Wow. I had no idea SS had a built-in NTP server. I feel stupid as I've been using it for over a decade. Thank you so much. It was very straightforward. Took only a few minutes. Thanks again.

Thank you for all this information. I will look into it and see if setting up a NTP server makes sense.

They are going into a POE switch that then goes into a router. I run SecuritySpy on a Mac Mini.

Pardon my ignorance, but is that a setting I have to activate in the configuration? These are all hooked up POE, so they are internet cameras.

I have about 10 Hikvision cameras and the time always gets a little off. I have tried manually syncing with the computer, but they eventually stray apart. Usually all within ±5 minutes, but annoying nonetheless. I have also tried probably close to 10 NTP servers (time.google.com...

I have (5) DS-2CD2087G2-LU cameras running on V5.5.800 build 21062. I am trying to upgrade them to the latest software available online here which is V5.7.10_220720. I have tried upgrading through Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Each time I upload the file and select upgrade, the progress bar goes...

Thanks. I did read over those threads before. Just wanted to see if I could get away with the easy install, but knew I probably couldn't.

I'm new to LPR cameras and just purchased an IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E from Andy. I'm struggling to find the best spot. Unfortunately, I have some large trees and other obstructions on the front of the house that limit where I can put the camera. I'd like to have one on the north and south sides, but I...

Never mind, found it in OSD settings. What is the Device Name for, then?

I have another question on these cameras. I went into the System Settings portion of the Hikvision camera and changed the Device Name as shown in the screenshot. But, the live view still shows "Camera 01" as the name. I tried rebooting the camera, but that didn't help. Any thoughts?

Never mind, figured it out. I had a general ONVIF setting for the camera profile in SecuritySpy and when I changed it to a Hikvision profile, it worked! Can't thank you all enough for the quick help. Will definitely be spending more time here. Thanks so much!

Thank you @wittaj and @fenderman for the quick replies. My Eero router seems to use IP addresses of 192.168.4.xxx and 192.168.7.xxx. So, I manually changed the IP address of the camera to 192.168.7.100 (from 192.168.1.64 default) using SADP. I can now go to that IP address in the browser and get...

I'm new to this site just to post this. I bought two DS-2CD2087G2-LU cameras from Andy at Empire Technology and received them this week. He shipped quick and the transaction was great. For the camera connection issues, I’m just going off what Hikvision USA told me here and I assume they're wrong...
