. I cannot figure out how to get Milestone to recognise a PIR event on the 2432 cube, but this may just do it! I will have a play!

    Same model, they are both about 2 years old. I don't know what the sticker says, do I need to get my ladder or is there a command I can run to get the date?

    Hikvision 5.2.5 & 5.2.8 Full English (INC DAYS OF WEEK) mtd Hack

    This is fantastic, I managed to get one 2332 done. However, I'm having issues on another cam. I tried a few times, but its stuck in chinese. And prtHardInfo shows language = 0! I even restored mtd5,6 from my backup, and it still shows 0! I have tried tftp 5.2.5 from the downgrader, same thing. I...

    Very quick review DS-2CD3345-I

    Thanks for the effort. If I understand correctly, it lets you choose between h264 and h265? You aren't forced to use h265?

    X-Protect reset Hikvision Camera?

    A ha! I hadn't thought of just pinging the cam every minute and if no response reset it! I havent got that netgear switch yet but you raise a good point re power budget. I will dig deeper. I didn't want a wall plug because it will kill all the cams for a minute, where as with a managed switch...

    X-Protect reset Hikvision Camera?

    Hi, I've been mulling this over for a while in my head but the situation is this: my Hikvision cams have stopped responding maybe 4 times in the past 8 months. Simply pulling the Ethernet cord and putting it back in solves the problem as these are PoE. I'm thinking about getting a Netgear...
