Hey all...I have a 4108-8P that is not powering on. I took the cover off and the only light I see is an orange light on the board. I've tried disconnecting the HDD and nothing changes...still same orange light. If I put my ear down next to the board and listen carefully the only thing I hear...

Hey all, as the title says my BI machine for about the last month or so is having some issues. I am not getting recording for more than a few days to a week on an 8TB drive. I've attempted to read a decent amount of threads in order to fix but something is not working. Not sure if its due to...

As the title states I have a few wireless ip cams I configured a few weeks ago and they work well on LAN but no go while connected over openvpn? Any ideas? Btw, I have hardwired ip cams and samba shares I am able to access just fine on openvpn just the wireless devices are giving me trouble...

Hey all just a quick ?...I helped a buddy set up a dahua nvr system with multiple cams and everything is working great except for one thing...sound is not coming through via the gDMSS app. The sound is working on the nvr because we have it hooked up to a tv display (via hdmi output on the back...

First time user with dahau cams and trying to understand how the cam "housing" operates. I saw where the actual cam pops out from the housing but unsure how you adjust / lock down the cam once you have it positioned accordingly? Previous experience with the Hik's that have the lock...

Curious if anyone had any ideas what might be wrong with the pic from my cam? Seems as though it just started that pinkish area yesterday (where the grass is). Thoughts?

All- Just a little background, I purchased a 2342 from ebay and went to configure and install over the weekend and ran into some issues. Upon bringing up SADP the cam was activated and required the admin password. I tried several "known" passwords that are floating around the web and this...

All- Wondering if someone can help me out....I am not well versed on NVR's as I run a BI pc for my cams. My buddy wants to install a home surveillance system in his new home and right now we walked through and planned for 6 cams (eventually upgrading to 8 over time). He is looking at Dahua...

All- I initiated another thread a few months ago about a project that I was helping out on in a billiard / bar establishment (Camera Recommendation for POS stations?) and we started installing the cams yesterday. I noticed when installing the first cam it was in night mode due to the lack of...

All- Does anyone have any recommendations for cams viewing point of sale stations / terminals for bar / pub type of environment? I am helping a buddy replace some older analog cams and we will be getting a new IP / NVR system (most likely sticking with Hik for all cams) and 5 are needed just...

All- Been doing some reading / research and wanted to get some feedback and also suggestions on possibly doing a 4G LTE cam setup. More specifically my parents are inquiring about adding one or two internal cams inside their RV so they can periodically monitor activities while away. What I...

Anyone else that has bought LTS (rebranded Hiks) have trouble getting them to work with both popular smartphone apps (ipcam viewer pro and tiny cam monitor pro)? The only camera driver / type that works with these cams that I can find (after finally doing a scan) is the generic ONVIF for camera...

Hey all just got a few CMIP3042W Hik's yesterday (4mp Turret's) and went to install one today and experiencing a weird issue. The cam powers on when plugged in a POE switch but then after about 30 secs the red LED lights go off and it appears to power down? I tried hooking the cam up to 3...

All- I had another thread open for my backyard cam that I am "tabling" for now until I get a chance to test out a 3mp turret that I have to see how the night image is going to be: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/7091-Cam-Location-Pic-%282-8mm-or-4mm%29?p=64371#post64371 So, I decided...

Hey all...hoping some others can offer their opinion on whether to go with a 2.8mm or 4mm lens for this location....I am thinking go with the wider 2.8mm so that I can cover more of the yard but really the priority is to try and get coverage for all 3 door locations. Not sure if the wider lens...

Hey all I did a quick search for "garage door" and did not see anything so figured I would post and ask if anyone had any experience using a Hik cam to open/close garage door using alarm inputs? I read online that it can be done with other cam models (Foscam) so just curious if it can be done...

All- Hoping someone can clarify and assist me with what ports need to be open for Hikvision cams. I've came across several posts on the web and I am getting conflicting information. Also, what I am reading is not making sense because I am finding the opposite is true for my situation. I will...

Just bought a new 2432 and have it hooked up poe and I configured on smart phone app and the night pic looks crappy...shadows and pixelated or something. Attached is the pic...any ideas:

Hey all...just putting a "feeler" thread out here to see if there is any interest in my Zyxel 16 port poe switch in which 8 of those ports are poe (10/100). It is an unmanaged switch and works great. I have had it about a year and a half or so and the only reason I am considering getting rid...

All- I am looking to buy an Hikvision 2432F-IW and saw a few decent deals on Amazon. Just curious if that is the best place to buy or can someone here recommend another seller? Also, from what I have been reading I should be looking for the US version of Hikvision cams instead of the...

All- I am currently running BI 3.60 (I believe) and last night I attempted to go to Settings / About / Software Update and look for newest software to download but received error message: "Unable to connect to internet" or something like that. But the kicker is I can bring up a browser and am...

Hey all, new member here at IP Cam Talk but been a "lurker" for quite some time. I recently installed BI and like the software from what I can tell. It is very intuitive and there seems to be a lot you can do with the software. I have been attempting to create "profiles" and then schedule...
